Interview by a German magazine’s podcast program, focusing on Cosmo-Localism: “He calls it the Cosmo-Local Revolution, a revolution where we focus our production again more on our regions and our local environments but at the same time find new forms of global, decentralized forms of collaborations. This gives us the opportunity to work together beyond the logic of commodity and market.” [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1WlQTbPOsk&t=1s]
notes/quotes:
6 min – in order to go up (spiritual/tech).. need to go down (embodiment/nature)
8 min – distributed ledger opens up transactions to show people what we are doing.. publicly transparent transaction accounting.. new forms of accounting that can be combined with human conscience
10 min – my argument is blockchain reps cyber physical infra for global cooperation that would allow to fuel the production of human needs w/in planetary boundaries.. t
deeper: what we need is global detox.. so we can hear/see/org around legit needs.. until we do that.. never grok enough ness.. graeber stop at enough law et al
to make visible context based sustainability.. creates possibility to intro consciousness.. w/awareness of impact of our actions.. formalizing contract w/nature in our daily tools..
makes no diff is visible or not.. if still in sea world
hari rat park law et al
11 min – way to solve the conundrum.. cosmo local ization.. to connect the local and the global.. civ is way to org land.. now we are creating layer of noosphere.. cooperation of interconnected brain coop.. non territorial spheres.. big challenge is how we put both of these together.. t
there’s a legit use of tech (nonjudgmental expo labeling).. to facil a legit global detox leap.. for (blank)’s sake.. and we’re missing it
legit freedom (common\ing) begs to be sans any form of m\a\p
1\ undisturbed ecosystem (common\ing) can happen
2\ if we create a way to ground the chaos of 8b legit free people
13 min – tech is designed.. people forget that.. military/econ/govt.. layering of particular human interests.. internet was originally p2p .. now centralized.. but can also say.. let’s use these ledgers as institution of the commons.. production in the open.. we show what we do voluntarily..
15 min – show what your doing and get tokens.. businesses have invested interest to pay us.. a direct financing of generic import.. recognized for contributions
oi.. needs to be sans any form of m\a\p
19 min – (on overpowerment of existing systems) i don‘t think this system is eternal.. not able to solve.. so i think we’re in an era of transition.. ie: printing press like internet today.. fraying ideation grove.. so now .. people are looking for answers outside system.. looks like chaos.. but because all these things being tried out
21 min – study on urban commoning in ghent.. as ie of real explosion of alts.. marginal but significant for future.. how fast it will go..
22 min – been reading a lot of macro history right now..
will be eternal as long as we keep looking as past (no legit data to date).. since forever been in sea world
black science of people/whales law et al
24 min – commoning is contribution.. ie: permaculture.. very local/concrete.. in a community.. so have recognition/relationships.. but everything else learning/certification happens at translocal level.. this is what i call cosmo local.. this is a new order.. so now we have 2 orders.. western order..
25 min – the way i see the global reset is a dream to run the world with global private public magisteria.. i think ukraine is about a systemic struggle.. both are rivals.. but both believe state is foundation.. so war
26 min – historically we do that.. fight.. cost is high.. so jump to another system..
but no legit alt to date
27 min – cosmo local is order where we relocalize production.. we spend 3x more transporting things that making.. we do it here.. if can’t find here do somewhere else.. so opp of what we do now
30 min – no reason not to collab w others.. what i call magister of the commons.. we need trans local civic commons first as a counter power..
34 min – my dream has been that the commoners become the political subject.. i see very little sign of it
40 min – now 1\ 40 communities doing it.. so realistic.. 2\ sabbatical of studying macro history to look at patterns in the past.. that’s part of realism too human history is cycle of extractive and generative ness.. but always overuse because of competition.. reaction to this decline.. is the commons.. people re creating commons.. this is nothing new.. then because doing well.. create new surplus.. and cycle goes on.. but now we’ve exhausted all the frontiers.. so pulsation of commons blocked..
exactly.. nothing new.. but too.. to me.. nothing legit common\ing (aka: the dance)
43 min – so need 1\ degrowth 2\ steady state system – global commons.. never done it.. requires belief in humanity.. t
exactly.. this is why we haven’t yet gotten to global equity.. we keep limiting the unconditionality of the dance/common\ing.. and so end up with same song (aka: tragedy of the non common)
