⚠ before you open the map
what’s below is a map of how civilizations fail — and you can’t unsee it. these ideas are controversial. they hurt to think about. for some people they bring real existential dread. to look anyway is to choose truth over comfort — the red pill, taken with open eyes. go gently, and bring what you feel to the others — no one should hold this alone.
“this is a visual map of humanity’s deepest patterns, designed to help people understand civilization, find their deepest role (dharma), and work together to steer the future upward.
a picture is worth 1000 words, so i’ve designed this to give you a visual download of the islands of coherence you’ll need on your journey.
i’ve laboured to provide multiple complementary islands of coherence — multiple apertures into the metacrisis.
as the old saying goes, ‘all models are wrong, some are useful.’ i hope these islands of coherence are useful for you in your dharmic journey!” — kevin owocki · read more →
