when it’s time to give up on placating loss

this is a short poem describing my arrival at a series of conclusions about life’s real nature.

i’m going to dublin ireland, month-end: it was always where i said it was the place i wanted to die — but therefore, naturally, live first too.

things have changed since those affirmations: i visited sweden and saw a much better way than anywhere i’ve ever been to of organising society: for the first time in my life, for example, i felt it cool to be old. i felt able to enjoy being old, i mean.

i don’t now know what my life holds for me. tbh, this is the truth. i have seen reasons for what has happened to me and others in the world since i was born, and i have been ignored consistently at best and prevented brutally from acting at worst.

i sense there’s nothing more i can do to share better and more productively my perceptions of what we are all collectively doing wrong these decades; and so i ultimately find it impossible to comprehend any chance of my utility arising before i die.

i therefore sense also it’s better i die sooner than later.

*the cs lewis reading room in qub, belfast*

the pain is become too much: to know why and be both aggressed for it and, minimum, ignored for it and simply passed over always … well … it has become just too much.

i hope you appreciate, at least, right now, for the minute, the technical skill of the poem that follows. but for me, right now, at 61 it’s not a technical act of putting digital pen to paper, at all. (nor, frankly, has it ever been.)

i hope this you also may find it in yourselves to understand.

see you all in dublin … yeah?

“when it’s time to give up on placating loss”

no longer a love poem by mil williams

you loved him because of his words 
and the words were finer than you ever could 
but it wasn't just the surfaces
it was the undercurrents too 
and the grace under pressure
and the pressure under the mace
that life is becoming
now
and even then was already 

and he did the right thing that day he did 
at that wondrous age of 61
and so it's when you knew you should too
it was just finding the way 
the right way to do the thing you'd wanted to do
for so long and long ago 
because whilst the violent ones hurt your so
and continue to violate your intimacy to this day 
all you can see now for sure is no one else cares 

and as he at his 61 
realises the world doesn't care for him 
enough to see why he's right 
and they're quite wrong in all their cruel uncertainties
he sees it's time to leave the world to suffer alone 
because there's nothing to be done any more 
because the people in charge are whores
to the totem that is the pursuit of money 
at the expense of humanity

he curls his digit around the figure
that is the trigger  
and fingers it 
like no woman ever cared to embrace him 
because grace under pressure 
is what that's all about:
doing what's right not doing what's pleasant 
never hesitating as the pain beckons 
and the abuse reminds him

that justice is criminal
never natural 
and so that's been his life 
and behind him beautiful books and words 
and things heard that were untrue
and others that really weren't 
and so that's the nature of the east
as it grinds democracy to pieces 
which i no longer want to put together 

so i admire and feel inspired
by my man of 61 all those years ago 
and by the things he found it in him
that he was able to get out 
to better a world he knew 
was awful enough 
to have to escape one day 
in mode of personal obliteration 
because in my case i don't know if in his

only five people of my closest family
save themselves in my memory 
as it stands before i act 
and no friends at all
have ever been more than hidden fiends in ruth:
enemies as the swedish say in their tongue
of the truths i have possessed
but will never be able to hand on now
because now is much too late to placate the loss 

which i feel deep inside the soul 
that lays beneath my every step 
as they have made of ALL my life 
something i have wept so fully 
as dully i come to the final conclusion 
that nothing out there 
has ever understood 
a single thought 
i ever had

just remaining that act i too must pursue
at the age of 61 that currently possesses me 
at month-end when in the country 
i knew i would cease ultimately to be:
when my life WILL wend its way 
to exposure of necessary closure 
and where with one last text and webspace 
i will try and communicate 
all the things you all should have done 

which really you didn't 
and possibly deliberately didn't 
and which have led directly 
to the funding streams 
and mafia-like revenue pots 
that enabled 9/11
and putin's russia 
and hamas's terrifying abuse  
of both israeli people and its own so-called "own":

because i ask you i really do
why no one dares today to describe hamas 
as availing itself these horrifying weeks 
of a million or more human shields
caring little 
for their integrity 
and zero appreciation 
for their sovereignty 
as blood and flesh in fragility ... 

and so yes ... it's true too
that these are the things 
i have seen every day from birth 
and all i have ever received in exchange 
is to be treated by an extended family 
and their friends and work partners 
as a piece of facile inconvenience 
to be disposed of like human kleenex 
regularly

wherever i attempt to go that is 
and be the human i needed to be that is 

and so that's why now 
i conclude he was right my man of 61
when he determined there was one place he could go
where none of them could follow him ever
and just one place to be safe 
and one place to find peace
and one place where the good people
no longer had to pretend 
they couldn't see what the violent ones did to me ...

this i why i consider therefore 
the number 61 to be so beautiful:
clearly NOT because of karen williams's birth 
nor for the horrors she has visited 
on so many men over the years 
just as my own pain 
was never allowed to subside 
by her buddies 
and confidantes

(people exactly like 
my brother tugomir too 
having been her lover 
before and after my own idiocies)
nor die down humanly 
and reach some degree 
of resolution and proper forgetting ...
so NOT because the day she arrived 
the world would become a better place

because it clearly didn't  
no it didn't 

and then again 
neither because 
where turned upside down
it's the year 91 of her daughter's birth too
being that claire brett 
of such violent cruelties and instincts 
and so obsessively ridden
(via her techie mates 
mark kelly & co) ...

so neither for mother and daughter 
nor for daughter and mother 

but simply because 
i'm also 61 too this year do you hear 
and this time of life confers many truths it does
and it's time to do and NOT write any more 
as i realise the wisdoms of the ages 
cannot be denied:
for the world is a wonderful place 
despite what it is
and not because ...

“there’s a mourning … which isn’t”: a poem for #prideweek by mil

in death life does sometimes emerge
and when people you loved
hate you back
and hurt you in fact
over years and years
and all you heard was
your week
of weaknesses unbound
and unleashed
like the tease of the cruellest universe
and the poetry of decaying stanza
then nothing seems as sound
as a knife to the throat of the words
you wish someone heard in time
all those rhymes ago

but in truth
personal revelation of this sort
comes from the expectations
you cede to the past
and once you can do this
and once you learn how to do this
and once you yearn to do this
nothing can stop you ever again
because nothing is able to hurt your soul
and because no part of you plays a bigger role
in the human you are becoming:
the transformations are complete
and the neatest of neat
meets up with your generation

you were neither good nor bad
just madly had
as they coveted your thoughts
as the mad frequently do
and as men of alpha range
plainly play like tigers with helpless woman
of beautiful nature:
because although i am ugly as hell on the outside
inside my brain and thoughts
and my ought and my would
and maybe my could too
are the marilyns of undesirable monetisation
and so all these alpha idiots have been able to do
all my goddamn life

is covet these gorgeous wisdoms of mine
(which should have been thine
so long ago)
in order to stop the world knowing them too
because when a wisdom wails silently
anyone however resistant to evil
is easily bedevilled
by the need to screw you royally
as they toy awfully with the plain truth:
they are utterly wrong in their manly hatreds
and we in our kindly compassion
know the passions of our side of the fence
and just where the rest of humanity
needs to be
with you at my side my dear my dear my dear …

because in death life does sometimes emerge
and when people you loved
love you back
and like you in fact
over years and years
and all you heard was
your week
of strengths unbound
and unleashed
like the reasons of the most gentle universe
and the poetry of inspiring stanza
then nothing seems as sound
as a wife to the throat of the words
you now know someone heard in time
all these rhymes you PROCLAIM today

out of the deepest love
for people who are
and people who’ve been
and people who’ve seen what you have seen
and then again
and once more said
the people who grin and smile and laugh and make it out loud a thing of a fab head:
so proud and true
of their emotions and their course
and their beautiful beautiful thinking
and their utter utter lack of unwrought haughtinesses
but instead just the happiness joyfully experienced
of human beings everywhere IN LOVE

me, at a very young age; my father out of focus, in the foreground …

definition, design philosophy, rationale

Two directions

If total surveillance and omnisciently intrusive CCTV serve only to inhibit us and not Putin et al, the new swords we must begin to develop must have radically new philosophies, much more than just beefier technologies.
On why we need radically new secrecy-positive architectures | Mil Williams, 24th August 2023, Manchester UK

I think I’m being offered two directions to move forwards definitively on my projects. And I think in my mind it’s clarifying my view on what to do next, where, and how.

I think the two directions can both happen, too.

But for many reasons, only one can happen here in the UK, in Ireland and most other places we consider.

If my thinking isn’t mistaken, the security version must only happen in Sweden and countries which share the philosophy that is embedded firmly in a wider Scandinavian way of foregrounding the citizen and their rights when constructing and rebuilding democracies.

So.

What I think is being suggested:

IVP1

1. My #neurodiverse #complexproblem-solutioning proposals may sit in many and perhaps all cultures eventually. If you like, the B2C product and service, where the “C” of B2C equals “Culture”, and which the Swedish intuition corporation I am proposing we build as per The Guardian newspaper group’s Scott Trust would deliver, mostly, indirectly.

Here, in the wider field of using arts-based thinking for solving real-world problems, therefore, practically anything and anyone gets a hearing:

• complexify.me

• complexifylab.com

Meantime, the Swedish corporation I would like us to create would not, as alluded to, be involved directly in even a tenth of all the activities that might arise through this Intuition Validation Project 1 (IVP1), alongside its set of related workstreams.

• www.sverige2.earth/unified

We would only need to license the rights for using the core technologies and philosophies I’ve been thought-leading since 2016. That’s as far as we would go. No need, for example, to shape how any of this was to be implemented. No longer would there exist roadblocks on any side to arise.

It would, therefore, even be possible to make these platforms and architectures available from the starting-blocks for countries with whose security policies I, and a wider Swedish society quite separately and much before me, fundamentally find ourselves disagreeing on: for example, oppressive manifestations of total surveillance & CCTV, and the complete removal of public access to encryption and so forth, even in banking applications, being the approach the UK has been advocating and wishing to put into practice for decades.

Equally, the Swedish and similar, where total surveillance is employed, use it to enable the citizenry and make them feel safer and more empowered: never to make them sense, as we do get to suspect in the UK, that they are permanently being inspected and tracked in order to bulldoze voters and similar into good behaviours out of tools, primarily, aimed at inducing fear.

Seen in Vällingby tunnelbana station, Stockholm Sweden, 2023

And that’s a philosophical difference of import: in the UK, we trust that people will be bad: that is, secular Original Sin. In other countries, we trust that enabling the help of the citizenry is paramount; we trust that what we might call “good trust” needs to be promoted strategically. Here, then, it’s not enough to be secure at all; we need to be safe, too. We shouldn’t have to be looking over our shoulders all the time. And our policies should reflect this.

One Swedish example to underline: street CCTV on private and state buildings must look down only on the entrance itself to the building being surveilled. No dragnet across all passers-by.

So. If we think like this — IVP1 I mean — there’s no need to negotiate these matters any more, before we may begin, because IVP1 will be in the hands of creators of different kinds, even where what they create may deliver tangible and utilitarian real-world solutions.

And then again, just the one condition too: periodic licence fees, but ourselves, as an intuition-validation corporation, being utterly hands-off.

IVP2

2. Security — the project we might now call IVP2 — is a quite different matter, however.

My Criminal Justice Master dissertation (linked to here), from 2017, on the subject of secular Original Sin*, laid it out really clearly: in an ever more complex world there will be no edge obtained by law enforcement and security if we ensure citizens feel as pursued as the real criminals. The only way we can be collectively more than the bad guys and gals is if we get citizens deeply onside: enabling them to act out their proactive roles as joint defenders of the law. It’s not enough that they just nod their acquiescence to what we claim to be doing when faced by the horrors of modern criminality.

Until countries like the UK accept that our total surveillance-friendly software architectures (admins who see all; users who see nothing but even so are aware, all too aware, how they are being permanently surveilled) have fatally inhibited — impaled, even — our own capacity to think creatively in security, crimefighting and law-enforcement contexts, we cannot develop my ideas in respect of security where such acceptance is not forthcoming.

• www.secrecy.plus/fire

Because criminals like the Putins of this world do continue to enjoy their own deepest secrecy-positive spaces whilst they longitudinally plan our destruction, despite our own ongoing total surveillance strategies:

• www.secrecy.plus/why

You get now, I hope, then, where my objections really lie; where they are firmly seated? If total surveillance and omnisciently intrusive CCTV serve only to inhibit us and not Putin et al, the new swords we must begin to develop must have radically new philosophies, much more than just beefier technologies.

Security for me, therefore, sits where the right philosophies existed prior to my own arrival. And my travails when writing the dissertation in question back in 2017, clearly caused me by British security, indicate, even post-Ukraine, that for quite a while they will not be enabled here in the UK.

To summarise:

IVP1 — just about everywhere

IVP2 — the kind of places and states where new swords may come into being from a prior and existent embedded instinct and impulse to openness and invention in the fields of tech philosophy and architectures

Yeah?

definition, design philosophy, rationale

and what if i am right in respect of #neoterrorismontheindividual (#noi)? and what if people like me are simply canaries in the mine?

and maybe the real problem here is that it’s not my sensitivity that makes me personally dysfunctional but your insensitivity that enables putin, society-wide, over and over again, to leave babies in their cots, bleeding red and dead as they slept.
mil williams, 14th august 2023, stockholm sweden

• neo-terrorism on the individual: how to undermine society without society ever realising it’s been happening | #darkfigure #neocrime | slide-deck version here

our problem

your problem is as follows.

if i am right re #noi, it’s been undermining all our societies for decades:

our = western, as well as locally here

and where i am right, the owners of #neoterrorismontheindividual and its processes and tools collect data on everyone, without exception. however, their owners and users choose when to use this data: they pick their moments and actual targets really judiciously.

mostly, it only gets visibly used against those who notice: what happened to me in 2003 in the uk.

but imagine if everyone began to notice: what then?

then, all the data these bad actors have collected on you over the years — keeping their powder utterly dry, if you like, in expectation of inevitable future need — would allow them to rapidly up their game overnight: because then, for them, the threat level would actually begin to exist. to date, it’s been all one-sided: theirs.

so what then?

#noi would become a visible act of repression, not an invisible one. it wouldn’t be #neocrime any more. what before sociology and criminology called #darkfigure:

• crimehunch.com/neocrime

and maybe #ukraine is not a sign of putin’s strengths in longitudinal gaslighting, though it might be easy to come to this conclusion.

maybe it’s a sign of his ultimate desperation. for his version of #noi, even factoring in pandemic, banking scandals, and three wars of his making in the last fifteen years, haven’t led quite enough to the total dislocation of western economies he sorely — and i’m sure dearly — expected would be delivered after all these years of having being a kgb acolyte of the worst, turned thug in fancy suits of the most horrible and politically immobilising kind.

because #ukraine has never just been about territory. that is, not physical. equally, and maybe much more, it’s been about distracting and dismantling western unity and sense of time & place: all good people’s mental territories and landscapes.

in the end, putin and his ilk are not even spymasters: they’re chessmasters in the most terrifying traditions. it’s chess they’re playing, not politics. total surrender, but sometimes — right to the end — with you not even thinking it’s going to be your fate. like the jews in the ghettos: worse than this, it surely can’t get.

in conclusion?

i can live with being ignored. i can live with being gaslit daily, in the trivial and incompetent ways they do. i can live with the #ukraines we have awaiting us. i suffered the #balkan one. i survived that, even at the cost of being improperly incarcerated as a result of the another democratic dismantling in 2003: the terrifying lead-up to #iraq which led to my own provoked mental dysfunctionality.

and we can’t forget 9/11: we never must.

and we can’t forget #pandemic either, though we already are: how the mercilessly rich knew it was coming and prepared their supply lines to benefit.

but let’s just imagine that for every hyper-sensitive person you assume people like me are, what you’re really witnessing are canaries in the mine: and meantime, as you laugh at us, and those who cause pandemic graft, invasions like #ukraine, disasters like #iraq, tragedies like 9/11 … and #brexit, and #trump, and all that stuff … well, maybe we’re not sensitive to irrelevance; maybe, instead, you’re insensitive to the embedded criminality that starts with the smallest of communities, the tiniest of acts, the symbolic gaslighting of the idiot on the metro … and maybe the real problem here is that it’s not my sensitivity that makes me personally dysfunctional but your insensitivity that enables putin, society-wide, over and over again, to leave babies in their cots, bleeding red and dead as they slept.

“Building the FEARless CITIZEN” #NoFutureUkraines

aside

why #neurodiversity doesn’t deserve its corner

‘truth is, if i accepted a label different from 2003, offered in good faith and so forth, then when i found something disturbing me in a public space, people would say, “hey we understand … you have a right to be disturbed …”

but since i think i’m just one more person with a right to have a zone of comfort within which i can feel consistently safe, i am accused of all manner of intolerances.

it’s not fair that society demands we have a label in order that we might be treated with equanimity. we should treat everyone with kindness, compassion and the awareness a wisely considered humanity offers our souls — whether we judge that person to be in particular need of support or not.

not only, that is, because they have an official neon sign that indicates they are human beings of the best (which they are, by the by: yes they are).

i really am not arguing against the concept of #neurodiversity. rather, i’m arguing against the fact it must exist in a corner in opposition to that which is frankly not human.

no one is #neurotypical. as laing & esterson said, when they pronounced in “sanity, madness and the family” that they didn’t even recognise the right of schizophrenia to be present in human thought as a concept never mind a reality, so i refuse to accept that #neurotypical can possibly be a cogently functioning reality of the #humancondition.

we are all #neurodiverse or none of us are. ergo, if some of us clearly are, all of us obviously must be.

why is this important? like a #mentalillness located primarily in the individual as opposed to a #mentaldistress emerging from a toxic environment, the solutions needed are different. with the former we focus on the person as cause of the dysfunction and the solutions are pharmaceutical. effectively, we blame the victim.

for me, you see, it’s the latter which is the principle cause of most #mentalillhealth these days. it’s not the individual we must fix: it’s the places and spaces, both physical and socioeconomic, both sociopolitical and criminological, both cultural and business-related, whose own profound dysfunctions have to be addressed.

an example: #rape is properly prevented by ensuring it’s the culpable men and other actors in truly bad faith we direct our attention robustly and unswervingly at, never the victim we inhibit through disbelief and victim-shaming.

equally, then, we don’t efficiently address #neurodiversity in the long-term by saying it is the challenge.

because #neurodiversity doesn’t need its space. it’s unthinking, unhelpful, dogmatic belief systems such as the idea of being #neurotypical — and that any human of minimal compassion can ever consider it proper and accurate to use the term “normal” about anyone — which need removing.

why? the dogma of normal, as sketched out briefly today, invokes its counterpoint: the process of abusive #othering that is being called “abnormal”.

and this is the high ground none of us humans must cede ever again.

definition, design philosophy, rationale

It CAN’T get any easier: just use the past to protect our collective future-present …

I’ve been asked to simplify the dynamics.

So here I do …

Example workstreams and projects which may begin to form part of any work we collectively deliver

The first step to working on the projects under discussion

There is one condition we must all fulfil in order to work on these projects and workstreams in the future:

be aware — and practise daily this awareness — of #neoterrorismontheindividual. This means we realise completely and unreservedly that all our past and current decision-making processes and outcomes may have been the result of an embedded criminality and related zemiology, designed strategically to undermine — profoundly and covertly — our true capacity to act independently

“Neo-Terrorism on the Individual” — an overview … but now as defence tool, no longer research proposal

The two linked-to documents in the section that follows below, which originally formed part of a #phd-level draft proposal of mine from a couple of years back, may now be more helpful as descriptors of what I, and maybe many other people, have been experiencing over these years.

It’s more popularly and more generally known as #gaslighting: but I think in certain societies we’ve been suffering from an immensely technified version of it.

This is why I have given it its own name: “Neo-Terrorism on the Individual”.

That is, a tech-driven longitudinal terrorism delivered efficiently on specific human and organisational targets and marks, in order to shape societies over the years in the direction of certain toxic sociopolitical and business interests.

In this sense then, the two documents mentioned should perhaps be seen more as forming a manual of instructions than a research idea any more, in order to begin to foment and ensure a growing awareness of the tech-driven tactics which certain criminal and zemiological actors may still be using — and broadly at that:

Neo-Terrorism on the Individual — the text version of the proposal, in pdf format
Neo-Terrorism on the Individual — the slide-deck of the proposal, in pdf format

Noted: the above is as true of organisations and nation-states in terms of their collective natures and interests as it is in respect of individuals like you and me, being persons with allegedly direct responsibility for our behaviours and actions.

If we achieve this goal, what should we do next?

If we get sign-up and buy-in, to what effectively is a CULTURE of working re all the #privacysensitive, #privacypositive, #secrecysensitive and #secrecypositive projects and workstreams I am proposing, then the organisational and agency law- and regulation-making which has to exist specifically for such projects and our own personal behaviours will be much to administer, inspect, ensure, and deliver on.

Why? Because CULTURE promotes the rule of laws which emerge from the same organically, and therefore make it much easier and possible for people to see them as their own: thus, compliance is achieved out of approval not fear.

Meantime, LAWS ONLY, created by ruling classes (whether elected or de facto) which attempt to IMPOSE what is surely only their culture, clearly outside the majority (the UK is an example ever since I was born; Ireland has become so over the years as a result of its incestuous financial dependence on global tech), only lead to the corruption and illegitimacy that facilitate authoritarianism behaviours and outcomes, where the same need for compliance — for society by definition needs its citizens to comply in some measure — here is achieved primarily, and sometimes exclusively, through tools and discourses of fear.

Just because you smile when you impose your authoritarianism doesn’t make you any less an authoritarian.

Now … does it?

To summarise …

“For anyone, including myself, to be enabled to work on any and/or all of these projects — which for the moment I shall globally describe as the #gutenbergofintuitivethinking, or the printing-press of intuition — we have to accept that our human agency during our personal present-past, in respect of the decisions we took both privately and work-related, may have been fatally compromised by forces truly outwith our ken.

Not mystical or mysterious forces. No. Not this. Just human beings and organisations acting deliberately to longitudinally benefit, in planned and roadmapped ways, their hyper-focussed and zemiological self-interests, prejudicing a much more shared and collective present-past which could have been. And in fact still could be: one, that is, which benefits every human being, and which will be firmly based on all individuals’ sovereignties.”

So … quite simple, really. Accept the thesis of #neoterrorismontheindividual as a potential reality we have suffered from without perhaps realising it in all aspects of our lives to date. Nothing we did, however apparently deeply thought, was of our own doing.

And so our human agency became anything but human.

Wouldn’t it be a quite remarkable achievement if we could, as a first step to remaking our civilisation in the image of the root word “to civilise”, eliminate compassionately not surgically all such #neoterrorismontheindividual in, say, seven years?

And parallel to all that, begin to deliver all this:

definition, design philosophy, rationale

some developed thoughts on CORE

as if we were talking, in fact, about creating software code in the shape of UN inalienable rights and charters, conventions and manifestos, and stuff with these kinds of discourses, as opposed to the more conventional laws and regulatory approaches parliaments and so forth generally prefer to come up with
mil williams, 7th august 2023, stockholm sweden

from my iphone’s app this late morning / around midday:

introduction

yes

this is what we can embrace, if we choose to:

• one nation-state fully onboard

• one big tech partner, fully committed

• one local and regional web of finance, legislation, tax, accountability, delivery, and societal benefit: sweden

then once this is secured, we can discuss exporting

but not before

in respect of past deeds

not interested in the past in respect of those of us who deserve to be in CORE

am interested in collective future-present and deep partners who want a different future-present from the ones we’ve all been a part of in the past

this i repeat is also true for me, just as much as for anyone else or for any other org

good

on trust systems and their development

this means … we have to learn to trust each other, but always suspect everyone and everything

be childlike to the most if you like; but equally, not naive in the least

game-changing trust is built over time with tools no one has ever considered

this is why we need the brightest nonconformist brains committed to changing the world for the better: both gradually and overnight

that is, parallel processes

the value of cultural dissonance and internal respect amongst all parties

yes

true

everything is best when combined

not one or the other team

everything

cultural dissonance and cultural rub are the preconditions for both innovation and invention

but the condition being that different types of seeing and doing also learn to value the others interchangeably and equally

generously

truly generously

so as long as with this caveat upfront and conditioning everything we all do, we will also need conformists at the base of everything we do

my work / life expectations and aspirations

personally, i want to live modestly

i want to think untrammelled, obviously

so this is why i need the modest life to ensure the untrammelled doesn’t leak into my behaviours

a modest life, therefore

decent food

healthy exercise

and a dollop of joy every so often

the fields of action and play

the battlegrounds are various:

• resistance: putin’s russia and everyone who approves of its actions

• fightback: putin’s russia and everyone who approves of its actions

• long-term, however, the focus MUST be local and regional: embedded global criminals at local and regional levels who use symbolic communication as per mafias everywhere, to evade justice as it currently stands, need to be dealt with

why? these are the real funding streams that enable putin and his ilk everywhere to not only have the cruel ambitions they have but the capability, the financial muscle, to deliver on them: local crime turfs spread out across the continents and connected via 21st century digital means

implications

thus:

in my judgement, law enforcement and trusted private security need both to be involved at the start, at least with the 100-day rapid app development programmes that use existing architectures

but they have so much knowhow, the aforementioned security and citizen-safety orgs and their people i mean, that they deserve to be in deep, also from the beginning, re the scoping of new architectures and ways of structuring tech

but i am always open to other opinions and views

always will be, now

now we begin to propose having these foundations

my emotional life

i’d like an emotional life, yes

someone with a view of life i can engage with and which allows her to engage with my work and play, both

and me with hers in equal, and absolutely peer-to-peer, measure

and it’s obviously part of the whole, but firm foundations to the project as we are discussing today will help me be much much more patient and much much less needy now

so all good

it’s ok

with the two pillars we need to fight neo-terrorism on the individual (noi), trust will grow very quickly

https://mils.page/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/neoterrorism_on_the_individual_and_western_democracy_1626703915.pdf

ok

re spain

spain sits curiously: i separate what i feel about the country easily from what i feel about the personal, which obviously has existed from the start

so it’s ok in this respect

i could travel to and from and work with people from there, despite the fact that i also had really dreadful experiences with businesspeople there once upon a time

and i don’t know why now ok. maybe there is a reason. maybe just time

maybe just the time that has elapsed

why sweden

for me, in my opinion, humbly expressed, sweden is objectively better as a collective built on individual rights than any other country i have ever known or lived in

whatever it is, the most important thing for me here in sweden is that i see people who strive to be good people every day. and even people with the power to effect change (eg in the uk there are also plenty of good people: none of them are powerful)

not all people here do this, of course. not all do good by any means, even in my limited personal experience

impossible that it should be so

maybe, even, not desirable: it wouldn’t be allowing for the human we sometimes imperfectly have to be

but enough do good to the best of their ability for the threshold to be far gooder than i have sensed intuitively at any other time in my life

anywhere else

and not just strive and then wave their hands foolishly when it doesn’t work:

• because you don’t fucking give up until it works here in sweden

• but you don’t get silly either. you wait until this moment arrives beautifully, and only then do you pounce supportively

it’s a series of behaviours i would love one day to emulate well myself

so again, here it’s true: people laugh a lot

and this is good

but sarcasm isn’t a national trait as far as i can see

inquisitiveness defo is

a thirst to uncover and discover

it’s refreshing

it suits my own deep ways of being and seeing

and maybe now much more possible, my ways of doing

a caveat or two re funding provenance

as long as we establish funding-stream provenance professionally and competently, i’m open to support from whom you judge trustworthy

even the countries i’ve mentioned in less glowing terms

yeah

and so i guess some covert part of the uk, which isn’t and never will be mi5 or have relationships with the unis that have bad-actor funding connections … even here we could propose some kind of engagement after the groundwork i’m sketching out today was firmly put in place

the evidence of good faith would have to be overpowering, tho’. absolutely incontrovertible and irreproachable … and right now, no one in the uk is in a position to offer anyone this evidence of their ability to distinguish between political right and geopolitical wrong

who may form part of CORE

none of them as CORE, for reasons that should be obvious (and if to you who are reading these words they’re not obvious, this pretty automagically precludes you from any participation at any level for a long time: certainly, until they do become obvious to you)

not that, then: not them inside CORE

this means, therefore, that none of the alluded to, i repeat, will have any CORE influence over how and what and when and stuff re product, service, platform architectures, and so on.

none will have the ability to impose their preferred approaches whereby innovation would become mere tweaking, and invention something we never even broach. ukraine can’t be won through a mentality of tweaks, after all (and if you believe it can, that’s why you’re automagically not going to be a part of CORE)

• such parties will only be enabled to participate — if we decide they deserve it — as right-at-the-end clients, in a covert marketplace if covert is needed

• and if not needed, a public marketplace of b2b and b2gov

• but no bespoke or consultative products, services or outcomes here

what CORE will consist of

this is my proposal, as it stands today:

• one committed nation-state: that is, yourselves

• your local and regional business, commercial, tax, legislative, delivery and sociocultural infrastructures as framework in perpetuity

• finally, where this is judged advisable and collaboratively intelligent, one big tech partner who wants to redo the world, including maybe what they did in other times which they’d now begin to question … (but then again, this will clearly be the same for most of the rest of us too, as already observed)

if it has to be eventually more oppenheimer than curie, that’s ok

i understand

but curie laid the foundations for oppenheimer, after all

and if it’s more global boiling than fighting directly the kind of criminality i’ve been discussing itself, i’d still say that to ensure our researchers feel brave enough and protected enough to deliver the killer blows to the climate denial we all want them to deliver, they need to know and feel they will be permanently and efficiently protected to the max from new kinds of crime and zemiology, potentially conducted on their persons day in, day out

so even if it’s now to become more a climate change / global boiling focus, it needs to remain a crime and zemiology one robustly in parallel as well

what CORE will consider and deliver

the CORE needs to strategise the castle & moat as well as the thinking-spaces and their architectures

our secrecy-positive spaces will be needed to protect our desired climate boiling people and outcomes

this is what i propose be our strategy from now on in:

• we should focus on creating an an impregnable theoretical, philosophical, practical and technological castle around the sweden-chosen big tech partner-local & regional partnership before moving out to other areas of endeavour and action — even at the risk of not doing as much for those in need as we might

• why? because you just HAVE to know you utterly CANNOT be undermined by anyone, before you reach out a hand to others however deserving

re precedents, we can follow the manhattan project, apollo moonshot, and darpa internet templates if we like

but i think we can learn from modern silicon valley strategy too:

• a flexible PLATFORM is the best research tool in the right hands

• out of which specific applications can be delivered, just as japanese car manufacturers first did with elements of a car

• example: separate workstreams for each element (eg dashboard design & functionality) identified as key, and then slotted whenever discretely ready in terms of their own timelines into what became new versions of the cars

• therefore, manufacturing a car isn’t a new car release every five years as in the olden days, but modulating and updating regularly

the intuition validation engine, then …?

do we go back to platform genesis and the raw READ.ME of the intuition validation engine? i think we do …

• a library of tools

• as already determined, a PLATFORM in order to enable ACCESS freely, not to tie in users to one software / hardware constitution or another

• equal sovereignty for all objects, whether people, code, or machines

as if we were talking, in fact, about creating software code in the shape of UN inalienable rights and charters, conventions and manifestos, and stuff with these kinds of discourses, as opposed to the more conventional laws and regulatory approaches parliaments and so forth generally prefer to come up with

and some would say this would lead to vague

i radically disagree

i would term it as being the “precisely ambiguous”:

• that is, an arts-based approach to real-world problem-solving

• a structure, but not one which deeply determines the kinds of outcomes

• something, instead, that will remain relevant and useful for as long as we do this: JUST like UN charters

in order for it to exist like this, it just needs to be considered for longer before — finally! — finalising its directives

🙂

but we will know when it is finalised

how? because it will be our eureka moment: it will just feel gobsmackingly RIGHT!

🙂

for sure …

My new #phd online hub: an overview

Introduction

Good morning all.

I’m preparing for a #phd proposal I would like to submit:

• mils.page/phd

A previous approach

A shortened version of a different but related matter from a few years ago — my first delivery of a #phd research-level roadmap — can be found in the form of a slide-deck here:

• omiwan.com/the-humans

Other new and historical ideas

There’s plenty of other material on the historical, current and brand-new hub already. An initial objective-set dating a year or so ago now can be found in the gallery below:

“Building the FEARless CITIZEN” … to deliver #NoFutureUkraines

Meantime, here we have my most recent strategy to eliminate the scourge of legal societal harm (that is, loopholes or — more academically speaking — #zemiology): “Building the FEARless CITIZEN”, so that we ensure #NoFutureUkraines …

On a mental distress sourced in the environment

Keeping in mind that mental distress — ie a human dysfunctionality which has its roots in a sick environment, rather than a mental illness with its location inside the individual — is obviously on the rise, we need to operate on two fronts:

1. Change the environments.

2. Change ourselves.

And it’s clear, also, that both actions will serve each other: if we change the environment, our wellbeing will obviously improve. And if we change ourselves to be this FEARless I suggest, to be FEARless citizens in everything we do from now on in that is, the environment automagically changes, too.

Here’s that #phd online hub link again:

• mils.page/phd

Comments on- and off-post, as always, always welcome …

And have a really safe day!

🙂

aside, definition

“the creativity of sublimation: some reflections” — a #poem by mil williams

just so it's clearer 
in my day-to-day
i'm now 
interested only 
in affection not true love 

whilst meantime in my work 
i look for love
as well as respect:
suddenly it's the way of it 
after 

a lifetime of hatred 
in the matter
that is private
and the horror 
that is this thing 

we call 
casually 
relationship
when in fact 
it's more a luxury yacht

where money
is the 
exclusive tool
to measure 
if i am worth  

anything at all
to you
in this deep dark
chasm and
abyss that is all that

which you and i did miss ...

yet conversely and
surprisingly
in the 
fields 
and meadows 

of deep
thought 
and intuition
the growing recognition 
of those 

who know exactly 
and simply 
what i've been   
through these decades
means that curiously

love is to be found
not in springs 
of creaking bed
in early mornings 
of terrible dread

but rather 
during the daytime smile 
and sideways glance 
of colleague 
and teacher 

because whilst ALL my life 
my women
refused to recognise 
in me
any worth to be proud of 

that is ... all my life 
this happened
i insist
and persist 
in insisting ... yes i do

lately i sense 
not only 
for the obvious pecuniary gain 
but maybe
truly 

because
at LEAST 
the thinkers 
i begin to know 
out there 

see me
at LAST
as human 
and worthy 
and even a kindly man

and deserving 
at ONCE 
of being 
not trampled on
but valued 

as something 
more than a diagnosis 
of a security cruel 
and a hallucinatory 
THEM

for sure 
much much more 
than i 
have 
ever seemed  

in all my dreams 
rejected as i was
by every mouth
i wished 
to deeply kiss

and so i NEVER 
once thought 
my saving graces
would not be 
romances 

as wished for 
and desired so long
and experienced 
so badly 
and hurting so 

GODDAMN wrong 
but that instead 
my real saviours 
would be cells of grey 
and small 

that occupied kindly 
other parts of my body
because born of reality 
not the fakery 
of younger hearts 

who know mostly 
how to damage 
a peer 
as if a pier 
battered in terrible storm

because this is it 
and that was all
and there you go 
and here we know 
that human salvation 

really does not lie
in a daily bed of lace 
and stuff like that
but much much more 
in a thought and hug

and an embrace of an idea 

without letting go
for years and years 
and then tying them all up
and together
and tight 

and then loosely too
as if that kiss 
i mentioned before 
which i've never had 
all my time on this rock

to say goodnight 
and to say hello
and to say why not
and never to bellow 
but just ... to whisper

"i love you"

and so still i wonder 
if my life 
could've been other 
than one of hermitage 
and then again if it had 

whether i'd now be achieving
half as much as i might 
and as almost certainly 
i'll now 
be able to cite  

for it was not the muse 
who enabled 
my love of life
but the sublimation 
that still causes me 

so much strife ... 

and so it's 
in the absence
of daily kindness
that has been 
my existence 

since forever and all 
we see 
our capability grow 
to better view 
and see the #whirled 

fully unfurl as it ought

as it must be seen
and as it must become 
perhaps as song 
and perhaps one day
no wrong either not at all 

and then its essence 
too true it is
it was never me and you 
but the experience 
of precisely this:

NOT getting 
what you want 
but instead
getting 
exactly

what you NEED

for this is the seed
of human creativity
being the felicitous 
discovery 
of things ... we've never known

definition, rationale

Why is it so hard for good people to stay good?

It’s clear that #criminaljustice isn’t working. The fact of #putin’s #russia and its invasion of #ukraine — just one example of how malevolent experts in #loopholes are able to act in the very worst of bad faith — absolutely demonstrates that #criminaljustice manifestly can’t pursue and being to book the most serious #societalharm before it harms in the most serious ways.

Because #ukraine didn’t start the year of the invasion. It started a long time ago when the #kgb man #putin has always been firmly decided that any vestiges of #european hopes that a joint way forwards which might have been found between one side of the ex-#ironcurtain and the other needed to be longitudinally strategised out of existence forever. But also stealthily so: you don’t tell the enemy there’s a knife getting ready to be twisted deeply right in their back.

And so #ukraine was also enabled long-term by the richest centres of power on the planet: transnational corporations which had implemented the original way-back-when command & control #sovieteconomics — top-heavy and hyper-integrated economic structures — which in the age of supercomputers and their capacity to number-crunch in ways the #soviets never even dreamed possible made it possible for these companies to calendarise entire societies over periods as long as decades, never mind the crusty Lada-ridden 1984-style five-year plans.

What exactly am I getting at here?

Some of these corporations have more power than ANY country. Maybe not in the sense of the country GDP versus corporate revenue numbers themselves: but definitely in the almost authoritarian capability they have to make rapid decisions about billions of whatevers; and when I judge rapid I mean virtually from one day to the next.

And, therefore, in this sense in much more immediately impactful ways than any mere democracy will ever be able to engineer.

So this is power: and if knowing you have it you do choose to act, and you prevent #ukraines with your perspicacious even where secretive research data — even if only for bottom-line reasons, forget for the moment the rag-doll babies lying in pools of red at the end of a parent’s counterpane — it’s a massive power indeed exerted for the wider good.

But if conversely you don’t act; if you limit yourself to the role of spectator; if you trim and tack your humongous dinghy so any possibility of encroaching waves remains distant to your ship of shareholder stock … then effectively, when all those immense command & control buttons of the brightest are simply NOT being pressed, you actually are proactively enabling the #putins of the world.

Why is so hard for good people to do good? Really … why?

Well. There’s a thing, for sure.

I read a George Monbiot article in the Guardian a long while ago: it described a survey which said that most of us think most of us are bad people but, equally, most of us simultaneously see ourselves as good people.

Curious, huh?

Some weird disconnect, there.

For me it’s a question of access: the potential whistleblower needs to know their digital notes won’t be read by #badtech people (as mine almost certainly were on the metro this evening); equally, the #abusedspouse must know not only that her husband’s #mafia-behaving business colleague won’t be able to touch a friendly police office for a favour that needs to be called in, but that when it ends up in court and the husband’s word against hers, some kind of fair #tech platform for validating such assertions will also have been invented in the first place, so the pillar of the community he is won’t be able to sway the jury with his mere presence.

This is mostly why I want The Philosopher Space: so people – ALL of us, citizens and professionals, both — can recover our right to the secrecy of pencil and paper but with the 21st century advantages of digital.

That is, when we’re obliged to use digital, we aren’t forced by the system to strip ourselves naked in front of the #tech experts — as I might accurately observe, 70 percent men — who NEVER themselves have to perform the same humiliating acts of self-discovery.
