Slide 1
The title of our presentation is How to Build a Post-Scarcity Village Using Existing Technology. My name is Marcin, originally from Poland, now based in the USA, Kansas City area. My background is a Ph.D. in physics in fusion energy, and I want a refund for my schooling, because I have since discovered that my schooling did not prepare me in any way for what was to come ahead.
We’ve got an interesting socio-technological experiment going on – on building the world’s first, replicable, post-scarcity, resilient community – or real people living on land, using their local resources. The key is open source collaboration to develop the place, and to reduce cost and skill barriers to make such a place replicable.
The title for this talk was originally Transformative Economics via Open Source Product Development – but that was rather abstract, and we have a very practical experiment on the ground. We are really building a post-scarcity village by means of open source development, so I’d like to focus on this as a clear, underlying theme. What we mean by this post scarcity village will become clear as the presentation progresses, and if it isn’t, we will have 45 minutes after this 45 minute talk for further discussion. Please note your questions and save them for the end, as the complexity of the subject makes that desirable, and the whole picture may emerge more clearly as the talk progresses.
