act.tv vs DIY Enlightenment sim

act.tv is a progressive media company specializing in livestreaming and digital strategy. We're creating new kinds of action-oriented media designed to advance popular and historic policies. We're especially proud of our cable news style 'Produced Virtual Livestreams' that we developed in the wake of the pandemic. These shows leverage the mass-adoption of video conferencing platforms with production values that make them much more than 'just another zoom call.' act.tv has a long track record on the cutting edge of social media cultivated through our work with movement efforts. We have partnered with all kinds of progressive thought leaders and elected officials to advance policies like Medicare For All, the Green New Deal, voting rights reforms and more. Our team is built up of experienced activists fighting to meet the movement moment we are in. We believe another world is possible but we need a better media to make it. act.tv is a project of Democrats.com, the oldest and largest independent online community of Democratic Party and progressive activists.

Enkr8ia develops cognitive tools for people who sincerely want to change but feel stuck and are dissatisfied with the endless cycle of seeking fixes. They realize that lasting change must come from within - but need help finding their Way. This sim is an interactive tool for understanding The Enlightenment Method & is used in conjunction with the DIY Enlightenment app to turn this process into action. People get stuck because they’re looking for answers in all the wrong places. To ‘know’ how does not mean to know it conceptually, but to know it as a direct and immediate experience. The solutions we’re seeking can’t be found in words, concepts or ideas. The key is understanding. To ask how, what is the technique, what are the steps and rules is to miss this point utterly. Real learning is experiential and experimental. Understanding comes when you figure it out yourself. By understanding how things are, not how you wish them to be. Our tools both inform and enable this. Tools enable you to move beyond words. Use the sim to understand why attempts to force change are illusory and to realize why the real levers for inner change are found within. Lasting change occurs deep below the surface and the one overriding concept to guide you is the notion of expanding self-awareness. Nothing is more essential; everything else that can be learnt stands in line behind it. Willpower, motivational hacks & fixes, faux positivity, manipulating your thoughts and your body are only ever short term unless there is a change in the underlying competitive balance between Fear and Desire. Lasting change cannot be forced, but it can be CULTIVATED with self-awareness.
