Another shortie but goodie: Most of us like boundaries but don’t like hierarchies. Same for me. But the uncomfortable truth is that boundaries and hierarchies presuppose one another. If you want boundaries, this implies hierarchies. If you challenge hierarchies, this loosens up boundaries. In the end then, this means that neither can boundaries be absolute, nor can hierarchies be abolished in all cases. The two are two sides that must perpetually be balanced against one another. The question, of course, is whether boundaries set are just, and thus whether the hierarchies they imply or negotiate are defensible. If I set

“Wise and sensible people doubt themselves and their own opinions — fools and fanatics are dead certain and full of conviction (which makes them, alas, keep winning out as they have more initiative and momentum, and thus the world runs on stupidity).” — Said, more or less, by Bertrand Russell, Franz Kafka, and probably other smart people. Sure. Let’s add another layer to this, though. How *certain* are you that the other people are so certain? Maybe they just seem certain to you from where you sit, while you in turn seem certain to them? Maybe there’s a selection bias

Always remember that sadness is the emotion of the invincible.When this happens, it’s usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people or changed who can see it, or it’s been deleted.

I don’t usually do this, but, in honor of Norway’s independence day, May 17th, here are the last couple of Goodreads reviews of The Listening Society. This book will be coming out in three new editions, by the way: 1. German (late this year, should be on the Frankfurt book fair, the world’s largest I believe) 2. Portuguese (Brazil), about half translated now… 3. Updated version, “dark edition”, to mesh better with the development and research that has come out since it was written, plus fixing some fact and research errors. Next year or so, after The 6 Hidden Patterns

There are only two kinds of people in the world: Those who believe in stupid dichotomies of there only being two kinds of people in the world — and those who don’t. From “12 Commandments”

Have you heard of MetaGame? It’s what you might call a metamodernist hacker initiative, rooted in crypto and idealistic blockchain. Here is a MetaGame reading of the metamodernism I have proposed: “A lot of issues aren’t fit for nation states. There are problems to be solved at the local or city level, problems to be solved at the corporate level, at the state level, continental & global levels. Political metamodernism is transnational. So is MetaGame. MetaGame doesn’t need any Great Scheme for How to Build a Perfect new Society & Make Everything Better – the only thing we need to

And finally — the printed version of my new book “12 Commandments: For Extraordinary People to Master Ordinary Life” is available. (Direct link in the comments below!) The digital version has begun to gather some reviews. Here’s one I noticed today: “Good book, gets better from the second commandment onward. Would be a good complement to 12 rules for life by Dr Jordan B Peterson, it goes beyond order and onto wrestling with god. Reasons not to tidy your room. Check out the other stuff by Hanzi […] as well! Thanks” May most beings be reasonably happy.
