I fell? into this in the middle of the project. A refreshingly different approach, very thorough, both alarming and validation of thoughts scattered but not coalesced. Confirmation of the powers that move the world's elite, money and information. Feels true, trying to parse between conspiracy theories and true conspiracy (that line is getting really thin)! Over my lifetime (in my 60's) there has been a definite shift in overt power plays vs helping the common good. Pulling back the curtain is uncomfortable- but necessary - I find your work intriguing and worth the time to dive in.
Welcome to the Forge. You hit on the exact mission here: taking those 'scattered thoughts' and coalescing them into a coherent map. That 'shift' you’ve witnessed over the last few decades is exactly what we tried to document in the 'Shadow Arc' (specifically in 'The System Switch'). The line between theory and reality is indeed getting thin, but that’s why we focus on the receipts rather than the speculation. I'm glad to have your perspective here—it validates the history we're trying to recover.
This is one of the best recounts of events I have ever read! Ethan did a magnificent job showing, over these months, what has been happening in our society. 👏👏👏👏
We have a clear contrast here that’s worth naming.
Ethan’s stance is about building a fortress—a compound, lanes, operators, governance, structure. That makes sense when the goal is scale, resilience, and coordinated pressure. It’s a team architecture.
The Lone Wolf path is different. It’s not anti-structure, but it doesn’t depend on it. The Wolf operates light, mobile, and sovereign—no compound to defend, no lanes to manage, no hierarchy to maintain. Signal over organization. Awareness over infrastructure.
Both approaches arise from seeing the same prison. One responds by fortifying and coordinating. The other by refusing capture altogether.
Different strategies for the same terrain. The mistake would be thinking one replaces the other.
I urge you to check out the work of Darcia Narvaez. My account is based a lot on her work. Mammals often form groups we call nests in order to raise, protect, & teach young. We are talking about millions of years of evolution. This is how we were for 95% of our 300,000 year history when we shifted to agriculture. But we have lost the nurturing nest and have became hierarchical instead of egalitarian. So the trouble we are in will require creating ways to build kinship bonds, not return to small band hunter-gatherers. Darcia is on Substack plus at evolved nest.org, and speaks to many concerns. You can check my posts & notes for how I’m using the insights to analyze for clarity and action.

Brilliant and I’ll help wherever you need me. Thank you
