zachary marlow
first intro’d to him here: liminal village.. then following @zacharycmarlow et al.. zachary on revolutions et al
adding page this day [https://x.com/zacharycmarlow/status/1872326748790235216]:
game on [https://anotherworld.earth/]
because of notes/quotes from about page on site.. ie:
that I’m not crazy, our society itself is..t
grammatis broken law et al.. crazywise (doc) et al
my dawning realization that all our “issues” are one system, and we *can’t solve them reactively: it isn’t enough to point out the bad, we have to **provide an answer..t
*any form of re ness as cancerous distraction
**aka: a nother way
I found a group called Moneyless Society, a tribe of others who heard the call, and spent 4 years growing this organization, movement, meme empire and podcast into a phenomenon reaching millions of people and driving deep *engagement and thousands of hours of volunteer work, a mutual aid network feeding the people of Appalachia and a nonprofit organization bringing people together around the world into action building the **change we want to see in the world. At one point our socials were outperforming MSNBC on facebook–as a grassroots group of volunteers, we leveraged all forms of new media ***strategically to drive deep engagement, create real impact, and more importantly build lasting community and mutual aid networks, creating a synergistic system.
*super great.. but to me (warning ness) not deep enough to get to root of problem.. (to me still voluntary compliance and re ness.. ie: mutual aid (kropotkin).. mutual aid (spade).. david on mutual aid not deep enough.. more like a triage)
**to me.. from my experiences (on the ground ness et al).. we need global detox leap before we legit grok what we want/need
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
***again.. to me this is a red flag.. but again.. warning ness
to me.. need to try the unjustifiable strategy ness of a means to facil the unconditional part of left to own devices ness (something we haven’t yet tried/seen).. ie: the whatever ness of a sabbatical ish transition
Our adventure drew us ever deeper together, and into our tribe of changemakers and worldweavers. We set up shop in the mountain oasis of Topanga California, at the invite of legendary producer and post production wizard Darius Fisher, who worked on huge films like Avatar, the Aviator, and dozens of social and environmental documentaries like Fuel and Kiss the Ground. In this sanctum overlooking the citadel of Hollywood, we are growing our studio and building our community, with a team of artists, techs, and builders, in a larger web of cutting edge projects, luminaries and visionaries working to tackle the biggest problems of our time, and to create the new in the shell of the old. Our activism and organizing has shifted from Moneyless Society which functions autonomously to larger organizations like The Venus Project where our storytelling efforts are on full blast creating a blueprint for civilizational scale transformation.
venus project et al
why i wish we could talk .. for that 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
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: 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)
need to try the unconditional part of left to own devices ness..
there’s a legit use of tech (nonjudgmental exponential labeling) to facil the seeming chaos of a global detox leap/dance.. the unconditional part of left-to-own-devices ness.. for (blank)’s sake.. and we’re missing it
ie: whatever for a year.. a legit sabbatical ish transition
We are growing Another World is Possible into more than a production company or agency, but as a living model of the new regenerative, worker owned, horizontally governed cooperative economic model embodying the best practices our interlacing life journeys have unveiled– which we will spend the rest of our days working to spread, develop and evolve into a new system entirely that uses the power of story to make the impossible inevitable.
econ model we need..

@mbauwens is a true sage and a man right on time, a true human LLM scraping the highest quality data 6 hours a day in a cosmolocal quest for higher synthesis: I don’t know anyone with more knowledge. Always worth listening to @maearthmedia too. Regrow the commons! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCkLHj6r7y8]
