Understanding K’at/Kan: The Seed and the Net

Picture a fisherman’s net cast into cosmic waters. A godlike net catches everything—treasures, trash, truths, and lies—all tangled together in dripping abundance. This is K’at/Kan, the daysign that governs not just prosperity but the paradox of having too much.

The Maya knew this energy intimately. K’at in K’iche, Kan in Yucatec—both names carry the same warning: seeds scattered everywhere do not all grow into gardens. Some become weeds. Some rot. Some feed birds who were never meant to feast. The sign embodies life force at its most fertile and most chaotic—sexual energy, creative power, ego inflation and the eternal question of what to do when you can have everything but hold nothing.

When K’at/Kan energy ripples across the collective during its trecena, the entire world experiences this abundance paradox. We are entering one of those periods now. The Maya would recognize our current moment immediately: a civilization caught in its own net, drowning in options, choking on choices, unable to distinguish treasure from trash because we have decided to keep it all.

The AI Abundance Trap: When Every Seed Is Synthetic

We are watching K’at/Kan energy manifest through silicon and code, and it is following the classic abundance-to-overwhelm pipeline with breathtaking precision. The generative AI explosion is not just mirroring the Gartner hype cycle—it is the Net sign’s cosmic joke written in algorithms.

*rendition of Gartner Hype Cycle

Remember when AI-generated content was going to revolutionize everything? Every company scrambling to flood the zone with what we are now calling “slop”—infinite content with zero soul, endless abundance with no nutrition. The promise was pure K’at/Kan: scatter seeds everywhere, let algorithms bloom into infinite gardens of content. What we got instead was digital kudzu, choking out everything real with its synthetic overgrowth.

The Business Model of Infinite Nothing: Exhibit A: InceptionPoint AI—thousands of AI podcasts weekly, each one a seed that will never grow, existing only to catch ad revenue in the great net of monetization. Or the armada of AI influencers and dropshipped garbage drowning Amazon and Etsy. This is not creation; it is infestation. Not fertility but cancer cells multiplying without purpose, without plan, without point.

The Inversion Nobody Predicted: Here is where it gets cosmically ironic. Every previous tech revolution followed a predictable pattern: fear, understanding, adoption, integration. But AI? The more people understand it, the less they trust it. We are witnessing an inverted adoption curve—knowledge breeds contempt, not comfort. The Net sign’s wisdom manifesting: when you can have infinite content, you realize you want none of it. When every seed is synthetic, the soil itself becomes suspicious.

Platform Panic and the Pruning Response: YouTube is tightening its Partner Program like a gardener who finally noticed the weeds outnumber the flowers. They are trying to stop the slop while simultaneously building tools to create more of it—classic K’at/Kan confusion, holding the net with one hand while cutting it with the other. It is the abundance trap in corporate form: too invested in growth to stop growing, even when the growth is killing the garden.

The Great Rejection: But here is the beautiful part, the part that makes this a K’at/Kan teaching moment rather than an apocalypse: audiences are developing immunity. AI literacy is not creating adoption—it is creating antibodies. People are learning to spot the synthetic seeds, to recognize the empty abundance, to choose one real conversation over a thousand generated podcasts. The content slop’s own gravity is defeating itself, being crushed by its own excess.

What we are witnessing is K’at/Kan energy forcing a civilizational choice: Do we want infinite synthetic abundance or finite authentic connection? Do we want every possible piece of content or the few pieces that matter? The Net has caught everything possible—now we are learning what is worth keeping.

The Maya would recognize this moment immediately. It is the point in the cycle where abundance becomes poison, where having everything means valuing nothing, where the net becomes so full it tears under its own weight. The prescription is ancient but urgent: start throwing back. Start choosing. Start remembering that not every seed should be planted, not every connection needs to be made, not every piece of content deserves to exist.

The AI slop era is not the future—it is the fever before the healing, the maximum expansion before the contraction, the moment the Net sign teaches its hardest lesson: infinite abundance is indistinguishable from total poverty.

The ancient prescription was simple but brutal: Learn to let go, or be dragged under by what you refuse to release. I myself have been overwhelmed since the start of the trecena by the sheer onslaught of obligations induced by the influx of responsibilities due to technology and making it in the modern world. The ritual below has helped me regain balance.
