The visionary reflection titled "The Year 2026 is Coming!!!" serves as a profound call to action for a collective spiritual and institutional evolution. Dr. Alfredo Sfeir-Younis articulates a global imperative for "Inter-Being," urging humanity to transcend physical and mental frontiers to manage our planetary commons—such as climate stability and biodiversity—through a new social doctrine. By advocating for a shift from personal consumption to collective well-being, Sfeir-Younis frames the upcoming year as a critical turning point for protecting creation and eliminating systemic suffering. This discourse reaffirms that the path to a sustainable future requires not only structural changes in global organizations but also a deep, inner collective transformation rooted in compassion and solidarity.

Decentralized Web3 Reshaping Internet Governance: Towards the Emergence of New Forms of Nation-Statehood?

This article explores how decentralized Web3 is reshaping Internet governance by enabling the emergence of new forms of nation-statehood and redefining traditional concepts of state sovereignty. Based on fieldwork conducted in Silicon Valley since August 2022, this article systematically addresses the following research question: How is decentralized Web3 reshaping Internet governance and influencing the rise in new nation-statehood paradigms? It compares three emerging paradigms around Web3: (i) Network States (Srinivasan), envisioning digital entities rooted in crypto-libertarian principles; (ii) Network Sovereignties (De Filippi), emphasizing communal governance aligned with digital commons; and (iii) Algorithmic Nations (Calzada), drawing on Arendtian thought and demonstrating how communities—such as indigenous and stateless groups, as well as e-diasporas—can attain self-determination through data sovereignty. This article contributes a unique conceptual analysis of these paradigms based on fieldwork action research in Silicon Valley, responding to evolving technologies and their potential to reshape Internet governance. This article argues that decentralized Web3 provides a transformative vision for Internet governance but requires careful evaluation to ensure that it promotes inclusivity and equity. It advocates for a hybrid approach that balances global and local dynamics, emphasizing the need for solidarity, digital justice, and an internationalist perspective in shaping future Internet governance protocols.

Cara New Daggett: "This idea of growth is a quite recent experiment, and maybe it’s not the best experiment to be having. Part of the power of something like growth is the way it gets naturalized and then it shuts down the idea that anything else should happen because this is just kind of ‘human nature or ‘nature itself’ or ‘the only thing that we can do’'.”

I would be delighted to, at some point, find out that there is some sort of continuation of the #Interdependency series by @scalzi - because while I’ve just started the third re-read, there’s still just as many threads left untied.

One article does seem to suggest there were plans for the a continuation at some point, but the same article also mentions that the series structure looked markedly different then.

Still, it’d be nice to get some metaphorical sowing gear 

"#WEF anticipates a period of “#polycrisis” in the coming months, marked by economic warfare, resource rivalries, the end of the low interest rate era, #deglobalisation, a period of low investment and growth, and other challenges. “It’s a situation where different #risks collide and their #interdependency is acutely felt,” WEF said." https://www.straitstimes.com/world/cost-of-living-is-biggest-short-term-risk-as-world-enters-a-time-of-polycrisis-wef

Geopolitical tensions and inward-looking policies will heighten constraints, says the Forum. Read more at straitstimes.com.

🧵 If you're beginning your journey into #buddhism, here's a thread with some of the things I'd love to warn my former self about.

1/5 - True Buddhism is an illusion.

Many schools claim to be representing “Original Buddhism” or “True Buddhism”. This is an illusion. All forms of Buddhism are cultural, and traditions are (like all phenomenon) rooted in #impermanence and #interdependency.
