Thanks for the words Will and the reflections Aude. It is always glorious to read the Living System in a different way - revealed as a commitment - which of course is held by the relational constructs of Life/creation itself. I always reflect when I read through GRE to think what stops this happening right now everywhere? what is the barrier that prevents people from stepping in to begin this form of network, I can only answer it with a 'fear' of getting it wrong, not knowing how to begin. To this I just say let us all simply begin!
This article really touched my heart, thank you 💖🙏 I've been looking for ideas / thoughts / experience on how we do this without money or ledgers. Much of this echoes my own thinking... I see a world without money or exchange which works much like an ecosystem, every living being giving what they are naturally designed to do and everything naturally receiving what it needs to thrive, in a complex set of many to many set of relationships that nothing feels the need to count, measure or categorise, it just works beautifully together and enhances the whole.
I'm interested in understanding the scale issues, at what sort of size of community do you feel ledgers become needed? Does the use of sociocracy address the problem of scale somewhat by creating new interconnected circles? Have you seen technology used successfully to support an interactive ledger?
I'd love to connect and chat if you're open to it? Be interested to know what community you were at too. Really helpful article, gave me hope, thanks 💖🙏
SCALE issue spoils this arrangement .. I feel.. Can we have a human bigger than what we are ! 300 kilos , beyond 6 feet, It is not ! Probably scale might be avoidable thing. Scale is the problem we are unnecessarily involving and inviting. Let us enjoy this with smaller scale ! Let me give an example, I saw ANANDWAN a leprosy healing ashram in India developed by Baba Amte. This arrangement fits so well for this portrayal . Some body might say why not Anandwan (Warora near Nagpur, Maharashtra in India ) cant be created global level.. Yes. it can be .. No. It need not be. Why not , why not one more and Anandwan type organization can be created ? Why only we should ask to replicate this Anandwan to be scaled up ? I feel it is unnecessary for us to think and extend our imagined scaling up applied on Anandwan and criticize it saying that it is not scaled up.
Lovely Out looking ! It is LEDGER LESS and LEADERLESS too.. ! Every member assumes oneself a leader.. Truly inspiring piece.
