Why You Should Really Support Us
Our overall vision is deeper. We aim to develop a funding method for supporting world-class open source product development - as a viable alternative to corporate R&D. We're trying to go directly to the people for funding - for benefiting people directly. Imagine a veritable product development pipeline - for a decentralized, post-industrial system of production. We are interested in distributive economics - where wealth is distibuted freely because the enabling information is free- and local feedstocks provide the materials for economies of abundance. This is a scenario that blends ancient wisdoms with modern technology - for unprecedented prosperity in these times of change.
