interrogate - bit of confusion here between somewheres and nowheres - need clarification - Is the article saying that the somewheres have effectively become nowheres? - Take the example of Trump's MAGA followers. Are they nowheres because they feel the threat of immigrants taking over their country? - somewheres are the legacy of cultural evolution in isolated pockets dues to natural geological barriers (See The Economist article in link below) - Question - How will the everywhere's help the nowheres when climate migration will become a huge stressor? - The postiive feedback loop of extreme right beliefs that are essentially climate denialist helps to create a lock condition of worsening migration and further alienation

adjacency - between - somewheres, nowheres and everywheres - Deep Humanity individual / collective gestalt - new relationship - Michel begins the essay by doing away with simple, absolute assumptions about society. - We are each and collectively a mixture of - cooperative and - competitive tendencies - This echoes the evolutionary description of an individual as a distinct living system that is demarcated from its environment so is - in competition with other individuals for resources in order to survive as an individual organism - at the same time that it cooperates with other types of individuals that can enhance its individual and collective (species) survival - In other words - competition and collaboration are often intertwingled phenotypes necessary for evolutionary fitness - The irony of the individual (human being) is that (s)he is - a multi-cellular organism - so is biologically simultaneously both an individual AND a collective. - furthermore, since the individual - eats a diverse variety and number of once living organisms and - inputs and integrates a very large number of ideas from other individuals - is the biological and psychological assimilation of artefacts from a large number of other living and once living organisms.

• summary

• learned something new
  • I learned a number of new ideas from reading Michel's article. He gives a brief meta-history of our political-socio-economic system, using Peter Pogany's framework of Global System One, Two and Three and within this argues for why a marriage of blockchain systems and cosmolocal production systems could create a "fourth sector" for the transition to Global System Three.
  • He cites evidence of existing trends already pointing in this direction, drawing from his research in P2P Foundation

• for: definition - somewheres - nowheres - everywheres

• Michel Bauwens provides a summary and theoretical analysis of

  • the current stagnant, polarized and highly charged political environment, as well as
  • a proposed third commons-based option that could mitigate the problem.

• In this analysis, he introduces new terminology to describe the three categories of salient actors:

  • somewheres
  • nowheres
  • everywheres
