michel on reinventing failed projects
aka: michel bauwens perpetuating same song

Abundance is not about dreaming of a limitless world, and ignoring thermodynamic capacities, it’s about designing correctly based on what is scarce, what is abundant, and self-renews, etc …
As I say in my latest essay, mutualization is the bridge between entropy and negentropy.
but to me.. what we need is more entropy.. ie: carhart-harris entropy law et al.. because the thing we’ve not yet tried/seen: the unconditional part of left to own devices ness
[‘in an undisturbed ecosystem ..the individual left to its own devices.. serves the whole’ –dana meadows]
We have sections with hundreds if not thousands of projects that are already doing this in healthy, shelter, transport, etc …
One of the problems with the Web3 approach is the constant re-invention of projects that have failed countless times, without looking at the record, and thus learning, from past attempts.
to me.. that’s everything to date.. again..
the thing we’ve not yet tried/seen: the unconditional part of left to own devices ness
to me.. the reason why we have not yet gotten to global equity.. to legit freedom.. is because we can’t seem to let go enough to see/be/hear the dance.. we keep disturbing the ecosystem because we can’t seem to let go enough to see/try the unconditional part of left to own devices ness
and.. so.. we keep perpetuating the same song.. the whac-a-mole-ing ness of sea world.. of not-us ness.. of part\ial ness.. perpetuating survival triage.. for (blank)’s sake..
This is why it’s important to look at projects who have already been doing this work for years and decades, and are still standing. And the question should be: how can we help them grow in social power and capacity .
rather.. to me.. important to try something legit diff.. because even if still standing ness et al.. not legit free.. because none of us are free.. while still in sea world
which was a reply to kevin owocki‘s post [https://x.com/owocki/status/2043489712200175726?s=20]:
ok you guys whos actually building abundance for the everyman in a post-agi, post-capitalist world?
if i told you.. could you hear/believe it?
and to which kevin replied (to michel):
I’ve been thinking a lot about negentropy lately.
again.. to me.. what we need is more entropy.. ie: carhart-harris entropy law et al.. because the thing we’ve not yet tried/seen: the unconditional part of left to own devices ness
+1 on studying what works and doesn’t before launching
maybe time for us to catch up!
