engaging in the creation of new collective truths

[Ethan Buchman (🐝,🦇) @buchmanster]

Maybe my favourite podcast yet! We talk about my intellectual history, early background in psych/religion & biophysics, meaning of Sustainability Existentialism, how Collaborative Finance addresses fundamental problems in the monetary system, why DeFi is still naive, and more!

@buchmanster Loved the podcast, we're moving in this direction in Portland (@pdxregencommons). Would love to interface with you as an org in the coming months.

In the meantime, what would you recommend in terms of actual available tooling for mutual credit and MTCS on the b2b scale?

The day has arrived! Join us for our first gathering tonight. As we begin creating this new space together, we ask that everyone keeps in mind the values of resilience and autonomy. We will have masks, hand sanitizer, and outdoor space available. Accessibility is resiliency.

GM - a thread

Portland and greater Cascadia has been for decades & continues to be a haven for experiments in community autonomy, and the DIY & pirate technologies to facilitate it. What it doesn’t need is a project that seeks to take charge, take direction, take ownership-

This Sunday I'll be publishing the first half of a 2.5 hour interview I had with @VitalikButerin talking about politics and crypto!

The second half will come out next Sunday, but patrons will have access to the full interview all at once.

[Commons Stack @commonsstack]

Everything Commons Stack has ever done has led us to this moment!

Every research collaboration, crypto-economic primitive, product development and cultural design.

We are now ready to help any purpose-driven community launch their own commons economy. 🧵

Pluralism. Localism. Anti-Authoritarianism.

Distributed ledgers steal statefulness from the state.

Who knew Zack Morris explains our current situation with toxic ethno-nationalism?

Kind of a counterpoint, maybe, to @balajis' Network State.

"There’s also a concept of ‘transvestment,’ which is a concept by Dmytri Kleiner and Baruch Gottlieb, which is like transfusing blood from the capitalist system. You do a transfusion and once it’s in the commons, once we have value sovereignty, we don’t give it back."

@pdxregencommons
// hello there ... just wanted to name that im a big fan of how these words are being used.

There are so many ways to assemble English words, I'm not a fan of most of them. Sometimes though...I see a solid block of words.

Good spell casting here friends.

[exeunt @exeuntdoteth]

A Sunday read. Thanks to @CemFDagdelen for the helpful feedback, and @CPostcapitalism for a ton of inspiration.

[Kolektivo @Kolektivo]

To solve the 21st-century challenges, we need regeneration at an institutional scale! #ReFi

Kolektivo allows local communities to launch, finance, and govern their regenerative economies.

[free air 🎐 🍉 @_newcubes_]

I started an essay series at @regenfoundation to unpack what it means when we peg economic value to ecological regeneration. The ethical and technical challenges are vibrant and complex. I’m releasing the first essay “Undualing” soon. Here’s a rant 🧵 to whet your palates. 1/8

[hylo @hylo]

What if land stewards & Indigenous leaders could design a bioregional ecocredit methodology based on their local regenerative practices?

+ sell it on @regen_network & get paid for the stewardship they're already doing?

help make this happen in #GR15 >
