hey there. i’m a l1f3 player, researcher & metadesigner who has for been working/researching for the past 7 years at the intersection of consciousness, art, design, technology, regeneration, learning and games.

i’m 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, and i’ve been working on its main projects for many years: the l1f3 game, l1f3 OS, l1f3 management system, l1f3 streaming system and l1f3 player system - plus 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, also called the ⛓ l1f3 support systems.

👋🏻 my work in a snapshot

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

1. long-term: civilization design → transforming life into a massively multiplayer online-and-offline self-transformation & civilization-building game. building/curating/integrating systems, tools and practices for playing life in more shared, collaborative, regenerative and disruptive ways.
2. mid-term: life design → creating glocal systems for individual and collective life management 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.
3. short-term: self design → creating tools that enable conscious lifestyles and ways of being that are shared, collaborative, regenerative and disruptive by design, promoting greater awareness, freedom, responsibility, empowerment, adventure/fun, healing and contribution.

🤔 but before getting so wordy and oddly specific, let me share a little story about my background and the world i grew up in.

❔ a brief introduction into my world & research

since i was a kid, but increasingly as i got older, i've constantly asked: what's my place/responsibility in society? how might i, or anyone really, contribute to the creation of more beautiful possibilities of life?

how might we, in spite of all of the tremendous injustices, struggles, pain and suffering that permeates life, continue to move and collaborate in the direction of creating the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible*?*

but first, i was caught up on an even deeper feeling/question:

• why isn't this "more beautiful world" the reality?

attempting to uncover that has been the major thread of my life over the past 10 years or so.

i grew up with a widespread sense of disconnection, weirdness. part of it is sensing it in my own parents - manipulation, deception, anger, reactiveness. there were some things deeply wrong about that relationship. but this sense also pervaded almost everything else for me. there were something deeply wrong with the way “most things are” and how society works. hunger, politics, war, propaganda... wasn’t it possible to end all that a long time ago? how are adults "fine" with it?

a few burning questions i had as an adolescent, getting into “real life”:

1. what games are we playing as individuals and as a society? why is life often so heavy, challenging, traumatic instead of fun and easy to be in flow? how can we "play" life better? and what kind(s) of game(s) can life be like?

2. why on earth is the amount/quality of tools we have to manage fictional characters so much better than the tools we have for managing ourselves/real life? why don't we have missions, challenges, skills, attributes, maps, guilds and many other useful systems/tools to navigate reality/life itself?
