Michel Bauwens: Cosmo-Localism (Valley of the Commons)
valley of the commons – day 6 – 8.19.26 – michel bauwens – cosmo-localism
this is part 1 – part 2 few days later: voc – voc – michel bauwens (cosmolocal) & stefan schutz (intervention in local production & money)
notes/quotes from 90 min video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RID8x9F7hY]:
7 min – michel (starts w background): 2018 when i was ‘cancelled’ symbolic of commons movement .. at same time fragmented ‘.. ie: platform coop et al.. and they didn’t talk to each other.. the binding element was for some reason.. going under..
8 min – so i took a retreat and started studying macro history.. then suddenly this year all these invitations started coming.. so deeply feel like i’m back.. also.. i’m not back alone.. ie: jeff says.. i have your back.. that really counts for something
10 min – reading thornbee – study of history 12 volumes.. ‘there is a pattern of people who leave the world and come back to change it.. ie: st benedict put europe back on feet supplying food’.. leave system and come back
11 min – things getting really bad.. suicidal situation.. but then more and more say we have to do something about it.. that’s what we’ve been doing w p2p for last 20 yrs.. what are people doing.. what kind of seed forms are people making
12 min – benjamin life in boulder writing really good stuff.. he calls it regen accelerations.. ie: things going bad so make it worse so we can change.. no.. not that.. what we are saying while getting worse and worse we need to find things working and accel them
benjamin life.. benjamin (l) on coordination ness
/acc ness.. michel on /acc ness.. vitalik on /acc ness.. et al
15 min – combine local with best of techs.. create new need
ie: tech as it could be
way to create abundance – sharing.. ie: uber et al.. do this systematically
ie: meshing(dot)it ness lisa gansky – mesh et al
16 min – really possible to keep same complexity w 20% less energy and resources.. but requires more thinking/esperimenting
world needs most/first: the energy of 8b alive people
humanity needs a leap.. to get back/to simultaneous spontaneity .. simultaneous fittingness.. everyone in sync.. the dance
for that.. it wouldn’t ie: takes a lot of work et al.. if we would just 1\ et go of thinking we have to control things.. ie: all the forms of m\a\p and 2\ use tech for the thing it can do that we can’t seem to.. ie: tech w/o judgment
17 min – on mode d ness is our permanent to recreate mode a at highest level of mode d
valley of commons day 2 – goes into kojin karatani modes et al
24 min – this is our task.. what i invite you to do.. how to org now using these new categories – intro-ing cosmolocal initiative..
cosmo local ness.. michel on cosmo localism
25 min – now a bit of advertising i guess.. why are we in a good place to do this as p2p foundation .. i think the reason is the following .. 20 yrs of research.. since 2005 been documenting systematically every day.. my wife might not be happy with this but .. i work every day.. if i don’t have a stroke.. which i had 3 .. i work every day.. i can’t help it.. you need monomaniacs to change the world.. i’m making my wife famous because she said – ‘why do people keep inviting you everywhere.. you can’t do anything’
this is huge huge huge
oh shoot.. just replayed that part.. first time (and when i said huge huge).. i thought he said she said ‘while people keep on fighting.. you can’t do anything’.. which is why i’m at warning ness and since that day ness.. because yeah.. we can try to be kinder and protect each other more.. and spread more of these ideas.. but to me.. as long as anybody is ‘fighting’ (aka as long as anyone is not free to be themselves).. none of us are free.. which means to me.. will just keep perpetuating survival triage
so.. huge huge huge revelation to me while mishearing michel quoting his wife.. and it’s the point i harp on.. because since that day we haven’t yet and can’t legit dance.. until we are all legit free.. no form of us & them
keeping it here: my huge from voc
me too – on the ground ness .. deep dive.. leading to warning ness et al.. the thing you can’t not do
miller extreme focus law: i feel for people who want to create a great work but don’t have the necessary disorder of extreme focus to actually pull it off – @donaldmiller
27 min – so going to use all these 20 yrs of seed forms and create a state of arc record.. this is a big issue..
kind of this site as prototype to app ness et al.. but not used to ‘teach/help’ others from reinventing the wheel.. used to connect us.. so not against his wiki ness at all.. just .. to me.. need this other ie: self-talk as data ness 1st/most.. since what we need 1st/most.. is a means for a global detox leap
28 min – everybody keeps reinventing the wheel.. we’re never going to get anywhere.. this is really big.. t
what if the deeper problem is that we keep reinventing the same wheel.. to me.. not going to be the dance until we org around legit needs.. we need to try a different ‘wheel’.. good bye cycle ness et al – (from my on the ground ness.. 20 ish yrs)
otherwise we’ll keep perpetuating the same song.. perhaps ‘wasting’ diff energies/resources.. but same wheel.. ie: the one that is perpetuating survival triage.. perpetuating the whac-a-mole-ing ness of sea world.. of not-us ness.. of part\ial ness.. for (blank)’s sake..
we need a problem deep enough to resonate w/8b today.. via a mechanism simple enough to be accessible/usable to 8b today.. in an ecosystem open enough to set/keep 8b legit free
ie: org around a problem deep enough (aka: org around legit needs) to resonate w/8b today.. via a mechanism simple enough (aka: tech as it could be) to be accessible/usable to 8b today.. and an ecosystem open enough (aka: sans any form of m\a\p) to set/keep 8b legit free
29 min – like a wikipedia.. but who’s going to read it all.. that’s where we are now.. and i think ai will help with that.. so i’d say.. before you do anything .. check the wiki.. you’re not as genius as you think you are.. other people have done it before you.. and we don’t learn from each other.. we’re in a unique position to bring something to the table that very few other people have done.. i think this is something i’m really sure of
again.. deeper.. 1\ we need something legit diff 2\ it needs to be something with no prep.. no train.. so that it’s for all from the get go
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
[‘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.. for (blank)’s sake..
ie: whatever for a year.. a legit sabbatical ish transition
30 min – this is my big critique of web3 and all the tech people.. they talk to each other but they don’t go down to the nitty gritty of production
oi.. norton productivity law et al.. .. not nitty gritty enough to get to the root
indings from on the ground ness deep dive on why we need tech w/o judgment
ie: the dance won’t dance unless/until it’s 1\ all of us 2\ legit free
nothing to date (ever since that day) has gotten to that 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 measuring, accounting, people telling other people what to do
when talking ‘production’ talking all the forms of m\a\p
again.. i know.. i know.. warning ness et al
31 min – where is value coming from.. who keeps the surplus.. if we don’t do that ourselves.. we are nothing.. we have to acru knowledge.. sorry hippies.. can’t redistribute everything all the time.. we need to put things aside to invest in the future.. and we have to be very strategic about it
dang.. same song man.. nothing legit diff till we org around legit needs
note: on survival ness: survival is a means to survive things as they are.. so to me.. not a legit alt.. it’s triage.. perpetuating survival triage.. so a temp band aide per se.. that will /can help now.. but only for short term.. because it still doesn’t get to the root of the problem.. so it won’t offer/lead-to legit change/life/freedom.. et al.. so.. to me.. it’s still a cancerous distraction to the dance
32 mi – regen village as ie
40 min – what you need on demand.. we make it when you need it
again.. what if those aren’t legit needs.. that’s our deeper issue.. otherwise we’ll keep spending more energy/resources ness than we need.. and so.. the dance can’t dance..
46 min – jeff (on the secret sause of p4p): mariana mazzucato – the benefits of the side effects.. fractals even in our data ontologies.. so cusp on new commons based data structures.. so on new discovery of data
mariana mazzucato et al
again.. makes not diff in non legit data.. ie: whalespeak
57 min – zachary: (better at money than me) – on michel’s amazing life history..
via google: Zachary Schlosser, who is involved in decentralized governance networks and the Valley of the Commons pop-up community.
58 – z: if we’ve lived it.. can we transition w/o id collapse.. growing it is not going to be easy.. or quest is to scale family.. it’s time people like mb get their due.. i’m here to invite you into this journey and make possible this dream.. critically under supported.. we lead by putting out money where our mouth is.. we want to create new structures for capital.. i expect everyone here to support because we’re all part of it.. but skills to.. to show that money is not the only wealth..
takes a lot of work ness as cancerous distraction
1:02 – m: if i was young toay.. i would buy a house here and be a part of the ecosystem..
z: our greatest capital is people
