I write about freedom, trust, and the future of governance. Inspired by early American ideals reimagined for a digital age, I'm exploring how voluntary societies can grow beyond coercion—not through protest, but through practice.
Aw, look at how the butterfly tries not to get tired looking for a place to land where it won't get eaten by otters and the otters jump, trying to be the first to catch it as it falters and tear it up for food. Really needed this today 🙏 ❤️ 😇

Logos on X: "The American Spirit was never American. It was human. The will to self-govern and build a better world. Over time our freedoms have been eroded, but as @JoWarrenWrites notes, that spirit never died. Now we can take them back. https://t.co/o1VuOagWYK" / X

Even more than majoritarian rule, I mean

I don't want to be lumped in with the same cynical propaganda in other replies. I believe in the same values as those who created modern democracies. My question is if those same people created a society today, would they create something new again? Perhaps innovative reinvention can do even more

How long will we need others to tell us what to think, what to do, and how to live? To coddle us while we process, until we either wither or realize that we are the instruments of our own demise or success and stand tall on our own two feet? I'm not sure, but I believe in us. And I'll keep waiting.

Some blame democracy, one of the victims. Other victims include friendships, families, plenty of other societies. How much suffering will we endure before we hold out our only human hands to one another, and find a way out together?

The human soul is sick with hatred. In the churn that was made to create value, hatred and outrage bubble to the top, trapping a growing heat within us, and our planet. Americans blame Trump yet the same flip had happened in parts of Asia and was poised to happen in Europe and Canada.

This isn’t a pitch. Not a blueprint.
Just an honest attempt to ask some questions that feel too important to keep to myself.
Just wondering out loud:
What might we build — if we started from principle, not inertia?
If it resonates, I’d love to hear from you. DMs open. Replies welcome.

Society is working as designed — but more and more, it seems like it wasn’t designed for us.
I’m starting a conversation about freedom, trust, and what comes after the systems that no longer serve us.
Not fixing what’s broken — reimagining what might come next, together.
This is the first letter.

A letter to those who still believe we can do better
