On this article, Just Make Me Do It, we submitted a comment as follows:

<<  This piece seems to tie well to our piece of time and energy, buyers and sellers of, http://socialphysicsinstitute.blogspot.gr/2013/07/work-energy-time-buyers-and-sellers-of.html
Time is a physical parameter to just about anything in the universe that is non-static, which means everything.  Life is bound by time at a level different than the one individually perceived, but definitely not endless, or startless.  As long as people are preoccupied with prescribed activities they are easily controlled and dominated by those that set the rules of the activities.  Only if they were to occupy the rules can they alter their activities.  Collectively they may be able, if they organize well, to take control of the rule making process.  But they have to take the initial time off to do so.  Usually only those that can afford this luxury would experience this joy.  But they are also the same who are least likely to change the rules.

"“Freedom is participation in assemblies, the ability to discuss and then decide. It is a collective freedom that we conquer. We decide about our way of life. Nobody thinks for us. The collective governance thinks but does not decide for us. The supreme authority is the assembly."

Comments and dialog

For those of you who have something to say about what you read here please write.  We have no interest in preaching with our ears shut.  We are interested in discussion and a dynamic formation of new ideas that are a product of collective input not individual expression.  We wish we had answers and solutions for everything  but we don't.  We are learning ourselves, hence the reference to education, learning, sharing, solving, failing, and best of all learning from failure.

We have also accumulated a ton of practical information and resources that deal with the problems of daily routines of autonomous collective living.  We are trying to find a way to separate and classify information (documents, audio-visual, manuals, etc) but it is harder to do than we originally thought.  we welcome contribution to this are as well.

The only ideal we have in mind and a priority is to add towards solutions and not criticize others' proposals.   We are not bound by any other "idealism"!  No flag no symbol!
