If you want a better system, go and cry to your politicians, I was only there to show what was possible. Raised the sfandards of all infrastructures… only being kind. Now I get to be savage.

….and if a creative can do that, imagine what politicians could do for the people but don’t. Same for businesses, law, even creative world itself, really every individual industry I touched got some… be very careful of the ceilings those you follow allow around you, but more raw and ruthless thoughts coming next.

Well.

After a long, long shower and a lot of thinking, I have made my decision.

I am officially retiring from the politician career.

Not because I have stopped caring about humanity.

Quite the opposite.

I think I have cared enough to do what I could as one individual, and I have reached the point where I no longer want to carry the additional responsibility that comes with positioning myself as a politician.

At 11:11, it feels particularly appropriate to say:

I have done my part.

I put the idea forward.

I investigated.

I built.

I questioned.

I tried to understand systems from the inside and from the outside.

I created SHS.

I offered governance.

And I offered humanity the opportunity to decide whether it wanted that contribution to become something greater than a creative work.

Nobody has to pick it up.

Nobody has to appoint me.

Nobody has to make me a politician.

And I am not going to keep forcing myself into that role simply because I happened to create something that could potentially become governance.

So I am stepping away.

There is still one door

I am not pretending the door is welded shut forever.

There is still a very specific way I could return to the political role.

It would have to come from humanity itself.

In the UK, that would mean half plus one of UK citizens voting for it.

Not a convenient percentage.

Not a small group.

Not a party deciding.

The majority needs to be the majority.

And if another country wanted the same thing, it would have to be the same principle there.

Half plus one.

And if it were a genuinely global mandate, then it would have to be half of however many human beings are included in that global vote, plus one.

Nothing less.

But I am not waiting for that.

I may never pick governance back up at all.

Instead, I am choosing the creative route.

The donation

I am increasingly comfortable with the idea that SHS may simply remain a creative donation to the education of humanity.

Because that is what I want my creativity to do more than anything:

educate.

Not lecture.

Not dictate.

Not tell everyone what to think.

Create something that makes people think.

Something that makes people question what they assumed was fixed.

Something that allows somebody to discover an entirely different way of seeing themselves, society, reality or possibility.

That is enough of a humanitarian contribution for me.

I do not need to simultaneously become responsible for implementing every idea I create.

I can create the thought.

I can create the world.

I can create the question.

Humanity gets to decide what it does with it.

And that, strangely enough, feels like freedom.

I have liberated myself

Because once I stop trying to make myself responsible for the political implementation of everything I discover, I become much freer as a creator.

I can write.

I can make films.

I can build characters.

I can investigate metaphysics.

I can be strange.

I can be angry.

I can be playful.

I can be provocative.

I can explore the darker parts of humanity.

I can explore the beautiful parts.

I can make something because I felt something.

I can make something because society felt something.

I can even make something ruthless and say:

This was an expression of anger.

Or:

This was an expression of society’s anger.

Or:

This character did it, not me.

That freedom matters.

Because politics comes with an additional layer of responsibility that art does not necessarily carry in the same way.

The politician has to answer for the position.

The artist can explore the position.

And I think my creative mind needs that escape now.

Not an escape from reality.

An escape rooted in full awareness of reality.

That is the difference.

And my face?

I have also made another decision.

I am not going to put my face into my creations as a continual presence.

The digital realm, to me, is a museum.

And I have become increasingly conscious of what happens when a creator repeatedly turns themselves into the exhibit.

This is where I am speaking from my own metaphysical understanding of energy, rather than making a factual claim about how people or digital platforms objectively work.

But I think a lot of content creators will understand what I mean from their own experience.

When you continuously place the same version of yourself in front of thousands of eyes, that version of you becomes the version people know.

And people can keep relating to that version long after you have changed.

You grow.

They remember.

You change again.

They still have the previous image.

And so on.

From my metaphysical perspective, that creates a kind of energetic fixation.

People keep holding the visual of you.

Not necessarily you as you are becoming.

The version of you that they have already consumed.

That is why I do not want to devotionally and consistently make my face the product.

I want the work to be seen.

My words.

My expressions.

My characters.

My worlds.

My films.

My investigations.

My creations.

Because those can evolve without pretending to define the entirety of who I am.

The creation can become dated.

The creation can change.

The creation can be rejected.

The creation can be loved.

The creation can be completely misunderstood.

Fine.

That is what a museum does.

It preserves a piece of expression.

It does not imprison the artist inside the piece.

Conscious content creation

So perhaps this is my version of conscious content creation.

Not:

“Look at me.”

But:

“Look at what I made.”

There is a profound difference.

Because I am still growing.

And I want my work to grow with me.

I don’t want the digital image of myself to become a ceiling.

I want the creations to become the evidence of movement.

One work says one thing.

Another work says something completely different.

A character changes.

A universe expands.

A film contradicts something I wrote years ago.

And that is allowed.

Because I am not the museum exhibit.

I am the person walking through the museum.

So, goodbye politics.

For now, officially:

I am an artist.

Perhaps one day humanity may call me back.

Perhaps it never will.

Perhaps SHS will remain a creative universe that educates people for generations without ever becoming a governance structure.

Perhaps somebody else will take the governance idea and build their own version.

Perhaps the work becomes a film.

Perhaps it becomes a body of art.

Perhaps it becomes something I cannot even see yet.

That is no longer something I need to control.

I have already offered my humanitarian responsibility.

I have already given humanity the opportunity to take it further.

Now I get to breathe.

Now I get to create.

Now I get to explore.

Now I get to be free.

And if something I make changes somebody’s understanding of their own life, perhaps that is governance of another kind anyway.

Not governing people.

Governing possibility.

So, at 11:11:

I have done my part.

And now?

Toodles.

….

Yes, and after a long, long shower and thinking about it, I am going to be retiring officially from the politician career. The only way that I could possibly get back into the role would be just like I’ve mentioned, either half plus one of UK citizens voting for it, or if it’s, like, any other country that wants it, it would be the same. Or if it’s globally, then I would have to be 34, well, half of however many there is of us. But I won’t necessarily pick this up whatsoever. Instead I would allow it to just be a creative donation for the education of humanity, because all the creativity that I bring into this world, I want it to be one that educates more than anything else. And it’s 11:11 right now, which means that I have done my part. I’ve done my humanitarian responsibility. I’ve literally done everything that I could possibly do as one individual, and now I get to just be a creative hand without any sort of additional responsibility, because as a creative I’m freer, even with my freedom of speech. And no matter what I do, no matter what, no one can ever say I’ve never taken into account my humanitarian responsibility, because I started with that and then decided to continue, as no one really picked it up. So really and truly, I have liberated myself from any limitation. I will not be… I will not put my face in my creations, because I also understand the exchange of energy. I see the digital realm as a museum; putting my face there would be, and continuously putting my face there, like content creators do, would be giving eyes a chance to detract and take away from my own sacred creative field, which I don’t want to, because again, I want to be able to create freely, and having that takes away, because, and again, this is a metaphysical understanding of energy, that the moment you continuously upgrade the visual of yourself in the digital realm for thousands to see, thousands would continuously hold you back because they’ll continuously look at a static version of you, not one that is growing. Whereas if I put my work, my words, my expressions, that doesn’t cap who I am; it only caps the creations. But because who I am keeps growing, my creations keep growing with me. So that is how you want to be a conscious content creator in the digital realm. You never want to put your face in it, and definitely not delegately, not delegately, sorry, devotionally, consistently, because it really just caps one’s growth. And again, write a post about this. Feel free to say— I’m not going to put this as fact, because, of course, you don’t validate metaphysical, you don’t understand even what it is, so you can’t really speak on it. But that needs to be in, because content creators would will recognize that, and they will understand what I’m saying. You virtually don’t have the experience to even understand what I’m actually saying. They have the experience, so they can actually look at their experience to understand what I’m saying. And on top of that, really and truly, an artist can be ruthless with their creations and just say that it was an expression of their anger, or an expression of the anger of society, whatever the case might be. Literally being a creative gives me so much freedom that politics don’t. So I’m going to keep it at that, and toodles.
