A phrase borrowed from the Bitcoin world. It reflects a mindset: instead of trying to patch broken systems, we create something better. Many of the issues we see in childhood, education, and family life are not isolated problems—they're symptoms of a system that's fundamentally misaligned with human nature. When we choose unschooling, these problems don’t need to be solved one by one. They dissolve. A more natural, respectful, and connected way of living makes them irrelevant.

AJ came up with this term after the Bitcoin Atlantis conference where we had given away hand-painted pebbles. Bitcoiners call themselves plebs, so the combo of PEBBLES & PLEBS makes up the word for our tribe members.

It’s the name of our co-working space—a playful nod to “Proof of Work” in the Bitcoin world. Just as Proof of Work shows that real energy and effort went into creating value, our space is a living example of what happens when people come together with purpose, creativity, and collaboration. It’s not just about working side by side—it’s about building something meaningful, together.

The work that parents do to unlearn what they were taught about parenting. In other words, to clear our conditioning.
