disclaimer: perhaps business plans don't/won't matter so much anymore. just people. trusting people as they emerge healthy societies. currently, however, most people aren't mentally free to do that. perhaps a clever plan could help jar this mind game/cycle. free us up to sustain ourselves. get us back to us.

along those lines an add-on disclaimer: this is an ongoing/perpetually-in-beta vision that is always dis\covering itself. its manifold-osity of amazing/breathtaking/tacit-ish/grokkingly-engrained alive\ness challenges articulation. you can’t confine it to words.

the premise:

Different measure – how are the people around you doing.Community as credential/curriculum/ecosystem.Soul/world peace. Nationality: human.

Jump start a revival with an initial bet on synchronicity.[sync: enough people, spaces/resources, and tech]Emerge/model ongoing reallocation/upcycling of resources.

Based on grit (passion + persistence) as sustainability.Stemming from 2 conversations to help people see better.In-the-city\as-the-day as mental/physical spaces of permission.

premise\1

the realization:

beautiful/alive/craved solutions/answers/questions/definitions.. perhaps cannot be aka – this premise is begging to be chaordic:

perhaps the soul sings/dances/plays to a rhythm we’re missing ..because of all the efficiency. might we move/zoom enough so that everything

linear.

why grita people experiment

people 100% free. in the city. as the day. grit as sustainability.

Something not yet tried.

Two conversations.two conversations replace 500+ district policies. every day. synchronicity as revival.

Enlivened city self-sustains.a city changed as enough for others to believe.city as ecosystem.

experiment\7

Perhaps what has not yet been experimented with:

1/ a city-wide experiment, to provide an ecosystem of

eclectic people/resources;

in the city

2/ an as-the-day experiment, rather than adding something to

the day (after hours/school/work).

*well. 100% minus 33 min. so 97.7% your day.as the dayexperiment\9

one with yourself.one with others.so what if we use 2 convos to literally redefine school (the day, the funding, the mindset, ..)

literally redefine

within ongoing protoyping over the last five years..

Most districts average 500 policies they must comply with to garner public ed funding. The most well-known/referenced policies being: seat time & test scores.

What if we prototype a city/district getting funding via just 2 policies. Ones that address two fundamental human needs – attachment & authenticity:

experiment\11

community buy-in to have these daily conversations: if everyone is having these 2 convos every day, 30+3 min, the rest of day is theirs. plus - they get suggested connections everyday from the 3 min data. plus they get free access to and input for resources throughout the city.

government/powers-that-be buy-in for ongoing funding: if having these 2 daily convos works, (enlivens the city: less crime/poverty/health issues/etc), the city/district gets funded per census, rather than seat time & test scores, et al.

so .2% of your 24 hr day – aka 3 min, you commit to:

2 cnversationsc (dot) app story

3 min into curiosity app

everyone in city x 3 min datais used to connect people

experiment\13

and 2.1% of your 24 hr day – aka 30 min, you commit to:

meeting up with a group of 5-10 people, everyday, somewhere in the city.with no agenda other than everyone being known by someone. so conversation can be silent.

and the rest (97.7%) of your 24 hr day – aka 1,407 min, you commit to whatever you want.

tribe: find your peopleabout curiosity app experiment\15

3 min self-talk into curiosity app

everyone in city x 3 min data used to help people find their people

plus - you get suggested connections everyday from your self-talk into curiosity app.

plus - you get free access to and input for resources throughout the city.

so…

not ridiculous

We are looking for like minded dreamers interested in financially jumpstarting ..

Just to see if there is a better way to live our days, rather simply hoping for it or theorizing about it. Getting the sync right to play out in a community where red tape is essentially nill.

This is the next phase/prototype of a finding/vision we have been dabbling with the last five years. Perhaps an experiment/mindset in an ecosystem not yet tried.

business planstory board economy\25

If/when we model enough of a betterness – a city changed, perhaps it would merit reallocation of current school funding. Future finances would then come per census, rather than seat time and/or test scores, as government, et al, see the benefit of an entire city as community builders.

Ongoing spending would be determined by ongoing crowd-sourcing of these gatherings per choice.

[If there does emerge betterness, yet powers that be don’t deem it worthy of funding reallocation, perhaps the people themselves would bypass the government buy-in phase, hastening a more democratic system/structure.]

literally redefine

20 million would/could represent/demonstrate:

• what a city might look like financially if govt funding was per census and crowdsourced per the community/city/district

• how rich a city might feel, with or without the literal money, when we start practicing a time/talent/share/trust economy

• the transformation that might take place in just a short year, in a city with a new/emerging mindset:

spaces of permission with nothing to prove

7 mill – ish: for people,

people that need income can be supported to play with us, especially tapping into sabbaticals for teachers in the district, and waivers/scholarships into unis/business for students – so they won’t worry about the potential of being punished later for playing, or for taking a year (on) off – to come back & play our/their dream/vision, also parents/community members, wanting to play

5 mill – ish: for tech,

while none of the ideas are new, combining them might be, being able to pay experts [to write code, for an app to hasten the time between finding what matters & finding your people…] and purchase resources [wifi, devices,..] will accelerate the ability to make this equitable on a global scale.

You’ve got to make the systems so that they help people pay attention to the world in front of them. - Clive Thompson

ie: systems that encourage/facilitate/perpetuate personal fabrication

All in such a way to encourage you to spend less time proving yourself and more time doing/being

aware/awesome.

whimsy

Rather than taking tests or creating portfolios.. the app creates a trail, perhaps similar looking/functioning to the brain. For you, that means you don’t spend countless hours proving/defending/documenting/faking yourself, giving you more time to do/be awesome. For a ceo/college admissions a simple word search in your brain gives a more human/honest portrayal of ie: your curiosities/connections in regard to that topic.

To look more like the solution, a first space we are looking to secure is in the heart of the city. As a hub, or a home base, our kitchen table, so to speak. Where we will come together locally and virtually, to notice the unlikely, dream boldly, make connections, and start doing things that matter, to us. We are especially interested in a neutral space of high quality, that represents the value we place on this ongoing community conversation. This space may resemble more of a maker space, as conversations that matter often happen while we’re co-creating.

The space resembling perhaps, Deb Roy’s house, so that it’s accessible to everyone (local/global), whether they are there physically or not.

A collaboratory, as defined by William Wulf in 1989, is a “*center without walls, in which the nation’s researchers can perform their research without regard to physical location, interacting with colleagues, accessing instrumentation, sharing data and computational resources, [and] accessing information in digital libraries” (Wulf, 1989).*Community owned spaces.

Deb Royeconomy\51

for visions of

economy\53

Reallocation of funds, because w/healthier people, city spends less on health care, judicial system, vandalism, homeless. That money can be used to equitize resources, ie: food, shelter, living spaces, .. free higher ed..

we could start with ..

Money in particular, spent on: testing, competing, prepping, training, standardizing purchases, policy-izing, regulating the policy-izing, medication, restoration, prison, homelessness, …

Freeing up current ed funding flows, for people to literally upcycle.. enlivening the cities/world in which they live.

buy in: if this works.. we’ve got enlivened cities, with # of population = # of community builders, spending less on health, crime, et al.

economy\55

Reviving/remixing becoming indispensably re\mark\et\able. Co-creating a mindset of a different economy/currency. Perhaps trust/share/relationship/connection, as a city listens to each other without an agenda, other than: what do we need, what do we have, what are we curious about, afraid of, .. and how can we facilitate that.

At all levels and in all areas we crowdsource/co-create/emerge community via such things as (already existing): urban-observatory/google-sketch-up/i-wish-this-was/seeclickfix/cityforward/streetlight/edgeryders/project-citizen/hoverapp/collaborative-consumption… maker/hacker spaces.. pie/coffee spaces.. sketch-able walls.. sidewalks..

Perhaps some of these think tank-ish space(s) would have literal birds-eye-view of the city, with i-wish-this-was-a.. google sketch stations, giving everyone easy access to share their dreams.

no agenda

• a lawn mower• time to babysit• huge food garden• 3 bikes not used on weekend• a guest room• dance skills

• someone to help me learn italian• a car on thursdays• a cook• someone who can fix my sink• $100 for an medical bill

Some more benefits/outcomes/perks/changes..

The city would be experimenting with any/every idea people have to make the city/world better. People have great ideas, if they could just get connected to and have time with their tribe/people. More sharing of ideas.. of everything.. less waste. Especially less waste of people. Cross generational expertise/interconnectedness wakes all people up. Nationality: human. Generation: B.

Like Pam Dorr talks.. using what's annoying/nuisances to solve problems.. disbands scarcity.. reveals abundance

a whole community talking about things that matter.. wisdom of the entire city would grow exponentially.. more eye contact.. less petty arguingfamily ties growfewer people divorce .. because people are more themselves.. not looking

for themselves in others
