2023 - meditando profile (corrected).jpg

hey there. i’m a l1f3 player, researcher & metadesigner co-envisioning l1f3 stream - a nonprofit institute working to support the re-design the foundational systems of our society as open-source, distributed, collaborative and regenerative systems & protocols.

for the past 7 years, i’ve been working/researching at the intersection of consciousness, art, design, technology, regeneration, learning and games. since then, i’ve been slowly designing/building the l1f3 game, l1f3 OS, l1f3 management system, l1f3 streaming system and l1f3 player system - and testing them all in my own life, by implementing an open-source regenerative player lifestyle.

i'm currently working towards publishing my r&d as a book-zine called ✳ viable pathways and consolidating a collection of key designs/prototypes as part of a theory of change for the major projects mentioned above: the ⛓ l1f3 support systems.

my research, curation, projects & prototypes are hosted on reality disruption labs, a community that i co-started and currently steward.

it’s where i share my current findings and developments, which attempts to establish a coherent knowledge commons around these topics:

if these topics spark your interest, consider joining us (it’s free! + you can support me by making a recurring donation 😄).

or work with me! - possible for both individuals and organizations.

currently my work/research spans across 3 scales/horizons:

long-term: transforming life into a game. building/curating/integrating systems, tools and practices for playing life in more shared, collaborative, regenerative and disruptive ways.
mid-term: creating glocal systems that are regenerative by design, empowering and supporting all human beings, as well as raising their level of responsibility with respect and collaboration with all other forms of life.
short-term: creating tools that enable conscious lifestyles that are shared, collaborative, regenerative and disruptive by design, promoting greater awareness, freedom, empowerment, adventure/fun, healing and contribution.

over the past 7 years i studied/experimented with/identified over 500 projects, organizations, initiatives, tools and communities that address these topics from multiple perspectives, in search of the most comprehensive ones (taking note of many of my own biases and unique viewpoints in all this process). my intent with this was to a) understand myself and the landscape we’re in, and b) to find ways for us to collaborate towards these objectives, instead of feeling so alone and being caught up in trying to do everything on my own. and through this process, i inevitably felt the lack of many other tools/resources, so i also mapped these and developed theses, concepts, maps, designs, experiments and prototypes of my own.

tl;dr — i found that:

our economic system is predatory/degenerative by design, creating incentives for competing for resources, driving a thoughtware of extractivism, scarcity and self-preservation behaviors that are both illusory and narcissistic. i.e. we need ancestrally new economic systems that are regenerative by design.
our energy/attention is systematically captured and manipulated by this system, robbing us of our own autonomy of being - i.e. we need new tools, systems and practices that honor, develop and regenerate our energy/attention.
our information ecology is flooded with irrelevant, misrepresented and misaligned data and information. i.e. we need ancestrally new information systems that are distributed, trust-based.
we’re taught to exist within a very limited set of ways of being, leaving us with a fragmented sense of self and a nervous system severely traumatized and robbed of its innate state of relaxation, in exchange for an always-on state/perpetual fight-or-flight/survival mode. - i.e. we need ancestrally new ecologies of practices that take into consideration the development and unfoldment of the whole self.
our fun, spontaneity, playfulness and generosity are exploited and turned into expectations and pressure for generating results, recognition and financial return. i.e. we need ancestrally new systems and contexts in which these qualities aren’t just allowed, but recognized and incentivized as a bridge to connect us with deeper eros, the sacred and ever-present possible wiser ways of being.

therefore, i’ve researched, mapped and prototyped multiple projects/organizations/initiatives addressing these issues in different levels of depth.
