Dead Cities. Living Villages | And Why Time Feels Like It Is Slipping Through Your Hands
Dead Cities Don’t Fail
They Extract
Since 1979, productivity rose more than 80 percent.
Pay rose less than 30 percent.
THE LIVING VILLAGE MANIFESTO
It belongs to those who stay.
Those who share.
Those who care.
Build the Village. Starve the Empire.
The future does not belong to those who escape together.
It belongs to those who stay.
Those who share.
Those who care.
Those who rebuild connection at the smallest possible scale.
Build the village.
Build the Village: Why Connection Starves Extractive Systems
In a village, one plus one does not equal two.
It equals resilience. Two people who know each other share tools. Share food. Share care.
Trust Is Built by Asking for Help
Trust does not grow through performance.
It grows through permission.
Permission to be seen.
Permission to ask.
Permission to support and be supported.
CoCreation | We Were Never Meant to Do It Alone
It took a village to raise a child.
A community to heal the sick.
A tribe to ensure longevity.

Mother Teresa and Siddhartha Gautama reached the same insight through opposite paths.
One never had wealth.
One was born inside it.
