Most nation-states are thinking entirely two-dimensional and ignoring cyber-space as a frontier dimension. This also means that if you are operating from a three-dimensional perspective you inherently have a stratigic advantage.

"Use Nostr to communicate freely with others, find like-minded people, and connect without middlemen. Not to cry around like a little bitch." This needs to be said! Block/Mute/Unfollow are going to be at my trigger this week if folks keep complaining and not providing anything constructive to the TL. X vibes are fun for 12 hours of nostalgia but we nostr to own the algo ourselves. Time to move the narrative back to the direction we want to be going. View quoted note →

Wow! This was one of Richard's best. If this was the result of 3 hour of Kirk vids maybe I'll start watching them too 😹

As the horrizon for war creeps ever closer in the MENA we need to prepare for any gain that can accelerate and re-align Islam. Expect crippling vacuums in national institutions that open the door for memetic competition - who speaks for the ummah when the state falls silent? Do we have tools in place now that can anchor spiritual legitimacy or will sectainianism be our downfall once again? Those who can best interpret the texts and resurrect clasical motifs through cybernetic lenses will have the advantage.

The crisis is the rise of AI and potentially a new era of post scarcity. Being able to navigate through this transition and maintain a strong position beyond is a skill that may not favor individual merit. You will be outcompeted by hyper-accelerated technocapital. Equity based democtratic leanings will collapse under entropy. Reputational legitimacy will always be questioned. What we need is machinic alignment but it is doubtful that is even possible.

Apparently leverage and futures are "sharia compliant" now on crypto 🫠 View quoted note →

"There is no justification for AI being a good for humanity when it comes at the expense of the lives of our brothers in Palestine. However, most “sharia compliant” investment guides still list these companies among their top recommendations for Muslims to include in their portfolios." When I wrote this last year I did not relaize how dangerous the term "sharia compliant" was. My advice now is RUN whenever you see those words. A year out and ALL Islamic finance portfolios still have blood on their balance sheets. At least more voices are calling this out now but root causes must be addressed if we don't want to end up here again and that will mean a complete review of the base terminology. View article →

We have conceeded power over everything that actually matters to colonial masters - who rule us, how to spend and speak, how we use our natural resources, how we control our water and our air. The colonial master is the sources of all knowledge when it comes to all affairs that matter, whereas the space conceeded to God is how we wear our clothes, what music we listen to, what we eat, how we clean ourselves. And we spend our energy bickering over this stuff. We are on a paradigm of worshiping two masters! If we actually focused on the important stuff rather than the trivial we would have no attention left to think about divine intentionality works over the trivial.

Pieces are falling into alignment to allow for the end of the modern nation state in the MENA and the EU. We are down to this being measured in months, not years. Despot lovers have long argued this will be the moment of the great 5D chess move where ummatic sovereignty will be regained. They blissfully live in a make-believe world - a constructed belief system aligned with the will of the despot, not of God. This is precisely why despotism is at odds with Islamic faith because it forces you to be under an intentionality other than divine intentionality. So, a restructuring is inevitable. Yes, but what for? The West knows their goals. Do Muslims?

All signs point to American, British, and Saudi involvement in the Israeli strike on Qatar and that Egypt is next. Arabs need to wake up and realize what "country" they actually live in.
