buy me a ticket the club digital, please

Last night, I was having a conversation with my family and the topic of NFTs came up. I was sharing the notion of ownership and exclusivity with them and that this is the primary value driver of NFTs. We started talking about how you can now buy real estate in the digital world and own clubs and buy tickets to virtual places, reflecting very much the same ideas.

It sharply unveils the human impetus for action; the warring, vicious, greedy and cruel aspects of our nature. It’s as if we are told this is the only important gear for us and the ultimate goal is to dominate and own as much as possible, excluding as many people as possible but those rare few.

This couldn’t be further from the truth.

We are not all like this and in my ways this view simply reflects my own resentment to the pain I have felt in this life. But that it is even remotely sought after is unfortunate. Or am I running away from my own shadow? A surely impossible task…

If we do not alter the way we fundamentally view and therefore operate within the world, any world, digital or physical, will reflect the same primary inner motivations.

I do not wish to live in a world like this and so I won’t. There may be blockades and guards about the place but we move along and move what we can; all the while remaining in contact with the boundless, illimitable dimension of non-local reality often referred to as love.
