Huh? All most of this make me think or feel is $####@! Aside from decentralized farming, and education, it is ALL built upon abstracts and distanced from much reality based in life, or a future worth living in. Ownership and money, and fairly toxic tech, will never sustain us, nor the commons of Nature which sustain all life. Mostly I see here a bunch of high tech, which IS leaving toxic and lifeless landfills, where diverse life once lived. What IS important is community, and appropriate tech, policy, and laws, based upon/within the laws/actual functioning of living healthy systems, and not the insane mess we accept as "normal" which is reducing all and everything to dollar values. Yes, we need to change the "systems," and what are most of the above built upon? No, we don't all have to live in mud huts (although that may have some benefits) but neither do we have the resources for us each to be entitled primary consumers. You can't eat a cell phone, or breathe wireless, nor is a pile of tech a community anything akin to a healthy system. The WHOLE ball of wax, IS built upon the commons of Nature, and were we "smart" we would preserve, protect, and nurture it, before it all collapses under our derivative algorithms of money and ownership are everything. Too big of anything, is a huge failure, and our egosystems are wiping out the ecosystems. Oops.
