// - 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.

If done solely from a business perspective, the administration ought to be looking very closely on what their "product" actually is and the quality of what they're directly selling and to whom. It sounds like they ought to re-evaluate their priorities and might benefit from reading The Fall of the Faculty by Benjamin Ginsberg. Is it worthwhile to get a bulk discount and buy a couple hundred copies to send to the deans and senior administration?

This feels like the project partner thing from before - income households can't access the support themselves, so you need an intermediary to arrange someone with a tax bill to recude, and presumably take a cut in the process.
