Dante-Gabryell Monson PS : I personally spent several years travelling, meeting a lot of people at many, many conferences, and it does not prevent isolation
It depends a lot on how we can converge the people we meet, what their intentions and realities are about, how social contracts can develop out of it ?
There may be temporary autonomous zones with temporary social contracts, and one may see holliday encounters , or conferences, as part of such approach. Yet, the rest of the time, what enables a viable system ? There are ecovillages, and it may be a solution, yet some isolate themselves from the rest of society, while having their internal power dynamics. I would like to work together on post industrial approaches, where alienation , or the risk thereof, is taken into account.

    " Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy states that in any bureaucratic organization there will be two kinds of people":

    First, there will be those who are devoted to the goals of the organization. Examples are dedicated classroom teachers in an educational bureaucracy, many of the engineers and launch technicians and scientists at NASA, even some agricultural scientists and advisors in the former Soviet Union collective farming administration.

    Secondly, there will be those dedicated to the organization itself. Examples are many of the administrators in the education system, many professors of education, many teachers union officials, much of the NASA headquarters staff, etc.

    The Iron Law states that in every case the second group will gain and keep control of the organization. It will write the rules, and control promotions within the organization. "

  • Dante-Gabryell Monson Can we combine #Matriarchy with a #PostIndustrial and ( semi ? ) #NeoNomadic approach ?

    " Matriarchies are mother-centered societies, they are based on maternal values: care-taking, nurturing, motherliness, which holds for everybody: for mothers and those who are not mothers, for women and men alike.

    Matriarchal societies are consciously built upon these maternal values and motherly work, and this is why they are much more realistic than patriarchies. They are, on principle, need-oriented. Their precepts aim to meet everyone’s needs with the greatest benefit. So, in matriarchies, mothering – which originates as a biological fact – is transformed into a cultural model. This model is much more appropriate to the human condition than the way patriarchies conceptualise motherhood and use it to make women, and especially mothers, into slaves. "

  • Dante-Gabryell Monson Can we use such understanding and principles to enable engagements and form intentional ( semi ? nomadic ) tribes ?

    " The tribe is nomads' social organization. Nomads do not exist without their tribe. The degree of heterogeneity of the tribe determines its aptitude to change.

    Tribes, as rhizomes, are consensual units united by what Deleuze calls a "plan of consistency". Their internal cohesiveness is sustained by, and relies on, collective ownership and participation.

    As micro-entities, tribes need to resist centralizing pressure from larger entities. Tribes do not want to impose their ways to other tribes, but are ready to fight to defend their own path. "
