The Green Transition will not work as planned, what might we do instead? – Professor Simon Michaux – nov 2023 – 82 min video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbnXMv19Hck]:
simon michaux
In this JKMRC Friday Seminar Professor Simon Michaux discusses how current thinking will not help us, and if we change that thinking, there are solution vectors if we chose to see them.
first intro’d to simon here: prometheus project.. then this video (simon on alt with michaux diff via unorthodox law).. then simon on unsustainability..
notes/quotes:
47 min – s: circular econ and steady state econ will need to evolve.. they’re the only systems that can
rather.. only we can see..? no?
up to us to build a new system.. and unprecedented dmeand of natural resources of all kinds needed.. project of century once we get arms around what we need to do..
plan for radical reduction of consumption of natural resources of new system once established
most radical will happen (and in simplest way) if we org around legit needs
[1st 1/2 of video is of all the maths/data of what we use and need to reduce]
that new system requires new relationship between us, energy, raw materials and planetary environ.. what do we do..
*restructure society to operate a diff energy generation system .. **using unorthodox tech .. produced from resources extracted in a ***diff business model to what happens now
*need most/1st: the energy of 8b alive people.. so need global detox/reset.. a leap.. to get back/to simultaneous spontaneity .. simultaneous fittingness.. everyone in sync.. the dance.. the unconditional part of left to own devices ness.. if we can trust that.. the rest will be taken care of
**there’s a legit use of tech (nonjudgmental expo labeling).. to facil the seeming chaos of a global detox leap.. for (blank)’s sake.. and we’re missing it
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
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
***perhaps no business model.. 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
48 min – we must change our paradigm..
57 min – reactor ie’s to for power generation
again.. if don’t change how we spend our days.. if not organizing around legit needs.. doesn’t matter how we generate power.. won’t ever be enough.. we need that global detox/reset to grok enough ness.. graeber stop at enough law et al
1:06 – what energy system we use to phase out fossil fuels has yet to be determined
again.. mute point (aka: same song) until we have 8b alive people

Coordination is still the hardest hard problem. Building a new internet, creating a thorium molten salt reactor in a storage container to power a circular city in a dessert oasis is absolutely not as hard as just getting people raised as rugged individuals to WORK TOGETHER!
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
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
need 1st/most: means to undo our hierarchical listening to self/others/nature as global detox/re\set.. so we can org around legit needs
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)
