Vegafjord oakframer

Trying to make a worldview which I call the oakframe. I am very interested in democratic confederalism as envisioned by Abdullah Öcalan.

    Corporations are part of a structure of might which is called the machine. The machine consists of beatlings where each beatling is the authorities of a geographic area. Corporations sets up veins to the beatling and ensures it is beating, in exchange the beatling gives authority to the corporation. Thus there is a symbiosis between beatlings and corporations.

    I believe we should move away from the machine towards horizontally run societies for instance through democratic confederalism. By doing this, we would move away from overproduction, natural slaughter, superficial needs, overexploitation, hierarchy, alienation, and towards natural closeness, the meaningful and connectedness.

    The purpose of the machine is not to serve us, but to uphold itself and expand, but the only thing standing in its way is… People. So it creates mechanisms to encourage hierarchical thinking, subordination, coldness, distrust, fear, division, narrow mindedness and dehumanization.

    When we horizontalize, people will be attracted to these new societal structures and abandon the machine. Thus removing the existential threats to humanity.





  • Ads are supposed to target our cognitive unconscious.

    Think about a car advertisement. Its not supposed to make you buy the car, it’s supposed to make you aware of the car and what it represents. Its mass imposition of a dezired emotional connection to the producers and that which they promote.

    They are conditioning us through imposition.

    And you know that the masses are bombarded with it, so you know the overton window is shifted towards corporations. Anyone could challenge such an imposition, but it is not a single one, but thousand upon thousand.

    Society are conditioned by capital through imposition.

    When we see an imposition, we can either let it condition us or react to it.

    By reacting, we entertain their framing which can make the imposition more effective.



  • You are right in challenging the words that I’m using. The oakframe is highly experimental, and so there will be words that ends up not getting traction. It is part of the process. It’s similar to how you have to allow yourself make mistakes when trying to do a new waxt. Flawlessness prevents growth.

    I think that the word “waxt” has potential; It is culturally rooted in Old English, and works in norwegian as the word “vekst”. Words like these are easy to translate and keeps their poetic nature because the images of the words are universal and all languages has these images.

    Thank you for your suggestions! Right now, I’m just posting a little bit everywhere to increase the exposure in different communities and see what resonates. It would be good to have a place to post, but what I really need is honest feedback.





  • I made the oakframe in an attempt to loken Gaja. It’s a project focusing particularily on the role of the language in how we bring about transformative change, for example through relighting and sighsteer. The question that the oakframe asks us is; How do we move our attention away from the destructive towards lokening.

    The oakframe sais Gaja is unwell because of structures of migth which we call the machine, but it also sais that this machine is socially constructed, and so we have the change force to dissolve these structures. The construction of the machine happens through our language and how the language paints our world.

    I don’t have an official spot for posting about the oakframe right now, because I’m still in the discovery process. I’m also primarily developing it in norwegian.
