Guerrilla interviews on slurry futures, tactical optimism, and why you should never pray for a deluge.

I went to Vibe Camp 2025 with a laptop harness and a USB mic, looking for impromptu conversations with anyone willing to be recorded. What emerged is a cross-section of how some very online people are thinking about our weird futures.

I present to you: six frameworks from the ground at Vibe Camp.

Topics include:
• The coming evolution of humanity into an amorphous slurry
• Why you need to do more offsites with people you love
• The bait-and-switch of the social contract
• Complexity inflation and the need for a human-centered internet
• The Promethean vs. Titanocratic dynamic
• What kinds of futurisms age best
