What is a Nervous System Hacker?

The nervous system will do anything to survive. Almost anything. It won’t lie.

It can’t.

The raison d’être of the autonomic nervous system is to keep us alive, with one of its core tasks being to tell safe from unsafe.

Contemporary society rests on a fallacy of safety, which means silencing the screams of the nervous system and, when that inevitably fails, pathologizing them.

In questions of allegiance, mine is to nature. Mine and yours.

Hackers break the rules. They ignore walls. Nervous System Hacker is an act of resistance against the body-mind split, a rejection of the ideological wall that keeps us locked away from our own instincts.

NOUN

And the brutal indictment of society that follows from it…

If our autonomic nervous systems are sounding the alarm, we are not, in fact, safe.
