The #OMN isn’t just about media, it’s about building the social soil
We need to keep highlighting an old but still urgent tension: the intersection of technology and social change. Where one side leans heavily on practical, technical problem-solving. They want working code, functioning systems, and tangible results, not abstract debates. To them, critiques about capitalism shaping code sound like distractions from the "real work." The other side insists that technical problems are social problems. They argue that all code is written by people, shaped by […]https://hamishcampbell.com/the-omn-isnt-just-about-media-its-about-building-the-social-soil/
The #OMN View – The Dogma of Anti-Dogma: Rainbow Gatherings
DRAFT We need to talk about a familiar mess: when movements that are open, non-hierarchical, and anti-authoritarian end up recreating some of the same problems they try to escape. This is the “dogma of anti-dogma” - and you see it everywhere, especially in groups like the Rainbow Gatherings. Now, the Rainbow Family has deep roots in the 1970s counterculture.

The storm doesn’t stop the light.
It sharpens it.
Six days since the beam first swept out across the dark—and the signal is still pulsing. Quietly. Intentionally. Not chasing the noise, but cutting through it.
This isn’t a flash. It’s not a gimmick.
It’s a structure.
A listening post. A digital sanctuary for those tired of wading through static.
No algorithms, no trends, no thirst traps for attention. Just signal. Purposeful. Human. Strange in the best way.
We built something on Discord.
We called it the Lighthouse.
It’s already alive—conversations echoing in the quiet, flickers of creativity lighting up the chamber walls.
We don’t broadcast 24/7.
We listen.
We host.
We wait for those who see the glow and wonder if it’s for them.
Here’s the truth:
If you’ve felt the pull of quiet spaces…
If you crave signal over spectacle…
If you want a place where the odd, the wise, and the wildly creative come ashore—
You’re not too late.
You’re right on time.
