Explore the Questions That Drive Our Work
The world we've inherited isn't the only one possible.
These topic areas represent the questions I'm most passionate about exploring—the territories where I believe transformation is both necessary and possible. They're not separate domains but interconnected aspects of understanding how power operates, how systems change, and how we might create alternatives centered on dignity and genuine freedom.
Each piece of writing here connects to multiple themes, but I've organized them to help you follow particular threads that interest you. Think of these categories not as rigid boxes but as entry points into a larger conversation about what we've inherited, what we're questioning, and what we're working to create.
I invite you to explore based on what resonates most deeply with you right now—whether that's understanding the mechanics of current systems or imagining what might exist beyond them.
PRIMARY CATEGORIES
Power & Systems
I'm fascinated by how power operates in our world—not just in obvious ways, but in the subtle, everyday mechanisms that shape our reality. Here, you'll find explorations of who controls the systems we inhabit, how these structures maintain themselves, and what happens when we dare to question them. These pieces trace the hidden architecture of power and invite us to see beyond what we've been told is inevitable.
Money & Economics
What if our economic systems were designed to honor dignity rather than extract value? In these writings, I examine alternatives to our current economic models, explore what dignity-centered economics might actually look like in practice, and investigate our complex relationship with money and worth. This is about reimagining the foundations of how we exchange, share, and create value together.
Freedom & Liberation
True freedom isn't just about individual choice—it exists in relationship. These pieces investigate what collective liberation requires of us, how we might practice freedom that honors our interdependence, and practical approaches to personal and communal transformation. Here, we question inherited definitions of freedom and explore what authentic liberation might actually feel like.
Change & Transformation
How does genuine transformation happen? These writings analyze the principles of revolutionary change, examine what enables or prevents systems from evolving, and explore where to focus our energy for maximum transformative impact. This is about understanding the dynamics of change itself—and how we might participate in it more consciously.
Worth & Dignity
Our dominant systems tie human worth to productivity and economic output. These pieces challenge that premise, exploring what dignity-centered communities might look like and redefining value beyond economic metrics. Here, we question what makes a human life valuable and imagine systems that honor inherent worth rather than conditional value.
SPECIFIC TOPICS
Power Analysis
When we look beyond surface appearances, how does power actually function? These pieces examine specific control mechanisms, question authority structures, and explore the often invisible ways power operates in our everyday lives. This is about developing a sharper eye for seeing how power works—and where it might be vulnerable.
Hidden Patterns
Some patterns repeat across what seem like entirely separate issues. These writings trace recurring dynamics in seemingly unrelated systems, recognize how certain power structures tend to replicate themselves, and map connections between phenomena we're taught to see as distinct. This is about developing pattern recognition that helps us understand the deeper structures shaping our world.
Economic Alternatives
What exists beyond extractive capitalism? These explorations look at regenerative economic models, community-based approaches to meeting needs, and practical alternatives already being implemented. This isn't just theoretical—it's about concrete possibilities for organizing economic life in ways that support flourishing rather than exploitation.
Resource Distribution
How might we share resources more equitably? These pieces examine methods for more just resource distribution, explore frameworks for economic justice, and investigate alternatives to current systems of wealth concentration. This is about questioning who gets what, why, and how we might create more balanced approaches to sharing what we have.
Rest & Resistance
In a world obsessed with productivity, rest becomes a radical act. These writings investigate rest as political resistance, explore practices that challenge productivity culture, and make the case for reclaiming rest as an essential human right. This is about refusing the demand to constantly produce and finding power in slowing down.
Personal Liberation
How do we find freedom within oppressive systems? These pieces explore individual mindsets that support greater autonomy, personal practices that cultivate liberation, and ways to develop genuine freedom even within limiting contexts. This is about the inner dimensions of transformation and how we might liberate ourselves from inherited constraints.
Collective Action
Individual change isn't enough. These writings investigate community-based liberation strategies, explore effective solidarity practices, and examine how collective action creates systemic transformation beyond what individuals can accomplish alone. This is about the power that emerges when we work together with shared purpose.
System Roots
To change systems, we need to understand their origins. These analyses trace historical patterns of power, examine the foundational belief systems that shaped our current reality, and uncover the philosophical underpinnings of our economic and social arrangements. This is about seeing the roots of what we're trying to transform.
Practical Solutions
What's already working? These pieces showcase existing alternatives to extractive systems, explore practical frameworks for creating change, and highlight real-world examples of communities implementing positive transformation. This is about concrete approaches rather than just critique—showing what's possible by pointing to what's already happening.
Future Possibilities
What might be possible beyond the limitations we've been told are inevitable? These speculative writings reimagine society through visionary alternatives, explore system redesign, and expand our sense of what could exist. This is about exercising our imagination as a revolutionary capacity—because we can't create what we can't first envision.
Human Dignity
What would it mean to center inherent human worth rather than utility? These pieces explore dignity-based systems design, investigate frameworks that honor the intrinsic value of all people, and challenge metrics that reduce humans to their productivity. This is about placing dignity at the center of how we organize our world.
Belief Systems
Our beliefs shape what we see as possible. These writings examine how limiting beliefs structure our economic and social systems, analyze frameworks that could transform our collective understanding, and question the assumptions we've inherited. This is about recognizing how our mental models create or constrain possibilities.
Interdependence
Freedom and connection aren't opposites—they require each other. These explorations look at relational freedom principles, examine frameworks for collective wellbeing, and investigate the balance between autonomy and community. This is about moving beyond individualism without sacrificing genuine freedom, finding liberation in our connections rather than apart from them.
