How to Go Invisible
This is your invitation to join a revolution, a radical revolution of American values. It is well known that revolutions do not begin with political movements or shots fired. They begin in the hearts and minds of human beings who find themselves sick and disgusted with things as they are and ready to try something altogether different. In the spirit of this heartfelt discontent and longing for a better way of life, we invite you to come along with us on a road trip like none other. This invite, the three Primer podcasts that follow, and the entire How to Go Invisible course of instruction are intended to clarify what we mean by “going invisible” and to serve as an introductory guide for new practitioners.

Poor hip has been gobbled up by the marketplace and put to work selling products. Hip commerce is an oxymoron.
Sinking deeper yet into the great wide sea of humanity, some among us discover a need to do more than just break free of econoculture’s noise and lies, liberating as that surely is. Some are called to descend deeper yet to depths of understanding where they may very well, in time and with practice, become invisible even to themselves.

Doc advises prospective invisibles to remain behind the scenes in their activism and merge their dissent with others’ whose struggles call to them.
Witnessing terrible things day after day that we can do nothing about is part of the madness of econoculture. Invisibles disengage from catastrophe overexposure and attend closely to what’s near at hand.

Getting our alienated econoculture selves re-grounded in our basic common humanity can require some painful introspection, but there are commensurate rewards.
Being unique is a gift and a curse we all share. Being special is something else altogether. Invisibles insist on not being special.
