Manufactured Crises

Reclaiming Attention in a Manufactured World. In a world built on distraction and fear, the quiet act of presence becomes a form of rebellion.

I sat on the edge of the sea and spoke freely — not from a script, but from a sense of quiet clarity. This is a reflection on the machinery of crisis, the roles we're nudged into, and the narratives that claim to know who the enemy is. But beneath all of that noise is something still and honest: our awareness, our will, and our power to choose where we place our attention. This isn’t about waking people up. It’s about staying awake ourselves.
