Introducing Intrast

I met Michael Plischke a little over a year ago. Michael lives in Vancouver and works as a landscaper for a company. That’s important because I want to point out that he’s not a business owner. He’s just a guy who saw the world going a way that he didn’t like and decided to do something about it.

What did he do? He learned to code. Not to get a job as a software developer, but to develop a fix to a problem he saw within the grassroots movements. This problem is something that I’ve written about before. The problem of information overload.

This is such a key element to the movement. As things are now, we are scattered across many social media platforms, from Discord to Slack, from Facebook to Mastodon, and many more. Between those platforms, messages get lost, translated, and twisted, and movements fizzle.

While a decentralized way of being may very well serve us better in the future, for now, what we need is a central hub of information. A place where people can connect, locally and across the globe with activists, by skills, interests, location, and more.

While this is something that other platforms certainly do well, Intrast desires to set a more official tone for its platform. Rather than a place to post memes or find a mate, Intrast was created for the sole purpose of drawing people together to present a unified message to the world that we need change. Fundamental change!

Intrast enables a community built through shared purpose and mutual interstes, providing the means for simple, yet instant connection at the swipe of a finger. Down the road, an affiliate feature is envisioned that will allow organizations the option to have one "official" source of information.

From that point, members of the community will spread that exact message to their channels, and actions will be able to be planned and carried out in a more precise and focused manner. Additionally, groups will be able to coordinate with other groups to multiply our voices until we reach a critical mass and our message cannot be denied.

As I said in the beginning, Michael does this instead of a side hustle. He’s not wealthy. He doesn’t care about getting rich, and that’s validated by there being no advertising, membership fees, upsells, or dues.

These are the kinds of people we need to be holding up and supporting the work that they do. This is what community is, and how progress is made. Nothing happens in this world without money. Michael has spent money, effort, and time investing in this, not for a job, or to get on the cover of Wired magazine. He did it because that’s the kind of person he is. He believes in our ability to create a better world and isn’t afraid to say so, and more, to take action.

This is the work that we need to support. Intrast and The Aquarius Collective are bound together with a common vision for a better future and are taking steps to bring this vision into our reality. By pre-ordering a copy of “The Human Dilemma,” you provide Michael and me the little push it takes to get projects like this into the collective consciousness.

If you believe in the human spirit and that we truly are amazing creatures, then support a cause that matters to us all, as we endeavor to make all of our voices heard. As I said before, the one thing we’re missing is unity, in spirit, in words, and in action.

Intrast's expected release date is February 18th!!!
