@care_save and I are putting together a series of conversations to be called **Transmuting the Trumpocalypse** : _Reclaiming Power in a Memetic Warzone_, which will use as its starting point an essay series she has written (and we are currently editing for publication in Metapsychosis) called “Liberating Trump, Liberating All.”

The plan is to release these essays in three “tranches,” corresponding to three live conversations, which she will host and I will co-facilitate. We will record and broadcast these, invite fellow humans (and one or two [bots](https://www.infiniteconversations.com/t/meet-cthulhubot-mythic-avatar-of-the-post-human-chthulucene/1429)) to participate, and try to set the stage for a generative dialogue that can lead to mutually desired outcomes.

**I am open to continuing the conversations** past the first three sessions, bringing in additional voices, until we’ve exhausted the subject. To this end, _I invite contributions_ of essays, songs, poems, podcasts, ritual acts (such as exorcisms or auric cleansing), integral action plans, or any other manner of clearing our minds, hearts, souls, bodies, social spaces, intimate spheres—the whole cosmic confectionary of [recursive donuts](https://www.infiniteconversations.com/t/torus-time-space-and-themes-of-history-a-doughnutology/1420) of transembodied consciousness we are—of this peculiar political poison.

What’s _post_ post-truth? How can we _evolve_, really? What appears through the looking glass of our ubiquitous screens? What could we add to the meta-conversation?

Here’s a review of some recent writing on this topic:

> **[Advice From Around the World in the Trump Age](https://www.truthdig.com/articles/advice-from-around-the-globe-in-the-age-of-trump/)**
>
> Three books, including one by authors who have battled authoritarianism worldwide, bring together essays and letters on how to navigate our society.

It might be interesting to revisit our [Thoughts on the Election](https://www.infiniteconversations.com/t/thoughts-on-the-election/814) thread for inspiration.

I wonder what remains relevant—what still needs to be thought through or metabolized—to manifest creatively, affect the field, and go on with our lives?

Worth checking out [https://horizonstate.com/](https://horizonstate.com/) and maybe interviewing Skella, Jacoby or Hames from Centre for the Future. Although, not that I have the time to do it ☹
