- COMMENTS
- This is a very insightful interview with Michel that provides a lot of historical contexts for the many challenges faced by contemporary society
- Within these historical contexts, we can glimpse how today's problems are part of a repeating pattern, albeit with many new elements that have emerged
- He offers the possibility of a commons approach of mutualization,
- in particular cosmolocalism
- as a powerful leverage point to evolve a future wellbeing civilization
- Contexualizing modernity in the alternate growth and downfall periods of human civilizations, he points out how we are in a transition period in which the current system is fraying
- He outlines the many seed forms that exist now which, just like those that appeared in past cycles of downfall, combined to emerge the next growth cycle
- crypto and blockchain - which can provide a global way of coordinating planetary health
- the internet in general, which can bring mutualization of knowledge for locailzed production
- There are some strong exemplars of promising seed forms but to scale,
- the cosmo processes have to integrate with
- local, place-anchored processes such as permacutlure and bioregion-based regeneration.
