Nobody seems to be talking intelligently about this. Children. Peace. Women. Men. Society.

Ukraine is, like many countries who befriend or are taken over by the Empires, traumatised from years and centuries of warfare.  

Crimea, Gallipoli, The Somme, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Ireland, Khartoum, Algeria, Kenya and many, many more, many hundreds of millions of lives destroyed by totally avoidable wars, among them the children, and the orphaned children and the children of survivors. Generation after generation after generation.

'and the band played waltzing Matilda' : Eric Bogle


Patriarchy and Patriots.

Men who organise and participate in mass violence rarely heal.

The Peace Movement in Northern Ireland was driven by women.


The Troubles – or the Northern Ireland conflict – was an ethno-nationalist conflict which began in the late 1960s and is generally accepted as having ended with the signing of the Good Friday Agreement in 1998. 

Fuelled by historical events, the conflict was largely political and sectarian with the main point of contention being the constitutional status of Northern Ireland. Unionists or loyalists – who were mostly Protestant – wanted to remain a part of the UK however the nationalists/republicans – who were mainly Catholic – sought a united Ireland. 3,532 people were killed during the conflict, with approximately 50,000 total casualties over the three decades. 

Women from all walks of life in Northern Ireland, in particular, played a vital role in the peace process and continued this cross-community dialogue long after the Good Friday Agreement was signed. They did everything from supporting victims of sectarian violence and victims’ families, to lobbying politicians and organising mass protests.

Isabella Tod by Victoria Subirats Figueras

Women are ‘citizens of the state, inheritors with men of all the history which enobles a nation, guardians with men of all the best life of the nation; bound as much as men are bound to consider the good of the whole; and justified as much as men are justified in sharing the good of the whole.’ – Isabella Tod














Ancient history tells us it was Cults of Wealth-as-Power which institutionalised Patriarchy to preserve and control wealth through male lineage dynastic inheritance.It was not agriculture that did this. It was not the genetics of 'Tribalism' nor was it the genetics of Alpha Male that did this because we know now that the human DNA contains no genes here dictating 'Tribalism' or Alpha Male violence.

Patriarchy is cult belief system, which curates misogyny to divide the exploited, traumatised populations.

If European and American education systems eradicated anti-Semitism and Islamophobia, there would be no place for Zionist Colonial Israel to sit at the table.

If European and American education systems eradicated Misogyny there would be no place for Alpha Males to sit at the table.

If European and American education systems eradicated Patriarchy, there would be no place for Wealth-as-Power to sit at the table as a dominating force in our society.

If European and American education systems truly honoured all our children and protected them from all avoidable harm.... what would our culture look like?


'we have pissed upon the children's fire' Mac Macartney

We need Matrianarchy and Matriots to emerge, with men as allies. Men who have de-colonised from Patriarchy and Misogyny. Women who have de-colonised from Patriarchy and Misogyny. Adults who protect the children and their future, their personhood and their shared environment, because the adults in their lives did the same for them, generation after generation. That is what true sustainability means.

This is critical for humanity as a whole.

Meeting the natural expectations of all our children, from the womb to adulthood, is the essence of a healthy human society, in every diverse form imaginable, in every language ever spoken.

natural expectations : corneilius

5 years of war in Ukraine , all that violence, corruption, death, maiming has harmed the population of children of both States.

70 Years and more of Zionist Colonial violence, violence, corruption, death, maiming has harmed the population of children of both Israeli and Palestinian peoples.

Nobody seems to be talking intelligently about this.

For most of our existence as a species....Matrianarchy.

This is true.



For most of our existence as a species, we have lived as egalitarian societies, across a spectrum of arrangements, from nomadic bands to settled communities, hunting, gardening, foraging in ways that nurtured the habitats in which we lived and thrived. For most of that time were were not engaged in a struggle for survival, we were engaged in healthy co-operative activity that allowed us to thrive as people, as persons, as large family groups, as language groups. The primary organisation of human evolution was alloparenting and what I call matrianarchy.

Alloparenting is where all the adults relate and work together to care for all the children. This generates a psychology of loving co-operation and affiliative relationships as the fundamental dynamic. It helps develop healthy emotional state self-regulation through the experience of having ones needs - emotional, physiological, social and 'economic' - met in full from birth by the whole group.

Matrianarchy is where the mothers, aunties and sisters regulate the power dynamics of the society in ways that maintain equity of power within the society. Power is shared as a responsibility. Matrianarchy is robust and playful, in that it understands our emotional being as a variable that requires modulation, attenuation so that things do not get out of hand. And therefore when adverse or abusive behaviour emerges, as can occur, for many different reasons, it must be kept in check, actively.

Social Anthropology provides a wealth data and information to support these propositions.

Then Wealth-as-Power emerged, about 11k years ago.

Wealth-as-Power as dominating force in any society occurs where a minority exploit a majority. That is traumatising and unjust. When Wealth-as-Power is more or less permanent, the traumatisation is continuous. A traumatised population is more readily divided and exploited than a healthy liberated population. A traumatised population finds it more difficult to self-regulate in healthy ways.

Wealth-as-Power Institutionalised Patriarchy to hold wealth and power away from the people, the expiated populations, through generational inheritance of male lineage and dynastic systems.

Patriarchy curated Misogyny to set boys and men against women, to disempower mothers and grand mother and aunties and to divide the exploited populations.

Patriarchy Wealth-as-Power created Militarism - organised funded mercenary violence to protect wealth, to protect and project power, to prevent exploited populations rising in solidarity to hold wealth-as-power accountable for avoidable harms not avoided, the evasion being central to wealth extraction efficiency.

Wealth-as-Power deliberately creates conditions of poverty in order to ensure a constant flow of bodies into cheap labour, which is the most efficient way to transfer wealth from the exploited population to the wealth-as-power ruling class.

Wealth-as-Power curates bigotry and institutionalises religious indoctrination systems that place hierarchy as a core, inevitable almost genetic human predisposition or characteristic. However the ubiquity of resistance says otherwise.

Matrianarchy shows us that there is a pathway towards a healthy society deeply rooted in our evolution as a species. Its most fundamental utility is healthy solidarity, accountability and shared power as a loving, bonded yet unbound responsibility towards one another.

AI, Patriarchy, Cognitive Warfare, Matrianarchy. A choice.

Artificial Intelligence is being developed from within a Wealth-as-Power Patriarchy system. Any tool is dependent on the way the user uses the tool. A shovel or a garden fork can be used to build a house or to till the land, and either can be used to kill someone and bury the body.




Choice matters.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and patriarchy intersect when automated systems adopt, repeat, and grow old social inequalities, specifically male dominance in the tech industry and historical gender biases in data and is deployed as a weapon system in combat operations and in Cognitive Warfare.

Artificial intelligence and cognitive warfare combine generative algorithms, big-data analytics, and psychological manipulation to target the human mind, erode trust, and alter behavior without using physical force.

What is Cognitive Warfare?

Cognitive warfare is an unconventional strategy that treats the human brain as a battlefield, using disinformation, artificial intelligence, and psychological manipulation to alter attitudes, behaviors, and societal cohesion without traditional kinetic combat.

Cognitive Warfare is psychological abuse. 

Cognitive warfare is the deliberate application of data to accomplish goals by influencing, degrading, or manipulating the mental processes of individuals or groups. Cognitive warfare uses psychological tactics instead of physical force. It uses lies, propaganda, and psychological operations (PSYOPs) to achieve its goals. Cognitive warfare encompasses a broad array of tactics designed to exploit cognitive biases, manipulate emotional responses, and alter the collective memory and identity of target populations. It goes beyond mere information warfare.

It should be criminalised.

Online social media is being exploited as a platform for Cognitive Warfare.

AI is being weaponised to enhance Cognitive Warfare.

Imagine an AI developed within a Matri-anarchy system? 

A social, economic and political system where power is shared as a collective responsibility. A societal system that centers the shared care of all our children as the core of a societies organisation and administration. A societal system that nurtures the shared environment into which the children will grow as adults, adults who will continue to do the same. Natural Child, Natural Society. The core theme of this blog.

Every societal system is a choice.  

Every line of computer coding is a choice.

In Patriarchy winning is always about domination at any expense to the dominated. That is always a choice.

13th Amendment to the US Constitution.

The 13th Amendment to the US Constitution is a choice. Slavery in USA’s prison system is one example.The prison system makes a profit at the expense of the imprisoned in a system that targets African Americans with long term sentences to ensure there is a substantive guaranteed workforce that can be exploited.

Sex Trafficking is a choice.

Sex Trafficking as a mult-billion dollar global operation that is ‘sucessful' is another. It is more successful than any attempts to erdiacte it. Andrew Tate is small fry in that ‘industry’, Esptein was small fry too, just aimed at a richer consumer base. The bulk of that industry is undeterred, and continuing at pace. The men who use that 'service' do so by choice.

Militarism is a choice.

I always preface any discussion on militarism with an axiom. Militarism is psychopathy institutionalised.

The Warfare of USA, Israel and its allies, of Russia and Ukraine is another example, where the shareholders of the Military Industrial Complex win, entire countries civil infrastructure is destroyed, millions of people are slaughtered, millions of people are irrevocably harmed for life, and the home populations have severe poverty issues, and where rampant misogyny, Racism and other forms of bigotry are curated as a political weapon to divide the population and prevent solidarity emerging …. so that billionaires can amass more wealth, more political power and evade accountability.

What is Patriarchy?

Patriarchy is a system of wealth-as-power where wealth was originally retained and controlled through male lineage inheritance which has developed into a global system of wealth-as-power where some women are permitted to assume the highest positions as long as they perpetuate that system of wealth extraction. Feminism seeks to dismantle that system precisely because it causes so much avoidable harm to women, to children and to men.

AI bubble?

AI is failing to deliver to its investors the kinds of profits they believed they would accrue and the Stock Market Bubble is potentially close to bursting.

I think that part of the reason behind this lack of return is that the drive to enhance AI was more about enhancing the political Power of Wealth-as-Power than it was about developing tools to help work solutions to problems we face as a culture and as humanity. The lure of the promise of useful tools for humanity was just that. A lure to investors to pump in funds so that AI proponents such as OpenAI, Grok, Google and others could gather the funding for their investment into the AI infrastructure that is necessary to enlarge cognitive warfare and battle field aspects of AI to outpace growing resistance to warfare and militarism.

The lure was a lie, the the lie is now failing to deliver the returns on investment, and the AI proponents are seeking more funding for more infrastructure which it an of itself cannot generate profits. And so the bubble is vulnerable to a burst.

However, the vast wealth that wealth-as-power holds is more than capable of absorbing that shock, wealth-as-power still controls most Western Governments at policy level, and the objective of wealth-as-power is domination at any expense to the population.

That is what Climate Disruption is showing us.

Bordeaux is being threatened by wildfires and there is no move to hold the fossil fuel shareholders and industry accountable.

Why is it that the Frence Military, roughly 115,000 active ground army personnel, alongside 47,000 reservists is not being mobilised en masse to take on the task of dealing with these wildfires?

A better choice is always available.

Imagine a society that runs as a Matrianarchy system? A social system where economic and political power is shared as a collective responsibility.

A societal system that centers the shared care of all our children as the core of a societies organisation and administration. A societal system that nurtures the shared enviornment into which the children will grow as adults, adults who will do the same.

It is possible. Every societal system is a choice.

Kindest regards

Matrianarchy - a new concept of social organisation.

Matrianarchy.



A societal model where the adults working together, share power and responsibility in the care and nurture of all the children, and of their shared environment, where children's needs are met without question.

A sustainable, evolutionarily healthy model in which the understanding of the developing brain of the baby in utero and the infant and toddler is grounded in the knowledge that healthy self regulation of emotional state is learned by direct brain-body to brain-body experientials of care, safety, nurturing and meeting needs that are entirely natural expectations of the child.

Emotional intelligence is what grounds intellectual and creative intelligence.

This is in fact the oldest model of human social organisation of all models.

It does not make biological sense that any species would evolve to present unhealthy behaviour as a norm.

Hierarchies of Wealth and Power are proven to be seriously unhealthy for the human species.

The issue is not a technological issue, it is a relationship issue.

Technology always follows the kinds of relationships prevalent in any society, in that the tools are used according to the prevailing relationship patterns.

A knife can be used to murder someone to maintain a hierarchy or it can be used to strip fibres from a plant to make threads that can be woven into clothe that keeps a person warm.

Matrianarchy.  

Where power is used collectively as a shared responsibility, to nurture the people and the shared environment.

This is the meaning of solidarity.

A brief lesson on the power of solidarity was carried out in Sweden and Norway in the 1930s, Scandinavia's high level of freedom and broadly-shared prosperity was won through nonviolent struggle that took the reins of government. 

It is also true that Wealth-as-Power will seek to claw back as much dominance as it can. Trade Unionism was diluted from the 1960s onwards, NeoLiberalism infiltrated
every aspect of Governance, Billionaires became ever more powerful, populations ever more disenfranchised. 

Today we face a rise of overt Fascism and Warfare driven entirely by the fear that Wealth-as-Power senses as more and more people become better educated on how Power is mediated and the harms associated with Wealth-as-Power as a dominating political force.

No Utopia.

I am not proposing a pathway to a Utopia, so much as suggesting that we know enough about human psychology, sociology, anthropology, economics, environmental sciences, behavioural and and trauma science to be in a much better position to build the kind of solidarity that removes Wealth-as-Power from malignantly gaming our democracies and economies to extract wealth and amass ever more political power, which is then weaponised, to guarantee Wealth-as-Power immunity and impunity where it causes avoidable harms in the pursuit of more power, and wealth-as-power, well beyond mere greed.
