The map is not the territory
But those of us who make’ new maps’
reshapes the world in novel ways
Metacommentary:
A Life’s Work
All of us tell stories, to ourselves, to others, to the world. These stories
shape us and our place in the world. And like, most stories,
they have identifiable plots, characters, and motifs.
Systems & Complexity
There are no ‘coincidences’ in this world, everything is an outcome of cause and effect.
Systems move the human and natural worlds. Complexity lets us appreciate the interaction between systems.
Public Systems & Policy
We only, see us and the forces that stand in the way of our goals, desires and fears. These forces are exerted by large social and economic systems. These systems in turn are influenced, by “public policy.”
Geopolitics & AI
Geography shapes human conflict and cooperation at large scales. AI is code, Code is language, and language is the vehicle of Politics.
AI & Mimesis
As AI is driven by Language, and so all the risks of representation, persuasion are present. AI is only a Map, and like all maps it has both correct routes and errors.
Concepts & Projects
I am working with multiple foundational concepts in Power, Politics and Economy. That work often spills over the theoretical lane into the practical lane, creating new projects.
Climate Change
Climate Change is a human problem and will be solved by human solutions. I work at the intersection of Urban Planning, Institutional capacity, and Nature Based Solutions for Climate Change
Resources for edge operators
In our hyper-connected and flat world, true novelty is emerging at the edges of systems and networks. The most free actors and Change Makers are working at the very margin of systems, paradigms and thinking. Here we aim to equip them with some thinking from the desk of a similar free actor
What we will do ?
- Collaborate with fellow Thinkers & Doers.
- Showcase most of my projects & concepts.
- Work as anchor to my personal intellectual output.
Metacommentary Newsletter
- A collection of ‘deep dive’ articles.
- Case studies in Strategy, Geopolitics, & Systems
- Insights an AI, Complexity and Narratives
“Metacommentary is not a reflection of personal ambition, it is about continuity of thought. About a cognitive, spiritual, and analytic community of thinkers and doers. Who will be able to engage here with “strategic depth“. It is about taking the ‘long view’ and ‘hard road’ in a world
of ‘immediacy’ and ‘convenience.’
