In times of war, violence, and environmental disasters, how else can we feel? Is this what it means to be civilised"
It's clear that our institutions are fundamentally misaligned with addressing these problems. Michel Bauwens writes: “Corporations and states are competitive entities, geared towards extraction to serve the relative strength of their owners and citizens. These institutions are problematic by themselves, in an age facing a planetary meta-crisis.”
Could it be that the design of the institutions themselves is why we have these crises in the...2024-08-0455 min

Doomer OptimismDO 180 - Towards a Fourth Generation Civilization with Michel Bauwens, Ashley, and JasonIn this episode, Ashley and Jason talk with Michel Bauwens about his work developing ideas for a ‘cosmo-local’ society through the power of horizontal P2P networks, a reimagining of the commons, and crypto. Along the way they talk about ascending and descending civilizations, why he thinks we’re in a descending one, and what that potentiates in terms of reinvigorating local societies and provisioning systems through the power of superlinear collaboration networks

Philosophy PortalThinking the Commons: Tribe in the Internet Age (w/ Michel Bauwens & Alexander Bard)The commons is an ancient social structure of allowing for the exchange of value. The act of commoning can be defined as the act of exchanging with the ‘whole’ (i.e. doing something for the self as part of a larger tribe, clan, family, rather than for the self itself). Throughout the history of human civilization more complex structural layers for exchanging value have been built on top of commoning, e.g. including equality matching value (gift economy), distributing value according to social merit (authority rank), and most recently capitalist assignment of value (market pricing). Commoning can be thought of as t...2021-12-241h 57

SPIDERS in the DoughnutAlternative national accounting with Sebastian Berger and Jacques RichardIn this talk, Jacques Richard and Sebastian Berger introduce us to models of accounting, rooted in scientific knowledge regarding conditions for sustainability and satisfaction of basic human needs within specific social and natural environments and with available resources. Based on such knowledge, calculations in kind serve the purposes of normative collective decision-making for social reproduction (substantive rationality). The latter embeds and constrains firms’ calculations in exchange for decision-making via capitalist double-entry book-keeping (formal rationality). Biographies

SPIDERS in the DoughnutDegrowth and hierarchy with Blair FixHumanity’s most pressing need is to learn how to live within our planet’s boundaries — something that likely means doing without economic growth. How, then, can we create a non-growth society that is both just and equitable? Blair Fix attempts to address this question by looking at an aspect of sustainability (and equity) that is not often discussed: the growth of hierarchy. As societies consume more energy, they tend to become more hierarchical. At the same time, the growth of hierarchy also seems to be a key driver of income/resource inequality. In his essay, Blair Fix reviews the eviden...2021-03-101h 13

In the discussion, we delved deeper into seeming cooptations of modern monetary theory by incumbent elites and hegemonic discourses, and on the concept, the model or indicator of Gross Domestic Provisioning, and universal basic services.
