Hi,
First, thanks for being part of The Spain Report family over the years—your support meant the world to me, and we did do some great reporting and analysis at times.
Now it's time for a new adventure.
While reporting on the politics, the courts, the accidents, and the pandemic of course, I was quietly making notes all along about deeper patterns I kept noticing: situations, human behaviour, reactions, motivations, how some events seemed to resonate with others, across time or scale or context.
The piles of notes built up into something bigger and have now become a robust framework for analysing human behaviour in all sorts of situations, struggles and relationships.
As far as I can see, we can apply it to any level of life. It works for your personal stuff, it works for business and negotiations, and it works for politics and societies.
It's not about Spain or about me reporting to you what is happening in some situation.
This time, it's about all of us, about me giving you a new lens, a way to see the loops we all live in, that you can then apply to your own readings of life, whether that's your own situations or what you see on the news, in any country.
I'm calling it Human Loops.
It’s about why we get stuck in the same patterns personally, why history seems to rhyme or repeat, how whole societies shift towards some new direction, and what can change when we finally see the loops we’ve been living in all this time. Once you see them, you really can’t unsee them.
It's going to take a while to explain it all, but there's more than enough for a new Substack. So if that sounds useful or interesting, jump in:
Have put up a first post here:
I am looking forward to reading your new comments!
Very best,
Matthew
