A crash course in changing the world.
The future
In 10 years I'd like to be splitting my time between my mountain hom in the South of France and sailing the world. I would have finalized my long-term goal of having found a viable alternative economic system and be sharing it with the world in my writing.
I would be doing expeditions (for fun) through perhaps Earthwatch working with whales and dolphins. This has been a life long dream and product of my love of the ocean. I would also be participating in projects that are focused on cleaning up the plastics which have inundated our waterways and ended up in great vortexes in our oceans forming continental size mountains of petrochemical waste.
I would hopefully be fulfilling a lifetime goal of learning to play the piano and compose music. This was the dream of my childhood that was lost due to early familial trauma. I have become quite interested in how music and beauty might heal our dis-eased world and experimenting with sound to rebalance myself and others.
If called upon to assist in the Tokyo food crises, I would perhaps suggest sending a shipment of seeds and nuts. As these are the life sustaining parts of plants, I have learned first-hand of their importance in times of famine and having to do without. Hopefully by that time in the future, there will be more widespread, sustainable, biodiverse options for food production and distribution. This will mean other areas closer to the source might offer assistance with fresh fruits and vegetables which are more life-sustaining and healing-- Especially important after traumatic events which I assume would be the case in a crises.

We tool! Don't worry, I get up everyday and work toward making these dreams a reality. I am reminded, as I have been reading Buckminster Fuller's Grunch of Giants, that the gestation period of things is of different length depending on the project...hopefully my concept is about to be born.

For your economic system, have you looked at the natural living economy that already exists in the real world of nature? It's a more permaculture way of using the resources of the wh*** system to take care of the wh*** system. It's how I live most of the time, and it's really wonderful!

Yes thanks Turil I became aware of permaculture via one of your posts. At some level, I have felt that the project I have been working on which is combining my passion for economics which began 25 years ago with my study of energy as is expressed in ancient medicines is dovetailing and is but an intermediary step to a more sustainable one as is probably more in line with permaculture. Step by step...I have been reminded over and over that life is an organic process and all things evolve in their own gestation time which is different for each process of thing that is evolving.

In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out.

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

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
