Yeah me too I didn’t add – but there is space for the metaphor to continue – what sort of catalysts to social interaction can you think or that lower the barrier to action?….Hint: Its been around for thousands of years…

Iwish Illich embraced the idea that “we must abandon our attempt to solve our problems through shifting power balances or attempting to create more efficient bureaucratic machines,” but I think many people in Chile approve of Pinera because they want him to be the national stock fund manager. It’d be better if people only invested their own money, rather than money taxed from others.

It’d be great if “the expanding dignity of each man and each human relationship must necessarily challenge existing systems,” and “in the future we must end the use of coercive power and authority: the ability to demand action on the basis of one’s hierarchical position,” but most people seem happy expanding the coercive power of government.

People in Chile are more skeptical of coercion than most people in richer countries, but not as skeptical as me.

Great thoughts Holly, I am hoping this public accountability will help! I am a advocate of living every moment as you want life to be, so as soon as Stocktrack is able it will be funding these social ventures – hopefully before June-2011.
