It's an idea that has been rolling around in my brain for a while. Every where I look I see an antiquated system that needs redone.

But who is going to do it?

Do we pass a law, force people's hands, steal from them, grease palms, build it and tell people for its their own good?

Government is a lagging indicator of society, literally the last people I want to design the future for my children.

Though I have my opinions on government and their role in people's lives (lol) my project is LARGELY apolitical. In fact, I would go as far as to say its ABOVE politics and is objectively closer to the "right way" of doing things than we are currently practicing as a society. In fact, I would hope to build a strong enough case for some things that they should be demanded and expected in a civilized society.

It's hard for me to precisely give a summary of what I want to write in this book but I would say a large chunk of it has to do with "Permaculture".

Though I said I want my project to be largely apolitical, there are some discussions that must be made. I personally am a "bottom-up" decentralization-supporting anarchist (buzzwords!) that believes systems that are existing that are said to help society may be part of the reason we are being held back.

It is my personal believe that some systems we use as a society DISCOURAGES resilience and ENCOURAGES dependency from a top-down centralized system prone to failure and bottlenecks.

This also manipulates the money supply and value as people are DISCOURAGED from actually creating value themselves and are ENCOURAGED to make things for others, leaving them little to barter with except money which itself is being manipulated. This creates an excessive value of acquiring that fiat.

Lots of money is made and lost just in the transactions - there are better ways but systems must be mindfully built to support it.

Some Topics:

• How people from Rural, Suburban, and Urban areas are using the same words but not talking about the same things. (There is a disconnect in language, can we overcome this?).
• Some people believe the only answer is to leave the city, some people think you need to fix where you are. I think both points are only reactive responses to the current situation, the real answer is neither (in my opinion, hopefully I will be able to lay that out in an easy to understand way).
• Food systems and how they are set up to discourage providing our own food
• Labor markets are largely controlled by their government - how does this hold people back?
• Can we recreate systems and resilient networks?
• Can we take things we have learned from crypto communities and networks to learn how people work together?

One topic that I hope I can answer is: Technology has done a great job of connecting us globally but disconnecting us locally. Can we rebuild these systems in a way that works for us locally?

Please follow me on my journey as I try and flesh these ideas out.

I hope to have a weekly stream on Vimm, Twitch, and Kick (EricWilson under all 3) where I discuss topics I am working on as I try and learn more to research for this project.
