The DarkNet Initiative
In view of the ACT9 mission objective, that asks Agents to create a Dark Site,
a site with information useful in a crisis, I've whipped the following initiative:

Instead of creating hundreds of isolated sites, we should create a network
of dark sites, a place where all these sites can be found integrated over
a social network and… Continue

What's Going On With the Leader Cloud Points???
I'm worried about the fact that the votes from peer agents stopped
registering in the Agents' profile score and also in the leader cloud,
they don't count as votes, I have waited 24 hours after telling
"report an issue" to bring this up.
Proof of concept: go to some agent's profile and take note of the spark score,
then go to one of the posts and vote one spark,
then go back to the profile and refresh the page
and you will see that the vote is not being… Continue

Archery: Indigenous Food Security Capabilities
This is the bow I made inspired by the Mapuche bows,
I made it out of a single branch, the handle is made using some old
monopole wire and the thread is hemp thread.
I chose archery because it's a traditional wisdom that provides
the capability of food security, and resilience.

Human Bankers
Buenos Aires, April 15, 2020
A new bank is opening today in my community,
it has it's own currency, it's own barter system,
and it's a non profit corporation.
After people got tired of the psychopath banksters around 2012,
the complementary currencies and community owned banks,
the LETS systems and the computer assisted barter systems got trendy,
remember when we were the "goy" of the financial industry?
The bank is called the People's Bank,… Continue

John Robb: Resilience as Entrepreneurship
One of the best ways you can prepare for the future is to train yourself to become an entrepreneur -- essentially a person that makes their own economic opportunities. It's going to become a major
differentiator between those that succeed and those that fail in a
harsh global system (this expertise has been deprecated by a system
that prides itself on manufacturing salaried consumption bots). So, as
your salary melts away, your pension evaporates, or your job…

Resilience and the City
I'm gonna touch the issue that is the elephant in the room
of the mission now: Cities are inherently not resilient,
they are in themselves one of the best analogies for centralization, consumption condensation and unbalance.
If you live in a city and the main water supply fails, or the power
goes down, or there is a food shortage, you are done,
there is no adaptation to disruption, there is just no power, no water,
sending the techs to fix… Continue

Economic Resilience
What does your city look like at the end of 10 years of
resilience development? What important new buildings, spaces, and
neighborhoods exist?

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
