Message from the Founder
As Founder of OSE, I'd like to share some insights on what it takes to develop and move this project forward.
I believe that reinventing community-based solutions of localized production is the single most pressing issue facing civilization today.
This issue would not be so pressing if it were not possible - but the particular convergence of this moment in history makes this both a desirable and inevitable choice. I have committed my life to making this choice a reality.
Artificial material scarcity is a tangible issue - and without going into deeper metaphysical issues - it is one that needs to be addressed. With todays knowledge and technology, and the recent emergence of open source economic development, this issue has a chance of being solved. We have a choice, as humans, to move beyond artificial scarcity.
What is the promise? We don't know - we have never been there yet. We could only guess that the world will be better than it is today.
Today's world is filled with outdated institutions and practices as a supersized civilization is cracking at its seams. As we transition beyond this, we create new, increasingly resilient structures.
