    A description of Open-source theory. A structural framework, a rule set and most importantly a defined goal. Within this system of complete transparency, organisation becomes invisible and the project can grow... often in directions and with solutions no one person could possibly predict. I think XR is headed in the right direction. Good luck folks!

    Roger if you take rich man money just make sure it comes with no strings attached. That is how our politics has been corrupted. And “attached strings” can come in many forms including that the financial contributor should be consulted with before decisions are made. That consultation can be a ploy to steer ER off course or sow doubt or buy time or divide the movement into factions and eventually render it powerless.

    Mandates sounds like it isn't giving them full autonomy. Set the principles and tell the groups they're fledged.
    ( If one group does go off the rails let other groups intervene and help.)

    • @PeterBrodie

      Constructioneerful, without mandates no-one knows how their contribution supports the overall goal: to save our planet from environmental collapse. Full autonomy would lead to groups or individuals working in isolation; if they're operating in isolation it means there's no common direction; in turn, that dilutes the impact of the movement as a whole.
      Already, since separate the initiatives of XR and Greta Thunberg's school striking, they are coordinating their efforts around the common goal: to save our planet. Also since these initiatives, are the environmental events of the past twelve months which have demonstrated the unpredictability of scientists' predictions: the Greenland ice cap melt is now four times the rate of last year's predictions; the forest fires in the high arctic and in the Amazon have outstripped expectations. The twelve-year window for turning complete environmental collapse around may have shrunk dramatically - already, in less than twelve months. Mandates, coupled with the training and long-term accountability implied by them, offer the most secure route to everyone pulling in the same general direction to save Planet Earth.

    There is then a relationship between centralization and effectiveness is what i am hearing in this. You can be an ardent environmentalist, but if you are also orthodox about decentralization, there will be no effective positive change to avoid a catastrophic environmental disaster. The take away then is this: Decentralization must never become an orthodoxy. A tenant of decentralization (or anarchy) is that any power structure or hierarchy must justify itself or it must be dismantled. If avoiding a catastrophic environmental disaster requires some hierarchies or power structures, then certainly they are justified and they must be, not only permitted, but encouraged, supported, and nurtured with the greatest level of efficiency possible.

      It is possible to build effectiveness into the structure of an organization, thus avoiding centralization. Then you don't need to "justify" anything.

    You're obviously one of the people at the center. Get some people hired into regional groups. Set up websites or reddit pages where the best ideas can bubble up to the top. Find the people that regularly have good ideas - then make those people head the 'nodes' (certified thought leaders) and have the nodes hold votes to make sure the greatest number of people are on board.

    It’s about creating a debate. Let’s step back from enjoying and understanding the metaphysical concepts of a group deciding on the tyranny of their decisions within Extinction Rebellion. Let’s just try and understand that getting the job done in the long run is all about educating and helping people have less children in the future ie less births because the underlying problem causing all the environmental issues is our growth in numbers as a species. This is to say that I don’t disagree with what is being said here in part two, it’s just what’s the point if you’re not stating the obvious of what really needs to be done. Or is it because a debate on reducing the world’s population even for Extinction Rebellion is too taboo?

We replace government and political puppets with the citizens. Every decision, every law, every thing is literally decided by a show of hands. Like if 10 people where on an island, they would'nt elect 1 person to choose for them, they would vote each time for every decision. Since the age of Quantum computers this has been an option but the elites want control so they have installed a corrupt and polluted system that will be the inevitable collapse of humanity.

      @slemtones 4 роки тому +1

      Who decides which issues will be put to the vote? What flavour of blockchain should be used to collect the votes? This video is exactly about the decision-making powers and processes required to set the agenda, rules and processes. The ‘how’ comes after the ‘why’ and ‘what’. Who decides the ‘why’ and ‘what’? That’s what he is speaking about here. After that’s been decided, by whoever, blockchain should certainly be considered as a transparent, auditable technology for collecting the votes. If it can be scaled to meet the demand. But it will also require rules and processes about how to ensure people can only vote once (if that’s what’s decided), ensure free and fair access by all to the voting mechanisms etc. And who decides those rules and processes? And who will watch the watchers? No easy answers, hence this video :-)
