The Story His Editor Would Not Let Him Publish | Gabriel 'Orpheus' Harrison
Description
What Happens When the Story You're Reporting Is the Story You're Not Allowed to Tell?
Gabriel Harrison was 30, working as a journalist in Tunisia, and had been handed the story that would end his career. It described a specific mechanism operating across North Africa in the years after Gaddafi's fall, one whose implications did not align with the version of that region most Western audiences had been given.
His editor said the story was "not relevant to Libya."
He understood immediately what that meant. Three months later he quit.
Two years of a dark night of the soul followed. Then he moved to South America to join what he was told was an autonomous community, which turned out to be a sophisticated scam whose leaders are now being searched for by Interpol.
Gabriel is known online as Orpheus. He crossed 65,000 Instagram followers in four weeks by saying, publicly, the things he had spent years being told he could not. He is the founder of Aquari, a bioresonance jewelry brand backed by peer-reviewed cell research.
He is a student of Rupert Sheldrake's work on morphic resonance and formative causation. He thinks seriously about what he calls the fork between transhumanism and ultrahumanism, and whether the next chapter of human civilization merges us with machine systems or takes us in the opposite direction entirely.
Topics include:
- What two years after Gaddafi actually looked like from the ground
- The story his editor would not let him publish
- Belonging to yourself at 33
- The autonomous community in Paraguay and the four-year legal battle it produced
- Transhumanism vs ultrahumanism
- Morphic resonance and the hundredth monkey
- Why attention is currency, and most people are spending it without knowing.
