uniformisation. centralization. standardization.
mass. top down hierarchy. functional organization.
reductionistic. mechanical. rational.

in a scared & slowly transforming world
which is being disrupted
which is being disrupted
with a lot of incentives to create alternatives
Humanity is at a critical juncture. What is needed is as straightforward as it is profound. Our global civilization needs a
new operating system, and fast. (…) The very same ways of thinking that brought about the industrial age and made possible many of our advancements, have also fueled the myriad crises
that are now converging upon us. !

LOOKING THROUGH NEW EYES p2p as a new structural matrix
@cvanholder - www.newbraveworld.nu
centralized, top down organization > a distributed network of humans
!functional categories
> ambiguous roles, through the spaces between
a radar in a bigger system > entrepreneurial spirit
consumption, passivity > agency, creativity
!determine content & truth
> curation, mentoring, guiding to navigate !
massification, similarity > diversity, equality

a network of micro entrepreneurs with a touch of humanness
a new world in touch with forgotten values

LOOKING THROUGH NEW EYES navigating an unknown world
If we are suffering from the crash of our old institutions, we are also pioneering a new civilization. That means living with high uncertainty. It means expecting disequilbria and upset. And it means no one has the full and final truth about where we are going - or even where we
should go. !

the architecture of stories as our 21st century algorithm
using a balanced brain
the importance of being ANTIFRAGILE
@cvanholder - www.newbraveworld.nu
you may forget everything I just said, IF YOU JUST REMEMBER THESE 5 THINGS:
!(*) networks are replacing industrial models
(*) different set of values and structural characteristics (*) be inspired by working models of disruption
(*) we are pioneering a new civilization, it’s a hero’s journey (*) in times high uncertainty, try and aim to be antifragile
@cvanholder - www.newbraveworld.nu
We are optimistic because we know it can be done. We know a whole world
of pressing problems can be improved by peer networks, digital or analog, local or global. (…) That is a future worth looking forward to. Now
is the time to invent it. Steven Johnson (Future Perfect - 2013)
