Revision as of 20:54, 27 November 2006
Aims
- to write a paper which explains why the current systems or organisational ways of doing things don't work and what can be done instead.

- show that the current problems can be solved by 'the project'
Structure
- Introduction
- A New Way of Living
- imagine this... or A vision
- describe feeling
- Sustainability
- The laws of thermodynamics apply to all systems including organisations, and should form the foundation of a definition of sustainability on which organisations are developed.
- See Energy conservation and Renewable energy
- co-operation and colaboration; create win-win situations
- transparency; share instead of hiding => open standard (incl. information)
- info, knowledge and technology accessible for everyone
- open source movement
- reuse and utilisation - access not ownership
- knowledge: no intelectual property => more time to improve and no need to work on the same things without sharing
- resources: mex effective and eficient use (see social capital)
- sharing facilities: e.g. one big meeting house in the middle, 5 smaller settlements with individual houses (or shared houses), sharing bathroom and kitchen facilities in order to meet sustainability criterias (add drawing for clearification)
- p2p
- network social and comp
- see p2p network, p2p meme/concept
- all aspects changeable
- think global, act local
- Think global, act local
- e.g. choose level of centralisation appropriated to situation/problem (water, energie, food)
- Advantages of this way
- Current Way of Living
- Philosophical Foundations

- Bretton Woods
World Bank, IMF, BIS, Federal Reserve System, Fractional-reserve banking, Usury
- Free Markets
- consumerism: goods, entertainment, information, relations...all areas
- Globalisation
- 'grow beacuse you can' mentality
- see Corporate personhood, Globalisation, w:Anti-globalization
- Occuring Problems
- intelectual property prevents re-use => re-inventing and parallel inventing => result is less then what it could be
- Occuring Problems
- only priviledged have access to certain info, knowledge and resources
- hidden information -> unconcious about 'my impact' and what's happening
- profit
- competitive model with the aim for maximum profit rather then maximum harmony
- against each other instead of together - win-loose instead of win-win
- few have heaps, lots have little
- see Poverty
- rigid systems, little flexibility to react on new problems
- non-sustainable - exploitation of natural(incl human) resources
- repair more expensive than buy new
- polution
- Roadmap - Transition periode
- Answer: How can we get from now to then?
- Sanctuaries
- wikipedia as an example for the new way of non-hirachic colaboration
- p2p on a social level
- freely accessible info for everybody
- truely democratic
- Conclusion
- Answer: Why do we want to change?
- new way is not just desireable in itself, but also solves all those problems(threatening human kinds' existence) created by the current way
- Bibliography
- points to go...somewhere:
- communication
- self-responsibility
- prohibition
- 'i just work here' mentality
- common sense (definable?) vs. regulations/policy/law
- ownership
