Open source ecology's core work revolves around the distribution of power - as in productive power and economic power. The core question for us is - in the age of AI and automation - who ends up owning the tools of production. If the answer to this question is sound then we can have a Democratic society without existential risk. The trend today is not good, with ultimate Power Concentration at the Trillion Dollar Scale.
Quantities to Understand
- From the Dyson Sphere, the solar constant of 1360 W/m2 emerges. Dyson Swarms are potentially viable, but as of 2026, placing solar energy on the Earth makes most sense.
