The seven sutras
Each sutra is a question, a practice, an intention. The sutras are a framework, with seven guiding principles for navigating a world that keeps moving the goalposts. Used on ourselves, it's a compass. An awareness tool for staying conscious and balanced, for choosing our north star at any given moment. Used on a room, it's a shared language. A translator for understanding each other's moods, beliefs, motivations, and boundaries.
The mindset is rooted in radical honesty, natural empathy, and the idea that playing infinite games is much smarter than playing finite games. Seven commandments for a world gone bombastic, fostering curiosity, humility, respect, trust, and joy. In other words: long-term peace and happiness.

Why seven? I didn't pick seven. I noticed seven. Seven distinct points of view that keep emerging, seven action verbs that drive core human behaviors. The eighth is an anomaly, a specific failure of the BLOWsutra mode, about a dumb duck dead set on dismantling democracy for nothing but finite, puerile aims. I call that one QUACKsutra.
Sub-sutra of BLOWsutra · not one of the seven core lanes
QUACKsutra isn't a sutra in the same sense as the seven above, it's a BLOWsutra sub-sutra, but it still spans a large songbook and speaks directly to real, urgent issues. It deserves its own block, kept last so the core compass stays clear.
