33. Serendipity
Life is Art

34. Serendipity: The means by which a set of
known circumstances unforeseeably interacts
with a set of related but unknown circumstances
so as to create a positive learning experience.

35. Serendipity: The means by which a set of
known circumstances unforeseeably interacts
with a set of related but unknown circumstances
so as to create a positive learning experience.
Andiety: The means by which you see
something that should be surprising to you, yet
you ignore it because you view it as expected.

55. Economic Democracy
1) All enterprises are governed democratically
by their workers, one person, one vote.
2) Workers elect a worker council which
selects and monitors management.
3) Enterprises compete for customers in a
relatively free market.
4) Capital markets are replaced by "social
control of investment".

56. Social Control of Investment
The community decides where to loan the money:
Existing enterprises wanting to expand
production or upgrade their technology.
Individuals wanting to start up new
enterprises.
Repairs to civic infrastructure.

57. Banks & Credit Unions
Doctors, Nurses, Law Offices
Farmers
Restaurants, Cafes, Bars
Bookstores
Repairmen, Electricians,
Teachers, Scientists
Musicians, Actors, Craftsmen

58. Vender Relationship
Management
We are not seats, or eyeballs, or end users,
or consumers. We are human beings, and
our reach exceeds your grasp.
Deal with it.

62. WOOKIES

63. VRM
1. Provide personal tools for individuals to manage relationships with organizations.
2. Make individuals the collection centers for their own data, so that transaction
histories, health records, membership details, service contracts, and other forms of
personal data are no longer scattered throughout a forest of silos.
3. Give individuals the ability to control how their data is used by others, and for how
long. At the individual's discretion.
4. Give individuals the ability to assert their own terms of service, reducing or
eliminating the need for organization-written terms of service that nobody reads
and everybody has to "accept" anyway.
5. Give individuals a means for expressing demand in the open market without
disclosing any unnecessary personal information.
