Once is an accident, twice is coincidence, thrice is a pattern.
I am super happy to share that the third Festival of Commoning has gone public, and tickets are on sale now!
Amazing line-up, brilliant organising crew, the movement builds...

@IsabellaMWeber @mbauwens That would be the move.
But along with *all* other proposals suggesting sane behaviour by western states, it is, quite simply, not worth spending a moment on.
These institutions are a busted flush. Irredeemable. Stop wasting time.
Act locally with global vision.

@BareLeft @pickwickpick The Who released 'Won't get fooled again' featuring the line "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss." in 1971.
54 years ago.
Saying things ain't the point.
Doing things different is the point.
Forget politics, #BuildCommons
Drop all efforts to petition state apparatus at any level above regional.
The story of Democracy™ was a lie, perhaps worth efforts trying to make it true, but must now be understood to be past saving.
"There's no justice, it's just us."

Property was always theft, but neither can a free-for-all build a viable culture.
Living Ethics and life-like agreements are what is viable.

The AI IP debate is fascinating because you can’t lazily import ideological positions from last century and come to a satisfying conclusion.
Both copyright and free info ideologues will get into fruitless wars prolonging the inevitable conclusion that this question requires new imagination.
Essentials of the new commoning movement.
The new commons need to be easy to adopt, attract funds on a win/win basis, take basic infrastructure out of the market economy without collectivisation, be robustly constituted and self-governed.

Super happy and grateful to be here with so many people to learn, contribute, to gain inspiration and to build the movement that is Commoning.

@iang_fc is right to call this out. It's another version of ''Mummy and Daddy should sort this out!" - and also a naive anthroporphosm of the global finance capital system, which is hydra headed.
Take responsibility.
Not in a consumer choice sense.
Work together. #BuildCommons
What does this even mean?
"Hold the oil companies responsible..."
Force them to cool the planet? Execute senior managers every time 0.1C gets added? Turn off the oil, and turn the world into Germany?
If one were to take the annual profits of the oil/gas industry and point that at climate change, would it make a difference? Doubt...
If you hold X responsible, what are the consequences? What happens next?
@PaulSchleifer That political will *will never* find expression through current 'democratics'.
We need to build new polities around real value creation.
We can do that with new models for governing, constituting and financing local infrastructure Commons, then federate.

Commons governance pattern considered as a general underpinning of a sane, free, decent, resilient and adaptable society.
Dignity<->Respect
Desire<->Ethics
Knowledge<->Wisdom
#BuildCommons
@mbauwens We need a Commons license.
Essentially, for *anything* where the stakeholders around it can demonstrate the will and capacity for Commons governance (as judged by a Commons equivalent of a Common law court, overseen by a Commoners Assembly by sortition) that thing *is* a Commons.
Dil always interesting, and more importantly has a plan [#buildcommons], & most importantly is executing it https://t.co/MNEOfQmPNI
The whole premise of this article is a gruesome exemplar of the likelihood of failure to preserve what passes for a civilisation (and is yet what we have as the result of tens of millennia of human creativity and love - not to be let go without..

This has been my hope and fear for some long while now.
Since China makes all the stuff, if it takes the climate seriously, then it can force change. This is the hope.
The fear is what a Chinese imperium might mean.
Otoh, it's all too late, probably, so moot.
#BuildCommons & 🤞
Honestly, I cannot think of a better response than #BuildCommons.
It has been amply proven that govts. both can and will not do anything real about this. They've been faking and failing since 1992.
Locally owned and operated infrastructure is the source of action and assurance.
Yes, the reality we are now experiencing on this planet really is totally f&%ked.

This one is a doozy.
Sometimes very hard to be interested in most stuff on here.
Everyone acting as if whatever project of the next 20 years matters.
When most of it will never happen, and much of what does happen will be damage limitation.

The southern Brazilian Amazon now emits more carbon than it absorbs. A LIDAR study quantifies the amount of carbon lost from logging, fires, wind, and other causes. Indigenous areas and conservation units protect against anthropogenic losses. In PNAS: https://t.co/JN0KPk1hBk
Many apologies for the multiple festival posts.
And many thanks to those boosting it.
All in the service of the urgent need to #BuildCommons!
@SteB777 They can vote, sure, some of them, but it is pretty clear to many that that system is not going to offer them anything worth voting for anytime soon.
So, for me personally, I work on things which build agency.
At the local level, #BuildCommons - https://t.co/viP1qtuu5i.

So the thing now about degrowth is it has probably started.
Not policy driven but climate driven.
Food shortages very likely this year, record hurricane season brewing.
Build resilience, build Commons. You'll wish you had.
#BuildCommons
Heartbreaking.
We are going to have our hearts broken, essentially forever, now. It's baked in.
We are going to have to work on heart-making, almost to the exclusion of all else.
I work on the financial blockers to heart-making.

Climate apocalypse NOW!
Utterly devastating to be witnessing this wildfire this evening, in what WAS regenerating Scottish temperate rainforest.
30 years painstaking rewilding gone up in smoke in 1 day.
