Under the lens of permanent sustainability, there is far less room for systems that require excessive centralized maintenance to continue existing. Automation is essential. The motivation is community.
Compare this to the world as it is now functioning under the delusional falsehood of permanent growth. Most things will fail, and very quickly, without constant attention. It's profit motivated; individualistic and unpersonal.
This is why the world burns and also how we fix it.
@valkyrie Absolutely!
But we’re going to keep running into resource constraints as long as “your property” only exists as lines in some despot’s ledger.
If the feds can seize the bank accounts of any organization they find threatening, how does any organization gather strength to oppose the despot?
@dalias It’s *absolutely* about property.
Ask some native Americans how that whole “not property but sustainable systems” thing works out when the colonizers come knocking.
@dragora @dalias well, that’s sorta the point of a global ledger.
A consensus-based global ledger would mean that, even if an aggressor succeeds at occupying a territory which belongs to someone else, the aggressors don’t get the deed to any of the territory they seized.
They don’t get to start divvying up that land to their apparatchiks. Their “ownership” is globally identifiable, by anyone who respects The Ledger, as illegitimate.
