  1. If we think of the most powerful people as misanthropic Malthusian accelerationists that are aware of how bad the climate catastrophe is getting, many of their behaviours make sense. I'm not saying this is the whole absolute reality, but the data fits and the causal mechanisms are logically sound. If someone else can provide a more correct model, particularly if it changes the following conclusions, I am interested.
    If we accept this model, it follows directly that they view the majority (>90%) of humanity as something between a disposable resource to exploit to death and a direct enemy to be destroyed as soon as possible.
    Given that conclusion, I ask if it does not follow that all means of self defense and rebellion against them are not justified? Any attempts to dissuade them is against a short timeline of real threat and the urgency this model assumes they are already operating under.
    Any other possible models or conclusions are invited. Pearl clutching and explicit (legally actionable) calls to action will be ignored. And any proposed elaborations or improvemrnts are welcome.

  2. For anyone interested - or who can help talk about #librarysocialism - I’ve been asked to do a repeat presentation of this project to the #CryptoLeftist community. All are welcome!

    We did this presentation before, but the recording was lost, and we had some requests for it. The majority of it is about LibrarySocialism and the software platform of #meansofproduction, with some touching on uses of #blockchain technology and how it can apply here.

  3. Some news on the #meansofproduction and #librarysocialism fronts . . . .

    Major refactor of the domain for MoP has been completed. Working on the server API now, and then the client should be out before too long.

    Also, we're moving our governing DAO to #gnosis shortly.

    Annnnnnnnd along with it - related to this project, I'm planning to release a v0.1 of a #labortoken this month on Citizen Wallet.

    This will be available for anyone that wants to setup a timebank with interchangeable credits.

  4. Neoliberal capitalism suffocates the capacity to even imagine alternatives.

    So when one that is both desirable and clearly articulated pops up, it is important to pay attention.

    Library Socialism is a beautiful idea.

    And we could just choose to do it. No magic tech, no hero needed to save us.

    What if we ran the economy?
