Los Angeles, June 4, 2025 Dear Geert— More and more, I see what’s happening in the USA as a war on the young that they don’t even know they are fighting, much less how much they are losing.

Los Angeles, September 6, 2025 Dear Geert — I’ve been writing “The Present Crisis” letters not only to explain what the America looks like from the inside to those outside its borders, but also to sketch new taxonomies for US citizens to have a mental map for how to move forward. Yet, as the attacks [...]| Institute of Network Cultures

Like the Möbius strip, the Klein bottle, which can only exist [...]| Institute of Network Cultures
