The ideal is the intersection of:

  1. Open Source - culturally strong
  2. FabLabs - productively powerful
  3. Enterprise - real world change
  4. Supercooperator - community development, rather than colonialism
  5. Education - crating evolution in the future generations
  6. Community Economic Development/Community-Based Production - inclusive
  7. Hands-on building of your reality vs consumer culture - creator vs consumer
  8. Eco-friendly - stopping ecocide
  9. Education and technological literacy
  10. Access to Jobs
