The Great Recovery
When you begin to realise just how serious this mess has all become it is easy to get trapped by the futility tar-baby, stuck in the blame and complaint response. Instead, focus your efforts on helping lay tracks in a better direction.
Background
In the decades that followed WWII the global system called ‘Economic Development’ seemed to work quite well: it tapped into new resources, now since depleted. By that same means ‘Sustainable Development’ will also work quite well for a while, accessing other new resources for long enough to ensnare the world into a global control grid of digital slavery.
That ensnarement will rely largely upon an unproven assertion that such control is vital for meeting the Sustainable Development Goals. But the SDGs are oxymoronic flimflam; the same old emperor posing in see-through green; just another global ‘crisis’ rollout by the same old gang that brought about WWII. Posturing as benign protectors of the environment, they are gnawing your worth out through your bank account, crushing your country under a burden of debt, spreading artificial disease, divisiveness, disinformation and displacement into every corner possible, imposing control by every Machiavellian means… unity through homogeneous disintegration.
This now is their 18th hole, the ball is already in the air. In the clubhouse (Our Common Agenda) the fans are cheering… it looks like a hole in one: game over, empire forever.
The Great Recovery
Essentially, Economic Development as a global operating system has burnt out the planet. It needs to be replaced at its core. The key to rolling out such change is a widespread and thorough understanding of ‘sustainability’.
Sustainable Abundance is a replacement operating system which offers that potential. Decentralised and multi-tiered it applies governance at every level in the exact same way, through a context of mutually agreed commitments whereby decisions are settled transparently according to a foundational hierarchy of compliance, as follows…
- Laws of Sustainability (top level)
- Constitutional rights
- Moral consensus
- Legislature (lowest level)
Heedless of Race or Religion
Everyone needs a place to live and access to healthy food. Then consider a hierarchy of semi-autonomous sovereign entities, starting with the family unit:
Levels such as:
1. Household (homesteading)
2. Household-cluster (vis. Rural Resettlement)
3. Village
4. Village-cluster
5. Township (One Small Town1 2)
6. County, Province, etc.
… each with its own decision-making committee-council. No level is allowed which does not have a representative from each of the sovereign entities directly beneath it, and decision-making is all according to the hierarchy of compliance as noted above. It is a multi-level, geographical-dispersed Land-Food-People system with integrated, bottom-up self-governance. But food and housing are only part of what people need, so service and industrial sectors must be included. Dealings outside the sovereign entities are a potential vulnerability, and so some way to keep these sectors transparent and beholden needs implementing.
Decision-making
Electoral democracy needs to be revised, or replaced. Its current form only benefits those societies which are already unified through a deeply-connective common culture, as in Japan. In multi-segregated Western cultures democracy has become increasingly hackable by wealth and so increasingly useless for its intended purpose, and ultimately divisive. An alternative which suits this model is sociocracy3.
