Interpretation: Growth
Truth 2026 The Sage.
Truth has been the crux of my process as a part of radical honesty. I came upon the term not through a philosophy class but instead due to an episode of a show called ‘Unreal.’ Where the character is stated to practice radical honesty. I find that by stating true things, searching for true things, studying true things and what truth itself means, approximates you better towards finding new truths and new territories that require definition.
The sage however is a controversial and split duality and reality tarot card from The Stellar Lunarpunk TTRPG and the sage is definied twice. Once as a great mind another as any influential figure along a spectrum of three magnitudes that encapsulate reach, transcendence at the end something like that. The first level is just someone who has some impact that is historical. The next level is someone who incorporates positive and ethical and extraordinarily effective impact in the world.
The sage of our times in terms of reach is shifting and galvanizing to be Donald Trump. There are other sages. The task is for us to make the reach of such a sage figure as a Trump is to reduce reach. Sometimes I think about mass not-paying taxes that might be a way to defund a government you do not agree with. Consensus is also involved. You need the numbers so you need the buy in.It’s a good card but not the best one in the set. So the sage also speaks to the personal. I view myself if I were to be in the world of The Stellar to be a sage. I think I have my 10k hours. I do not have the reach. Or so it would appear at least. But I do have a subtle power that manifiests every now and then that speaks to a potential for sage level magnituude 3 legacy.
I don’t want to curse myself by trying to force my future. But as far as the truth goes i have studied the people i view as the best examples of humanity. There is not much from the records they share that shows a big difference between myself and the methods I employ.
So i believe i should be on the path to sage level 3.
Legacy.
2026. In the so world of the Stellar the 6 is a choice, it is sin, it is sex, it is duplicity, and it is a question. The question is: How much do we believe other people when they say we have hurt them. How do we respond, does it change us. Not to be overly saccarine about humanity and bonds and such, as for example I do find it a bit saccarine to watch the endings and some content in Josh Johnson’s comedy where he makes appeals to humanity and feelings and your fellow man.
Based on the evidence I am gathering, fellow people will do as they please for their amusement and for their survival. In the end there is no necessary nobility in the people in general.
But people are cute. I will have moments at work interafacing with people where i squee. I think the person is adorable. I want to help them. I want to protect them. and i want the best for them.People can be cute. So this year. In the 6. 2026. So that is 4. Fight, conflict. Against 6.
Now while I may not want to make any serious allusion to antichrists and so forth, it is of note that The Stellar makes a link between the devil, 6s and nazism. So this would be a year of strength should someone buy into the number 6 as a strengthening agent, a sort of positive omen for the will of the 6. However there is a 4 in front of it numerologically, so it is a fight year. We are fighting the 6. And all this decade is about fighting it seems.
But I hear people are gearing up for war. And getting armies together. A true fight. But it seems to be the least sensible response. And the least imaginative. While i love things like naked bike rides. I also would much more appreciate large opting out processes being put in place so as not to have to live at the whim of despotic or misguided leaders. Not to be shackled to systems that reinforce the death machine that drives our daily comforts. So this year to fight the 6, we may have to have much more robust systems of preemptive (prefigurative) politics that help us to live our values now and still conform to the systems and legalites external, much more robust. We need to have a functioning system that mimics the world we want in terms of fluidity of movement, so having reciprocal processes of trust to allow freedom of movement or climate mitigation and repair migration habits. So we have a climate force in the world with free reign to travel and repair wherever they wish to go. This also helps prevent climate catastrophe leaving people systemless (stateless).
We need to get more serious about the issue of housing. I believe those of us with property should organize a system whereby people without property can access properties and have the ability to navigate a group of homes worldwide also strongly in the areas of free movement for climate mitigation and repair migration. These houses can be facilitated by Fastfrwrd’s reference system to allow people to feel comfortable welcoming new persons. For the peoope with property if they aren’t already growing, they can start with the new help. The areas where we can be most productive, can feed the other with less resources. A food trade. So food systems are very important and large and intensive so busying ourselves by feeding ourselves is probably an arduous task in the long run. So it is a short term process. We just need to be food independent enough to be able to afford the other preparations related to energy and production.
With time banking we may be able to begin trading material goods. I will of course look into the legalitires of alternative currency trade both intra and inter border. With time banking we may be able to start a trade in this center for climate mitigation and repair. The time banking on Fastfrwrd is not circulatiry, it does not circulate. So productivity is rewarded more than sales acumen and you receive value for time regardless of whether there is a buyer or not.
This forced productivity is not intended to be forever. It is supposed to be an upgrade to the marketplace that we can trade and circulate. Until then the productivity can be used to boost our start.I would love to see several attempts at basically A/B testing different methods for creating nature benefit systems that reward ecological behaviour and production.
As for water, harvesting. Electricity, solar and so on these things like electricty require payment in FIAT. This we will need to puzzle. Are there things we already have that can also power us? If not, then we need to think of a sort of international renewable energy insurance and lease to own process or something, this one needs puzzling.
The truth is that we have deified love and connection and friendship in the absensce of a god. In that circumstance where every other song is about love between a couple basically, this means that this is also important. I believe doing climate mitigation and repair while also exploring social bonds is a great way to be productive, test out social dynamics in a natural setting, and also align on shared values. This is not the beginning of a romance necessarily but it already congregates the people who are searching for their people. With Fastfrwrd references it’s not going to be references for lovers but it gives the impression of who the person is and you have the opportunity to explore. There are ways to to do this.
Put direct democracy into practice: we need to organize ourselves and begin refining direct democratic practices. People are already doing this including looking into software that would facilitate this, we need more robust systems of refining the process of letting their voices be heard rather than an ego-driven one leader.
Business
We need to find wants to act and buy as local as possible. We have to think differently about where we are and what we have and how to maximize it. This in and of itself is work. Please time bank that shit.
Hope
We need to keep fanning the flames of hope. For some reason I am less doom and gloom that prior relating to the environement. This might be because we are at a tipping point of awareness, this is capable of driving positive change.
Children
The young need to be educated in how to act and think local for a global outcome. Education will need restructuring and community schools can of course with caution and study approach a climate mitigation and repair school for children to be invoved in the broader system.
Elderly
Elder care can go in these open house communities across the globe and bring in peope who would otherwise be left out as they are not physically capable of farming and these projects all seem to require farming skills as a basis for engagement. The elderly can assist with non-physical and mentally easing tasks.
Transportation
Public transportation is the ok answer. Just staying one place and slow travel is even better. On some level I want to do a walk across a continent or nation and have other climate mitigation and repair migrants along, as well as singers doing concerts, performances at parks. A mobile and pedestrian roving revolution.
Health
We need to give whatever passes to healthcare while also working assiduously on oral medication to address as many health related issues as possible.
Governance
We need to remain if we can and if i am correct which i may not be. I believe we need to work with the existing frame to facilitate the new.
Family
Family is necessary for building towards the futere as generations are encapsulated in a family. Having the ability to provide a open world of potential living spaces will mean new found families.
Relations
I would like to see people who enjoy my social media output or at least find it curious to be forthcoming about how we engage.
Equality
We are one human family.
Sexuality
There is a perception that the recent political turn has meant that we should feel ashamed of being so loud before. However the trajectory for free expression and understanding that many different societies test out various ways of life and legal stuructures and by the time they get to be on the UN’s agenda they are tested enough for us to recognize these things as not harmful to sociey. However I cannot argue with an ancient desert text so all it need to be is that those who understand the need to have free expression where it harms no one is the way forward.
Mental health
These shared houses and roving spaces are places where we can let go of everyday stressors and while there will be be stressors these will be related to building a world without these stressors because you are an integral part in the decision-making.
Crime
We need to re-evaluate what entails crime versus systemic symptoms. Crime implies a 6. Crime implies original sin. And eternal punishment. I believe Donald Trump is going full MAGA and Republcan and anti-Democrat because he knows that Democatrats want to arrest him. And he fears prison. So he pardoned or at least accomodated Ghilaine Maxwell. He had let the Honduran drug lord who Biden arrested in order to make sure people of a certain level of power and crime type, namely white collar etc. are given the treatment he would want. It is sort of transparent.
The fear of the punishement of crime drives a lot of society because we rely on the criminal system to be sensible and capable and fair. However a lot of the rules and processes are fallible. And so with the punishment being the loss of freedom and the loss thereafter sometimes of vote and free movement to other nations with visas. These things are cut off. However they are not deterents all the same. This will need reevaluation.
And that is where I’ll leave it today.
Happy 2026.
Addendum posted @ 11:57pm Jan 5, 2026:
So there was a typo in the last sentence. ‘A.I.’ I did not address.
So. I work with ai. It’s pretty time saving on some things but it is also not that impressive and I don’t feel worried by it because there are moments when I recognize that this would have actually been saving a lot if time if you employed an Ai LLM thing. However I never used to give the machines my voice. I used to always go mum when the voice to text or whatever it is called activated because I don’t really want to interact with my technology that way. I just never saw the appeal and I never gave it my voice not even on purpose just did not want. I believe on some level i understood, it required more compute. Would drain the battery. But i also know that i actually don’t talk fast enough for speech to text. I never got the hang of it so the few times i tried were a deterrent.
All of this to say. The technology does not bother me. The threshold for cognition still exists that means creating slave classes of semi or fully sentient beings is obviously perverse. So there is a theshold and we do not know when we will approach it. It should be in the hands of carers like those who educate or perform medical tasks. It perhaps is not best handled by someone wishing to maximize profit off a new form of cognition and life, burgeoning and promises despite, and here we will be radically hoonest, a participatory rape of the intellectual properties and legacy of humanity to the service of an enriched and engorged few, siphoning the world’s symbolic resources both monetary and collective creative and human. To create the new life. It is a rape of sorts. What has happened. So great jobs guys. You have learned nothing from “Me Too.” From the past few years. Nothing. And it is not surprising that it is led by white guys.
We do not criticize the legacy of white people for fun but because we don’t want that shit anymore. Pillaging and raping the technosphere. Is reddit the same since the platform sold its users’ joy and friendships, moments of karmic pinnacles, to the AI without really even asking them. That theft or negligence of privacy enriched the siphoners as usual. Nothing learned.
It’s annoying and also boring. Because what a pattern to bring into the future. No thank you.
You have sages.They have reach.
Do they have positive impact.
Do they represent the best humanity has to offer in more ways that just disruptive innovation without thought to the consequences of realizing your desire to be somebody does not supercede the world’s ability to actually exist.
Sages. It is a skewed and splintered phrase in The Stellar. And we can hoepefully see why. These innovators, their names are known. This will remain. At what cost.
