Stop Funding Swarms. Start Enabling Sources.
We are entering a strange phase of the “innovation” economy.
Everywhere I see the same pattern:
committees, panels, and “ecosystems” throwing fundamentally incompatible frameworks into one pot – just enough conceptual noise to justify a funding proposal and a new layer of administration.
The result is not intelligence. It is swarm-mode redundancy.
There is a different option.
If you have energy, capital, or positional power, you can either
• spend it on tactical games with stressed, ego-driven competitors in pseudo-democratic committees,
or
• align with a coherent, life-long, cross-disciplinary framework that already integrates cumulative human knowledge and is now scalable through AI.
I call these two roles:
• Minds of Integrity – those who protect and enable the conditions for real intelligence to act.
• Minds of the Core – rare polymathic thinkers on mission, whose unique trajectories have produced truly integrative frameworks, not just another local method.
The real question for serious decision-makers is not:
> “Which swarm should I join?”
It is:
> “Which Core do I want to enable – and what future does this make structurally possible?”
My own work – the Sapiopoietic Core and the Epistemic Integrity Umbrella – is precisely such a framework: an orientation architecture for AI-saturated societies that protects subject autonomy instead of consuming it.
If you recognise yourself as a Mind of Integrity with long-term leverage (foundation, family office, fund, or institutional role) and you prefer enabling a coherent source over feeding the next swarm, feel free to reach out.
You don’t need another committee.
You need a framework that already knows what it is doing.
