from their about page:
What if working together for the good of all was the most common business model? Watch, as several organizations strive towards building a more cooperative future. By putting humanity before the bottom line, they are finding their place in an economy previously dominated by profits and big business.
Running Time: 85 minutes
r: this is about actually getting the world to work
j: we’re in transition now.. people feel that in their bones.. we need to figure out how to align the human econ w the principles and patterns that tend to operate in all living systems..
ie: undisturbed ecosystem via augmenting interconnectedness
oikos (the economy our souls crave).. ‘i should say: the house shelters day-dreaming, the house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace.’ – gaston bachelard, the poetics of space
j: that’s the essence of it.. so the challenge is to kind of figure out how to change the engines on the plane while we’re keeping the plane in the air
facil daily curiosity ie: cure ios city.. via tech as it could be..
3 min – g: what if we were able to really build the foundations of a cooperative world.. what would it look like
how we gather in a space is huge.. need to try spaces of permission where people have nothing to prove to facil curiosity over decision making.. because the finite set of choices of decision making is unmooring us.. keeping us from us.. ie: whatever for a year.. a legit sabbatical ish transition
g: talking about changing the whole system.. that’s what this is about..
i wish – go deeper.. not part\ial.. for (blank)’s sake .. there’s a nother way
g: start small but also think big
ginorm small ness
4 min – ie: red victorian – san fran, co living hotel, 20 rooms
let’s try colorado (or wherever) .. 115 rooms.. rp ness
be you house ness
jessy kate schingler: we’re aiming to serve the modern nomadic creative pop.. so stay 1 night.. 1 month.. indefinitely.. cooperatively run
8 min – jessy: a container where you walk thru the door and we say.. the rules are diff in here.. you do have a say in things.. it’s a big experiment
perhaps let’s try/code money (any form of measuring/accounting/people telling other people what to do) as the planned obsolescence.. where legit needs are met w/o money.. till people forget about measuring..again.. ie: sabbatical ish transition
9 min – r: first learned of cooperation as a musician.. way musicians rehearse (w/o conductor) is thru grunts or eye contact or grimaces
r: being able to really listen to the other person.. all three of them in fact (chamber music)
begs mech to really listen to every voice.. every day.. ie: as it could be.. to undo our hierarchical listening to self/others/nature so we can org around legit needs
there’s a legit use of tech (nonjudgmental exponential labeling) to facil the seeming chaos of a global detox leap/dance.. the unconditional part of left-to-own-devices ness.. for (blank)’s sake.. and we’re missing it
9 min – borealis string quartet – reminicent of life.. it’s communicating
10 min – sole food street farms – vancouver – 35 employees – 1/5 acres of urban land – was a parking lot
11 min – we felt a great need on the downtown east side.. potential work and healing aspect – 5 farms – we had to create w/in these boxes and entire ecosystem.. imperfect.. but has potential
14 min – it’s not very often down here.. because you’re pretty rough around the edges.. that you get to care/nurture for something
two goals.. social and agri.. social first – community .. reason to get up in the am
16 min – a lot of people on east side are great people.. they just don’t think they are worth the puddle they are stepping in
fighting for space et al
i’ve been a heroin addict for 20 yrs.. i battle w addiction.. and it didn’t matter to them.. like.. i had track marks.. it didn’t matter .. i wasn’t being judged
unconditional ness
what we haven’t yet tried/seen: the unconditional part of left to own devices ness
17 min – j: what we see emerging is what we call a generative economy.. in simple terms.. our bodies have been and continue to regenerate.. so we’re sustainable because we’re regenerating.. and the whole uni works that way
generative ness
undisturbed ecosystem: ‘in undisturbed ecosystems ..the average individual, species, or population, left to its own devices, behaves in ways that serve and stabilize the whole..’ –Dana Meadows
we see it everywhere (by those) who have no theoretical framework in mind.. they inuit it.. that’s why i’m confident it’s an emergent property
emergence ness
18 min – london brewing co op.. 5 worker-owners
19 min – g: i think people want to be in on big decisions that matter.. structuring that can be tricky.. we have to learn that it doesn’t come naturally – co op is 1 person/vote structure.. not $1/vote.. so no need for president et al
again.. how we gather in a space is huge.. need to try spaces of permission where people have nothing to prove to facil curiosity over decision making.. because the finite set of choices of decision making is unmooring us.. keeping us from us..
decision ness
22 min – we’re not taught to cooperate/trust.. just think of all the board games we play when we’re kids
trust ness
when everyone has an equal voice.. it can be difficult to reach a consensus.. basically human interaction is hard esp when there’s not a hierarchy saying.. i’m the manager
doesn’t have to be..
ie: undisturbed ecosystem
public consensus always oppresses someone(s) .. and today we can go beyond that.. beyond decision making.. to curiosity
22 min – cooperation to me means deciding on those goals together..
could work if goals are big/deep enough to resonate w all of us .. today.. otherwise.. back to the – this is hard – ness
ie: imagine if we listened to the itch-in-8b-souls 1st thing everyday & used that data to connect us (tech as it could be.. ai as augmenting interconnectedness)
23 min – where do we find more people..
this is why it has to be all of us from the get go –
humanity needs a leap.. to get back/to simultaneous spontaneity .. simultaneous fittingness.. everyone in sync..
legit freedom will only happen if it’s all of us.. and in order to be all of us.. has to be sans any form of measuring, accounting, people telling other people what to do
33 min – sensorica – hardware in an open way – decentralizing access to micro world – 10% of market price
http://www.sensorica.co/home/about-us
42 min – loomio.. new zealand.. 100 000 members.. used by red victorian
sensorica captures all contributions to decide how to share back
ugh
52 min – thorncliffe community market/park – mothers
58 min – r: maybe there is no reward when cooperation works well
indeed
59 min – michael abelman: farms like the great equalizer
m: it’s important enough that it has to include more people
indeed.. has to be everyone
1:02 – music allows you to have a diff convo..
1:03 – j: on return on capital..
g: we have to go beyond profit making..
1:06 – j: we’ve known for decades that if you circulate money and materials in a local econ you get these multiplier effects.. by circulating money, materials, info in a local econ .. you’re going to be more in alignment with the regenerative process that actually run.. its the way the world works
not so man..
world/regen works sans money.. sans any form of measuring, accounting, people telling other people what to do
1:07 – beer coop – we need resources time money..
1:09 – j: this has nothing to do w socialism vs capitalism.. this is how real system in the real world work.. and that’s physics and biology and energy
not with any form of measuring, accounting, people telling other people what to do
everything is energy.. this is the way it works from a tornado to boiling water in a pot to insects to entire ecosystems.. to the human body/consciousness.. to the entire universe itself is a learning system..
what the world needs most: the energy of 8b alive people.. any form of m\a\p is a cancerous distraction to human energy
has to be everyone or *that dance won’t dance
*undisturbed ecosystem: ‘in undisturbed ecosystems ..the average individual, species, or population, left to its own devices, behaves in ways that serve and stabilize the whole..’ –Dana Meadows
impact econ summit – and nasa prizes et al.. with value accounting.. log contributions and prized is shared according to contribution
ugh
1:11 – michel: clear to me this is the way to go
1:13 – when you free people economically.. they’re free
yeah.. let’s just do that.. for everyone
ie: a nother way; short bp; .. a sabbatical ish transition
1:15 – michael: we need more people
be you.
