The wave is here. This issue explores what that means for those who have been quietly preparing — why this moment calls for Energy Surfing, sovereign identity, and the courage to paddle out. Plus a new blog post, a live Weird Event, and an open door into the Activation Hub.
You know who you are,
Fair warning: this one is long. Longer than usual.
I considered cutting it. But everything in here is connected — and the connection is the point. So instead of making it shorter, I'm making it easier to navigate. Below you'll find a quick map of what's inside. You don't have to read it all at once. Read what calls you. Come back to the rest.
What's inside this issue:
- Why AI amplifies what's already running — fear or sovereignty
- The Energy Surfing class and why now is the time
- The Duck book and why it lands differently in this moment
- A new blog post: The Sovereign Human
- This week's Weird Event — today, Thursday, April 9 at 11 AM PST
- The Census of the New World — 3 minutes, anonymous
Ready? Let's go.

The last few weeks, I have been reflecting on how AI is changing the way we grow, improve, and create. How we deepen the skills we already have. How we learn new ones. And, how we finally hand over the tasks that no longer deserve our energy or our time.
Are there risks? Are there negative effects? Absolutely. Like every invention, AI can be used for good or for harm.
In the paradigm we still live in — and within the belief systems many people still operate from — AI will also amplify the actions of those who are disconnected from their soul. Those whose hunger is fed by money, by fame, by power earned at someone else's expense — not because they are bad people, but because a suppressed ego cannot find its way back.
And when the ego cannot reconnect, the soul stays out of reach. You may sense your mission. But what you sense will be shaped by your belief system — not lived as it was meant to be.
The difference now is the scale. The speed. The reach. The possibilities.
But that same amplification applies to the good. It applies to those who want to contribute to a world we actually want to live in. To become human beings, we can be proud of being.
And here is what gives me hope.
Some of us have quietly been preparing for this moment for a very long time. We have not been standing on the beach unaware. We have been watching the water, studying the patterns, and learning how to paddle. We are not new to this wave. The question is whether we choose to paddle out and ride it — or remain on the shore and risk being overwhelmed by the force of what is already here.
If we ride it, we can step off the board when the wave breaks. Rest. Breathe. Make a plan for the next one.
Writing this, I was reminded of the EnergySurfing I created years ago. At the time, it was already true. But now it feels as if the whole concept was made for this exact moment. If you have not yet learned how to Energy Surf, now is the time. And without any big commitment, you can access the class for inside The Web of Weird. As I write this, and as I keep seeing what is happening in the world, I feel even more strongly why it is still there.
But interestingly, this was not actually what I planned to write about today.
The insight that really opened up for me this week came through a podcast — and I am deeply grateful it was shared with me, because it brought me even further back in time. Back to my Duck book. Known by my Swedish audience as Free Bird Fly.
What is explored there works on the micro level of life. But reading it — or listening to it — now, in this moment, may create an even bigger and more profound shift in perspective than it ever could have before.
And this is where the wave gets interesting.
Because AI isn’t the wave. AI is the amplifier of whatever is already running underneath the surface. Fear or sovereignty. Extraction or contribution. Control or evolution. And the more I sat with that, the more I realized I had accidentally written the personal preface to the deeper point I actually want to share with you today.
So here is the piece I originally planned to lead with—because it names the structure beneath the noise:
The question dominating public conversation about AI is the wrong one. We keep asking how to make AI more human — when the real crisis is that we are trying to humanize AI inside a system that was never humane to begin with.
Drawing on Karen Hao's Empire of AI and twenty‑five years of mapping human transformation through the LifeSpider System™, this post follows the evolution of extraction logic, narrative control, and the suppression of difference. It shows how the same patterns I identified in Are You Stuck With a Duck? at the individual and organizational level now operate across civilization.
The Duck Pond and the AI empire are the same organism. Only the size differs.
The solution is not technical. It is architectural — a shift in the human operating system itself, from suppressed identity to sovereign existence. This is the transition I call Ego Evolution, and it is the prerequisite for building any future that genuinely serves humanity.
The Weird Ones — the nonconformists, the systems thinkers, the polymaths who refuse to call extraction innovation — are not optional in this moment. They are the immune system. And AI, for all its disruption, may be the most important mirror humanity has ever held up to itself.
The question it reflects back is one we can no longer avoid:
What does it mean to be human? And are we willing to find out?
NEW BLOG POST
The Sovereign Human: Why You Can't Humanize AI Inside an Inhumane System
The Sovereign Human explores why you can’t “humanize AI” inside an inhumane system—and how dignity, sovereignty, and consciousness must lead.
If you want the lowest-cost doorway (and the AI coaches)
If you want the simplest doorway: Energy Surfing + Are You Stuck With a Duck? + the Epithet Exercise live as a member feature inside The Web of Weird. For $8/month — cancel anytime — you get access to all three, so you can explore at your own pace and follow the wave you're actually on.
A practical note: everything inside works. The classes are there. The Epithet Exercise is there — the one that helps you find the words that actually name who you are, not who your belief system told you to be. The AI coaches are there too — one specially trained for each. The community space is there. It is not crowded yet, which honestly means you can move through it without noise or distraction. No big launch moment. No pressure. Just a working space, waiting for the right people to use it.
If that's you, the door is open.
THIS WEEK'S WEIRD EVENT
Today, Thursday, April 9, at 11:00 AM PST
A Weird Event for those who were never built for linear success
What if failure is not proof that something is wrong with you?
What if it is part of how your mind learns, adapts, sharpens, and evolves?
For many Weird Ones, “failure” has never really meant the end. It has meant redirection. Feedback. Friction. Refinement. It has trained us to think differently, build differently, recover differently, and keep moving when others would stop. And yet, because the world measures progress through linear timelines, fixed plans, and conventional outcomes, many of us have been taught to judge ourselves too early.
But maybe that judgment was never ours to carry.
˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗ In this gathering, we will explore failure from The Weird Ones’ perspective — not as weakness, but as a strange and often misunderstood force that may be shaping our resilience, our intelligence, and our way forward.
3-MIN SURVEY
The "New World" is already being mapped—but a piece is missing.
I’ve been looking at the early data from our Census of the New World, and the patterns emerging from "The Weird Ones" in my network are fascinating.
We often hear that AI is here to replace us. The data says otherwise.
Here is what the early "First Look" tells us:
- The "Thinking Partner" Shift: Most of you aren't using AI for mindless tasks. You’re using it as a high-level Reflective Partner—for journaling, deep-work feedback, and navigating complex thoughts.
- The Clarity Gap: While many use AI for personal clarity, over 40% of professional coaches are still in the "curious but haven't integrated" phase. A massive bridge is being built right now.
- The Sacred Red Line: There is one thing the data shows AI will never replace for us: The need for true human connection and the feeling of being deeply seen by a community.
The Map is incomplete. To truly understand how our "Weird" collective is evolving, I need your lens. Whether you are an Architect, a Bridge, or a Seeker—your perspective is the missing piece.
HELP ME FINISH THE MAP (Anonymous & Fast):
I’m looking for more input from "The Weird Ones" before I release the full report.
You know who you are.
And I know who you are too. That is not nothing. We have been building something together — slowly, sometimes quietly, sometimes in ways that didn't look like building at all. But here we are. And what is coming next feels different. More alive. More ready.
I am genuinely excited for what we are walking into together. Not because everything is figured out. But because the right people are in the room. And you are one of them.
Until next time,
Birgitta
