Life on the island has taught me much about simplicity, authenticity, and the contrast between calm community living and the noise of the modern world.

From Safety Nets to Digital Traps: The Harvesting of Childhood
We are lulled into thinking that more surveillance, more devices, and more virtual safety nets will protect our children. Yet beneath the polished slogans and technological promises lies a darker truth: reality itself is being eroded, traded away for simulations and dashboards, and formative years are being harvested by algorithms.

The scaffolding of modern life — banks, codes, governments, technologies — promises stability yet delivers dependency.

In this discussion, we explore the architecture of these divisions, the strategies that have kept generations in their chains, and the quiet paths of liberation still available to those who dare to see.
