Summary adjacency
between
- web 3 and crypto / Blockchain technology
- communities engaged in regeneration and relocalization
- tinkering at the edge
- missed opportunity
- cosmolocal lens and framework as a leverage point for synthesis
- cosmolocal projects as leverage points
- cross scale translated safe and just earth system boundaries as necessary cosmolocal accounting system
- meme: sync global, act local
- new relationship
- This article explores the untapped potential and leverage point offered by recognising a new adjacency and concomitant synthesis of
- globalising Web 3 and crypto/Blockchain technology
- communities engaged in regenerative and relocation interventions
- The fragmentation between these areas keeps activists working in each respective one
- tinkering at the edge
- severely constraining their potential impact
- This is a case of the whole Berlin car greater than the sun of its parts
- By joining forces in a global, strategic and systemic way, each can achieve fast more through their mutual support
- A cosmolocal lens offers a perspective and framework that makes joining forces make sense<br />
- Projects that recognize that the adjacency between
- the globalizing technologies of web 3 and Blockchains and
- interventions at the local community level
- offer a significant leverage point to bottom up efforts to drive a rapid transition are themselves a leverage point
- In this regard, incorporation of an equitable accounting system such as safe and just earth system boundaries that can be cross scale translated to
- bioregional,
- city and
- community, district and ward scale
- are an important cosmolocal component of a system designed for rapid transition
- Global bottom up community scale events such as the Tipping Point Festival can help rapidly advocate for a cosmolocal lens, framework and strategy
- At the same time, Web 4 technology that's goes beyond decentralising into people-centered can contribute another dimension to humanizing technology
Addendum - 2024, Dec 26 - added a comment to the actual substack page
- My substack comment makes commenters of the article aware that we have a public hypothes.is discussion going on in parallel.
- This makes the hitherto invisible discussion visible to them
