I want to reiterate my deeply held belief. One of the biggest mistakes we are making with this tech is anthropomorphizing it and treating it like it is actually "reasoning". It's not doing that. And it cannot be held accountable. It's a machine.

So, as I said, I’ve thinking about how we design markets and experiment with something different.
My hope is for new markets ruled by a different set of values which *minimize harm and maximize collective good.*
I believe this is what we want to exist after capitalism.

So I’ve been thinking a lot about markets lately, hoping to experiment with something within a closed system.
Something designed with care and intention, based on lessons learned in community for the last two decades, and rooted in *mutualism.*

The mutualistic sector is the space where labor organizations, mutual aid societies, and coops have operated for decades.
Its support has been hollowed out over the past several decades, and it's time to reinvest here.

I’ll also add that I don’t think hierarchical power structures are inherently oppressive.
However, I DO think that the primary responsibility of folks at the top *to be in service to those at lower levels.*
It’s not only about structures and systems. What the people actually do really matters.

Because the reality is that power = responsibility, and being a good steward of that power is often a lot of work that most folks don’t want.
But folks DO want a voice that is heard by leadership, the ability + safety to advocate for themselves, and confidence that someone’s addressing big issues.

FWIW, I’ve found that many groups favor fewer official decision makers when they are altruistic leaders.
What people seem to want more than prime decision making rights is the ability to stop or slow the process when they have major objections to the course of action.

Decision making can look a *lot* of ways. It really depends on the situation and the purpose or goals of the group.
And there will always be trade-offs between fairness, complexity, and speed.
Highly suggest folks check out the toolkit by @ntnsndr.in called CommunityRule: communityrule.info

In particular, I want to remind folks that it doesn’t mean you have to default to decisions by consensus (where everyone must agree).
But you do want to find ways to make space for everyone’s concerns and relevant interests, in earnest.

Practicing and getting good at group decision-making is non-negotiable.
Remember that decision making ≠ consensus by default.
And the journey is just as important as the end result. They inform each other.

5) The process is equally (if not more) important than the product.
Any long term outcomes where humanity prevails or perishes must account for the speed at which our world changes now.
There’s no going back. Pandora’s box is open.

We are at the beginning of a massive labor movement. IT IS A NEGOTIATION.
And it’s not just what the leaders of unions and corporations do, it’s also what each of us do every day — what we say, what we buy, what we pay attention to, what we show up for…
A new model for reciprocity is being born.
