Structure Drives Politics, Economics and most Everything Else

by

I’m often asked, at short notice, to be interviewed for Press TV on a range of topics and events. In those interviews, I try to provide global context — something seldom offered by media outlets incentivised to focus on the minutiae of the drama rather than on what drives those with power and wealth to … Read more

Feeling Good about the Future

by

A colleague from the WiseValue group, Tim, has been part of our weekly conversations exploring what a post-money coordination system would need to do — not just what it would need to displace. What follows is his own working-through of that ground, in his own voice: starting from foundational principles of voluntary participation and non-compulsory … Read more

From Proxy Money to Real-Value Governance

by

AI, Matching and the Propagation of Knowledge Tim, an active participant in our weekly WiseValue discussions, produced this article which offers his unique perspective on the transition from money as the basis of organisation to direct value handling: Recent discussions about AI, Direct Autonomous Cooperative Social Organizations (DACSOs), and post-money systems suggest that we may … Read more

The Bifurcation

by

Two ways of standing before the machine, and why they no longer meet Two pieces landed together this week, arriving from opposite ends of the map. One traced £5 billion of drone spending back to the familiar question of who owns the systems and who becomes dependent on them. The other traced the same data … Read more

Standing In Our Power

by

For those who feel the transition is still somewhere ahead, it may be closer than it appears Something is becoming visible that the dominant narrative has no language for. Not a protest, not a movement, not a political programme. Something quieter and more durable: a parallel way of organising life that has been growing, largely … Read more

The Man Who Fixes Things

by

A Short Story The farm smell was the first thing — not bad, just animal and green and older than anywhere Isla had lived, which was quite a few places. Mum had said it would be different. Mum always said that. They’d arrived after dark, which meant Isla had seen nothing properly — just shapes, … Read more

The Proof Was Always There

by

Six degrees of separation. The idea that any two people on Earth are connected through no more than six intermediate acquaintances has been around since the 1920s. LinkedIn built a business on it — and Microsoft paid $26 billion to own it. But here is what that number actually means: the network already exists. It … Read more

Relation Precedes State
