People-Centered Internet

People from across the world met for a day and a half in October 2015, to consider:

  • What would it mean to have a truly “People-Centered Internet”?
  • What can we do to get there?

We identified desirable properties for a People-Centered Internet, and interventions that could lead to their realization. Read on for a summary of our discussion. If you are interested in following or participating in this work, let us know.

Erdogan's Dirty Dangerous ISIS Games

More and more details are coming to light revealing that the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, variously known as ISIS, IS or Daesh, is being fed and kept alive by Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Turkish President and by his Turkish intelligence service, including MIT, the Turkish CIA. Turkey, as a result of Erdogan’s pursuit of what some call a Neo-Ottoman Empire fantasies that stretch all the way to China, Syria and Iraq, threatens not only to destroy Turkey but much of the Middle East if he continues on his present path.

Sepp Hasslberger: How Would Nature Design A Financial System? Community Credit!

Commercial Intelligence, Cultural Intelligence, Earth Intelligence

Credit is just as good as money. We can give each other credit. That means we can use our own money, no longer depending on the banks and the speculators…

Community Credit: The Next Generation of Financial Architecture

How would nature design a financial system?

What we can see today, if we choose to look for it, is a global permaculture of community credit systems emerging on the ground, from the bottom up, below the canopy of established finance. These systems, which could also be called community-based mutual credit systems, are consistent with biological design principles in all the ways bank credit is not. They are bottom-up, locally attuned and adapted, decentralized, diverse, self-organized, iterative and modular –  in short, everything we dream of from a biological design perspective.  Perhaps most important, these systems are not premised on quantitative expansion; instead, we could say they are premised on qualitative expansion, with quantitative stability over time. This is consistent with the design of mature biological systems and the phase our species is moving into now, as we reach the limits to our own growth.
