Reflecting on our own lived experience shows us that we each live in a personal and private world within which we live our own best lives as best we can under the circumstance then prevailing, that we each make for ourselves out of shared public world that we make together, through technology, out of the world of Nature into which we each and all are born, as:
- a mutual aid society for sharing an abundance of technology solutions to the everyday problems of everyday people, living our own best lives, as best we can, under the circumstances then prevailing, every day
- through networks of connections for enterprise and exchange
- using money as a legal instrument for effecting transactions between people separated by distances of time, place and social connection (“a technology that communities use to trade debts” – Michael Mainelli), that is also the social energy that society uses to direct our individual insights and initiatives towards some activities, and away from others
- to construct, and episodically deconstruct to reconstruct, a safe and dignified house for humanity
- within built environments of Urban, Rural, Curated and Left-Alone landscapes
- along the creative edge of a constantly changing and adaptively evolving Human Partnership with Nature
- choosing new beginnings from time to time, and over time, to fit the changing circumstances of the changing times
- through inquiry for insight and new learning that can inform innovation
- making new choices more popular, as better fit to the circumstances then prevailing, while letting previously popular choices fade into history, as a good fit under prior circumstances,
- driving the flourish and fade of the social contract between enterprise and popular choice that is the real engine of our human prospering, and true history of our human history.
