Invitation For Walima

Europe - a model?

Dear Michael,
Thanks for your last post. Your reasoning was motivating for me and necessary because it represents for me the motivation for the next steps. They have the path of the turning point of time again made it very clear. A new phase of self-organization, caused by all the expected changes and limitations, has become to me again only through your conscious thoughts in their implications for environmental and social order of the day.
So "brave in the new times." As a first step, then I see a focus again to the need for relevant spatial and temporal system boundaries, establishing lines of demarcation that is in our consciousness. This could enable the basic circuit structure of the human Subsistence (daily needs) to make clear again, assessed and fed back locally. I believe that the need for local control of our immediate and future concerns primarily the knowledge of these physical limits needed. Global considerations seem to make sense only if formed by a reorganization of local structures or the closure of local material cycles and low-loss coupling them a requirement for a new higher level. The climate conference in Copenhagen has encouraged me in this regard as it has shown that the strongly changing climate process hardly by turning a single screw help a theory with feet of clay can dominate.
We are likely to agree that we can only bring a huge evolutionary step of self-organization of the saving banks of a new era. How can we, however, prepare for such a move? I see the first active step in to clear out the outdated structures and combating modern existential angst at the local level. It seems that the gross national product and a work as is now seen as being political, social safety-related in the future is hardly possible. She appears only in a rigid and managed by the inherent inefficiency of waste resources company growth possible.
According to the findings of Leopold Kohr "The end of the Great", the efficiency of "growth companies" after reaching a short optimum by further growth to fall again. Nature regulates this growth through a feedback to a related environmental depletion, increasing instability and death. The companies have until the massive conflagration of world war with an immense destruction of environmental resources as a result, governed by small-scale wars and a reduction of the populations. Environment and society were held in balance feedback and the process was often assumed by such fateful developments or more or less well-minded gods controlled. The transformation of war from a population-regulatory measure to a mainly resource-depleting activities were completed in the last century. The subsequent global economy with its neo-colonialism and the rampant global logistics in the world do have a relatively long and peaceful period but also associated with increasing openness of the natural cycles of the limits of ecological sustainability. Cancelled environmental resources in the form of increasing devastation and almost irreparable climate problems or cooling problems were the results. Simultaneously degraded in our pluralistic knowledge societies, but the ability to globally distributed to identify processes in their consistency to assess let alone to control with the help of science and politics. The ruins of Copenhagen seems to be the result of a policy to encourage schools, mental training and skills only if they agree powerful groups in society as Alimentationsgrundlage seem appropriate.
should Here is the self-organizing evolutionary step in place and replace "Homo sapiens" the "Eroberungsgen" by an "Überlebensgen. Admittedly a difficult task but in its approach consistently conceivable. In particular, this could be likely if you are thinking made a cover value of money by the increase in land value in terms of increasing the sustainability of its fertility and to achieve. An increase in regional land value is only possible by developing a local recycling perfected by maximizing evaporation.
Such enhancing sustainability management is significant natural way to understand a priority of land management. As we know it today in old Europe is almost less than 3% of the people who manage 80-90% of the country and after this economic planning approaches.
As you see, I try your ball and your commitment to self-organization does not only include but also a chain of reasoning why we build what would make very different. Is it not our desire for permanence, to future prospects, according to grip, to return home and peace that drive us to get back to situate home. The experience gained after two world wars and an economic miracle with the particularity the money to pump faster and faster through the society to promote envy, greed and egomania in increasing measure of growth to do justice to the demands of society. Are we ready not become our commitment to innovation and social security in the tin work and money but in alternative approaches to a new association on the basis of service to a human society to search?
Would not it be possible again to provide the people of a new renaissance in the regional center of our society and our environment rather than to be grouped into polarizing political parties? Thus to socialize so that is to achieve maximum consistency and quality of life through services another association for the mutual benefit while also forming more social cells as a new target another close cycles and thus result in increased efficiency in the dynamic system. Would not it conceivable that man, through his experience with his environment as far as developing his intelligence that he, the time limits usability his environment rather than continuously extended by any act contrary to the development direction and the sense of nature to limit the carrying capacity?
Would not it be possible to achieve a high degree of control the company through open legal framework without any claim to universality but itself organizationally by increasing feedback through self-limiting with a minimum of administrative effort, and as close as possible to the scene?
As an important example would be fed back to the heavy traffic on the road causing damage to the 4th power of axle loads, influence market prices such that a cross-regional market Subsistenzprodukten (daily necessary Of which the public) is hardly in its present form would be possible. Also, a decentralized production of energy and the strict application of market prices, without monopolies and subsidies for energy for the industry would change the allocation of processes and society sustainability-promoting (product recycling instead of recycling, extending the life cycles of products, coupling subsistence of the settlements).
Such questions should be freed from the influence of the lobbies and at the heart of social consciousness, a democratic body and shape the permanent cultural revolution could accompany this new Renaissance and try the social groups in this process to involve and integrate the local and regional levels. The only criterion for assessing the democratic process, the efficiency and environmental efficiency as a reliable measure of the direction of sustainable development.
The industry-based export economy as well as work-based monetary and banking industry have already passed their zenith far and occur at least since last year in the historical background. The more these efforts are already seriously ill and revitalize society plagued by increasing infarct characteristics, the more we fall behind with our own development. The often stated hypothesis that innovation in environmental as well as a "deficit spending" in today's knowledge society would be a lifeline for our European society is backward looking and likely to shape our future with high probability rather a horror without end to a high level of hopelessness of our youth to follow. If investment is to pay off in the future, a fundamental restoration of our company is necessary. They must be accompanied by completely new approaches in our land management and would include primarily the revitalization of our landscapes.
The crucial question, which I imagine is the decoupling of the self-organizational forces and the currently deteriorating value of money. is the conditio sine qua non, the money for social innovation and renewal in the traditional sense hardly available nor is it in the required amount schöpfbar in today's society. The only way out of the set currently still heavily undervalued land values and its real value at the new preclude taxation is to be calculated, rather than a further tax on labor. The certainty that a "business as usual" was barely feasible, and the indispensability of a welfare state without the ability to update only those with a perpetual growth to be operated eco-social market economy, can probably only a solution corridor namely, control and convert the current land value tax the resources of a single tax progressive. Two columns would serve as social security components. The corresponding land value tax allowance at the lower end of the land value taxation and a general life-rent with a tax-based health insurance in the amount to be determined democratically. This could be a complete deregulation of the labor market can be achieved. The omission of government pension funds and expensive insurance could relieve the Company. Such conditions could regulate new markets and a "tabula rasa" constitute a theoretical basis for new goals. A new Quality of life, new forms of socialization and new social institutions could for a more closed-circuit cellular organized society in the future with more grassroots elections without redundant elements represent parties at five to six different levels.
it is hoped or feared, that the fears accelerate in society today, this certainly undesirable restoration attempt of the continuation of our society is still polarized, partisan wishful thinking instead of preventing it. The science of the origin of novelty (emergence) in complex systems will begin new non-linear processes at phase boundaries to better understand arising from simple but dynamic rules. The increasingly better understanding of self-organization and the increasing inadequacy of the existing drivers seem to be an evolutionary self-organization of the new human society to be.
I look forward to your response again and wish you and your family later of the year nor health, success and satisfaction.

Your Willy
