Mark: You and your compatriots on P2P view the world from revisionism. Go ahead and keep looking through your microscope-provided by your "teachers."

Whoa. You should really stop talking. You have NO idea what you're talking about. How about forced acculturation, not allowing them to speak their own language (which hold the record of their own history), confined them under threat of violent force into reservations, among other things. But, really, that's probably not even the worst of it -- the worst of it is that for reasons they couldn't ever understand is why you were doing all of these cruel things when they were willing to share it it all with you. Why, when they handed out their hand to be friends, you chopped it off. Remember, they're the ones who gave us Thanksgiving which is still "celebrated" in this nation today. Read the reports made of making first contact with the Native peoples here. You really should read up before propagating the attitudes of conquest.

We finally launched publicly my first book, The Adaptive Economy. Not shy anymore to speak about what is truly moving me and my community, and here it is. But that’s really not all. Check it out. <https://email.mg2.substack.com/c/eJxVUsuu3CAM_ZrJLhHPQBYsrir1NyIDTobeBFIg93…> Launching publicly my book, The Adaptive Economy on my birthday 16.02.2021. 10 years ago I first discovered what “Impact” meant 10 years ago when I was still a student. In Paris, I got the chance to meet some random folks, one of them was Thomas Landrain <https://email.mg2.substack.com/c/eJw1kFuKhDAQRVdjPqXyUONHPgaG3sAsQPIo7dCaOD…> and another weird bird was Benjamin Tinq <https://email.mg2.substack.com/c/eJw1kFuKhDAQRVdjPqXyUONHPgaG3sAsQPIo7dCaOD…> & Xavier Duportet <https://email.mg2.substack.com/c/eJw1kFmKhDAQhk_TeZRsmviQh4GhLzAHkCylHUYTyd…>. I first joined my PhD student friend Thomas as one of the first 5 founding members of La Paillasse, Europe's first hacking, robotics & biotech Makerspace, which at that point was situated illegally in an abandoned garage from SNCF (the french trains company). A few weeks later I was helping Benjamin as a volunteer organizing Ouishare Fest <https://email.mg2.substack.com/c/eJwlkMuOhSAMhp9GlqZcVFywmM28huFSlYyCATzGtx…>, the first sustainability festival in Europe which became a community of 100,000+ members around the world promoting a sustainable way of living ( recycling, solar energies, hydroponics, distributed farming, etc). <https://email.mg2.substack.com/c/eJxVUsuOpSAQ_ZrrTsNTcMGiM8n8huFRekkr2IDdc-…> A few months later La Paillasse <https://email.mg2.substack.com/c/eJwlkM2OhSAMhZ_msjTlR8UFi9nMaxB-qpcMggG8E9…> was gathering 100+ people per meetups, ranging from cyber hackers from Annonymous hiding using our IP, Ph.D. students who wanted a space to hack at night out of the academy, to design school students who wanted to make some tech people use 3D printers or drones. And that is when the Maire of Paris discovered us through the police raiding our space to kick us out first, then by inviting us to her office and giving us 1m$ to start a proper space in the middle of Paris highest society area: my first NGO experience was born. We got the chance to finally materialize our dreams, having a massive 700 sqm space *to enable anyone who wanted to learn tech, no matter their background, no matter their ambitions*. <https://email.mg2.substack.com/c/eJxVUtuOpiAMfprfOw0nBS-4mGyyr2EKVH8yCg7gzL…> Top left to bottom right: (1)La Paillasse in WIRED magazine, (2) Our makerspace & open tech academy (3)La Paillasse visited by the Governor of Paris, (4)Our space map, (5)Find me It was all exciting and growing fast, but… we didn’t have any experiences to run an NGO, neither a massive space, neither a massive online global community of 100,000 hackers & makers following our projects across 6 other marker spaces partners. That is when I realized I needed to go back to school… Business school… and I decided to take this opportunity to do something completely different than my *NGO saving the world inspirations* and joined an Ecommerce company Lazada in South East Asia to learn *business *for a while. A year later I was starting GetLinks, which you know took me 6 years to build up to this stage of being a multi-million dollar business. Last year <https://email.mg2.substack.com/c/eJxVUtGOpSAM_ZrrmwYKKD7wMNlkf8MUqF4yCo7gzN…> Last year we published the manifesto of the Atlas Movement. And that got us to speak for the United Nations’s team for the first time. 1st January last year, in the conclusion of my book, The Adaptive Economy, I was writing: “The Achilles heel of this text which claims to channel economic, political and moral effects towards new challenges is that the reader ends up in a legitimate position to ask at the end “All that seems pretty good to hear, but at the end, what do I do tomorrow and what this can practically change for me, my friends and surrounding this year? Should I start organizing meetups? Shall I invest in a bunker? Or in biotechnology? *There is a solution: engineering a new economical, political and moral paradigm based on sustainable technology and more conscious society. Saving our planet is the one job of our generation, and we need to give everyone some hope for this to happen, we need to give everyone a new Eldorado to join, a new reality to be part of, a new society, Atlas society.”* It is now happening, and you can be part of it! The prophecy is happening <https://email.mg2.substack.com/c/eJxVUt2OpiAMfZrPOw0UFLzgYrLJvobhp_qRUXAAZ9…> And after 10 years of waiting, it was time. To my relentless readers, last week was a great milestone for The Adaptive Economy. We publicly announced and launched Atlas Society alongside 1000+ online viewers. <https://email.mg2.substack.com/c/eJwlkN2OhCAMhZ9muDSlIOAFF3uzr2H4qQ5ZBaM4E9…> Atlas, the society and movement I have though about 10 years ago and announced in the conclusion of the book 1 year ago is finally started to materialize with a kick off event, and hopefully the first of a long journey.

Sapiens.org : Anarchism in Practice Is Often Radically Boring Democracy
by Dante-Gabryell Monson 25 Feb '21

25 Feb '21

https://www.sapiens.org/culture/anarchism-democracy/ "What is anarchism apart from these caricatures? And how does it relate to “antifa”? The term “anarchy” literally means “without [a] ruler,” and not, as many believe, “no rules.” Although many anarchists want radical change, the change that most envision is not societal breakdown but rather people learning to collectively rule themselves <https://theconversation.com/what-is-anarchism-all-about-50373> (or in other words, direct democracy). The basic premise guiding anarchist political philosophy is simple: Humans are fundamentally cooperative <https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-prince-of-evolution-peter-kr…> by nature and, when given the chance, flourish in situations of collective self-governance <https://press.princeton.edu/books/paperback/9780691161037/two-cheers-for-an…>. By self-governance, anarchists typically mean an arrangement in which every person has an unalienable right to participate fully in any political decision made on their behalf—and to leave any association that makes a decision they find unconscionable. Taking the term in this broadest sense, attempts at anarchist societies or collectives over the last two centuries have been numerous and persistent, if often short-lived. However, as anthropologists like to point out <https://www.prickly-paradigm.com/titles/fragments-of-an-anarchist-anthropol…>, humans organized themselves in stateless societies <https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300169171/art-not-being-governed> with great success for much of ancient history, and many continue to do so in various ways, without using the label “anarchy.” In fact, “state-level” societies have existed for only a fraction of the roughly 300,000 years modern humans have thrived—emerging an estimated 5,000 years ago <https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F978-0-387-72611-3_10>—and should still be regarded as an experiment, with mixed results." ... " As an anthropologist who has studied and worked with leftist activists in the U.S. for more than a decade, I’ve come to understand anarchy as something that looks very different from the violent, lawless chaos that many people picture it to be. ... The use of the term “anarchy” to describe the riot isn’t shocking—violent chaos is, after all, one of its generally accepted meanings. But it has little to do with how actual anarchists understand and apply their political philosophy. While an exciting idea, anarchism in practice is, well, boring. Far from what window-smashing insurrectionists are doing, it mostly takes the form of an extremely slow-moving and highly rule-bound process of collective deliberation. Anarchy, paradoxically, means more rules, not fewer, and more collective responsibility <https://www.routledge.com/Constructive-Anarchy-Building-Infrastructures-of-…>, not less. Unfortunately, since much of the United States has been misled <https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/22/technology/antifa-local-disinformation.h…> into thinking that anarchists—specifically, those involved with “antifa <https://www.nytimes.com/article/what-antifa-trump.html>”—were responsible for the putative anarchy at the Capitol, an impressionable observer might think that actual anarchists want violent chaos. The cognitive dissonance would be amusing if the situation weren’t so horrifying. If there had been *actual* anarchy in the Capitol that day, rather than a right-wing insurrection, Ernst and her Republican colleagues would likely have been in for a long, well-facilitated meeting aimed at complete consensus.

L’« islamogauchisme » n’est pas une réalité scientifique | CNRS
by Dante-Gabryell Monson 19 Feb '21

19 Feb '21

Similar polarization, but with different words used to put forth logical fallacies, are used by the french extreme right in the French speaking world as ad personam against "the left" https://www.cnrs.fr/fr/l-islamogauchisme-nest-pas-une-realite-scientifique " « L’islamogauchisme », slogan politique utilisé dans le débat public, ne correspond à aucune réalité scientifique. Ce terme aux contours mal définis, fait l’objet de nombreuses prises de positions publiques, tribunes ou pétitions, souvent passionnées. Le CNRS condamne avec fermeté celles et ceux qui tentent d’en profiter pour remettre en cause la liberté académique, indispensable à la démarche scientifique et à l’avancée des connaissances, ou stigmatiser certaines communautés scientifiques. Le CNRS condamne, en particulier, les tentatives de délégitimation de différents champs de la recherche, comme les études postcoloniales, les études intersectionnelles ou les travaux sur le terme de « race », ou tout autre champ de la connaissance.

No. You’re Not Getting “Canceled” for Being a Conservative | Jayson D. Bradley
by Dante-Gabryell Monson 19 Feb '21

19 Feb '21

Discerning accountability, As per American political polarization and logical fallacies ( and its unfortunate reproduction beyond american political contexts ) https://www.patheos.com/blogs/jaysondbradley/2021/02/cancel-culture/ " People are experiencing real-life accountability and consequences for pushing baseless conspiracy theories, denying science, promoting hate and violence, and showing insensitivity to others. If you want to claim those are conservative or Christian values, that’s on you. The plain truth is that people are experiencing consequences for being cruel because they’ve embraced the idea that being sensitive to others is “politically correct.”

Fwd: Cross-party report urges green recovery from Covid: Positive Money response - embargoed Weds 17 Feb at 0.01am

16 Feb '21

thanks for respecting the embargo ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Anna Pick <press(a)positivemoney.org> Date: Tue, Feb 16, 2021 at 5:19 PM Subject: Cross-party report urges green recovery from Covid: Positive Money response - embargoed Weds 17 Feb at 0.01am To: Michel Bauwens <michel.bauwens(a)p2pfoundation.net> Good morning, Below is Positive Money’s embargoed response to the Environmental Audit Committee’s latest report: ‘Growing back better: putting nature and net zero at the heart of the economic recovery’. Please get in touch if you would like more information or to arrange a briefing with a spokesperson. Many thanks, Anna ------------- UNDER STRICT EMBARGO 00:01 WEDNESDAY 17 FEBRUARY Research and campaign group Positive Money welcomes a new report from MPs on the Conservative-led Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) which concludes that Covid-19 is a symptom of environmental breakdown and sets out how the government can enable a green economic recovery from the crisis. Titled ‘Growing back better: putting nature and net zero at the heart of the economic recovery’, the report was a result of the EAC’s ‘Greening the post-Covid recovery’ inquiry, for which Positive Money presented oral evidence. Among the recommendations, the report calls for the government to clarify the Bank of England’s mandate to include climate and nature objectives, to take steps to reduce the carbon intensity of financial markets, as well as a range of fiscal and financial incentives for a green recovery. The report comes as the Chancellor is expected to make key changes to the Bank of England’s mandate alongside the March Budget, which will enable it to take more action on climate change. Simon Youel, Head of Policy and Advocacy at Positive Money, said: “For all the talk of ‘build back better’, the government’s response to Covid has so far bailed out an environmentally destructive and unequal ‘business as usual’, which drove us towards this crisis in the first place. “The Environmental Audit Committee’s report puts further pressure on the government and the Bank of England to get their act together and take concrete steps to green the economy ahead of this year’s crucial COP26 climate summit in Glasgow. “The government has a huge opportunity to kickstart a fair and green recovery in the March Budget. Alongside wide scale public investment in green jobs, the Chancellor needs to make sure his changes to the Bank of England’s mandate are as strong as possible, to allow our central bank to do everything necessary to shift billions of pounds away from fossil fuels and towards green alternatives ahead of COP26.” Notes 1. In January, the Conservative MP and Chair of the Environmental Audit Committee, Philip Dunne, wrote to the Bank of England calling for it to align its bond purchases with 1.5C ahead of COP26: https://positivemoney.org/2021/01/environmental-audit-committee-blasts-bank… <https://positivemoney-org-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/Redirect?ukey=1W5tFRRs…> 2.

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Stefan Meretz via Commoning <commoning(a)lists.commons-institut.org> Date: Sun, Feb 14, 2021 at 2:26 PM Subject: [commoning] Workshop »Envisioning Post-Capitalist Societies via Simulation« To: Commoning <commoning(a)lists.commons-institut.org> Dear all. On February, 18th/19th, 2021, the project „Society after Money“ is holding a workshop online: „Envisioning Post-Capitalist Societies via Simulation – Critique, Utopias and Agent Based Modelling“. PDF-Flyer: https://nach-dem-geld.de/wp-content/uploads/Post-Capitalist-Utopia-Poster.p… How might a post-capitalist society look like? How can we conceive modes of production and coordination that no longer rely on money, markets and the state? Is this possible on a large-scale, not only as small community projects, but society-wide? The interdisciplinary research group „Society after Money“ (funded by the Volkswagen Foundation), whose goal is to build an Agent Based Model of a post-capitalist economy that can serve as a laboratory to foster thinking about a society after money via experimentation, has invited scholars from respective fields to debate the nexus of critique, utopia and simulation.
