How Synthetic Systems Became the New Architecture of Human Connection. Human isolation did not emerge accidentally. It was engineered gradua
The world is more technologically connected than ever in 2026, yet many of us feel a strange, quiet emotional distance. In our latest blog post, Kimathi looks closely at the rising economic pressures in Kenya, the exhaustion of constant digital performance, and how "compassion fatigue" is quietly changing us. How do we fight this emotional chill? By returning to the heart of our shared humanity. Read "Why Humanity Feels Colder in 2026" on our village blog today and join the conversation on reclaiming the true philosophy of Ubuntu. 🌍✨ Read more: ubuntuvillageusa.org
Technology Transforming Family Life in India: Why Families Feel More Distant Than Ever
Technology transforming family life in India is not a loud disruption. It doesn’t arrive with a single moment you can point to. It slips in quietly—between routines, inside habits, beneath attention—until one day, nothing looks broken, and yet something feels missing. The television is on, but no one is really watching. A familiar living room—someone scrolling, someone typing, someone tapping. A…
Technology gave us the dream of a cocooned future. Now we’re living it.
I remember back around 1990, when psychedelics philosopher Timothy Leary first read Stewart Brand’s book The Media Lab, about the new digital technology center MIT had created in its architecture department. Leary devoured the book cover to cover over the course of one long day. Around sunset, just as he was finishing, he threw it across the living room in disgust. “Look at the index,” he said, “of all the names, less than 3% are women. That’ll tell you something.”
He went on to explain his core problem with the Media Lab and the digital universe these technology pioneers were envisioning: “They want to recreate the womb.” As Leary the psychologist saw it, the boys building our digital future were developing technology to simulate the ideal woman — the one their mothers could never be. Unlike their human mothers, a predictive algorithm could anticipate their every need in advance and deliver it directly, removing every trace of friction and longing. These guys would be able to float in their virtual bubbles — what the Media Lab called “artificial ecology” — and never have to face the messy, harsh reality demanded of people living in a real world with women and people of color and even those with differing views.
For there’s the real rub with digital isolation — the problem those billionaires identified when we were gaming out their bunker strategies. The people and things we’d be leaving behind are still out there. And the more we ask them to service our bubbles, the more oppressed and angry they’re going to get. No, no matter how far Ray Kurzweil gets with his artificial intelligence project at Google, we cannot simply rise from the chrysalis of matter as pure consciousness. There’s no Dropbox plan that will let us upload body and soul to the cloud. We are still here on the ground, with the same people and on the same planet we are being encouraged to leave behind. There’s no escape from the others.

Digital isolation v Digital exile
A snippet from some correspondence with a dear friend:
Ooh, sounds like a blog post in the making – ‘digital isolation v digital exilein a digital world hurtling towards “technological Singularity”‘. Perhaps the government needs a change management plan…
