The Machinery of Extraction and the Map of Reframings: Inverting the Inversion

There comes a moment when the noise of the market, the hum of the machine, and the endless demands of the system press so heavily against our days that we either collapse into it or begin to ask different questions. To see through the façade is one thing; to live within it without surrendering our truth is another.

This isn’t about paranoia. It’s about pattern recognition. And if we’re paying attention, we can begin to trace the outlines of a reality that’s being coded around us, one block at a time.
