Neo-Constructors : Our Distance from Nature

At some point we have gotten too far away. We forgot who we are, and what has ultimate authority of our existence. Taking control of resources has given leverage to those motivated by dominance and self-interest and are drawn to positions of authority. Using these systems as leverage to extract the value of your life for their own means.

Today, we find ourselves so separated from nature that we miss out on its restorative benefits. The more distant we become, the more our mental and physical health suffers. Instead of recognizing this disconnect, we tend to believe we’re inherently lacking and turn to systems that, ironically, hinder real wellness by disrupting the Bio-Scape. It’s not simply that society is flawed—rather, it has been influenced by those drawn to power, whom we’ll call Neo-Constructors. Nature resists control because it is an authentic creation, while human-made systems are much easier to manipulate and grow stronger as we depend on them and move further from nature. The Neo-Constructors envy the effortless design of nature and attempt to surpass it through their own constructs.

These systems are designed to capture your attention and persuade you that they’re the only option—but that illusion only holds if you don’t look beyond them. This is how the Neo-Constructors keep your perspective limited and manageable. The Neo-Constructor fears chaos, the organic, the unmeasured. Uncertainty and natural spontaneity threaten their sense of order, so they try to minimize anything they cannot predict or quantify. In response, they systematically replace the living—systems, processes, even relationships—with what is calculated, structured, and within their control. What once held mystery, vitality, and possibility is reduced to a set of procedures and objectives. Mystery becomes management; the unpredictable is sanitized until it fits neatly into their frameworks. In this way, they seek to maintain dominance over the world by confining it to what can be explained, standardized, and owned.

Before embracing a Neo-Constructor solution, pause to consider: does nature offer what you’re seeking, or are you being presented with a diluted repackaging - a product found in the Neo-Scape? More often than not, what’s "sold" to us through the Neo-Scape is a way to leverage your access to the natural world or the Bio-Scape and Neo-Constructors always take their "cut." While these Neo-Scape offerings appear convenient or innovative, they are just lesser imitations, designed to draw from resources that were once directly available to you. In exchange for adopting these substitutes, you pay a hidden price - whether it’s in the form privacy, diminished well-being, a subtle dependency or a bit of your freedom while the same solution is directly available to you with a bit of extra effort.

The Neo-Scape and it's constructors aren't a single problem to solve, it’s a layers of process and structures we created: economic, political, social, digital, algorithmic. Each aims to solve a few problems, yet each adds a new weight and burden on your spirit. We also don't entertain the thought of how these all interact. Much like prescriptions that by themselves may be fine, but combined with other systems, they create conflict and harm. Together, these layers form a cage with additional weight and we mistake it for reality, only because we agree it's real. Meanwhile, the Bio-Scape sits beneath, patient but suppressed, still the only layer we cannot escape and the only true system we all answer to in the end.
