🧐TLDR

In Solarpunk, technology is an ally, not a vector. It urges to accommodate technology in social, economic and political coordinates in which it can flourish. It is not a question of increasingly advanced technology, but rather that it serves to build harmony.

6. PRIORITY TO SOCIAL INNOVATIONS BASED ON:

✅ co-governance and advocacy

✅ redistributive logics

✅ public goods & communal management

✅ common good objectives

This creates lifestyles related to Degrowth and Post-scarcity.

6. PEACE

The spaces we inhabit are more than simple scenarios. They are an active context that builds us both individually & collectively. A pleasant environment in which we find quietness and protection as a substrate to be happy, is essential to face a socioeconomical change.

#SOLARPUNK proposes to build city models in which we move from being CONSUMERS to NEIGHBORS.

✊The places we inhabit and the way we create life in them are a change vector to build a new socio-economic paradigm.

✅ Private areas branch out to give them public status.
✅ Energetic communities are consolidated.
✅ Permablitz takes care of abandoned corners.

CONCLUSIONS: 3

As Bruno Latour warns us, technologies are not neutral and in their development & management they carry an axiological bias. So our management of the AI may pose an existential risk & become a disadaptive step or at least an asymmetrically distributed adaptation.

The Future Life Institute is calling for a pause in the development of AI models more advanced than GPT-4 for the next 6 months.

CONCLUSIONS: 2

The idea is that development should cease to be subordinated, for a moment, to mercantile and competitive interests in favor of the Common Good.
