OSE Operations
Introduction
There are several core areas of operations necessary for OSE success:
- Technical dvelopment - arriving at industrial productivity on a small scale allows for economic self-determination of peoples, and aims at the eradication of artificial scarcity. This process is transparent and inclusive.
- Community development - changing culture is core to transforming the economy towards collaborative design. We build people, not technology. We develop human capacity for open collaboration - which is largely a question of psychological integration on the part of the person. Ego and the illusion of separation are to be denied in order to earn self-determination. Community includes one's immediate community. Good home economics lead to sane global relations. Transformation starts with mastering one's own self by becoming a whole person. If society arrives at sufficient self-mastery, we will have stopped feeding mass psychosis.
- Enterprise development - abundance comes from effective execution. Ideas are not enough. The discipline of entrepreneurship stands between ideas and effective production. Transformative enterprise starts with one's local community.
