On the technology base for Evolving to Freedom - Open Source Ecology

I was going to talk about the CEB press today, but I need to back up a little bit - to put our work more into context so that future episodes will make more sense.This discussion stems from a comment on a very important topic of appropriate technology comment #9 in the Distillations Part 1 blog post. The comment dealt with what was perceived as Factor e Farms overly high reliance on technology for solutions to sustainability issues.This gets into several points worth exploring. Bear with me here, please.

This is key to understanding the viability of this economic model. We need to make it so incredibly cheap for people to express their inherent creative instincts and collaborate with others that it becomes completely unnecessary to buy anything.
