OK, you post on this stuff almost as frequently as a clock chimes, more often than the cockerel crows. We'll bite seeing as it's full moon and allegedly the best time for sowing seeds.
• Where are your audience, who are your #sheeple? Most will be blithely hopping in and out of the various walled gardens, so how are they to discover, or be persuaded to, the joys of the #OpenWeb; that it's the (non-cancerous) #growth (aka #PostGrowth / #Degrowth) they're truly looking for? How are they to be converted into disciples and evangelists?
° From the opposite POV, what sort of #silo are you going to build for your composting needs. The sort of open skip that other people will opportunistically fill up rapidly with all sorts of shit and trash? And will you be relying on the rakes, forks and shovels of a huge team of mods? How will they be onboarded? Or a pay-what-you-can-or-will model where people can post all their shit until moved on?
• And with respect to your pitch for the #OMN, just as inevitably, as the Esther Dysons of this word can never be unheard saying, "Does it even scale?"

Would merrily go off on further tangents on the Peertube/Youtube dilemmas, what is to be done with an anarcho-silo like Kolektiva, and so on, but hey there's other nettles to be scythed. Does it all go into the mix and get broken down into some lovely fluffy and friable rich humus in the end?

Rethinking Economics for a Sustainable Future
As the social-ecological crisis reveals the deep flaws of our current economic systems, we must explore bold alternatives. On April 2nd, I’ll be presenting at an INDEP online talk, where we introduce our latest scientific model—an integrated framework uniting economic, ecological, and social dimensions.

Keep money circulating in our communities — without creating new currencies

Ekhilur, a nonprofit citizen cooperative in the Basque region, is pioneering an approach to strengthening the local economy. Instead of creating a new currency, it operates its own payment system to maximize money circulation, strengthening small businesses.

When politicians tell us to focus on growth we need to ask: ‘Why, and for whom?’—Rowan Williams, patron of the CUSP 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘋𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘶𝘦, in #TheGuardian → https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/mar/08/growth-politics-public-good-society-rowan-williams

Nourish inclusive community wellbeing and nature, not destructive private wealth.

“When politicians tell us to focus on growth we need to ask: ‘Why, & for whom?’ Isolate growth from public good & you are simply planning for breakdown. A resilient society should be rooted in wellbeing, not wealth“

Hi #sciencemastadon, just migrated to social.edu.nl. A re-introduction: I'm a researcher working at Wageningen University and Research (#wur), studying the #ecology of #marinemammals (mostly #seals) in the Netherlands or #arctic, analysing #spatial distribution and #habitat selection based on #wildlife #tracking or #drone/ #uav/ #satellite data using #rstats

Also interested in human #behavioural ecology and alternative economic systems like #degrowth/ #postgrowth

Below movie of our research

Liberal green policies generate conservative backlash

In the Netherlands, the government’s ‘ecological transition’ plan follows a neoliberal agenda. Policies like ‘true pricing’ (e.g. carbon taxes) claim to tackle the climate crisis but shift the burden onto consumers, worsening inequality.

 Carbon taxes are regressive. Why should low-income households bear the cost of our economic systems?

A just transition must tackle economic insecurity & inequality alongside climate action. Social wellbeing and ecological objectives must go hand in hand.

What do you think? What narratives should we build so they resonate with the majority of people who are living in precarious conditions?

Discover why tackling inequality MUST be at the heart of the green transition https://www.commonsnetwork.org/2024/10/17/discussing-a-postgrowth-economy-with-jason-hickel/

#CfP LIMITS 2025

LIMITS solicits submissions that move us closer towards computing that supports diverse human and non-human lifeforms and thriving biospheres. We welcome scholarship by researchers, engineers, designers, and artists who are investigating and/or (re)designing computing systems in ways that engage with pressing ecological and social issues and crises. Papers due April 25.

In this two-part diary of her experience from 2024, Rana Zein, reflects on how the "Life After Growth" summer school prompted participants to explore alternative economic models, sociocracy, the commons, & place-based learning.

As a practitioner from the Global South, Rana reflects on how the summer school fostered ways of learning that are deeply connected to local realities, and sustainability to ground theory in practice.
