Do you know Ivan Illich? I think this man came up with theories that, when combined with ancap or voluntarism, could work very well (and not going in direction of communism)

"The vernacular domain. Illich contrasts the commodified, professionalized world with the "vernacular"β€”modes of living, producing, and relating that exist outside market exchange and institutional management. Vernacular competence is learned informally, practiced in common, and adapted to local conditions. It represents the autonomous substrate of human capability that institutions systematically erode."

I'm thinking about how it could work, I call it "anarcho-convivialism"

Bitcoin, Nostr and other useful open-source software can be defined as "convivial" technology

I love Illich, I'm going to give a talk about digital conviviality in January. I only learned about you this morning, but would you come on nostr:nprofile1qqsdluwc0qu62t3el7nxl93387gmppe56jkvm88vcuwh3lpw4fcevwsc4as3x?

yes this is the guy who makes the client I use #coracle, you should go on his podcast 😁

Oh, thank you very much for the offer, it's an honor! :) But I must politely decline, public speaking in podcasts and at conferences is not for me, but maybe that will change in future when I finish my anarcho-convivial study!

btw, Illich was a genius. His ideas answered many of my philosophical questions. I am not surprised that he is not so well known, that we do not learn about him in schools - because he predicted very well where today's "democracies" are headed and that its irreparable.

I agree, he really cuts through a lot of the left/right tribalism too

Not familiar, but I'll check it out.. .thanks!
