Book - Leaving Nobody Behind
From Open Source Ecology
- Concept of uplifting the whole, not only the best
- Raises playing field, so the best are naturally uplifted too. Nobody left behind, wiw-win
- Alternative is further increase of inequality
- Inequality is natural - that is part of diversity. But growth is also a natural part - so the question is who do we grow as a society?
- Arguments as such imply that:
- perennial polyculture swarm.breedng produces better results than genetic engineering, because it allows for improvement in harmony with ecosystem
- Open Source knowledhge produces better knowledge than proprietary development
- Democratized technology is better than engineer superheroes
- Distrbuted production gets better results than centralized manufacturing
- Pollution ends because we stop socializing negative consequences
- Biodiversity loss ceases because we start to care about the whole, not only 'elite species'
- Distributive eneterprise becomes the norm as we take care of everybody
- We favor appropriate, integrated technology, not point 'savior technologies'
