hello! welcome to my digital garden! 🌷

this is a space comprised of 2 main parts:

  1. publishing my structured research/curation on the metacrisis - i.e. the set of inter-unfolding crises that underline the current moment we're living in the history of human civilizations, and

  2. my own developments & propositions integrating these references - especially in the fields of consciousness development, design, technology, art, regeneration and games as systemic responses to the metacrisis.

you'll also find loose notes - exploring different ideas, resources, pathways to create thriving societies, oriented towards supporting the integral development of individuals and our systems, instead of our dominant ones, based on win-lose dynamics and extractivist paradigms that are destroying the planetary systems we depend upon, promoting profound psycho-spiritual alienation and leading us towards impeding systemic collapse.

⚠ note: this garden is under intense development! most notes are works-in-progress and may have a few disconnected phrases, references and links scattered throughout. explore at your own risk or come back in a few weeks/months when they're more mature! :)

ps: in case you arrived here but don't know who i am, you can find πŸ‘¨πŸ»β€πŸŽ€ an introduction to my life, self and work here.

pps: this website is not currently optimized for mobile view, if you're on your phone, select "use desktop version" on your browser settings to better visualize some elements, such as images and tables.


❔ how this space is structured

notes in this garden have 3 growth stages: #🌱 (seedling), #🌿 (budding) and #🌲 (evergreen).

there are two ways you can navigate this space:

  1. πŸ—Ί a structured, organized, narrative way, in which i share the foundational concepts, references, tools and discoveries of my research/learning/work. (still very early stage! i recommend you follow the second option, below.)
  2. πŸ•Έ a loose, experimental, self-directed navigation on a topic-based index of notes, which is how the notes are planted in this space.

choose your path below!

1) πŸ—Ί my r&d - structured way


(clickable soon! for now, you'll find a few essays below.)

read more about the research themes/inquiries or jump straight to the core essays below.

transform life into a real-world massive multiplayer online-and-offline collaborative self-transformation & regenerative civilization-building game.

(see more at: l1f3 game)

you can read a lot more about the motivations, background and philosophical basis of this research on my viable pathways book-zine (coming soon).

core essays

the essays below present the major inquiries that i'm slowly tending to, curating and developing my perspectives/proposals on. they're currently under development (the emojis represent their growth stage).

  1. 🌱 πŸ‘‹πŸ» my thesis - thriving in the metacrisis & facilitating the regenerative transition with the help of life support systems, networks and games
  2. 🌱 πŸ§˜πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ a meta-system for modular self-development & interoperability across philosophies, methodologies and perspectives
  3. 🌱 πŸŒ€ on the present & future of authentic and transformative learning - tools, resources & pathways
  4. 🌿 πŸ’­ foundational concepts for developing regenerative information ecologies & empowering knowledge commons
  5. 🌱 πŸ¦ΈπŸ»β€β™€οΈ design specs & constraints for enabling minimum viable vocational economies
  6. 🌿 🎎 the role of and practical tools for curation, communities & distributed sensemaking amidst accelerating attention & experience economies
  7. 🌱 🌐 an introduction to the L1F3 support systems
  8. 🌱 🌌 reality 101 - a curated hyperlinked multimedia collection
  9. 🌱 πŸ•Έ life design & decision-making 202 - fundamentals beyond the common sense
  10. 🌿 πŸ•Ή experiments - life as play, energy management, collaborative life wisdom & ontological design as systemic responses

*disclaimer: my aim here isn't to provide definitive answers, but starting points. my hope if for this curation to serve as an overview, to give us some clarity of the territory and empower us as sensemakers and infinite players. so we can start playing these metagames more consciously, effortlessly and collaboratively.

2) πŸ•Έ loose navigation - notes breakdown

relevance score visualizations

i still have to figure out why the digital garden plugin i'm using isn't allowing me to show the relevance score property on my notes. i currently have 138 notes with assigned relevance scores over 80 (max 100), and i'm slowly adding it to more and more of them (mostly design & lab notes were tagged so far, so the index below is missing a ton of stuff from alchemy, art, player and regen, that are less processed/more embryonary).

i intend to fix this soon, but in the meantime, while i'm also building other views to help navigate this information - the 025 πŸ—Ί topics & references MOC and viable pathways' 05 - core references & resources pages - this is a useful visualization for navigating this research garden by identifying what i deem as most relevant from the areas above:

*i've hid anything below 80 relevance score since - well, they're not as relevant at the moment, and therefore shouldn't clutter this visualization.

additional information

how do I make my own garden?

i edit this using obsidian, a note-taking software that i use for myΒ second brain. you can start using the app by downloading it for free at obsidian.md. there are many tutorials and possible advanced setups, but for starters, i recommend nick milo's "obsidian for beginners" youtube series and his LYT obsidian toolkit.

to host my notes, i use theΒ obsidian digital garden pluginΒ . it's quite easy to setup. but you can also pay for obsidian publish for a simpler setup.

how can i be in the loop for new content/updates on these projects?

sign up for my newsletter. also, if you want to be even more 'in the know', one possibility is to join a whatsapp group i created, in which i only occasionally share updates and exchange with a small group of friends. i'm leaving it open for new co-conspirators as well right now, as a way to approximate our relationship if you really feel the resonance. ❀ ask me about it on telegram.
