This is not my post for this month, but I work up with this on my mind and had to get it out, so here ya go:

Some Technical Steps Towards Implementing a Global Resource Based Economy

"In this document I am NOT going to cover the visceral and radical social or political changes that might be required in order to get to this point where we might be able to start this process. That is a whole different issue altogether and will require a massive global values change. I am sort of working on a post that covers parts of this topic - the Disease of Separation. My policy page addresses a global values change on a fundamental level and is a great start towards this work.

This document will be just a broad overview of the technical steps needed. There are many, many more steps especially once start looking at each individual step and other requirements like pollution controls, ecological studies, etc. With each step we complete we are marching ever closer toward a more peaceful, happier, and efficient world where we can eliminate poverty and suffering."

Here is my new post:

The Kardashev Scale of Civilizations

The Kardashev Scale was proposed by Nikolai in his 1964 paper titled The Transmission of Information by Extraterrestrial Civilizations ( 5 pages long ) where he postulated that correlating a civilization’s technological advancement and population growth with the amount of energy they can harvest and consume. Knowing this helps us create a theory on how we could search for alien civilizations by their technological signatures derived from their potential methods of energy usage and harvesting.

My next post The Kardashev Scale of Civilizations is coming out on Friday (2019 Mar 22) and, as a part of that research, I have be gifted with discovering an awesomely educational YouTube channel titled Science and Futurism with Isaac Arthur (SFIA) where he discusses so very many different technical topics dealing with primarily with the science of space and other related technologies. In my above mentioned Kardashev Scale post I reference quite a few of his videos to help people understand not only the Scale itself, but also to be introduced to other interesting related topics.

Human Nature, Competition, Employment, and Housing within a Resource Based Economy

Here is an excerpt from the introduction:

Pursuant to a Facebook conversation I popped into, I am writing this post to help to answer some questions asked about a Resource Based Economy ( RBE ) .  If you do not know what a Resource Based Economy is or why we need to transition to one, then check out my post: The Cancer of Capitalism and Its Antidote where I talk about this and provide a research path for you to learn more.

The Cancer of Capitalism and Its Antidote >

To start answering the questions posed in that Facebook thread you WILL want to read my two other Resource Based Economy posts once you have an idea as to what a RBE is:

• Productivity and Motivation in a Resource Based Economy? which actually answers quite a bit of this issue of motivation within a Resource Based Economy.
• You will also want to read my post which talks about How will a Resource Based Economy work? What will it look like? which also tackles some of these answers too.

Consider these 3 posts as required reading, because the info and ideas there will form the framework or even form the full answers for part of the questions asked. Because answering anything about a Resource Based Economy is never a straight line, this post will be rather long and will cross through various disciplines from psychology, economics, morality, and religion so buckle in for the interdisciplinary ride to talk about competition and human nature within the framework of a Resource Based Economy.

The Continuum of Socialism, an Explanation

I am writing this post to help people understand:

• * why there is so much confusion and such a strong aversion to the word Socialism today
• * why it is very, very misplaced
• * how we need to reframe the socialism conversation.
• Part of these problems are due to:
• * our massively broken education system
  * over a hundred years of governmental propaganda and continuously stoked fears
• 
  

There are technical definitions and then there is the more colloquial usage. I will cover both in this article just for completeness and to help relieve some of the confusion.

Here is my new blog post:

Continuum of Capitalism, an Explanation

For the purposes of this conversation, it does NOT matter who controls the industry or production whether its CEOs and managers or if the workers do. In either case, if the masses ( or Humanity in general ) does not benefit from that control or ownership, or the business or production, then the label of ownership bears no real use. What really matters, when it comes to economic systems, is who benefits the most from all economic matters. Ownership is merely a meta-detail between business and production and who benefits from it.

My next post is titled:

Why you need to vote in EVERY… single… election!

and I hope to have it done in the next few weeks!

I will be running a facilitated discussion on Poverty on Fri, Oct 12 @ 6:45pm at our Yoga Studio which is just on the square here in Baraboo .

Transforming the World: Conversations on Social, Economic, Political, and Sustainable Policy

Description

These FREE conversations will be facilitated by James O’Neill and will focus on social, political, economic, and sexual issues that we have as a globalized society and how to transform our poverty-stricken, violent, and war-torn lands into a peaceful, sustainable, and eco-humanistic globalized existence.

In reading, researching, and writing about a Resourced Based Economy (RBE) over the last year my complete view of the how the world is and how it could be has radically changed. This post will cover how businesses and entire industries could be transformed while attempting to make the world a better place by attempting to fix unbridled capitalism towards a more ethical model for businesses.

How Do We Transform Unbridled Capitalism Towards a New Ethical and Eco-humanistic Model?

In reading, researching, and writing about a Resourced Based Economy (RBE) over the last year my complete view of the how the world is and how it could be has radically changed. This post will cover how businesses and entire industries could be transformed while attempting to make the world a better place by attempting to fix unbridled capitalism towards a more ethical model for businesses.

The end result for manufacturing, businesses, and research is beyond what we would define as businesses or even government, because it transcends these, and eventually requires the end of capitalism and its horrors, so thinking of business in a way that is outside how capitalism defines it can be a difficult feat.

Benefits of a Resource Based Economy for Industries and Businesses

So, I had a Facebook conversation this weekend with someone who asked about Resource Based Economy (RBE) and how it would work, specifically asking about creation of products and getting access to resources, so I will spend some time talking about that and more for his and others’ benefit. Now keep in mind there has never been an RBE in the world, so this is all very subjective and just my projection of what it could and should be like. If you have no idea what a Resource Based Economy is then please read my post The Cancer of Capitalism and Its Antidote for an overview and why we NEED to shift to this socio-economic system in order to save our planet… and humanity from extinction.

How will a Resource Based Economy work? What will it look like?

I am releasing to the general public something I have been working on since December, which is a complete rewrite of the Asgardian Constitution. This work in many ways aggregates and distills over a decade of political and other thought to how we can create a government to change the world.

This is the first part prior to the actual description of how the government works, which is going to be a lot of work, especially since I have not really researched that topic so much.

I have also put together a document to help you understand some of the choices I have made as well as my thought process. This document is not as detailed as I would have liked, because I put it together at the end of this area of work, however, I expect as people come forward to take a look I will be able to answer their questions there for all to see.

• New Constitution for Asgardia 2.0 – Commentary, Scope, and Intent
• New Constitution for Asgardia 2.0 – Part I

In case you are even more bored after having finished that, here are the rest of my Asgardian writings .

This post is really more for the information of others who are not sure what the Asgardian Calendar is or why it is this way. The Asgardian Calendar is the the International Fixed Calendar . I wrote a very large post on this so that everyone can understand what it is and what its advantages are. I have even suggested some reforms to it as well.
