Hi, my name is Marcin - founder of Open Source Ecology. This is take 2 of our recruiting announcement - I forgot to emphasize last time that we're here to change the world.

I was born in Poland, came to the States at the time when Tanks were rolling down my streets. My grandmother was in a concentration camp. I thought about this a lot at an early age - about what happens when resources are scarce - and why resource conflicts are the norm.

Then I came to america, and life was in general great. Until I took the red pill.

I've concluded that material security is a foundational achievement that needs to happen in civilization - if we ever dream to take civilization to the next level. That's why I am working on the Global Village Construction Set - an open source took kit - a life size lego set for of the 50 machines that are necessary to build a modern economy.

My promise to the world is to remove barriers to material scarcity by unleashing access to know-how world wide. I believe in producing material security, autonomy and abundance for all.

That to me is the essence of the open source economy - yet to be created. It's an economy where collaboration instead of competitive waste is the norm in business - where innovation is unleashed 10-100 fold - and it's a world without resource conflict and poverty. I believe that the open source economy will be the next economy - and if seize the chance to create it - we will have mutually assured abundance.

This is what drove me to start Open Source Ecology - right after I finished my PhD - and discovered that I was useless.

The plan is simple. Build the tools. Enable eonomies that allow for a modern standard of living to be created with these tools - from local resources - at 2 hours of work per day.

We are regrouping and reorganizing to achieve this. We are recruiting a number of key positions. First - Operations Manager - to take the weight of the world off my back. Second - machine designers and master prototyper to continue with our core mission - prototyping of the Global Village Construction Set. Third, Construction Director - to continue building infrastructure while our machines are put to rigorous field testing.

We are paying $4k/month, but we would really like to find people - who are so accomplished that they would do this work for free. We are looking for experienced professionals called out for an encore performance - of changing the world.

As Steve Jobs said in his recruiting pitch - “Do you want to sell sugar water for the rest of your life, or do you want to come with me and change the world?"
