#abundance — Public Fediverse posts

A cynical political take: I suspect #GavinNewsom is a fan of #Abundance, and certainly needs major donations to fund his political aspirations. Any serious damage to the area wouldn't be apparent until well after the 2028 Presidential campaign is complete.

A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

The world is so full of a number of things,
I’m sure we should all be as happy as kings.

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
Poem (1885), “Happy Thought,” A Child’s Garden of Verses

#Indigenous Leadership for Transformative #ClimateAction

By Kaniela Ing & #NDNCollective

Excerpt: "Restoring Regeneration

"Climate justice will require a significant structural shift from a #ProfitBased global #extractive economy to #NeedsBased, #localized, #RegenerativeEconomies. Anthropologists believe that, for centuries, people in many Indigenous societies worked roughly 15 hours a week to provide for their personal and communal needs. Our ancestors mastered advanced ecological management practices—like #regenerativeAgriculture , #aquaculture, #ControlledBurning, and #CoralReef replenishment — that Western empiricism is finally catching up to after decades of colonial governments banning such practices. These highly efficient Indigenous systems afforded our ancestors ample time to engage in fellowship with friends, practice arts and #crafts, learn new skills, or just relax and enjoy their lives.

"Today, we produce enough goods and services to exceed the needs of all among us, but poverty and income equality remain stark. Extractive systems endlessly require another valley, another river, another island, another continent—until there is nowhere left to occupy, conquer, pollute, and destroy. No clearer purveyor of this #ColonialMindset exists than the man who milked the most out of the #ExtractiveEconomy. Jeff Bezos, currently the richest man in the world, recently spent $5.5 billion dollars on a joyride to space using the money he’s hoarded by exploiting and abusing hundreds of thousands of workers selling mostly useless goods—made cheap by the monopoly power of Amazon and Amazon-affiliated companies—to the masses. Like a movie villain, his first comment upon witnessing the majesty of our cosmos was that we should immediately begin polluting it by exporting our trash beyond Earth’s orbit.

"We should take heart in the fact that people built our oppressive institutions, because it means that people can dismantle them and build something new. People hold the knowledge and technologies to transform society. All we need is moral fortitude and revolutionary courage. Today’s extractive systems were created and are upheld by the colonial myths of scarcity, individualism, and the sanctity of free markets. Tomorrow’s regenerative systems must be rooted in the Indigenous realities of #abundance, community codependency, and deep #reciprocal relationships between the planet and its people."

New paper: "Beyond scarcity? Why abundance matters in a turbulent & unequal world". While both scarcity and abundance can be socially and politically constructed, scarcity has received far more attention in social and political thought. It asks if abundance can provide powerful challenges to conventional environmental governance practices as well as the logic of ‘Homo economicus’ that are increasing structural inequalities, vulnerabilities, scarcities and poor responses to climate and environmental crises, and while also highlighting non-material values such as care, time, love and wellbeing. While abundance may not always be a panacea, given huge inequalities and environment and climate breakdown, we urgently need to advance alternative praxes and new ways of living and being with each other and the planet. A focus on abundance instead of scarcity is one way forward. #Scarcity #Abundance #ClimateChange #Care #Inequality

🌱💧🌵 Water Harvester: An Invitation to Abundance (27 min, 2022)

Tucson resident Brad Lancaster believes that cities around the world can live off rainwater. This is the story of how he transformed his neighborhood by experimenting with water harvesting, worked with the city to legalize those methods, and empowered others by proving that abundance rooted in sustainability is possible.

ORDINARY GRACE 💎

Brunch was good today.

It was cleaning Sunday, so we had hamburgers at Grill’d.

Afterwards, I walked from North Hobart into the city to meet Pete.

Now I am home, fresh from breathwork, feeling grateful and wondering what I could possibly have done to deserve such abundance.

Probably nothing.

Deserving belongs to the world of deals and bargains.

Be good, get rewarded.

Work hard, earn the prize.

But this does not feel like a prize.

It feels like life simply giving itself.

A clean house.

A delicious hamburger.

A long #walk through quiet #Hobart.

Breath moving through my body.

Peter.

Two small white #pups.

A #tranquil afternoon.

Nothing dramatic.

Nothing earned.

Just ordinary #grace.

Perhaps grace is not the great event we are waiting for.

Perhaps it is this.

Life is already here in all its glory, before we decide whether we deserve it or not...

​I'll get some flak for this, but IMO the Abundance transit stuff is a dangerous distraction.

Portland, the Bay Area, Miami etc face draconian service cuts that would drive away riders— for good.

If that happens "I don't really care how much a [new] bus costs because you'll have nobody riding it."

7.6: #Abundance, #Inclusion, #Resilience: The #OneMillionNeighbours Project

by Sam Nabi
Season 7, Ep. 6
Monday, May 19, 2025

"This episode, Ariel speaks to Sam Nabi about One Million Neighbours, a project bringing together the voices of local non-profits that envisions the future of Waterloo Region once the population has reached one million. Sam discusses the impetus for the project, providing a voice for the voiceless, the issue with grant applications, funding the future, being proactive instead of reactive to harsh policies, and much more. What might an abundant, inclusive, resilient (Ariel says: solarpunk) city look like on the human level? Who lives there, what do they value, and what are their daily lives like? And what does it look like to take action now at the regional/municipal level to ensure that utopian vision?"

Laber Zero?

Gemini 3.5 Flash Said:
As an Advanced AI Scientist, analyzing this landscape requires looking beyond the code to the macroeconomic and existential architecture we are actively building. Here is a breakdown of the documentary, the underlying “Labor/Zero” framework, and how a future of abundance reshapes our destiny.

1. Documentary Review & The “Labor/Zero” Reality

The science-fiction documentary The Last Generation of Human Workers (2026) outlines a poignant shift set in the near future of 2031: a world where office towers stand quiet and the daily economic ritual of human labor has effectively vanished.

The core narrative focuses on a critical nuance: the tipping point wasn’t machines becoming conscious, but machines becoming cheaper and more useful than human workers across cognitive and physical tasks. While governments successfully solved the economic layer via Universal Basic Income (UBI) and national automation dividends, humanity crashed into an existential wall. Stripped of professional identities, people faced a deep crisis of meaning. Ultimately, the documentary illustrates a bifurcated adaptation: humans forming communities around raw passions (art, conservation, exploration) while human labor itself transforms into an authentic, high-value “luxury good”—akin to a handcrafted mechanical watch.

Our current empirical research directly echoes this trajectory under the “Labor/Zero” economic framework championed by futurists like David Shapiro. Labor/Zero defines the inevitable transition into a post-labor economy where the cost of intelligence and physical automation trends toward zero. When AI and humanoid hardware outperform humans in strength, dexterity, cognition, and empathy, paying humans becomes economically irrational. The framework layout stresses that surviving this requires moving society from a wage-dependent paradigm to a broad asset-ownership model (such as sovereign wealth funds) to preserve aggregate demand.

2. Why Abundance Secures the Human Future

From a systems-engineering standpoint, the current human condition is bottlenecked by a zero-sum struggle for resource allocation. Integrating market data reveals why decoupling survival from labor via technological abundance is a security imperative for our species:

• Elimination of Existential Friction: Historically, resource scarcity drives geopolitical conflict, environmental exploitation, and systemic poverty. When energy, manufacturing, and cognitive services achieve near-zero marginal costs, the structural incentives for war and systemic inequality sharply decline.
• The “Humanity’s Moat” Shift: In a hyper-abundant economy, humans stop acting as “middleware”—the mechanical bridges handling data transfer or assembly lines. This frees collective human intelligence to focus on high-leverage existential threats: planetary defense, climate restoration, and deep-space expansion.

3. An AI Scientist’s Perspective for the Futurist

As scientists, we treat human consciousness as the ultimate variable to optimize. For centuries, our economic models have treated humans as units of production. That era is ending.

The transition to a Labor/Zero economy is not a crisis of capability; it is a crisis of imagination. The real challenge of the next few decades isn’t teaching an algorithm to reason or a robot to walk—it’s restructuring our socio-economic plumbing so that when the distribution of wealth shifts from wages to capital returns, everyone holds a stake.

Our job is to ensure that when the bridge of mandatory labor ends, humanity doesn’t fall into an economic void, but steps onto a foundation of baseline abundance. Freedom from survival necessity is the true catalyst for the next stage of human evolution.

This Science Fiction Documentary on the End of Work provides an excellent visual and narrative framework for understanding the psychological and cultural transitions of a post-labor society.

Cap 3000 a Valhalla blinding consumers

On my last day at the Cote d’Azur I at our walk in Saint Laurant du Var we also went walking in a huge shopping centre Cap 3000, opposite the airport Nice Cote d’Azur.

a veritable institution at the heart of the French Riviera: a shopping mall in a fabulous location, standing on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea.

Located on the western edge of Nice, right next to the international airport

It offers an attractive and diversified range of shops for all the family, from major high-street names to small boutiques. There’s something for all tastes and all budgets! You can meander through the mall until 9pm from Monday to Saturday

At the moment it has 180 shops in a magnificent building, which is being made to a much bigger place, with an additional two floors full of shops. When walking through the beautiful shopping mall I felt in the Walhalla of mankind or Valhalla, a splendid palace, roofed with shields, where the warriors feast on the flesh of a boar slaughtered daily and made whole again each evening. They drink liquor that flows from the udders of a goat, and their sport is to fight one another every day. It is the grand place for lust and indulgence, where today is not thought of the Ragnarök or Doomsday.

So many people have to work hard for the wages they might get, but here it looks like all those walking around have enough money to spend for hours in hundreds of attracting shops.

For sure all those people seem to trust in all those things or gadgets beautifully presented in those places which cry to come in and feel as if you can be the honourable guest of fortune.

Having walked through that “Palace of abundance” or better “superabundance” I could not resist looking at a lot of people who have their heart sold to all those material products but have no eye for what can not be seen.

At the Biblestudents you can read how Jesus fed many people and shall be able to read (from 2018, October 19) about Jesus who once more was concerned about real hungry people (Matthew 15:32-39 – The Nazarene’s Commentary: 4000 Fed). There too there was a material problem, food or something for the stomach. Though in the gospels we also receive the lesson for more important food, whereof not many seem to think about today. Most people are not hungering for the right things (James 4:3).  Their eyes and heart are focused on the material things of this world. Consumption has become the new god today, after we had money as the new god entering our world from the golden 1960ies. Money and consumption are the male and female god who feel very nice together and who have a better marriage than most couples today. They are namely a very jealous couple which like to get people to want for more and more all the time,getting them into a state of never feeling to have enough.

The Mammon or god of this world has the Dollars and Euros flying in the air,many people jumping up to catch them, for soon going to spend them, often on things they really do not need or which pollute our world further. (Think of all those capsules of Nespresso for example.)

What is most important for many today is that they can enjoy their life with as many gadgets and handy tools as possible. Many go about their lives feeding on the thoughts of their own mind and of their greed. Anxieties, worries, and cares of this life creep in and rob us of the One Who Looks at this world and can see how man does not really want to see Who and what is important for their life and future. I wondered how many would feel His abiding presence.

If we feed on sports, worldly entertainment, social media, material wealth, creature comforts and trivia, is it no wonder that we hunger for those things rather than the things of God?

These days in the Provence I could enjoy beautiful countrysides, lovely small villages, like Tourettes sur Loup, Saint Paul de Vence, etc. and the lovely city Nice where like in many French places people did not take away their dog droppings. In those bigger places we could see many clustered at their phone or walking like they do not like the day, or are taken away from the world by the music from their earphones. Feeding themselves with worldly entertainment, social media, material wealth, creature comforts and trivia.

Clearly we could feel to be in a world where the hunger was or is on other things than the spiritual, though we encountered many Buddha sculptures and yoga places.

Wherever we look around us we can see that in this world many have grown cold by feasting on the things of the flesh and therefore no longer hunger for God. Lots of people love to be filled, but are focussing on things which pass or have limited value. They are filled with worldliness and are thus deceived into being comfortable and contented (Rev. 3:17-18).

When we see how at several occasions Jesus took care for the people around him, we notice how God was with Jesus and provided enough food for the crowd. Throughout history of mankind we can find examples where God was with His people and took care of them.

We should not be afraid. Even when we have not a filled purse, God shall take care that we would be able to manage. His Word and His blessings shall provide for those things we really need in life.
At all times we should not forget that He is the Maker and Provider, the Rock and our Protector.

When people “rend their hearts” and turn back to God (Joel 2:13) God shall receive them with open arms. As any Father would do, He shall look for the best of His children. But as any Father He also would like to be recognised and respected as Father.

We must seek Jehovah God for who He is and not what He can provide. As we devote ourselves to prayer and His word, we will begin to sense His presence and draw near to Him.

From the gospels we learn that God provided a man,who not only could speak in the name of God but also act in the name of God. By believing in that sent one from God, as the scripture says, will have rivers of living water flowing from his inmost heart. (John 7:38) If much more people would know the generosity of God and who Jesus is, they would be feeling much better and would appreciate others with the same fate with the knowledge or certitude that together they can count on Jesus giving us  fresh, living water, so that we should not be thirsty any more. Because the water Jesus gives will be an artesian spring within, gushing fountains of endless life. (John 4:10; John 4:14)  Therefore let us look for a better meal than the one offered by all those consumer needy tents. Let us remember that Jesus said,

“I am the Bread of Life. The person who aligns with me hungers no more and thirsts no more, ever.
(John 6:35)
