[P2P-F] an evaluation of the flok

[Michel Bauwens]

 Thanks John,

I agree with your perspective, and if you remember my early writings on
flok, that's exactly how I put it then, that we couldn't know what would
happen in Ecuador, but that it would still plant seeds.

Thank you for continuing to share the rough bits Michel

I always looked to FLOK as an 'ambitious' research project that would
produce much value but couldn't imagine that it would really lead to the
sort of change on Ecuador that was hoped.  Though I shared the hopes.

Looking at what you have done (the transition proposal) makes me think of
Holmgren's take on present cultural proliferation? that whilst mostly
wasteful, exactly that wasteful diversity makes the amazing things possible
that will really be of ongoing value as we steward challenging transitions
on this planet (especially as resource constraints will likely soon make
such rich cultural production impossible).

Looking over the transition proposal for the first time recently was
incredibly inspiring.  I think you have produced (more accurately, are
producing) one of the few great gems that will continue to be meaningful
and valuable regardless of how quickly its initial motivation is forgotten.

I write to make sure everyone has an eye on FLOK from this angle.
