Three months ago, I thought post-growth economics was about giving things up. Now I see it's about holding on — to what truly matters.

🌱 From utopia-writing to blueprint-building: I’ve published a piece on how I changed my hopes about progress, tech, and civilization’s future.

Here is the piece:

Instead of posting about a new commons today, I'll just link to a @pluralistic post about a political framework built around Ostrom's insights on governance of #Commons.

Also relates to Mercier and Sperber's "The Enigma of Reason". I'm a broken record since I read that book: we are flawed as individual rational being, we are great at collective rational decision making.

I discovered @streetcomplete some time ago and began answering quests, as a small and regular contribution to #OSM datas. It's fun, and this is a way to re-discover my daily neighbourhood in #montreal
Some questions for streetcomplete users :
- how to edit a quest when I accidentally validate a wrong data ?
- is there a way to add informations (objects) for public #art pieces, which are located in public space ? (such as sculptures, statues, murals...)

Thanks for your help 🙏

A little over a year ago I wrote a #Wikipedia article about the "Goose and the Common", an 18th century poem about the privatization of #commons land during the enclosures in England:

My partner just started reading "Sunrise on the Reaping", the second prequel to the #HungerGames trilogy, which quotes the poem. Page views jumped up 3X when the book was published in March, and are still greatly elevated. So I guess the internet is not fully dead yet :)

To people living within those systems, it's like water to a fish. Some concrete examples are the "Fluss" on the lake ägeri in Zug, or the Bis in Valais.

The Swiss' traditional forest promenade isn't just about keeping healthy, it's also to make sure there is no one breaking the Commons rules.

Now the commons are much less important in everyday life, but they still exist to a certain extent.

In Switzerland, 80% of alpine lands is managed as a Common. The land is shared between several users and rules of usages are set by the users themselves.

This dates from WAAYYYY back, the town of Törbel in high Valais manages high pastures this way since 1224. Pastures, irrigation but also forestry is managed this way all over Switzerland. 🧵 1/2

🎮 Valve is a rare post-growth unicorn: no venture capital, no quarterly pressure — just sustainable growth and a thriving creative commons.
But what happens when GabeN leaves the scene? Can it stay true to its values?

🧠 Do you know other privately held near-monopolies that resist the corporate drift?

I think it should be socially acceptable for artists to cold-call anyone they see using AI-art and ask them:

Hey bud! Would you like to commission a $50-$500 drawing of higher quality, made by a human artist you can credit by name as our mutual proof of you being a bond fide Supporter of The Arts?

This is the sort of digital receipt that you should want to wear as a badge on your most punk-looking jacket with pride: I PAID FOR ART.
