new trailmark - summary to review - the word "review" may be a better trailmark word than "summary" - At this point, I will replace "summary" with "review" in the case of book or article reviews

review - Lisa's book is an insightful convergence of an important but ignored subject, the experiential intersection between language and consciousness. - Her understanding that language plays an important role in constructing our reality leads to a bold and novel proposal, especially salient at this time of global poly-meta-perma-meaning crisis. - She proposes that we individually and collectively experiment and explore creating new words and language structures that transcend the limitations of our existing language - If patterns of language usage traps us in outdated conceptual paradigms, then breaking out of these may be challenging, if not impossible, without the creation of new linguistic and language structures. - From a Stop Reset Go and Deep Humanity perpsective, Lisa's proposal for practical experimentation with constructing new languages to unleash new forms of expression is very aligned to Deep Humanity BEing journeys - As I read and annotate Lisa's book, any potential linguistic and language BEing journeys that her words inspired will be recorded for posterity

Summary - Jeffrey Sachs provides very good analysis of Trump's tariffs and its consequences

for - weaker US dollar tradeoffs - lower cost for foreign buyers BUT higher cost for domestic US consumers

for - adjacency - US reserve currency - Some in Trump admin see it as a bad thing - question - Does Trump admin want to intentionally devalue US dollar and US reserve currency status?

comment - They want to devalue the US dollar so that US goods are more competitive - lower cost

for - balancing the budget - Doge - cutting the US deficit - Doge - US deficit - mostly due to medicare and social security

for - why - increase in treasury yields normally strengthens US Dollar - Gemini AI gives a good explanation - Yes, it's generally expected that when U.S. Treasury yields increase, the value of the US dollar will strengthen. - This is because higher yields attract more foreign investment, increasing demand for the dollar to purchase those assets. - Higher yields ( higher interest rate) mean more attractive returns: - When Treasury yields rise, the returns on U.S. government bonds become more appealing to investors, both domestic and foreign. - Increased demand for US dollars: - As investors from other countries seek to buy these higher-yielding U.S. assets, they need to first convert their local currencies into US dollars to make the purchase. - This increased demand for dollars strengthens its value. - Safe-haven status: - During times of economic uncertainty, investors often flock to safe-haven assets like U.S. Treasuries. This further boosts the demand for the US dollar, as it is the currency used to hold these assets. - Currency Valuation - A strong currency indicates a healthy economy and can attract more foreign investment. This creates a positive feedback loop, as a stronger dollar can further boost investor confidence and lead to even higher demand for US assets.

for - US treasury bonds - balances 7% annual budget deficit

for - investigate - flip side of trade deficit is financial surplus

for - question - clarify for the audience how the US dollar as reserve currency, the decrease in demand for US treasury bonds and the US national debt are related to Trump's tariffs?

comment - The interviewer asks a great question on behalf of the audience as she understands that a lot of people don't understand the significance of Trump's tariff on the US national debt, treasury bonds and the US reserve currency. - She asks him to connect the dots and reveal the salient adjacencies

for - question - what would it mean for the dollar to lose its position as the world's reserve currency? - answer - if nobody buys US treasury bonds because it is no longer seen as a safe haven, and even begin liquidating them, then they can no longer compensate for the annual interest payment of the US national debt - The US would be forced to actually balance its budget

for - impacts - of US dollar losing role as world reserve currency - can no longer fund US deficit and must balance the budget - lose geopolitical leverage of sanctions

for - explanation - sanctions - chokepoints - US reserve currency

explanation - sanctions - chokepoints - US reserve currency - If a country is sanctioned, it means that they can no longer use the US dollar for trading for goods (like weapons) - If a sanction country tries to buy a weapon, then it must transact with US dollars because that is the currency everyone uses to trade with - Either that country has enough paper US dollars to trade, or they must do it electronically - However, if the country is sanctioned, those US dollar transactions are monitored by the US government and will be disallowed - So it is the electronic means of surveillance of US dollar transactions which make sanctions effective

comment - The MAGA movement needs to deeply reflect on this - They claim national pride but do not go further back in history than the establishment of the United States - They need to recognize how the US was established on genocide in order to live in cultural truth - This reality creates a contradiction to their entire theme of white national power - It makes the elimination of DEI hypocritical as indigenous peoples have a far more legitimate claim than they do

Summary - This is a very insightful paper on futuring and how activity in the present realizes imagined fictions, which don't yet exist, and bring them into being in our (future) present - One thing to note is that there is a huge swath of human activity not explicitly discussed which is intrinsically futuring, and that is the birth of any new idea in general, including scientific, mathematical and technological. - Human progress is the sum total of countless individual futuring projects that imagine some fictitious, nonexistent idea and work to incrementally bring it into existence.

meeting notes - see below

ANNIKA: - inner work helps us stay sane dealing with the chaos in our work - healing is not fixing - hope is a muscle, go to the "hope gym" - not just personal but collective

EDWIN: - inner WORK - constant, continuous work - how do you scale these things? Is it wrong term to use? Mechanistic? - how do we move to global impact? We don't know yet

LOUISE - inner work saved my - orientate inside away from trauma architecture - colonized and colonizer energies - they longed to be in union - be with all parts of myself - allow alchemy on the outside to the inside - liberate myself from my trauma structures and unfold myself - we cannot be a restorer unless we do that inner work - systeming - verbalizing / articulating it - we are all actors in creating the system - question - where am i systeming from? - answer - I am an interbeing - Am i systeming from the interbeing space or the trauma architecture space? - Where am I seeding from? What energy do I put into my work? - system is not concrete and fixed but fluid - fielding - bringing different human fields together - I can work with hatred and rage on the inside and transmute it so that I don't add to it on the outside

JOHN: - stuck systems and lens of trauma can help us get unstock - 70% of people have experienced trauma - trauma is part of the human experience - people make up systems - so traumatized people makes traumatized systems - fight, flight and freeze happens at both levels - at system level, its fractally similiar - disembodied from wisdom - in state of survival and fear - fixing things - until we deal with the trauma in the people, we will continue to have traumatized systems - More work won't help if it's coming from traumatized people

EDWIN - incremental change - something holding us back - built upon these traumas - Economic metrics are out of touch with how the trauma affects systems - Journey - awareness first, then understanding and inner transformation and finally change - Discussion with funders - most are still stuck in old paradigm of metrics, audits, etc - this comes with trauma because we have no trust on who is on the other side - a big part of the system is built on mistrust, creates more gaps between us - need to become anti-fragile

ANNIKA - Funders have lack of trust because inner work hasn't been done on both sides - As a funder, we really try to create a space of trust - Think of the language we use to be inclusive - How do we make inner work a part of the operating system of how we work? - We looked at 500 mental health organizations over the years - It's so urgent now that we align our work

EDWIN - We have a lot of half-formed thoughts - It's very complex and nobody has cracked it - We have a phrase at Axum that we move at the speed of trust - To do something different, they need to trust you - When I think of the discussions I've had with heads of states and CEOs, these meaningful inner ideas are not often brought up

LAURA - When there's no trust, even if there is no danger, the trauma is still brought up - We need to shift our lens on trauma and become aware of when trauma emerges - quote - inner condition of the intervener determines the success of intervention - Bill O'Brien

LOUISE - I work a lot with nervous system and body system - We need small changes in our nervous system - If I try to do something big, I can re-traumatize myself - We also have a collective nervous system - Restore love to all parts of your system first - Make friends with trees to seed actions from union

JOHN - Become aware of my own trauma triggers - When we see an outsized reaction, we can guess that person is undergoing personal trauma - A settled body settles bodies - If we are calm, it helps calm others

LAURA - Feel where we don't feel grounded, where we shame ourselves, feel compassion there

QUESTIONS - See below

• mushrooms and ayuahuasca - is it helpful?

• A lot of women forget the feminine energy to climb the ladder and get sick?

• backlash - feels like white men were being pushed to do work they weren't ready to do so now reclaiming their comfortable traumatized space

• how early do we start to teach this knowledge?

• How do organizations hold space for the enormous trauma that the US govt is manufacturing. We need to build this practice into organizations to help deal with the onslaight

• Youth are so hungry for being in the presence of others who are wise, compassionate. We can't move faster than the speed of trust but it needs to become accessible.

ANSWERS - See below

LOUISE - Organizations have a huge role to play at this time - We want to reconfigure and transform the trauma - Deep forming teams in organizations to help transform - Trauma fields want to come through human nervous systems to transform - We are both feminine and masculine and the masculine wounding is very important and needs to find the feminine - We cannot go away by ourselves to heal from patriarchy, colonialism energies

ANNIKA - In terms of how we fund, can we fund differently? We need to fund these spaces

EDWIN - I sit on board of Wellbeing project - changemakers go through burnout - how do we prevent this and create a container that can sustain them? - Weve brought 20,000 people in summits who have affected 3 million people. Please come to the Hurts summit in Czec and Wellbeing project - When pendulum swings back from individual space, we should be like a spiral

JOHN - In systems change spaces, trauma is seldom spoken of. - Systems work will not work if we ignore trauma - This is critical

Quote - Today’s humans are biologically the same as people who lived 10,000 years ago -Richard Heinberg

• Today’s humans are biologically the same as people who lived 10,000 years ago;
  • but our current
    • habits,
    • expectations, and
    • beliefs
  • are almost entirely tied to
    • machines,
    • infrastructure,
    • energy sources, and
    • artificial materials
  • that have only recently come into existence.
• Compared to our hunter-gatherer forebears,
  • we might as well be from another planet.
