So I’ve spent a bit of time over the past few years trying to reason my way trough society breaking away from our capitalist overlords.

Let me try to summarize some of my thinking as simply as possible; you start a second economy, one founded using Blockchain technologies and algocracy, with an utter focus on human welfare and ensuring resistance to tampering and unjust accumulation of power and wealth. You siphon the global population over to this new economy effectively stifling the old economy where the totality of the 1%'s wealth resides and is therefore rendered worthless.

The above is by no means a complete summary and there are a bunch of other concepts loosely associated with this such as environmental sustainability, transhumanism, degrowth, fostering small communities etc.

I’ve written about DACs, one of the components of the above here: https://sturlabragason.github.io/blog/2023/07/04/Decentralized-Autonomous-Communities.html

    Well find some ppl irl that are well versed in theory and have interest in praxis as well. Go to meetings of groups etc. talk to people. Then after some time of absorbing that and coming up with solutions, present them to the group.

    Basically if you can admit you don’t have a solid basis for your solutions (theory wise) it means you would gain a lot from listening more. You’d be surprised by how good your own ideas can get after some years of listening to people and their ideas.

    Doesn’t mean you can’t tinker and come up with ideas in the meantime. Just have the self-consciousness to recognise they probably are still not it y’know.

      Yeah I apologize if I seemed dismissive of theory in general.

      Here is my general outlook, which is heavily biased by my background in software development. Everything can and should be improved by iterative process, and can be operated on in a similar manner to open-source software. If my concepts are lacking in theory that is simply because they should be viewed as incomplete and open for MAJOR improvements, in all areas. They should be improved upon by a team of experts, and improvements made where needed. They are living and breathing and currently in release 0.0.1. They can be forked and modified. They can have upstream and downstream dependencies. They should be a part mesh of components, practical, theoretical, physical, digital etc.

      Also it’s my garbage answer for anything I can’t answer right now; “it’ll be fixed in the future by iterative process” 😄
