@drmichaellevin @iambrunocoelho Really nice to see Humberto Maturana & Francisco Varela there once the autopoietic phenomena besides being the living proof of the so called 2nd order of cybernetics it's one of the foundational roots of Maturana's #culturalbiology that itself became a field of scientific inquiry

Education is about to fragment like media did.

We’ve been researching for the third episode of our documentary https://t.co/xbaHgFKNq5, which will feature projects and builders creating alternatives to the legacy education system using AI.

New approaches are already emerging, and we’re about to see an explosion of learning models built for different kinds of learners.

Really excited to see what people build in this new reality.

@wor @mbauwens @TiberiusB @omniharmonic @NJHagens couldn't agree more @wor ... that's why I started this comment with the wording ' It's light years away ..' ... and BTW I would add more to it with your own post in substack : https://t.co/T2rM9R8XCu…

It's light years away of what it's happening IRL due to all sorts of complex realities were all embedded in but it's way better thoughtout than any ' frontier AI Labs ' or ' billionaire to trillionaire ' techlord manifesto @mbauwens , @TiberiusB, @omniharmonic , @wor , @NJHagens

[glocal VR @VRSS]

@mbauwens historically speaking this manifesto belongs at most within the 90's to 2000's window nowadays with all post-growth & nationstate cosmolocal regen blueprints out there - and ultimately being leverage by opensource decentralized AI models- it becomes detached from actual reality

" Well, Holochain inherits that vision. It is a medium that can carry these alternatives to monetary currency. That's the foundational narrative behind Holochain. "

[Tiberius @TiberiusB]

Thoughts about Holo's marketing tactics...
To be frank, I like the Holo idea, I own a Holo port, which means that I support them, and I understand the utility. But I didn't really like Mary at the head of the Holo organization. I like Art and Eric through, they are very consistent over all these years. But Mary never really mastered bridging the traditional business language with p2p economics language, she didn't succeed in bridging the two cultures without generating cognitive dissonance. Therefore she felt fake to me.
This Holo post suffers from the same schizophrenic tendency, i.e. oscillating between two paradigms / worlds without providing a rational bridge.
If you read Art's past work on Metacurrency you'll learn that money is not wealth and is not essential, in the grand scheme of things, to make a living. We can use a variety of current-sees to establish flows that generate a living, and we can imagine scenarios in which money plays only a minor role, or even no role. It's not even hard to imagine. In fact, money hasn't played a role for the longest part of human existence, and doesn't play a role in some societies and communities even today. If you think I'm talking hippie language or that I'm romanticizing the prehistoric world you don't get my point; you can scroll up them.
Well, Holochain inherits that vision. It is a medium that can carry these alternatives to monetary currency. That's the foundational narrative behind Holochain.
When you say that our focus is to make money, when you put money as a priority, without saying anything else, implying that we can't make a living without money, you just dropped a pile of crap on top of that exciting, generative, revolutionary original narrative.
That original narrative is conducive to deep change.
This money statement is not only contradicting that narrative, it actually ridicules it and kills the dream, kills creativity, kills community.
One can conclude that Art's Metacurrency ideas were just, well, … some type of naïve dreams. Art's a hippie.
Well, it turns out that Art's ideas are embedded deep into what we call Open Value Networks. These ideas are already operational, have a real embodiment. You can't convince me otherwise, I'm in the middle of it.
Since I'm actually architecting flows that bypass money (we've already demonstrated that you can reduce the need for cash up to 97% if you want to launch a new hardware artifact), this money talk only reveals to me a lack of depth and sophistication.
What's the goal here, and let's see if something good can come out of this cheap money talk.
If you read the comments of the original post, the great majority, at the time when I saw the post, are sarcastic comments from angry HOT holders. These are the people who you'd think would buy the money talk. No, your post just made them angrier :)
We can also consider the other side of the equation, people like me, who are not just following Holochain and believe in it blindly, but actually using the technology and understand it's generative potential beyond capitalism and money. Well, you got me angry too!
So what did you, Holonauts, achieve with this post? You just made everyone angry?
That's what I call a marketing failure.

Holo needs people who know how to bridge the two cultures, who can navigate the need to sustain current development while maintaining the creativity and innovation fire, maintaining the generative potential of the community that formed around Holochain. There are many ways to do that… we can discuss if you want.

Please understand this as (provocative) constructive criticism.

@TiberiusB it's not really replacing per se ...because in the so called ' grand scheme of things ' in other for the new to gain the light of day it has been hybridizing with the old in order to co-create different forms of pregnancy capable to flourish as an broader reality..

@mbauwens @AnalogueUSB last but not least,since 2022, with the #transformer tech of #genAI backed by #VCs further combined with never once seen brute force of circular finance #capex of the hyperscalers with theirs high distribution capillarity is creating another breakthrough: #transcyber_cultures

[glocal VR @VRSS]

@mbauwens @AnalogueUSB and of course #covid19 the 1st of it's kind massive worldwide pandemic that made the virtuality of the digital the reality of the physical by 'opening the gates' for all sorts of #post paradigms beyond capitalist/ statecentric where surely #ReRe (@rere_abundance) is one of them!

[glocal VR @VRSS]

@mbauwens @AnalogueUSB interesting graphic ... but there's still a lot that he didn't consider in the timeline like for instance all URL/IRL experiments of the #cypherpunk movement where #bitcoin is the obvious one or the #occupy phenomena that created one of the first digital transnational blueprints

If it's an @Logos_network space most certainly it worths checking it out specially if its exploring with the actual nowadays complex lenses what was the #cypherpunk manifesto in its early 90's inception https://t.co/i56mL8U6Tu

@mbauwens makes no sense at all nowadays ... and even then it would have a very narrow window to become something worth doing ...
