swartz no going back law: growing up i slowly had this process of realizing that all the things around me that people had told me were just the natural way things were, the way things always would be. they weren’t natural at all they were things that could be changed, and they were things that more importantly were wrong and should change. and once i realized that, there was really kinda no going back – aaron swartz

____________

1\ found a nother way for us all to live

graeber make it diff law – ‘the ultimate hidden truth of the world is that it is something we make and could just as easily make differently‘ – david graeber

2\ where we org around legit needs

swartz most important law: aaron believed that you literally ought to be asking yourself all of the time: what is the most important thing i could be working on in the world right now.. and if you’re not working on that .. why aren’t you – from taren stinebrickner-kauffman

to me: a nother way

_________

need 1st/most: means to undo our hierarchical listening to self/others/nature so we can org around legit needs

via tech as it could be.. ai as augmenting interconnectedness as nonjudgmental expo labeling

nonjudgmental expo labeling to model a nother way for 8b people to live (& to leap to)

we need a problem deep enough to resonate w/8bn today.. a mechanism simple enough to be accessible/usable to 8bn today.. and an ecosystem open enough to set/keep 8bn legit free

________

all this from our findings:

1\ undisturbed ecosystem (common\ing) can happen

2\ if we create a way to ground the chaos of 8b legit free people
