DECONSTRUCTING BABYLON #010 - THE BABYLONIAN AUDIT - UNPLUGGING THE MACHINE🦎⚛️
We have spent the last few insights walking through the shadows, identifying the specific "glitches" in the system that keep our beautiful Taitokerau in a state of artificial scarcity. It can feel overwhelming to realise just how deep the "Babylonian" operating system goes—it is in our laws, our bank accounts, our schools, and even our digital feeds. But there is a profound power in naming the beast. Once you see the tools for what they are—obsolete, high-entropy software—they lose their grip on your reality.
Babylon is a high-entropy engine. In physics, entropy is the measure of disorder, and Babylon stays "ordered" only by extracting the life force (Mauri) from our land and people and exporting it elsewhere. Whether it is exporting raw logs (embodied energy) or scraping our language to train global Al (digital flesh), the goal is the same: to leave us with the residue of disorder while the empire thrives on our order.
