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
Tag: philosophy
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.

In a nutshell — or a chipset! — what I propose we do asap is move radically away from the more recent division of power and hierarchies between admins versus users that has shaped #ai and #it ever since the arrival of the Internet, towards the suggested conflation of admin and user in one.
Mil Williams, 3rd July 2023, Stockholm Sweden
Proposal
Would anyone in #scandinavia, more specifically I’d be bound to say #sweden, like to begin work on designing and implementing, from scratch, a totally repurposed set of #ai- and #it-related architectures and frameworks in order to create absolutely future-proof ethical and privacy-positive #ai and #it frameworks?
That is: do for #ai what I have already suggested via the concept of a digital equivalent of the #privacypositive and #secrecypositive attributes pencil and paper have for centuries conferred on us:
• https://www.secrecy.plus/spt-it
The original “intuition validation engine” README on GitHub
In this case, in respect of #ai- and #it-#tech, I would suggest using a starting-point I already clearly described with the original 2019 specification of the #intuitionvalidationengine (i’ve) (currently on my GitHub account in private mode, and reproduced in full below):
intuition-validation-engine
The goal of this engine is to permit both human and machine intuition to be validated.
This will be done constantly, but not intrusively. People and machines will have a choice, always.
It is assumed that for the purposes of this project both parties will be encouraged to upskill the other in mutual dialogue and equal partnership.
It is also assumed, a priori, that the keywords for the processes involved will be:
1. A procedure of CAPTURE, controlled by humans on the one hand and machines on the other, where neither will be obliged to share ideas, content and personal data that they do not feel safe sharing.
2. A procedure of EVIDENCING, where the captured data can be stored, retrieved, shaped and patterned, and used for supportive purposes that expand the lives and experiences of the beings concerned.
3. A procedure of VALIDATION, where it becomes clear to everyone participating: a) why a human being might believe and act in a certain way; and equally so, b) why the machines that prefer to work within the framework of this project will arrive at their own particular positions and conclusions.
Finally, it is hugely important that everyone who chooses to work on the project might easily understand that it is not a traditional software paradigm: let us assume, instead, that people, code, machines and all other objects participating will form part of a new space we might call “i’ve”.
That is to say, there will be no distinction or hierarchy in this space between the individuality of the objects in question, with respect to their entity as sovereign actors. In this sense, all will enjoy becoming part of a multiple-perspective environment, and all will help to support and contribute to a wider and transcendental knowledge that both befits and benefits others.”
So.
Alongside the clearly developed initial architectural philosophy stated above, i would then have us move on to working with the #platformgenesis progression of the original concept as it existed since 2019:
• https://platformgenesis.com | see also the attached slides
Then, with further collaborative actions, especially in the light of other technologies developed since, we could begin to properly propose an absolutely future-proofed #ai and #it-#tech which, as per their real-world template of pencil and paper, could never NOT become privacy- and ethically-sensitive, whatever the regulatory demands created in the future by any global or regional body.
This would be my objective from two directions: legal and technological; abandoning neither for the other. And making both future #ai and #it-#tech as firmly #ethical and #privacypositive by design as to make regulatory innovations that might challenge it impossible to design.
To summarise
In a nutshell — or a chipset! — what I propose we do asap is move radically away from the more recent division of power and hierarchies between admins versus users that has shaped #ai and #it ever since the arrival of the Internet, towards the suggested conflation of admin and user in one.
The division described has, in my judgement, severely — and increasingly — affected the citizens and workforces who strive to function and live creatively, despite the challenges, in Western corporates and wider societies when needing to think freely. These needs arise in many — if not all — fields of endeavour too, and in most during mission-critical moments and when decisions have to be taken using an unpickable #highleveldomainexpertise (something we sometimes are also happy to call #gutfeeling) which becomes the only thing we may be able to reliably depend on.
The real existential challenge for our democracies and business discourses and praxis then arises when we fail to think as freely as others who, with a clear and ongoing possession and enjoyment of #privacysensitive and #secrecysensitive architectures and technologies, maintain their capacity to beat us hands-down, at least on the #intuition side of societal and business activities:
• https://crimehunch.com/terror | concentrate here on considering which team would be best at a new “what and how” (I’m happy, meanwhile, to recognise that pattern-recognition capabilities in machines will inevitably process vast amounts of data better when focussing on more concrete questions of “who and when”)

Finally …
If you want to find out more about my latest ideas, why not go to the #sweden located and focussed online whitepaper I’ve been using to further my thought around complementary strands of complex thinking?
my ex- has two indian friends she used to teach spanish to. they lived close to where we did: a married couple.
we were invited to theirs on occasions, and would go over enthusiastically of course, for a full evening repast with other guests we might or might not have met before. they were immensely gracious guests, were her indian friends.
one time, we were introduced to what turned out to be a techie guy: an executive type, though.
yes … not a software engineer or anything like this.
i was clear i’d been invited by apple via the brother of the bebo founder, at a meetup in the wellcome foundation cafe some years before in london, to come onboard.
this time, the techie guy basically spun the story that all tech corps controlled the next ten years of tech … all tech corps. this wasn’t an apple thing, let’s be clear. this was all of them, including apple. (he did assert he knew the apple case from inside.)
so. big tech would rarely launch useful stuff, just for the good of the world. it would do so when a series of conditions were met.
for example:
• what — for them — was all-too-existent tech, but invisible and, indeed, unknown to the outside world, wouldn’t end up being revealed to anyone unless there was a sound bottom-line reason. they wouldn’t even float the concept publicly (that is, telling the idea but not saying they had developed it …)
• neither did they ever seem keen to express the desire, or be driven by the need, to apply such apparently non-existent tech imaginatively for the whole species’ benefit, before, that is, its time arrived as per their aforementioned ten-year calendarisations of the related monetisation opportunities and timelines
remember google glass?
research the year it appeared: go on.
dr steve mann invented it and used his own from 1984, if my memory serves me right:
google then had to finally retire its own consumer version from sale because of “invasion of privacy” concerns from the wider market (and perhaps, also, the wider mass media): and this, even when the version sold had an unnecessarily large and obviously clumpy camera.
do you think they weren’t using it far more covertly way before they launched a consumer version?
do you think they stopped using their own privately covert version after the consumer version was boxed off and deactivated?
of course they used it way before, covertly and more, on everyone.
of course they wouldn’t stop using such a powerful surveillance — and counter-surveillance — tool.
like exxon in the 1970s hiding the research that predicted THEN to the tenth of a degree the global warming (not climate change, ffs) NOW incurred due directly to their fossil fuels:
well. big tech behaves in exactly the same way. it has massive solutions: it had them decades ago. its bottom-line doesn’t need them now, though.
and it certainly DOESN’T want to democratise genius, as i have argued increasingly our species needs us to aim at doing, if we want to survive the cataclysmic climate and other challenges encroaching more and more our daily experiences of life:
https://platformgenesis.com | see the slides at the top of this article for more detail of #platformgenesis
so what do we do? if big tech refuses to change its ways 180 degrees — and it will refuse, i assure you — what do we do?
we do it ourselves!
we do it for the military and security, but also for a citizen force which uses sousveillance not to control the state but work with it.
we create relevant software constitutions to achieve it. we use the genius resident deep down in every human being to deliver unpredictable thought, predictably.
and ultimately, we will eliminate ALL loopholes.
and we will eliminate a wider zemiology from every community.
and we will cut back the dried-out deadwood of our societies’ most creatively criminal poachers.
we will make the woods of every community — whether professional or geographical — good again: all of them.
that is, make the timbers of a civilised society no longer anything to be shivered about by anyone.
look:
in sweden you already invented a cctv which is useful but, at the same time, doesn’t need to store the images to deliver law-enforcement support.
it’s this kind of shameless thinking — shamelessly free! — that i hanker after, and now really really do need.
this is why from here: from sweden. exactly this.
yes …
and i appreciate, too, that everyone needs to participate.
but i am angry at big tech for giving up on the species.
and i know how capable it is of getting into projects in order to mess around with them for defensive reasons and purposes: to protect above all the interests of its blessed bottom-line over the interests of, for example, war-torn victims.
the fortnite founder event in salford i attended some years ago proved this, when i was informed by an attendee that basically my idea of #hmagi had been bought up and closed down from another bright mind years before:
https://www.secrecy.plus/hmagi
so hear this please, and believe me: i speak from evidence not prejudice.
i see things and then make connections of a precise and painful nature which few others — very few — either care to, or can’t, see.
and i am here to change the world, so it becomes the world we ALL deserve — even the bad guys as they stand: because, after all, maybe i am wrong.
maybe i am.
maybe, after all, we may all be redeemable …
you might meet out of blue skies
of firm and gorgeous splendour
a man like eric
and count yourself lucky
to have lived long enough to know
that ruing a life lost
ain't gonna go nowhere fast
because the ways of seeing
of eric's perspicacity and thinking
like quicksilver of mercurial planet
lead to you realise
that even berger may find his match
and you could know when amanda
that on engaging with a mind and head
of fabulous furniture
you'd see the #whirled is something
quite clearly true and beautiful:
not only to be pleasured
but honestly treasured
as the repository of wisdoms
learnt and innate both it's a fact
and where the human factor
cracks the #streetcryptography
of the humans that do cruelty
as some of us do humanity:
really naturally
and as casually as a kiss
blessed of deep wish
and desires unfolding gradually
which is actually what i sensed
as two people seemed to want
to get close to me
in ways i had forgotten years ago
involving true aspirations
to human relations
where only good might ultimately result
and so hurtling through my universe
i begin to taste flavours
which i had neglected to savour for ages
and recall and roll around my mouth
as if the tongue of intellect
mutates all of a sudden
into one of true love
for there is a #whirled out there
and maybe even for me
where the cruelties
of #startup's diabolical unicorn
might be replaced with female zebra clean
"and why not?" she might ask
as amanda often does these days
but not to leave the question
sitting balefully
at the top of the baldnesses
that constitute money's
overwhelmingly male predilections
instead my friends it's this:
amongst us three people metamorphosing
and perhaps this being a reality
into friends who could treasure each other
into a differently deep infinity
an eric of shameless diversity
and crackling thought
when anything but ought
and an amanda of sudden insight
almost shamefully brought to light
in the creeping sense of:
"what right did i have ever
to ever have that idea ... ever?"
but then she recapitulates as she now should
because growth is the order of the day
and she's learning quickly
that the world needs to hear
what she has to say for sure
oh lordy yes
and absolutely without interference
and just the raw of her reality
as eric then chimes in
with impossible opinion
which nevertheless never fails
to fit the facts they are ...
and then there's me my friends
for this is my hope
let this not be a dream at all at all again
and even if it must be and even if it is
even so let us awake to each other
tomorrow let's say in the morning
a "god morgon" even too
and over coffee begin to show the rest
how we might really right
this torn and awfully leaking vessel
which will be the #whirled we want to remake
i have been racking my brains: what’s so different here in stockholm? why does the concrete feel so human? why do the humans feel so different? why is there such a sense of purpose — even when the purpose is not to be all that purposeful?
what does make it happen, after all? something tangible, i ask myself. something i can point to and show you how.
and so i realise, just now, two things which become quite clear for me. one i experienced one summer, decades ago in the northern spanish city of burgos: a continental climate and hot even 800 metres up. at least during the day. so everyone left the city in summer: to climes where you didn’t survive the weather but could thrive instead. the seaside, maybe. yep. there for example.
but i had to stay behind for work that july. and suddenly i had this sense of being at one with my environment. what was it? what was different? what had changed?
it was easy once i tumbled to it: everyone had taken their cars with them. not just that they weren’t there to drive them around: the cars themselves weren’t there to intervene in the visual landscape, and distract and divert and impact on your psyche, even when only subliminally; and then again, even hurt some of us because of a still undiscussed neurodiversity … and all as a result of their deliberately engineered capacity to attract our attention inescapably with covert ingenuity.
here, today, then, in central stockholm, there are two things which tangibly make me feel at home. the first is an absence; the second being a presence.
the absence, first:
- no cars. very few anyways. no need for cars. just people using their legs. do you remember legs? remember what that was about? no. not the clutch and the accelerator. the pavement and the kerb and walking the line … and the dance.
the presence, second:
- so many young people and children and elderly and other. and a young man with a boom-box, and then the coffee-drinkers on the terrace across the road smiling in recognition of their own youth, perhaps; and smiling, all the same.
- and then bikes galore and bio-diesel buses, and trams and stuff, and within five minutes walk an underground and a commuter-train network.
so: this is purposeful living which liberates not suffocates. and don’t believe the anglo-saxon right-wing when they say sweden equals “smotherland”. what they say when they do … it’s utter bollocks.
more than any country i’ve been to, this is an intellectually, emotionally and socioeconomically free society. even today. even after everything we’ve all been through. even after what they think they have lost to a better past.
imperfections? for sure.
on the scale of other countries flaws and injustices? no way, josé.
just one example from the uk to illustrate. many years ago, foodbanks arrived to ameliorate real pain. a conservative minister even praised the fact: community coming together. she (i think she was a she but she only voiced what all her party, mainly men, also preferred to assert) … well … she could’ve said how terrible that they were needed in the first place. but she didn’t.
last year in the uk of johnson & co, it was warm-banks for those who couldn’t afford both food and central-heating.
and so this year, gordon brown, the ex-british prime minister, informs us of hygiene-banks: for those in the uk who already share toothbrushes, can’t buy toothpaste, and who find that sanitary products for women just ain’t something they can contemplate:
so DON’T tell me “smotherland” EVER again, when you discuss the fact of sweden and its ways of seeing and doing stuff. because if you do, if you dare to, you just really have no idea what you’re saying … no idea whatsoever.
and that’s a tangible fact for sure.
as tangible as the weekly death tolls that add up year after year, at the hands of the gun-holders who terrorise good american citizens in the name of spurious constitutional rights.
I wrote the below a few days ago then pulled it from the web.
But it’s what I feel, so now it’s what I repost on perhaps a better place: my own personal and lifework blog.
C … this is for you, obviously.
I’d like you to run everything day-to-day and operational I do in a collective future-present that clearly now approaches.
I’d like you to be COO.
I’d like you to use your immense experience and absolutely native intelligence not just to turn my ideas into reality but also to turn your ideas into reality. What we think is cool may therefore sometimes conflict.
So as far as where and how and why and what, even before we get to start, I’ll argue my preferences whenever I feel the need to … but as long as I sense the hearing you give me is fair, I’ll revert to your final decision always: and yes, with enthusiasm. Because that final decision has to belong more to you than me.
This for sure.
Please accept I’m serious now. Serious about what this means for me and demands of me.
Really. Really.
Yes.
Mil Williams, a few days ago …
But actually it’s not what I feel completely because it just talks about work. Maybe its absences say their piece, too; but only if you know our story well enough will they mean enough to mean anything this minute.
Really what do I most wish for?
Really, I’d just like us to start chatting again; just chatting and following lines of thought. I do love you deeply: so much so that it will only show itself from now on exactly as you prefer it to show.
That’s what deep love actually means: for the other on the other’s terms. And not for oneself, except insofar as the pleasure and joy of another becomes the joy and pleasure of oneself.
Not sacrificial, though; understand me this. My own family’s sense of sacrificial love’s value almost destroyed me.
So: not that.
But affectionate and warm, yes; forgiving and kindly; intelligent and forever … things like these. These things I feel profoundly about you, when it is you I am thinking of. Which — would you believe! — has never not been right now.
Not since that day, anyways. Not since that bridge.
“for you, obviously”
Mil Williams, today
eternally grateful
unending affection
permanent respect
infinite joy
a heart of good
a soul of gold
a mind of the best
which a man like me
was ever honoured to trust
that’s the you i see
and that’s what’s made me whole
by your resilience of character
and profound nature of true
like an arrow to the target
but really to the things
that ensure life
rings out brightly
and brings all it can alive
and so then becomes
all we could want
without reluctance at all
nor inferences to miss
just the love of the pure
and the pulsating certainty of this
that the mettle
of your deepest being
is now just a beat away from me
i tasted cold coffee with soya drink just now
and the memories of a campsite somewhere in austria maybe
high up in the mountains where summer green was all around
and showers stopped automatically
and buttons had to be repeatedly pressed
and the early morning drifted smells of bacon grill and more
and the milk was uht
'cos it had to be it just had ...
so all this came drifting back to me
and all this was sharp as nines
and all this was in my head just how
and right now is when i remembered with fondness
the trials and tribulations and real pain
of being my mother and father's son
because mostly it was pain:
slashing tongues which fast cut me to the quick
nailing me to the spot like hammer hitting out
and lashing me with criticisms of everything i tried
to make emerge from me
and so only this minute
do i begin very slowly
to do the things i always wished to do
and be the man i never was
and grin to love
not grin to bear
and find at last
in human relations
the right to enjoy myself full fair
without recrimination or disapprobation
or disapproval of some religious scriptures:
what hurt me so all those years ago
and still on occasions serves to actually destroy my soul
and so now i don't care
what he might think
because now he's passed and is in his clink
and she meanwhile reveals herself
as authoritarian body
of dictatorial mouse:
scampering around and making all silent
and then patting down the violences of them both
for the passive-aggression he imposed on my child
was fully enabled by her actions of default
and whilst i was younger
and felt myself deeply
the blame of just being there and occupying a space
which was never to be mine
in the end it's true i've had this life of falsehood
and in the end it will be TRUER
you and me
or me and another
or whomsoever i shall finally meet
in joy and daily grandeur
when heads hit pillows
and the mellowness of affection
turns into
for a moment
no longer the passions of terrible and bloody rejection
for my brain is a magdalena
and my memories are beginning to heal
I’ve been progressing my projects recently quite a bit. See the two “business model canvas” drafts below as one example:
One observation I need to add as per the following updated sverige2.earth homepage — Ireland and Liverpool UK may now form a co-location for Workstream A with its associated AI innovation (though not invention) processes:
As you can see, Irish-located big-tech would provide circular-economy hardware lifecycle delivery and management, whilst the cloud that would sit behind an agnostic cloud management services dashboard, also located in Ireland, would itself be located in the Nordic versions of US big-tech cloud services.
Finally, in this first corporate relationship, the responsibility for AI innovation (though not, as already observed, invention) would be that of existent Liverpool AI organisations and institutions.
*
Meantime, I’ve finally been on the serious hunt for a funding flexible enough to allow me to locate in two or three countries without being imperiously tied to one. The latter has always been my objection to the UK-based government funding streams I’ve been offered: zero intention to promote ties with other countries that don’t purely involve selling to them, with no collaboration contemplated at deep levels; no transfers of technology, knowhow, or business models; and nothing, really, that talks to me of open doors, whether intellectual, technological, or even simply business-related. And this was before Brexit.
As a result of all this, I’ve now found a funding-pot foreign to UK government and agency approaches which will, if awarded, allow me to capitalise on my existing UK-based ltd company structure, establishing myself in Ireland simultaneously for what I mentioned above already that I call Workstream A, alongside a filtered Workstream B; and then taking the next step to set up a Swedish AB as Holding and driver of the Intuition and Neurodiverse Thinking Lab I want to be my direct responsibility and end-of-life work, covering off the pure research and invention that will form the basis of Workstream C and Workstream D.
This funding stream I have applied for just yesterday would enable all of the above to be kickstarted into the life it should’ve had already years ago. And I now exclude no one: simply include everyone with starting-conditions I will be firm about, it is true; but that once agreed I have no intention of us changing, ever.
Below, then, as a flavour of the tenor of my thinking, the video I was asked to make for the funding submission described above:
This video now forms part of this submission for funding, the initial decision on which will be taken by the organisation in question in June 2023.

Oh, and have a safe Sunday … yeah?
there's one thing
i'd like to ask you now
because i know you read what i say
and how
i know you can read these words
before i ever post
so that with these words i need just to write
knowing you'll read them fine
and i know your mum is reading them too
and i'm glad you are as well
because if the cards i've chosen
are the cards of my heart
then the cards when i gift them
will restart three lives and maybe more:
not only for myself
and not only for the person i love the most
but also serving to make good and fair
the pain we suffered rudely
and maybe that ... yes maybe this
and maybe ever so crudely too
and i care little now
to attribute blame
because blame doesn't fit
the human spirit
as i see it:
not when human it is
and desiring of an embrace
and a taste of true lips
and the hug of compassion
and a laughter that never shames:
just these sorts of things
that bring us all into being again
and then once more manage to open the doors
to ways of waking in mornings galore
where wanting to do so
is easy as pie
and wry scornful actions
no longer pepper our days
and the grimace of hurt
is left fabulously in the lurch
as we realise that true expressions of love
repair and renew and heal ever so fine
if given the chance
to emerge from their dens
and lairs and burrows
of hidden sorrows:
because this is what i want
and not from tomorrow
this is what i want to say right today
to both of you too it's absolutely true:
thank you in a way that is as irish as can be
for making it all finally possible
that true love may happen:
no longer sacrificial in any way
but just as an open-handed life
that loves itself and its possessors as equals
and so once again with both i say
the persons i hurt so many times for real
and the persons i meant no harm to in any way
that here's the truth beyond my desires
in no way did i strive to make them higher:
true love is what it says
and it would have been easier it's true
to fall in love with someone else
and not in love with you
but i didn't choose to love you this way
because i thought it tool of hate
and although it all seemed planned so clear
the first in my mind
was not to take vengeance on the prior:
not in this way was it my intention
nor even serving the purpose of obsession
because now as i feel it and sense it so deep
the only thing i regret in all of this
was my impropriety when this heart did love
and finding myself incapable of discretion
and choosing to use my words
in poems everyone detested:
and so if anything
i can manage to make right and now
i'd like it to be to chat with the both of you
and how
and show you that life can be beautiful and good
when a table and food and a predisposition
on all sides to learn
from the hurt of the past
so the passed it does become
and finds itself replaced firmly
with the hand and hug of friendship long:
never lost again
to the anger of all that
because as the man i now do slowly become
it's my hat to two irish ladies
of the very best there've ever been
i wish to tip and salute in this truth
as i mentioned above in love:
friendship beyond everything
because this is it and this is fine
and this is grand and grander than all
and this ... why ireland (it's true)
