The Capitalist Simulation is Lying to You: Why "Self-Made" is a Trap

Image
The Capitalist Simulation is Lying to You: Why "Self-Made" is a Trap Checkout the episode Let’s stop playing small, Tribe. Today is Thursday, July 9, 2026, and we are stepping directly into the vibrating green energy of Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics) . It's time to have a real, unfiltered conversation on the porch. Look around you. We are constantly breathing in a psychological virus—a predatory simulation engineered to keep you Scared and Mad . The system floods your feed with the lie of scarcity, screaming that there isn't enough room, enough money, or enough power for all of us to thrive. So what do we do? We get defensive. We buy into the hyper-individualistic hustle culture, running ourselves ragged on a corporate hamster wheel, chasing status symbols to look rich while our communities starve. We’ve been tricked into believing the myth of the "self-made" success story. But let's keep it 100: isolation is not security. It’s a prison sentence. True e...

Salute to Nommo X

I have to start this by saluting the men who have blazed a path in my life. I will do this in order and then I will dive in to this tribute.

Sending Props to Seth Godin

On this Journey you have to sometimes adjust your trajectory. You sometimes end up on a dead end trail, because the Journey is about gaining the experience so that you can share what you know. At these times it is good to humble yourself and admit that you are lost. What I have found in life is  that when you let your ego go and ask the universe for help, something always appears. Sometimes it's a book, a map, gift, and if you are lucky  a person. During one of my lost moments, I happened to be on TED.com looking for videos. This is when I ran into Seth Godin's presentation entitled " The Tribes We Lead ". He presented answer to questions I had been wrestling with. I suggested that those on the Journey check the video out. Now I want to send props for a few major things I learned from @sethgodin: 1. I was not trying to build organizations, but Tribes. It was something I had being doing but did not know what to call it. By being introduced to this idea, I have cha...
