“There is life beyond the World Wide Web. Life is real and has all kinds of ambient media to carry the proof of reality. The Web isn’t real in any way, shape or form: it is merely a purveyer of brainless AI driven propaganda and censorship. I will return to this subject soon.”

There are plenty of Green Energy Films and television series, and as with all anthropological commentary, there is lots of information.
Fully Charged is a compendium of a lot of what is happening now. My own interests are actually in cryptographic blockchain distributed computing, which has a lot to do with the “Internet of Things.” My particular interest is in trustless contracts which will enable Exchange and trade without centralised administration.

“Just like me, this person is seeking some happiness for his/her life. Just like me, this person has known sadness, loneliness and despair. Just like me, this person is seeking to fulfill his her needs. And just like me, this person is learning about life.” – a compassion meditation
Reality Falsifed.
Reality is à slice of infnity,
Make sure you try a piece.
Plenty to go around
Add seasoning to taste
Incompleteness
Uncertainty
Falsifiability
Theoretically Abstract constructs
Incompleteness and uncertainty Are in the nature of infinity
Falsifiability is in the nature of reality
Subjects of defined limits create reality
One can create or falsify ones own reality
Reality; as objective, subjective or abstract,
Is all an abstract construct relative to subjective limits placed on the infinite continuum.
There are many realities, but Only one infinity
Infinity encompasses all realities
Realities are faceted With infinite perspectives
Prescribed reality is not necessarily evident

Queue here. Sysyphus, que of cues, cue que, coup de que.
Sisyphus pushed his boulder,
The path smooth both ways
The same incline repeated
Parmenides like determination.
—
Prometheus chained over the hill
Willing that Sisyphus may succeed
panta rhei, alike to his own flame.
Both legends for deaf ears.
—
Heraclitus his ebb and flow
Crying metaphors to deaf masses
Sobbing similes to Blind tyranny
Calvary the summit to that bluff.
—
Maimonides saw each contradiction
Each species of deafness, Loud
Each species of blindness, Dark
All no less perplexed than the next.
—
Yet another Sisyphus rolls
Yet another Prometheus reveals
Yet another Heraclitus cry’s
Yet another Maimonides interprets
—-
Ancient and modern queuing
Missed cues and repeated lines
A dialogue of the divine comedy
Stockaded in linguistic prison walls.
—-
Plus ca change plus ca meme chose.
An old unpublished draft of notes, by way of a theme and a que, cue, as it were.
On The End of Ownership documentary if you read the comments on this documentary Web Site.
https://topdocumentaryfilms.com/end-ownership/
8 years ago the general hearing the documentary got was much more poisitve Post The "Great Re-ste" not so much.
The Great Reset: “You’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy.” (World Economic Forum)
The ideas in the VPRO documentary are very compelling the double edged sword is though ever present .
Now Proudhon advocated a society without government, and used the word anarchy to describe it. Proudhon repudiated, as is known, all schemes of communism, according to which mankind would be driven into communistic monasteries or barracks, as also all the schemes of state or state-aided socialism which were advocated by Louis Blanc and the collectivists. When he proclaimed in his first memoir on property that ‘Property is theft’, he meant only property in its present, Roman-law, sense of ‘right of use and abuse’; in property-rights, on the other hand, understood in the limited sense of possession, he saw the best protection against the encroachments of the state. At the same time he did not want violently to dispossess the present owners of land, dwelling-houses, mines, factories and so on. He preferred to attain the same end by rendering capital incapable of earning interest; and this he proposed to obtain by means of a national bank, based on the mutual confidence of all those who are engaged in production, who would agree to exchange among themselves their produces at cost-value, by means of labour cheques representing the hours of labour required to produce every given commodity. Under such a system, which Proudhon described as ‘Mutuellisme’, all the exchanges of services would be strictly equivalent. Besides, such a bank would be enabled to lend money without interest, levying only something like I per cent, or even less, for covering the cost of administration. Everyone being thus enabled to borrow the money that would be required to buy a house, nobody would agree to pay any more a yearly rent for the use of it. A general ‘social liquidation’ would thus be rendered easy, without violent expropriation. The same applied to mines, railways, factories and so on.
In a society of this type the state would be useless. The chief relations between citizens would be based on free agreement and regulated by mere account keeping. The contests might be settled by arbitration. A penetrating criticism of the state and all possible forms of government, and a deep insight into all economic problems, were well-known characteristics of Proudhon’s work.
Property Rights in the sense of possesion.
in the imperishable primal language of the human heart house means my house, your house, a man’s own house. The house is the winning throw of the dice which man has wrested from the uncanniness of universe; it is his defense against the chaos that threatens to invade him. Therefore his deeper wish is that it be his own house, that he not have to share with anyone other than his own family. (Martin Buber, A Believing Humanism: Gleanings, New York: Simon and Shuster, 1969, p. 93.)
This pattern is not intended as an argument in favor of “private property,” or the process of buying and selling land. Indeed, it is very clear that all those processes which encourage speculation in land, for the sake of profit, are unhealthy and destructive, because they invite people to treat houses as commodities, to build things for “resale,” and not in such a way as to fit their own needs. And just as speculation and the profit motive
The double-edged sword is on the one side Control and Governance and abuse of Authority. On the other side is well being and access to lifes necessities without censure or coercion. This is quite the dichotomy!

That's Great Nicki,
A link to a PDf of the Book and its sequel.
VPRO is the Dutch Public broadcaster some fantastic documentaries on there
including these two.
The End of Ownership - VPRO documentary - 2015
This one is a hot potato in that the WEF meme you will own nothing and be happy .
The idea of this documentary is that in a circular recycling based economy there is less waste and manufacturing as a model would not rely on high levels of obsolescence etc. These are key issues in designing out failure demand. Its a huge subject but this Documentary had a huge influence on me when I watched it back then.
Shoshana Zuboff on surveillance capitalism | VPRO Documentary
This one is super important from a Data protection point of view in the Governance structures. The idea of Ownership of Personal spaces in the sense described in A Pattern Language is important in the digital age the ownership of Meta data remaining within the control and ownership of the Individual Homemaker is something we should stress and guard jealously for the Home@ix homemaker.
The Counterpoint to the data point is this Dragons Den episode
Monetising personal digital data sparks interest in the Den 🐉 Dragons’ Den - BBC
Sharing in monetised data sales, Whats not to like? It turns out if one considers Zuboffs critique of Surveillence Capitalism where the willing sale of ones own data could be a slippery slope. This feeds into the Programmable money CBDC debate and linkages to the internet of things . You will remember from your stint on the energy watchdog the abuse of Smart pay as you go meters by Electricity companies, imagine a similar abuse of budgeting where the only option to pay was through a "Smart Phone".
The Human right to Shelter is a fundmental of Life and well being, responsibilities to Homemakers securtiy of tenure and data are both very important.

I’ve had a good stab at a culture paper which I think can go into the business plan for now as currently drafted (subject to your comments) and can be amended by others at a later date.
I was determined to get it onto one page. There’s such a lot of BS written about corporate culture I wanted something that at least feels genuine.
I’ll work on the values and mission and then try a first draft of strategy tomorrow.
HOME@IX LTD
CORPORATE CULTURE, VALUES & MISSION
(Paper first drafted by Nicola Evans in 2024 for input and additions. Know the author so you can consider the source).
This paper was drafted to deliberately avoid the usual warm words that appear in company culture & values papers. We’ve all experienced the gulf between the stated culture & values of a company and what the people working for them actually experience (and think of them). We want to do things differently.
CULTURE
Staff (rightly) want to know:
How will working for this company add meaning to my life?
We want people to look forward to coming to work in the morning.
How do we build a culture that achieves that?
I personally still take a steer from Ricardo Semler’s 1993 book ‘Maverick’ which Roger and I bought and distributed to our team back in the 1990’s. You can also read some book notes about Semler’s outlook here which give you a flavour of the book - it boils down to autonomy and giving people the freedom & power to do what they think is the right thing and being open and transparent about the company’s internal workings.
Drawing on the research of Culture Partners I agree culture comes from the experiences (good & bad) people have in the company over time which lead to beliefs (good & bad) about the company which lead to people taking action (good & bad) which lead to results (good & bad) for the company.
To create a culture where people want to come to work in the morning we need people to:
have good experiences of the company (through recognition, storytelling & feedback) which lead to
good beliefs about what they’re being asked to do and why which mean they
take the right action to bring about
good results for everyone (team, customers & company)
To achieve this we as a company need to:
set out clearly what our goals are (the results) which should be meaningful, measurable and memorable
set goals personal to each team member so they can easily answer the following:
can I connect what I’m doing to something worthwhile?
do I have enough control to affect the outcome?
is this something I’m capable of being good at?
do I feel a sense of safety and community on the team?
build something sustainable that people feel is worthwhile & want to be a part of
VALUES & MISSION
Value and mission statements overlap but a value statement comes before a mission statement because the values inform the mission.
VALUES
We put ethics above profit.
MISSION (results)
Results need to be:
meaningful
measurable
memorable
To harness technology to free our people to focus on building thriving communities
