Podcasts about p2p foundation

Michel Bauwens is the founder of P2P Foundation. https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net

In this episode, we debate with two major thinkers with different philosophies but also commonalities about governance and social evolution. Max Borders, author of “The Decentralist,” "The Social Singularity," and “After Collapse,” (a previous guest on the show) and Michel Bauwens, founder of the P2P Foundation and author of “The Political Economy of Peer Production”.The definition of “commons” is already a challenge, but we typically refer to inherited and collectively created goods, like air, oceans, and wildlife and shared institutions such as libraries, public spaces or scientific research. In Michel Bauwens definition, what is peculiar about commons is that they are governed by a community - not by market-only or state-only mechanisms.Michel is critical of both the market and state-led suppressions of local governance solutions to commons problems, where Max Border has a more proprietarian approach. These differences evolve into a deep discussion.To Michel, proprietarian solutions aren't necessarily bad - they can be enabling solutions for commons governance, especially empowered by the internet and blockchain technologies. Max Borders replies that this is a feature, not a bug - proprietarian / libertarian solutions are meant to enable pluralism.Michel's vision is one of "cosmo-local" dynamics, depicting a globally connected yet locally optimized system. As an open value network, co-production became pivotal in reallocating value from old systems to new ones through peer-to-peer capacities.We discuss the role of cryptocurrency for community-focused economic networks, the paradox of "trustless" systems and the importance of peer-to-peer exchange. We also talk about the right "exit strategies", the concept of network states and the importance of building societies that benefit local communities. All of us want to encourage more governance experimentation. Experimentation allows us to try out different ideas, and technology empowers us to scale those solutions that work from the local to the global level.More about Michel's work:* P2P Foundation* LinkedInMore about Max's work:* Underthrow Newsletter* LinkedIn Get full access to Stranded Technologies at niklasanzinger.substack.com/subscribe

In this episode we continue Phase 2 of OTNS with Michel Bauwens, founder of the P2P Foundation. We discuss his concept of cosmo-localism which advocates for everything heavy to be local, and everything light to be global, how many medieval institutions were cosmo-local, and the implications of the rise of knowledge workers detached from physical territory. Check out a previous episode to learn more about our framework for out network stae alternative,  coordi-nations.JOIN THE BLOCKCHAINGOV DISCORD SERVER HERE IF YOU WANT TO TAKE PART IN THE CONTINUED OVERTHROW AND CONTRIBUTE TO THE RISE OF COORDI-NATIONS.Overthrowing the Network State (OTNS) is a series in collaboration with Blockchaingov where we critique The Network State  by Balaji Srinivasan while also pulling out the salvageable parts and concepts in discussion with a variety of guests.

Du har kanskje hørt om "allmenningens tragedie", som beskriver en situasjon der felles forvaltede ressurser blir overutnyttet fordi alle deltakerne vil prøve å maksimere sitt eget utbytte uten tanke for det felles beste. Men visste du at begrepet bygger på en misforståelse? I virkeligheten var allmenningene en av de mest vellykkede og bærekraftige forvaltningsformene vi kjenner til, og det er grunnen til at de i dag opplever en renessanse, også på helt nye områder som for eksempel urban mobilitet. I denne episoden snakker vi med Michel Bauwens fra P2P Foundation om hva de moderne allmenningene er og hvordan de kan videreutvikles, og vi snakker med Thomas de Groot fra organisasjonen Commons Network, om hvordan "commoning" foregår i praksis og hvordan allmenningene kan tilby alternativer til vår vekstfokuserte økonomi.

Michel Bauwens, Founder of the P2P Foundation and co-author of Peer-to-Peer: The Commons Manifesto, interviewed by futurist Trond Arne Undheim. In this conversation, we talked about how the world may have reached a tipping point where the balance between centralized and distributed activity as well as for profit and not for profit activity have overreached its boundaries. In Bauwens’ analysis, historically when this happens, with civilizations such as the Mayans, or the Chinese, a reversal of polarity happens, and society moves into healing mode. The difference this time, is that the system is global, and that we have nowhere else to go. Our challenge now is, whether we are capable of living within planetary boundaries. Bauwens, in this respect, subscribes to a functionalist pulse-wave theory of cyclical change.My takeaway is that the commons is indeed an interesting seemingly growing sentiment and a reaction to both big capitalism and libertarianism, a third way, if you will. I wrote about this phenomenon in my 2008 book Leadership From Below. Arguably, an increased focus on developing the commons, would help foster a more egalitarian, just and sustainable world. I found Bauwens critique of the crypto-anarchic divide between commoners and libertarians, the latter underlying blockchain quite interesting, as I had earlier perhaps put that effort more in the commons camp than it deserves, because at the surface, they are both about getting rid of the middleman. After listening to the episode, check out Michel's most recent book, the P2P Foundation, as well as his social media profile:Peer-to-Peer: The Commons Manifesto https://www.uwestminsterpress.co.uk/site/books/m/10.16997/book33/P2P Foundation https://p2pfoundation.net/Michel Bauwens (@mbauwens) https://www.linkedin.com/in/mbauwens/ The show is hosted by Podbean and can be found at Futurized.co.

This week I spoke to Michel Bauwens, the  founder  of the Foundation for Peer-to-Peer Alternatives and works in collaboration with a global group of researchers in the exploration of peer production, governance, and property and is known for his work on The Political Economy of Peer Production. Much of his work revolves around exploring peer production as an alternative to currently existing capitalism.For this interview we spoke mostly about his  recently published P2P ACCOUNTING FOR PLANETARY SURVIVAL report which focused on ways that DLT can be used to create alternative productive relations that promote planetary survival. I ask him about his frameworks for understanding technological designs and the different types of cooperatives which can help  create generative relations as opposed to extractive ones as well as why he thinks DLT and technologies like blockchain have particular properties that can help us fight against the destruction of the earth's natural environment.SourcesP2P Foundation WikiCommons TransitionIf you liked the podcast be sure to give it a review on your preferred podcast platform.

In this with Michel Bauwens, we explore both the Epistemological and Political/Regulatory layers of the transition from the “old” to the “new” ways of organising society. We dig into concepts like “trans-national institutions” and explore the changes we could expect in both regional and international governance of the economy and society.  Michel Bauwens is founder and director of the P2P Foundation, research director of CommonsTransition.org (a platform for policy development aimed toward a society of the Commons) and a founding member of the Commons Strategies Group.  Michel is a real lighthouse when it comes to collaborative, commons-based production models and works tirelessly since more than a decade in collaboration with a global group of researchers in the exploration of peer production, governance, and property.

What do we need to spiritually harness an empowering technology such as blockchain? Just as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, technology is as well. While it can be used to scam people or launder money, it can also be used to create a society that is more open and transparent. The internet has given people so much access to information that it has limited government’s power to control the people with propaganda. Blockchain technology is taking it to another level by further giving people the accountability and control of that information. We are at the cusp of that change and with an egalitarian society it can be a reality. Is the human race ready to embrace this technology with the right mindset? I believe when creating technology or business, if it weren’t for the betterment of humanity, society and the planet that we live in, there is no point. This desire to elevate ourselves to a higher level of social connectivity derives from our heart, and our spirit. Blockchain can help us achieve this greater purpose.But is blockchain just another fad? Weren’t there scams that entrenched the whole industry a few years ago?Bitcoin was created so as to send money peer to peer by circumventing the central bank’s authority to control money flow. The underlying technology called blockchain allows for value and information to be exchanged without an intermediary. It is now being explored from startups to multi-national companies, which is making a groundbreaking impact on how we store, exchange and trace data.Watch Karthik explain how we can take a step forward with spirituality.Karthik Iyer is the ambassador of the P2P-Foundation (https://p2pfoundation.net/) and runs Blockchain Monk (http://blockchainmonk.com/) a DLT / DAO think tank out of Singapore and San Francisco.

This episode is a crash course in the commons economy with Michel Bauwens of the P2P foundation. Michel introduces me to the concept of P2P and how it can be used to create commons. We discuss how the concept of the commons can be used as a model for governance in the circular economy and you’ll also hear why Michel is cautious of the so-called ‘sharing economy’ popularized by platforms such as Uber and Airbnb.ABOUT TODAY’S GUESTMichel Bauwens is the founder and director of the P2P Foundation and works in collaboration with a global group of researchers in the exploration of peer production, governance, and property. Michel is also research director of CommonsTransition.org, a platform for policy development aimed toward a society of the Commons. He has (co-)published various books and reports, is a founding member of the Commons Strategies Group, and recently crafted a Commons Transition Plan for the city of Ghent in Belgium in 2017.Highlights:What is P2P and the commons economyHow you can use P2P to create commons Examples of city commons labs and how to use protocols to create urban commonsWhy Michel is cautious of the so-called ‘sharing economy’ popularized by platforms such as Uber and AirbnbHow the commons economy could enable circular systemsThe three different levels of open contributive systems and four types of ownership Why commons licensing works best for immaterial goods

Welcome to Mutual Exchange Radio, a project of the Center for a Stateless Society. Today’s guest is Kevin Carson, a senior fellow of the Center for a Stateless Society who holds the Center's Karl Hess Chair in Social Theory. He has written books such as Studies in Mutualist Political Economy, Organization Theory: A Libertarian Perspective, and The Homebrew Industrial Revolution: A Low-Overhead Manifesto, all of which are freely available on C4SS’ website. Carson has also written for such print publications as The Freeman: Ideas on Liberty and a variety of internet-based journals and blogs, including Just Things, The Art of the Possible, the P2P Foundation, and his own Mutualist Blog. Today, we discussed a study he published last year for the Center on New Libertarian Municipalism. Libertarian Municipalism is an idea that has its roots in one of the most famous social anarchist thinkers of the twentieth century, Murray Bookchin. However, Kevin is more interested in modern movements focusing on a more decentralized model of a market economy based on common ownership of certain resources, drawing from thinkers such as Elinor Ostrom. Its focus is on an openly democratically run city on a local level, transforming local governments into partners in the transition to a post-capitalist economy. In this discussion, we cover the history of the idea of libertarian municipalism, what the movement on the ground has looked like in recent years, the policy implications of it for local cities, economic indicators that society is progressing in that direction, and common objections to the idea. It was a fun conversation that allows leftist thinking to move on from focus on, from the center, electoral political outcomes on the national level and, from more radical circles, violent insurrections that are impractical in the near future.

Michel Bauwen’s P2P Foundation helps humanity share the best ideas at global scale, giving us a leg up through some tight years ahead

Last week, close to my home, was the Transition Design Symposium. It brought together people from around the world interested in what design can bring to the need for an urgent societal Transition, and for 2 days its attendees basked in glorious sunshine and fascinating interactions. I managed to catch up with Michel Bauwens who was attending and speaking at the conference, and we took some time for a short chat sitting under a tree in sunshine. Michel spends half his time in Belgium and half in Thailand, and is the founder of the P2P Foundation, a global organisation of researchers working in collaboration to explore peer production, governance and property. He is a writer, researcher and speaker on the subjects of technology, culture and business innovation. “It’s about Open Source communities”, he told me. “A lot of it is like what you are doing with Transition, perhaps a bit of a difference would be that I try to look more at the trans-local, trans-national levels, and how we can build counter-power to trans-national capital”.

Playing for Team Human today is Stacco Troncoso of the P2P Foundation. Stacco brings with him deep knowledge and enthusiasm for the power of the commons. Stacco and the Commons Transition team put their faith in people, believing in the potential of diverse, empowered communities to address complex problems. Far from a utopian fantasy, P2P offers a wealth of resources including models from groups who have already successfully transitioned to a commons approach in governance, finance, and culture. Stacco and crew have just launched a new Commons Transition Primer, loaded with case studies and beautifully designed research on ways to make the commons transition a reality in your community.Today’s show features music interludes composed, recorded, and performed by our guest, Stacco Troncoso. Overlaid are excerpts from a talk Stacco gave at Prix Ars in 2016. The page header illustration is from the Commons Transition Primer website, by Mercè Moreno Tarrés. Our opening song is Foreman's Dog by Fugazi.Opening today’s episode, Rushkoff looks at the Trump-Russia collusion narrative. In his “by any means necessary” moment, why does Trump even bother to deny collusion with Russians? And is media’s obsession with the Russia story distracting us from Trump's dangerous policies and appointments?If you enjoyed this episode, dig deeper:How can I take part in the Commons TransitionCommons in the Time Of Monsters: How P2P politics can change the world, one city at a time.​​Short: Q&A-style illustrated articles presenting some of the P2P Foundation’s main positions​​Long: In-depth, longer articles​​Library: Downloadable PDF versions of P2P Foundation research publications​​More: Video, audio and other content, plus site information and other linkshttp://www.guerrillatranslation.org/This and all Team Human shows are made possible by listeners like you.

Every 500 years or so, European civilization and now world civilization, has been rocked by fundamental shifts in its value regime, in which the rules of the game for acquiring wealth and livelihoods have dramatically changed. Following Benkler's seminal Wealth of Networks, which first identifies peer production, the P2P Foundation has collated a vast amount of empirical evidence of newly emerging value practices, which exist in a uneasy relationship with the dominant political economy, and of which some authors claim, like Jeremy Rifkin and Paul Mason, that it augurs a fundamental shift. What would be the conditions for this new regime to become autonomous and even dominant, and what are the signs of it happening? As context, we will be using the Tribes, Institutions, Markets, Networks framework of David Ronfeldt, the Relational Grammar of Alan Page Fiske, and the evolution of modes of exchange as described by Kojin Karatini in The Structure of World History. We will argue that there is consistent evidence that the structural crises of the dominant political economy is leading to responses that are prefigurative of a new value regime, of which the seed forms can be clearly discerned.
