Honestly this is some of the best thinking and new way forward that I have read in years. I’m a 62 year young female and this couldn’t have arrived at a better time. Thank you for so generously sharing your insights, work and a new way forward. Can’t wait to hear and learn more. Thank you.
On the third attractor—ever since encountering Daniel’s work I’ve been curious about what form it could realistically take. In your H3 playbook, the core requirement seems to be an intentional metamorphosis at the individual level: becoming as capable as possible across all meaningful domains of life. From there, engaging society through generative, collaborative, education-oriented principles—more infinite game than finite. In my view, that’s accurate but it’s only part of the picture.
The challenge with focusing on individual transformation alone is that it leaves people to navigate the process in isolation or small, decentralized groups. This works for some, but given the scale of the metacrisis and the urgency of a civilizational shift, we also need collective infrastructures that accelerate development. A historical example: Nordic Folk High Schools at the turn of the 20th century. They functioned as retreat-like centers where citizens voluntarily learned together how to transition from agrarian to industrial society. The goal was not passive compliance but cultivating “co-creators of modernity”—people who could understand the world that was coming and actively participate in shaping it.
Our present transition—driven by AI and exponential technologies—demands something similar. Daniel’s framing and the playbook you’ve laid out are essential because they articulate the problems and pathways of personal development. But we also need large-scale modalities—modern equivalents of Folk High Schools, possibly “H3 centers”—that combine thought with action and give people a shared environment for building the capacities Human 3.0 requires. Education in its current form doesn’t meet this need.
I’d be interested in your take on this meso-level approach and how you see the situation playing out more broadly. Individual sovereignty is crucial, but collective accelerators may be just as necessary if we want widespread development within the narrowing window we face. Either way, it’s cool to see others engaging deeply with Daniel’s work and sketching paths forward.
Отличная идея, Кэмпбелл! Я тоже придерживаюсь подобных взглядов, только давайте не забывать, что Бильдунг или "народные университеты" возникли не вдруг и этому предшествовала большая интеллектуальная работа - сначала в Германии и позже в Скандинавии. Более того, потом возникли группы элиты, которые переложили эту концепцию на практическую основу - реализовали их. Но не везде и не всегда эта концепция приживается. Так в России конца 19-го века "народники" не нашли должной поддержки. Да и сейчас в Швеции бильдунг - это, скорее, повод для почтения светлой ностальгии, хотя есть активисты, предпринимающие настойчивые попытки возродить эту методику. Надеюсь, что подобные практики получат второе дыхание и уже мы с вами будем наблюдать их Ренессанс )
Wow, everything really speaks to me. You boil it down. However, you forgot the meta reality we live in. We are hampered by our political system.
Here is my two cents in reordering everything and giving people the right framework and impetus to do everything you propose here, excellent they may be but we need more.
This is the most comprehensive life guide I’ve ever come across. It has helped me understand where I am, the obstacles ahead, and what to do about them by illuminating and articulating the frameworks and phases of life in such a profound and clear way. Thank you, Dan, for sharing this. Thank you for the gift of clarity. More life 🥂
I had a 5 min convo and they shut it down. Tried again and they shut it down after my 1st reply. Anyone know if it's working elsewhere or do i need to pay for Claude to have it work?
Human 3.0 Dan is a nice marketing approach to get visible, fulfill your passive income goals, and an amateur attempt at complex philosophy.
The experts in this area include Richard Rudd (GeneKeys), Michael Singer (Surrender Experiment), Gregg Braden (The Divine Matrix), Yogananda (Kriya Yoga), Michael Lomax (Light energy and Shamanism)….
My partner studied with Michael, and has been qualified to teach his Gift of the Dao method which took over ten years of mentored training.
Should I keep going? How about Vedic traditions (Yoga, Diamond, and Flower Sutras), The Kabbalah, Rumi, and Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do.
You don’t know what you are talking about, are working through your own subjective experiments, and selling this to entrepreneurs who believe you.
The fact that you know how to market online does not make you an expert in this area, having not completed the journey through these modalities.
You are in the raft / shore confusion phase. That’s normal. As a beginner into these practices you need a passive income to have time to settle.
Here’s what you got wrong, why I know it’s wrong, and how people can find the answers that they desire.
The first step is to not follow Dan Koe, unless you want a popularity marketing solopreneur copywriting business.
That he’s done, he’s good at it, and I know because I was in his groups.
In specific, I wanted to include each of your claims and refute them:
Personal principles do not exist. Creative energy is an immutable field. You confused values (personal) with law and principles (constants).
Daniel Schmachtenberger’s “Metacrisis” - This is a form meaning another’s work that you don’t fully understand yet. Raft versus shore.
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s - Flow is great. He has fantastic ideas. You don’t have your own. You are a student as I was of this in the 90s.
Steven Kotler’s expansion on flow psychology - Same thing. You may want to consider only speaking about how you experience flow.
The connections to various developmental psychology models throughout the entirety of H3.0 - You are not able to do this yet.
Einstein explains. Energy is the constant. Experience within that energy is subjective. You started to learn how this works when you found Daoism.
Being in energy, release of pain inside the body, tuning yourself in the emotional field, and allowing creative energy to flow is your work.
Do the work, shut up, and learn something. Talk about marketing.
Am I a troll, or sharing my experience from experience with your audience?
My expertise is business success. I’ve created new models. My inner work goes back through not learning about but practicing Yang family Tai Chi. I no longer use the Tai Chi forms. It’s not necessary. The energy just flows.
That’s where you think that you are, but you are in fact on a raft floating in the middle of the stream, wanting to be a professor with a passive income.
Does this help or confuse people? What I found when I was doing what you are doing right now years ago was the latter. At least I wasn’t popular.

Can’t wait to learn more about this, thanks Dan
Every post from you is a game changer
You are a modern day Aristotle my friend. Really love your work

Wow amazing! Never read anything so meaningful as this. Thank you !
Love this! Will follow your journey!
Holy. Writing a piece this long and saying TLDR just use AI to summarize if you can’t hang is a power move.
😪
I had a 5 min convo and they shut it down. Tried again and they shut it down after my 1st reply. Anyone know if it's working elsewhere or do i need to pay for Claude to have it work?
Ok but if that’s Human 3.0, what’s Human 4.0?
basically the 2-hour writer on steroids. lots of information. definitely going to have to reread a few times. great piece.
