Andre - maybe there is some work happening that your unaware of - as if we are made more conscious of these really beautiful shifts i think it can help create even more thru sort of momentum Its not as monolithic as you state - multifacitity is really how life works I have info about towns with their own currencies - lending libraries that lend much more than books - food deserts being turned into community garden spaces in urban areas - alternative banking structures being developed - tesla shit - massive growth in the cooperative sector globally - indigenous people not allowing destruction of the land - hackers taking information and dissiminating it to the people to produce higher levels of consciousness - highly productive scientists developing methodologies of clean energy without the state apparatus and discounting government as inneffective - environmetally cleaner tech ...

The idea that one has to be "forced" to act in the common interest is disheartening, especially now.
I'm sorry, but there's only so much one will do with disregard of self.
I feel like this discussion has starved. There's a distinct lack of depth and logic, and now the meaningless arguments are drying. There has been naught in the way of designer societies, let alone the code we can write to help get there. Mostly it's the powerless contemplating how fair it would be if they weren't.
