How much of your life do you actually control?

I’m Jason Gregg, an author and social critic, and that question is at the heart of The Moot Tree.

We live in a world where it’s remarkably easy to hand over responsibility — to governments, corporations, technology, experts and systems we barely understand.

The Moot Tree is about taking some of that control back.

Not by breaking laws, rejecting government or dropping out of society, but by becoming more capable, more resilient and less dependent.

Each episode explores practical ways to do that — through food, money, energy, technology, community, democracy and critical thinking. We’ll question some things we’ve learned to accept and, more importantly, ask what ordinary people can actually do about them.

This isn’t left wing or right wing. It isn’t about anger, rebellion or sovereign citizen legal theories.

It’s about personal sovereignty through responsibility — accepting challenges, making better choices and taking greater control of the things we can change.

Because perhaps the most powerful kind of independence is simply becoming harder to control because we’ve become more capable.

Welcome to The Moot Tree.

Think Freely. Live Deliberately.


]]> episodic no Jason Gregg jasonagregg@pm.me false full Democracy Is More Than Voting Democracy Is More Than Voting Jason Gregg Democracy shouldn’t begin and end at the ballot box. Democracy Is More Than Voting challenges listeners to become active participants rather than frustrated spectators. In this episode we explore how meaningful influence often begins close to home—within neighbourhoods, councils and community organisations. Instead of simply complaining about decisions, listeners are encouraged to understand issues, contact representatives, consider opposing viewpoints and contribute practical solutions. The episode introduces simple challenges for becoming more involved locally while resisting political tribalism. Its message is straightforward: strong democracies require capable, informed citizens who participate, contribute and take responsibility—not merely people who vote and wait for government to act.

The Dependency Trap explores how reliance on technology, supermarkets, utilities, income and services can leave us vulnerable when something fails. Rather than rejecting modern life, Jason Gregg offers a practical roadmap for building greater resilience. Listeners create a personal Dependency Map covering food, money, energy, information and skills, then identify one weakness and begin improving it. Through small challenges—building emergency savings, learning practical skills, reclaiming wasted time and creating alternatives—the episode shows how greater capability creates options, reduces stress and restores control.
