I am very happy about this presentation, an introduction to the basics of the commons and commoning, but also a historical review, and the presentation of a very likely future scenario: * How did the commons, as a perpetual human practice and institution adapt to increasing complexity of societal arrangements. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ES-S4OETCmSkIu1wjYYEhnuzsDLtHbMX/view?ts=6863ff6d… Think of it this way: – hunter-gathering societies have kinship-based commons, up to the tribal or federated level – agricultural societies have resource-based commons – industrial societies have social commons – digital societies develop digital commons However, more integrated societies are moving towards integrated, ‘phygital’ commons, which combine elements of resource, social, and knowledge commons. This gets us to cosmo-localism, ‘under construction’ as we speak. If you like it, thanks for sharing and spreading!

notes/quotes:

(just one quote for now.. he goes into much more detail on what commons is.. along with other stuff mentioned above.. but since i don’t resonate with this defn.. this is all i’m pointing out.. makes everything else mute ish to me)

5 min – when community has capacity to create own rules.. self govern.. nature is not commons.. to have a commons you need a human community that governs the resource.. eventually in collab with other living beings.. but it has to be a self conscious decision to manage an ecosystem or resource

oooof.. to me can’t have the dance with any governing ness.. because then can’t get to root of problem

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 measuringaccountingpeople telling other people what to do

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: imagine if we listen to the itch-in-8b-souls 1st thing everyday & use that data to connect us (tech as it could be.. ai as augmenting interconnectedness)

the thing we’ve not yet tried/seen: the unconditional part of left to own devices ness.. no governing

[‘in an undisturbed ecosystem ..the individual left to its own devices.. serves the whole’ –dana meadows]

there’s a legit use of tech (nonjudgmental exponential labeling) to facil the seeming chaos of a global detox leap/dance.. to facil the thing we’ve not yet tried: the unconditional part of left-to-own-devices ness.. for (blank)’s sake..

ie: whatever for a year.. a legit sabbatical ish transition

______

findings from on the ground ness:

1\ undisturbed ecosystem (common\ing) can happen

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