summary - A good article introducing cosmo-localism as a logical vasilation of failed markets and states, swinging the pendulum back to the commons as a necessary precursor to rapid whole system change

• What does contributing to a common mean?

• Take permaculture as an example:

  • you stand with your feet in the mud, a metaphor for reconnecting with the land and the earth, without whose cultivation no one can survive.
  • The permaculturists’ heart is in their local community, but
    • their brain and
    • the other part of their heart
  • are in the commons of global permaculture.
  • They have extended their identity beyond the local,
    • acquiring a trans-local and trans-national identity.
  • They haven’t done so through an alienating concept of corporate globalisation,
    • like an uprooted elite individual,
  • but through deep participation in a true constructive community,
    • which is helping to solve the metacrisis that alienates most of us.
• Cosmolocalism is synonymous with deep-rooted but extremely rapid global innovation

• summary

• learned something new
  • I learned a number of new ideas from reading Michel's article. He gives a brief meta-history of our political-socio-economic system, using Peter Pogany's framework of Global System One, Two and Three and within this argues for why a marriage of blockchain systems and cosmolocal production systems could create a "fourth sector" for the transition to Global System Three.
  • He cites evidence of existing trends already pointing in this direction, drawing from his research in P2P Foundation

• for: collective action, bottom-up, bottom-up movement, M2W, individual/collective
• Civil society is the sector where the power of We the People ultimately and properly resides.
• Consequently, in the fully functioning Ecological Civilization,
  • government and business sectors must be
  • creations of and
  • accountable to
  • a civil society of people who embrace
    • the rights and
    • responsibilities
  • of their citizenship at all system levels from - the local to - the global.
• We can be citizens of only one locality.
  • But we are all citizens of Earth—and the many levels in between.
• This must be acknowledged by any truly democratic system of self-governance.

cosmolocal production (design global, manufacture local or what's light is shared, what's heavy is produced) can also help alleviate hyperthreat supply chain vulnerabilities, democratize production and increase local wealth at the same time (Ramos, Edes, Bauwens & Wong, 2021)

IPCC AR6 WGIII Chapter 5: demand, services and social aspects of mitigation identifies that up to 45% of mitigation can result from a demand-side socialization strategy and collective action mobilization. This gives us tremendous power of impact to mobilize people. The low hanging fruit can be identified by comprehensive, ongoing, deep, global conversations with the greatest diversity of actors with a common vision collectively searching for the social tipping points, leverage points and idling resources and scaling massively thru the Indyweb as a cosmolocal network (what's light we share, what's heavy we produce locally).

Climate scientist and realist Professor Kevin Anderson has argued for many years that demand side changes are the only solutions that can be implemented rapidly enough to peak emissions and drop emissions rapidly in the short term (next few years), buying time for reneewable energy solutions to scale globally.

A new social imaginary of cosmolocality, where we spend most of our time locally, but use information technology as the prime method for nonlocal communication. In other words, replacing transportation with lower footprint communications.

In the field of production and provisioning systems, cosmolocal production implies designing and sharing designs globally, and downloading the appropriate ones for local clean production, thereby minimizing global supply chains.

Graduated relocalization that begins to replace auto transportation with pedestrian and bike traffic can result in huge decarbonization impacts. This relocalization movement is also an economic reconfiguration, echoing what community economist Michael Shuman refers to as the movement from Wall Street to Main Street - decentralizing centralizing organizations when feasible, and creating more community wealth while decarbonizing unnecessarily long supply chains.
