I'm currently working myself to death and exhausted, it's a privilege to worry about climate change.

It’s not just the capitalist system, it is largely the political and social systems which have largely fallen into servitude of capitalism, which, in effect has allowed capitalism to run wild. Look at the failure of the supply chain during Covid. That system was designed to maximize profit; it was not designed to be resilient to disruption. Most Western cultural systems are similarly designed and implemented. As these systems come under stress due to climate change (think of the 2024 hurricanes in the SE United States), they will be largely unresponsive and cascade into one another (expenditures funded by local municipalities, homeowner’s insurance, mortgage companies). Our largely corrupt political system will not be able to respond because those who control it have never thought in those ways. And even if they did the capitalist forces will not yield to adaptation. By the time most people get a grip on what is happening, it will be too late. Hoping or believing it will be otherwise is foolish. Just the momentum of where we are today means we have already passed the tipping point, and it will become more obvious every year.

Fascinating. I'm a climber and considered trying to open a small training gym, years ago before the rise of widespread commercial gyms. I've often wondered whether there was still the potential for small community lead / employee owned climbing gyms. The insights on getting insured were great.

It is really interesting that with our educational system no one thinks that we use drinking water to flush our poo, I would like to ask you from where did you buy the p Blue pee separator and how much money the separator cost ?thank you

39:38 here the discussion about patented flax seeds, this is simple-minded but-I just grabbed pounds seeds from the market bulk bin. No sign on the bin saying do not grow.

Linen is the miracle fabric, it's just so great compared to cotton, and I grew flax in my yard just from seeds from the bin so it's easy, beautiful flowering plant that actually sustained a small community amidst the beautiful stems and flowers..

I'm glad for this intro because I'm great with crocheting and weaving and winding, but the whole idea of spinning seemed too much and too complicated. You broke it down into a small easily digestible beginner segment

The Climate Crisis is a spiritual crisis.

You’re making the same mistake as Marx and not realizing that 5% of the population are sociopaths and will always take advantage

What is needed is for each of us to realize we have agency, a sense of efficacy, that we can in fact affect change.

When will this happen?

I'm suspect of people who call themselves a left libertarian instead of an anarchist, but I like his ideas. Probably just U.S. Libertarians poisoning the well.

Massive human overpopulation after our ancestors jumped fro a Hunter-Gatherer clan living social structure that was egalitarian and into the sedentary grain farming nightmare of today is the basis of capitalism, predatory capitalism, and all of the other ills of modern hierarchical society. A wonderful, rarely mentioned in the MSM, book lays it all out: "Before Writing", by one of may alltime heroes, Denise Schmandt-Besserat.

Money comes from private credit loans and government fiat. Private credit expansion has natural limits, whereas government fiat is unlimited in countries that control their currencies and have floating exchange rates

We must have a central authority with the power to mobilize to act reactivity, and hopefully proactively, to avert existential threats. This power is otherwise reserved by the grassroots communal layers. This allows a finer granulation of self governance and variation of things like language, culture... For central government selection, this must be based on social merit and capability. Years of process and honing must shape these representatives. They must also earn the mean or less and share the same sustainable levels of equity with the rest of us. Like it or not, Chairman Xi Jinping was scrutinized and selected through a rigorous system to ensure that he is and will remain l, incorruptible and for the people. What is the measure of the real social merit or Donald Trump, Tony Blair, Etc...? We need to rewrite how this world works, and fast.

Socioecological interdependent nature is reality; our true and inescapable nature. Highest value to human beings must be human beings. Its greater supportive ecology must be the next highest value, in a value system. The only thing that works for us all is global human equity and a shared moderate sustainable level of prosperity. We should strive for the highest level of sustainable prosperity, but like work, the benefit must be equitable. We may be on track for a runaway scenario to be averted unless we all coordinate globally to mitigate climatological and ecological collapse. A paper just published in Nature quantifies why we see warming way faster than the models predicted and we may be in track for a catastrophic warming of some 14C by 2100. Frightening. Side note: All automation must be in public hands, else it benefits a Few at a cost to Many....

'Humanity today is like a waking dreamer, caught between the fantasies of sleep and the chaos of the real world. The mind seeks but cannot find the precise place and hour. we have created a Star Wars civilization, with Stone Age emotions, medieval institutions, and godlike technology. we thrash about. We are terribly confused by the mere fact of our existence, and a danger to ourselves and to the rest of life! ~ E. O. Wilson.

Technology may have advanced enough to release civilization from the confines of the second law of thermodynamics. These confines were imposed during Victorian England's scientific and religious cultural fascination with steam engines. The second law is behind modern refgeration needing electrical energy to compress the refrigerent to force it to release as waste the heat that it has removed from the refrigerator's service interior in the cooling part of the refrigerent's circulation. There is also discarded heat from mechanical friction and electrical resistance. The total released and discarded heat minus the removed heat equal the electrical input but the attached conversion of electricity into heat is forced. Refrigeration by the principle that energy is conserved should produce electricity instead of consuming it. It makes more sense that refrigerators should yield electricity because energy is widely known to change form with no ultimate path of energy gain or loss being found. Therefore any form of fully recyclable energy can be cycled endlessly in any quantity. In an extreme case senario, full heat recycling, all electric, very isolated underground, undersea, or space communities would be highly survivable with self sufficient EMP resistant LED light banks, automated vertical farms, thaw resistant frozen food storehouses, factories, dwellings, and self contained elevators and horizontal transports. In a flourishing civillization senario, small self sufficient electric or cooling devices of many kinds and styles like lamps, smartphones, hotplates, water heaters, cooler chests, fans, radios, TVs, cameras, security devices, robot test equipment, scales, transaction terminals, wall clocks, open or ciosed for business luminus signs, power hand tools, ditch diggers, pumps, and personal transports, would be available for immediate use incrementally anywhere as people see fit. Some equipment groups could be consolidated on local networks. If a high majority thinks our civilization should geoengineer gigatons or teratons of carbon dioxide out of our environment, instalations using devices that convert ambient heat into electricity can hypothetically be scaled up do it with a choice of comsequences including many beneficial ones. Energy sensible refrigerators that absorb heat and yield electricity would complement computers as computing consumes electricity and yields heat. Computing would be free. Chips could have energy recycling built in. A simple rectifier crystal can, iust short of a replicatable long term demonstration of a powerful prototype, almost certainly filter the random thermal motioren of electrons or discrete positiive charged voids called holes so the electric current flowing in one direction predominates. At low system voltage a filtrate of one polarity predominates only a little but there is always usable electrical power derived from the source, which is Johnson Nyquest thermal electrical noise. This net electrical filtrate can be aggregated in a group of separate diodes in consistent alignment parallel creating widely scalable electrical power. The maximum energy is converted from ambient heat to productive electricity when the electrical load is matched to the array impeadence. Matched impeadence output (watts) is k (Boltźman's constant), one point three eight x 10^ minus 23, times T (temperature Kelvin) times bandwidth (0 Hz to a natural limit ~2 THz @ 290 K) times rectification halving and nanowatt power level rectification efficiency, times the number of diodes in the array. For reference, there are a billion cells of 1000 square nanometer area each per square millimeter, 100 billion per square centimeter. Order is imposed on the random thermal motion of electrons by the structual orderlyness of a diode array made of diodes made within a slab: ______________________ - Out 🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻 ______________________ + Out All the P type semiconductor anodes abut a metal conductive plane deposited on the top face of the slab with nonrectifying joins; all the N type semiconductor cathodes abut the bottom face. As the polarity filtered electrical energy is exported, the amount of thermal energy in the group of diodes decreases. This group cooling will draw heat in from the surrounding ambient heat at a rate depending on the filtering rate and thermal resistance between the group and ambient gas, liquid, or solid warmer than absolute zero. There is a lot of ambient heat on our planet, more in equatorial dry desert summer days and less in polar desert winter nights. Focusing on explaining the electronic behavior of one composition of simple diode, a near flawless crystal of silicon is modified by implanting a small amount of phosphorus (N type)on one side from a ohmic contact end to a junction where the additive is suddenly and completely changed to boron (P type) with minimal disturbance of the crystal lattice. The crystal then continues to another ohmic contact. A region of high electrical resistance forms at the junction in this type of diode when the phosphorous near the ĵunction donates electrons that are free to move elsewhere while leaving phosphorus ions held in the crystal while the boron donates holes which are similalarly free to move. The two types of mobile charges mutually clear each other away near the junction leaving little electrical conductivity. An equlibrium width of this region is settled between the phosphorus, boron, electrons, and holes. Thermal noise is beyond steady state equlibrium. Thermal noise transients, where mobile electrons move from the phosphorus added side to the boron added side ride transient extra conductivity so the forward moving electrons are preferentally filtered into the external circuit. Mobile electrons are units of electric current. They lose their thermal energy of motion and gain electromotive force, another name for voltage, as they transition between the junction and the array electrical tap. Inside the diode, heat is absorbed: outside the diode, to exactly the same extent, an attached electrical circuit is energized. The voltage of a diode array is likely to be small so many similar arrays need to be put in series to build higher voltage. Understanding diodes is one way to become convinced that Johnson Nyquest thermal electrical noise can be rectified and aggregated. Self assembling development teams may find many ways to accomplish this wide mission. Taxonomically there should be many ways ways to convert heat directly into electricity. A practical device may use an array of Au needles in a SiO2 matrix abutting N type GaAs. These were made in the 1970s when registration technology was poor so it was easier to fabricate arrays and select one diode than just make one diode. There are other plausible breeches of the second law of thermodynamics. Hopefully a lot of people will join in expanding the breech. Please share the successes or setbacks of your efforts. These devices would probably become segmented commodities sold with minimal margin over supply cost. They would be manufactured by advanced automation that does not need financial incentive. Applicable best practices would be adopted. Business details would be open public knowledge. Associated people should move as negotiated and freely and honestly talk. Commerce would be a planetary scale unified conglomerate of diverse local cooperatives. There is no need of wealth extracting top commanders. We do not need often token philanthropy from the top if the wide majority of people can afford to be generous. Aloha Charles M Brown Kilauea Kauai Hawaii 96754

Holochain is the magic word

Banks are agents of the government. So the premise is wrong.

Bendell has grown on me. Found him rather wishy washy and a little too 'new-agey' to begin with. He's not exactly like Roger Hallam in his stridency. But he is very smart and knowledgeable, and his more measured and thoughtful manner is certainly preferable to the arrogant, know-it-all hyperbole of people such as Guy McPherson.

Why would the gods raise up this kind of human society only to watch it Crash. There might be more going on here than we easily know.

Thank you. Such a pity the course doesn't seem to be available anymore. I would have loved to do it. ETA: I take that back. The course is still very much available. One just has to scroll down (in case someone else is just as blind 😜)

Go bankless. Get on a bitcoin standard. Find bitcoin at the center of your small circular Economy

Would love to hear an update on how its going today.

Is there another person in the United states doing this regional currency, monetary diversity education?

We are krill for the Wall Street whales.

👏👏👏👏

We need to do it. ❤

Did not know that about trees and clouds. Very interesting!

Recent development on building the commons and communities amid collapse is "Design School for Earth Regeneration" with the development and spread of bioregional learing centres. I find these inspiring as they are entirely community / bioregional based - from the ground (land) up. Joe Brewer, the co-founder is an innovative, non-conventional thinker worth checking out.

Talk to your neighbors, yes. But mostly listen to them. The people living on your block are the only ones who will be able help as the system unravels. Good luck to us all.

Both good and bad in this interview. Jem raises the idea of "the commons". Back in 1968, Garrett Hardin published "The Tragedy Of The Commons". For decades afterwards economists, especially neoliberalist economists who were coming into the limelight (Thatcherism, Reaganomics, etc) disputed both the idea of a "tragedy", and of a "commons". Elinor Ostrom, who denied she was strictly speaking an economist, was finally awarded the so-called "Nobel Prize" in economics, (Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel) for her "Governing the Commons" in which she outlined some communitarian solutions to "The Tragedy". Back even in the '50s and '60s, Murray Bookchin had already been discussing Anarchist ideas. A later essay by him in 1991 entitled "Libertarian Municipalism: A Politics of Direct Democracy", precedes what Jem speaks and writes about here. Theoretically, communism could have been a route to follow, but we can read about the disastrous annexation by "the centre" of say "collective farms". Stalin, and even Lenin, both wanted a central Russia, not a collective of collectives. Anarchism became eventually for Bookchin, communalism, an even less dominated community. (Communalism, the Democratic Dimension of Anarchism. theanarchistlibrary.org/library/murray-bookchin-communalism-the-democratic-dimension-of-anarchism ) Fragmentation of a central State might be what is required for "democracy"? But, for some reason, we like to aggregate into States. Is bigger really better? (Jem mentioned "Small is Beautiful") Maybe we're assuming there's safety in numbers? I'm not clear why Jem chose to attack the most liberal (sensible) of British newspapers, the Grauniad. Even in his sphere "academic" journals are influenced to some extent. Jem might remember the "Sokal affair"? The Grauniad is certainly "better than" say the Daily Mail, or what used, in past years, to be the (sensible and reliable) Times.

Great interview! I especially like the Left/eco-Libertarian discussion, as I'm an ex-Green who went through the looking glass during the pandemonium, don't recognise my old Green buddies anymore, but am not always comfortable with the values of the Freedom-loving Right.

I'm an Economic History graduate student doing my dissertation this year somewhat relating to it. Making Democracy Work (Putman, 1993) is a good additional book that discusses the different civic history of Italian regions and how that played a big role in their present culture (shared values), in it he discusses ER alot. Ultimately it comes down to trust and coops historically have always been divided on sectarian lines (religion mostly) in most of Europe. Emilia-Romagna and North Italy had republics, while Southerners had an autocratic history so people kept to themselves, less prone to work together, and less trust in institutions. Sicily's coop push since the 1990s hasn't been successful due to the different culture. Many other reasons as well. As Matt mentioned, ER also was one of the first regions (apart from Lombardia) to industrialize due to large-scale farming (leading to innovation).

Our best hope might be that space aliens arrive, read the riot act to the business and political leaders and put up a huge sign saying: UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT

Sounds a bit like Community supported agriculture but for energy. Great idea

Even if you believe that man made C02 is a component of climate change, your measures would not move the needle. However there are plenty of good reasons to use renewables, where appropriate and reducing wastage wherever possible. It's not possible to use renewables as we have them, to maintain business as usual. Glad to see you are looking at all forms of energy demand, not just electric. The main issue is keeping control of any systems that are developed in the hands of the users. So the community credit voucher scheme along with local grids, sounds promising. We must avoid at all costs, falling into the thrall of the WEF, globalist version of "sustainability" or the conventional "free" market actors. Sovereignty of the people is the base to work from, if resource efficiency becomes the main driver, we will end up creating a technological tyranny in the name of saving the planet (which can survive quite well regardless of us). The problem we have, as those wanting to create a healthy, free way of life, is that the environmental movement has been co-opted by the establishment, the globalist ideologues and corporate interests, using climate change as the Trojan horse. So we are caught between business as usual and a wolf in sheep's clothing (the WEF, UN etc) and their shills like Extinction Rebellion. The idea presented here sounds full of potential, especially the Unlimited Company model. One thing I would say is that if your vouchers are in kWH and they are universally tradable, won't we still be subject to non local market forces taking control of our energy systems?

Capitalism doesn’t collapse. It is destroyed. But it does provide the means of its own destruction.

We dont have industrial capitalism. We have financial capitalism. People need to organise and we need to know our Marxist-Leninism.

Vive le chat!
