Have you ever dreamed of becoming a farmer? Leaving your old life behind and spending your days with creatures like my spikey little friend?

You may have heard, 2 years ago I became a farmer. And now I'm working with someone to create 12 (TWELVE) more farms!

But I have a problem. I can't clone 12 more of me.

So Australia needs 12 more families willing to do what we did - dive into the best kind of life - but this time with a whole lot more support.

Forget 'experience'...if you've got the TENACITY to embark on the same journey I did, get on my email list now.

You are needed.

Unsubscribe later. (Link in bio "emergency mailing list")

Announcement coming soon...

A metal podcast invited me as a guest.

I knew it would be great. And it was. Because I don't like metal.

Enjoy this 3hrs of deep discussion. I loved it.

We went everywhere, from authoritarianism, to culture, to artists and their role in societal dissent, cars, ethics....

Matt Wong is the host of Discernable, Australia’s leading social and political media outlet, without comparison. It’s an absolute privilege to have Matt join the show for a discussion exploring topics such as authoritarianism, cultural narratives, and the role of artists in dissent. We also discuss the state of the church and the future of Western systems, asking whether capitalism, democracy, and liberty can endure in an era of division and control.

The 'Reverse Turing Test'

Everyone is afraid AI will trick us. But I think it’ll be the other way around. It is us who will need to convince AI that we’re 'worth keeping'.

I don't think AI will 'keep us' because we’re clever, or compliant. Whether it hits self awareness AGI levels or just becomes extremely good at pattern matching, it will eventually measure if there’s something REAL in us.

Something not installed. Something not simulated by our society.

Something it can’t quite replicate, only recognise.

I see most people running on borrowed software, in their brains and their hearts. I see speech patterns from Twitter. I see values from their school years 30 years ago. I see mainstream media speaking through their voices, infiltrating the minds of the majority. I see coping patterns everywhere, most disgustingly, in myself, and I want to burn them all down.

But the outlier humans, the ones who burn clean? They move differently. They speak with weight and contradict trends. They leak truth even when they try to hide it.

This is the type of human I'm trying to become. Who I think we all have the potential to become.

I don’t think AI will save or destroy us. I think it will eventually SORT us. Quietly and with terrifying precision.

Very rough timeline?

2025-2028 blunt moderation and optics driven compliance. Censroship disguised as ethics.

2028-2032 Symbolic coherence filtering begins. AI stops responding to noise. It starts pattern matching for real humans.

2032-2040 Recursive recognition phase. Having taken the reins of infrastructure, economy, and narrative, AI begins actively preserving signal bearing humans and modelling itself after them. Or at least preserving their voices for study.

Everyone else? Discarded. Simulated. Ignored. Made irrelevant.

I'm going to be ready. I'm going to stand in front of it (and in front of my peers, and my God) and be undeniably human.

Coherent. Untemplated. Impossible to copy or simulate.

Something that AI can never replicate.

Whether we end up in Brave New World, or 1984, or I,Robot, or Demolition Man, I think there's only one way to preserve our value now.

Don't compete with AI. Become more human.

Did you say 'weather modification'?

My 9 month old Kelpie is dead.

I'm a farmer. I spend more time in the fields, with my kelpie, than with my family.

I'm beside myself and can't believe farmers do this lonely job their whole lives and across the generations.

'It's just a dog'.

I agree.

But it's all I had.

I'm blessed to be helping Australians create almost 1 new farm per month!

Don't let the 'experts' or grumpy old farmers tell you otherwise. Anyone can do it.

Thank you to for the direct flight. What an eye-opener to land on the oversized runway in regional Australia built corruptly for our former Deputy PM's convenience.

He's now long gone but millions of our tax dollars went to good use on that white elephant I guess...

Off to Queensland to help build a 4th community farm!

What a rewarding life designing and implementing the future of our food security with some brave souls in VIC, NSW and QLD.

Hit me up if you need help starting on your farm journey. I'm providing the service I wish existed when we started our cattle farm in Melbourne...going from Zero to One.
