This is unfortunately something most people won’t do.

Not my words, but I find them a good reminder.

I do think there is the possibility, though, to realize the 9B “solvers”. Knowledge is our one resource that we don’t consume effectively. It is also the only resource that does not deplete.

Knowledge gets buried, mis-used, forgotten, lost, misunderstood, and mistaken. When we have a knowledge experience where the average person can have a flow-state experience connecting with the world’s body of knowledge, contribute to connecting and clarifying it, and use it in their own lives, then we will be somewhere.

When knowledge refinement and application is so compelling an experience that it pulls people away from other online video games, then the homo-sapiens-sapiens-sapiens will be realized and we will have not only self-knowledge, but collective self-knowledge.

1. «abundance equals ever increasing consumption» (neoliberal falacy)
2. «population will trend to increase until it shocks with resources scarcity» (malthusian falacy)
3. «because of the world is finite, resources will finish in the short term» (catastrophist falacy)
4. «growth means more productivity and in consequence more stress for the resources» (ecologist falacy)
5. «a p2p production mode will confront the same enviromental problems as capitalism does» (centralist falacy)
