“Replace the mirror with social media and you have an allegory for the times we live in.”
Is social media the “mirror” of the Snow Queen story? Or is it the digital realm itself?
I have heard it said that the goal of the technocratic infatuation is to create a digital twin (similar effect to a mirror but perhaps improved in orientation) of our world including all humans in addition to Nature. Impact investing seems to be madly supporting good causes which in turn seems to require a lot of data collection on everything from migration patterns of elephants (or humans!) to the mental health of teenagers.
Digital communities are replacing actual face to face human interaction with the advantage to alleviate our sense of isolation should we live in areas where we don’t care to know our neighbors, while generating an awful lot of data for the proverbial “Machine”.
It is all well and good to make use of the tools of the day, and indeed we have to in order to survive financially it seems. But as always it is worth keeping one wary eye on the old adage, “The path to Hell is paved with good intentions.”
Wauw this is amazing❤️ many thanks for this endeavor and the wonderful presentation, I am an admin for Love & Philosophy (YouTube channel) so i am totally and admittedly biased in saying this but it reminds me of what Andrea is trying to do there with the philosophy of Beyond Dichotomy and Holding the Paradox....will try and get you two in contact...gives me hope for a new way of being and thinking all around... just that so many are feeling this...
This reminds me of the importance of grief that you discussed in a previous article. I often return to this concept whenever I catch myself resisting and refusing to accept what is. But we can’t begin to make sense of something we haven’t fully accepted first. It’s much easier said than done ofc, but I’m so excited to see the magic that happens when we come together. Congrats, Ali! With everything that happened in the US this week, Kainos couldn’t have come at a better time
I am very excited by this. Currently reading your excellent book and am all booked for Breaking Convention. How does one become a founder member or has that moment passed?
Thanks Sasha, looking forward to connecting at BC - you can still become a founding member, it’s all through Substack - or you can go on https://www.studiokainos.com/join
LOVE this initiative and definitely will subscribe! I firmly believethat only our wildest imagination will bring humanity to ourhighest destiny and The Mother to full freedom from private property to and extractivism to an expanded consciossness!
Kairos is actually our direct temporal competitor, and we spend millions every year trying to penetrate the shifting sands that exist between what was and what is to be to steal its secrets - no luck yet, we’ll probably need to hire more mages.

Thank you Andrea! It's imagination all the way down ;)
This is soo good. Thanks Ali. This is needed, and profoundly inspiring! I feel called to a much higher purpose after having read your piece. Let's go!
Fuck yeah - good to have you on board man!
I'm really excited for this! Congrats.
I am signed up for the Substack, but I want to be a Payne member of Kainos. How can I do that?
I sent you a private message :)
Great to see. Kairos is my favorite kind of time (https://footnotes2plato.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/mindingtimeinanarchetypalcosmos.pdf )😀, so I’m sure I’ll enjoy Kainos. Best of luck with this new initiative!
