In a network: an adjacent possible, right next to our Oligarch Hellscape.

Corner of TP & Hair Color
Oligarch Hellscape is where people wearing red caps have plenty of guns and ammo, but are powerless in a war of attrition, since they will very quickly run out of TP and Hair Color.

Corner of Adolescent Citizens & Lockdown
Oligarch Hellscape is where almost all people in Affluent Societies are treated with all the respect due to Adolescent Citizens: remaining in lockdown and scrounching crisps until further notice.

Possibility Space: The Green Outcome, that’s the one we want.

Printer Goes Brrrrrrrrrrrrr
Oligarch Hellscape has a characteristic, pervasive sound: brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

The Trimtabby Adjacencies In A Possibility Space

Stop Clicking The Snooze Button
Instead of TP and Hair Color, there’s a portal in our awakening minds, where we will find our way to locally sourced food, and rediscover how to wash our hands and minds with soap and nature.

Stop Clicking The Snooze Button
Instead of watching Netflix 24/7, there’s a portal in our awakening minds, where we will rediscover reading, listening and conversing.

Stop Clicking The Snooze Button
Instead of all sounds being derivative of brrrrrrr, there’s a portal in our awakening minds, where we will rediscover generative listening, listening forth different sounds, different frequencies, different productions, different mixtapes, different sharing, different village squares, different communities.

A Preferable Adjacency Named Community

Behavior Turned Newfound Agency
Right here and now, there’s a new portal in your mind. It takes three weeks to go through. It would only take an instant, should you fully divest from everything in your mind you keep yourself attached to, that no longer serves.

The answer to life, the universe and everything, is community. We are finding ourselves making good use of The Great Pause, by figuring out different questions.

You read all the way down here? Great! Still the Green One.

You Are Beautiful Beyond Belief
Be kind to yourself. Be kind to your true self, the self that always was, is and will be, beautiful beyond belief. Give yourself three weeks. It’ll be worth it. Don’t worry, we’ll save you some TP after your awakening.
