  • How I Discovered the Natural World is Our Divinity

    How I Discovered the Natural World is Our Divinity
    2025/10/25
    The provided text is an essay by Greg Twemlow titled "How I Discovered the Natural World is Our Divinity," published on Medium in October 2025. The author asserts that the natural world itself is the only divinity humanity will encounter, a truth instinctively understood by the Ancients but progressively obscured by Western philosophy. The essay structures its argument around the evolution of ethics, showing how Immanuel Kant replaced faith with abstract reason, Friedrich Nietzsche declared the resulting void after the death of God, and Albert Camus sought meaning through human solidarity ("horizontal ethics") without fully recovering the sacredness of nature. Twemlow argues that the contemporary moral project is "re-cognition," which means restoring coherence between human consciousness and the living intelligence of the Earth, transforming ethical thought from mastery and abstraction to reciprocity and care.

  • When the Gods Went Missing

    When the Gods Went Missing
    2025/10/24
    The provided text is an excerpt from a 2025 Medium article by Greg Twemlow titled "When the Gods Went Missing," which argues that modern civilisation is unsustainable because it has lost the practice of "counsel." Twemlow defines counsel as the ethical exchange between wisdom and power that ensures decisions are guided by conscience, not merely profit or procedure. The author uses the 2018–2019 Menindee fish kill in Australia as a central parable, illustrating how "gross negligence" and administrative indifference resulted from replacing moral care with technical management. The piece further examines how ego, narcissism, and arrogance fuel a culture of acceleration, where systems are built to perform without reflection. Ultimately, Twemlow advocates for a reconstruction based on slowing down, restoring memory, and prioritising listening and empathy over frictionless efficiency to achieve true, lasting progress.

  • The Rise of a Context-Class Society has Begun

    The Rise of a Context-Class Society has Begun
    2025/10/23
    The provided text, an essay by Greg Twemlow titled "The Rise of a Context-Class Society has Begun," argues that OpenAI’s new Atlas browser represents a profound shift by transforming the internet into a cognitive habitat that remembers and mirrors human thought patterns. This transformation is predicted to create a context-class society, where advantage is determined by one's ability to curate and author meaning within the AI-mediated environment, rather than by traditional measures of wealth. Twemlow contends that traditional education, which focuses on recall and standardisation, is obsolete, calling for a redesign that prioritises discernment, ethical reasoning, and co-authorship with systems like Atlas and the RARE (Retrieval-Augmented Reasoning) paradigm. Ultimately, the essay frames the challenge as spiritual and ethical, advocating for the SPARK (Sovereign Problem Architect for Resilient Knowledge) framework and the Context & Critique Rule™ to ensure human sovereignty and intentionality persist within accelerating automation.

  • Rescuing Your Soul in the Algorithmic Age

    Rescuing Your Soul in the Algorithmic Age
    2025/10/22
    The text consists of excerpts from an article titled "How to Rescue Your Soul in 2025," written by Greg Twemlow, which advocates for a complete and decisive break from AI-powered social media platforms. Twemlow recounts his personal journey of deleting all social media to regain deep focus and creative capacity, arguing that these platforms operate on a false economy of distraction by extracting users' agency and attention. He characterises the experience of leaving as an "act of design" and a "reconstitution of the soul," where the initial silence gives way to unmediated presence and genuine thought, which he terms the "quiet revolution." Ultimately, the author frames the choice to leave not as anti-technology, but as a pro-human stance focused on reclaiming consciousness and sustaining attention in the algorithmic age.

  • The Machine Republic and the Five Pillars of Sovereign Defence

    The Machine Republic and the Five Pillars of Sovereign Defence
    2025/10/19
    The provided text, an article by Greg Twemlow titled "The Machine Republic and the Five Pillars of Sovereign Defence," presents a critical argument that the modern global crisis stems from an obsolete economic philosophy centred on Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which enables authoritarianism and unchecked corporate extraction. Twemlow contends that this flawed metric allows the AI capitalist juggernaut to seize essential resources like water by treating them as uncounted externalities, creating "structural sacrifice zones" out of communities. To counter this "Convergence" of oligarchic power and computational infrastructure, the author proposes a Five Pillars of Sovereign Defence framework, inspired by the musical Circle of Fifths, to reclaim individual and collective agency. The pillars prescribe action across education, economics (replacing GDP with the Earth-Aligned Prosperity Index, or EPI), material defence, institutional integrity, and information truth, advocating that individual acts of complexity and defiance are the foundation of a collective counter-playbook.

  • The Fourth American Act - Machine Republic

    The Fourth American Act - Machine Republic
    2025/10/18
    The provided text is an excerpt from a 2025 Medium article titled "The Fourth American Act: Machine Republic" by Greg Twemlow, which warns that democracy faces a crisis through a phenomenon called “The Convergence.” This Convergence describes the fusion of authoritarian ambition, oligarchic power, and computational infrastructure, where governance is quietly replaced by algorithms and dependence on technology, leading to "infrastructural capture." Twemlow argues that this “Machine Economy”—fuelled by massive investments in AI hardware, likened to a bubble—threatens the middle and working classes by eroding wages and agency, a situation he terms “dark democracy.” To counter this silent coup, the author proposes the "Sovereign Compact for Education™" as the necessary “counter-architecture,” focusing on teaching ethical discernment and system-level comprehension to restore civic authorship.

  • Why I Designed a Sovereign Compact for Education

    Why I Designed a Sovereign Compact for Education
    2025/10/16
    The provided text is an excerpt from a 2025 Medium article by Greg Twemlow titled, "Why I Designed a Sovereign Compact for Education," which proposes a complete overhaul of the current education system. Twemlow argues that the architecture of learning must be rebuilt to counter the failures of traditional schooling, which prioritises compliance and synchronous learning over genuine understanding. The proposed solution is the Sovereign Compact for Education™, a framework centred on Seven Declarations that redefine learning as authorship, reflection, and evidence-based accountability. The core mechanisms for achieving this are the Sovereign Ethics Blueprint (SEB), which formalises personal and institutional values, and the Sovereign Impact Deliverables (SID), which require learners to produce visible, authored evidence of their integrity and growth. Ultimately, the Compact seeks to restore trust by making coherence between belief and behaviour the new standard of excellence, moving away from grades and imposed metrics. Read the article.
