Ch. 3 The Beginning

Aloha this is six minutes to save the world, a weekly podcast where I spend six minutes of sound to describe software that’s being developed, the thinking around it and little discourse on our current state of humanity on earth.

the first couple weeks were pretty broad statements and hopefully enough space for some dialogue to begin, and before I really start getting into the nitty gritty of functionality I’d like to spend some time really homing in what the guide may present to us as humans and individuals.

Last week was a little intense, I admit, but power distribution is a seriously ignored part of a big elephant size issue that everyone seems to be looking to fly over it on a drone around under and even warping space time around it, yeah we’re on the verge of sending messages across space without have to go between. If you don’t believe me, there’s more than one country and China just got on the bandwagon.

Ok, so here’s this huge issue, some call parts of it economics, because it’s so big. I mean we have to go from thinking about our family to our company to the whole world, its inevitable there’s some important data getting lost in the effort

We’re just human beings, that on average can process about 150 people. That’s each of us. We get about a 150 friends, that’s peope we remember their names, something about them have personal feelings and attachments to, and that number is fluid and changing constantly. But thats what some science has pointed to, that’s basically a humans village. 150 people.

and now that we know of things that can connect us worldwide, that 150 people can be connected by a couple degrees to the whole world, so in essence, we can have a drum circle that spans the world. I mean, really feel connected to everyone, just by knowing that our village is connected in some way to everyone.

A big kumbaya

But, and this is a big one.

theres a relation to how our efforts our coordinated.

There is a method of organization that we accept more or less here in the west, and in some places mimicing this rapid industrialization or economic growth model.

We feel it in our workplaces and it follows us home. It disconnects us and we as humans need a certain amount of connection, we need a village, our children need a village.

What if there were another way, something better? Something that allowed all of us to join the conversation into how productive we want to be and where that productivity should go. What freedom would that be like? Our roots plus technology..

Work as art, invention as exercise, the true joy back in sharing, community as life, food like passion.

I’m talking the collective power of humans, squandered through bureaucracy and outdated management, taken back through the logistical prowess of our communities. Aided by technological support. It could be an inventive Renaissance the likes the world has never seen.

And what we designate as our parameters, our guidelines, to help organize

ourselves, our families, our communities our environment, our habitats, those will be the defining features of our futures, our limitations our wings.

theres really nothing stopping us but organization, friendship and maybe a local potluck.

I’m admitting that these our the answers I’ve seen when enough dedicated individuals pool enough resources to make those realites.

Now let’s 21st century that idea, and make the resources available to the individuals and groups trying their best and helping save us one act of kindness at a time.

Let’s help those folks, and really that’s all of us, realize the true potential of organizing in a technological age of wonder.

Let’s build wonders.
