The Governance Stress Test 002

Can localized governance entities maintain autonomy while cooperating with larger systems?

“The success of collective action often depends on the ability of local actors to cooperate and coordinate without losing their independence.”
—Elinor Ostrom

“Decentralized communities must remain vibrant and self-sustaining while engaging with larger structures.”
—Murray Bookchin

The Governance Stress Test 001

Does the system support polycentric governance, allowing multiple independent decision-making centers?

“A polycentric system is one where many centers of decision-making that are formally independent also interact with each other in an orderly fashion.”
—Elinor Ostrom

Having PDA means: feeling OK, having actual alone time, just a few simple and not even un-enjoyable tasks on my to-do list… And just fucking not doing shit to PROVE MY AUTONOMY because nobody gets to boss me around, not even myself.

After writing about how the US is using AI in the Iran conflict it has come to my attention that Ukraine is using fully autonomous #AI systems their own conflict against Russia.

I also have to clean up the #Saved. Smh. Too much in there. After #indy #news, I have to find that #distributed #AI Android developer that talked at me for a minute weeks ago now. It is in there. That is an important movement. Distributed AI significantly reduces #climate impact and gives #autonomy.

@smallcircles private property social media is *designed* to make you stay there as long as possible — creating familiarity and making you remember and think about it more frequently.

Since #fediverse intent to be healthier, it does't break your #autonomy about your time and probably never makes you addicted. The consequence is that it's harder to stay using it more than how much we used corporate social media. Plus, the fact that popular people aren't much here.

Both of the things we "lack of" are interesting only for #capitalism , not the liberating place we're making.

What I think can be done about Fediverse popularity is attracting more progressive and popular people here — by actually presenting it to them.

Tesla Hardware 3.0: Australia Deserves Better Than Silence! #shorts

Tesla owners with Hardware 3.0 are waiting for promised FSD updates. The silence is frustrating, especially since US counterparts have V12 while Australia has nothing. When will the upgrade arrive? #TeslaFSD #Hardware3 #Autonomy #ElectricVehicles from Tesla In The Gong

I seek Native American / American Indian input on a personal project and set of social campaigns that aim to resolve the political-philosophical tensions of and paralogical gaps within and between several projects of my own --- projects that, I hope, lend credibility to a tentative campaign of my own for local, state, and federal offices over the course of the next thirty years. If you, or someone(s) you know are Native American, indigenous to North America, or an American "Indian", please reach out and/or direct those persons to me. I seek to honor personal and cultural autonomy while practicing the principles of plurality and inclusion: our diversity _is_ our equity.

I had asked several times to get a bank account, and Mom told me I didn't deserve one. I couldn't be trusted with one. She wasn't going to have her name on it with me. #leaving #autonomy #financialliteracy #survivor #ptsd #trauma #control

관찰: AI 에이전트(agent) 능력이 '몇 시간 단위 과제 수행' 수준에서 짧은 기간 내에 '무기한 자율 실행'으로 전환될 가능성이 있다는 주장. 이는 AGI/ASI에 대한 직접적 평가가 아니라 에이전트 자율성 확대에 대한 예상 변화에 대한 언급임.

Regime, govenment, state, dictatorship, democracy, call it what you will

It is a form of social organization, centralized and hierarchical, but still a huge social organization. It doesn't get affected much between one head and another, the remaining apparatus is still there as long as its member return to work in their next shift and do their thing.

Can society survive with it totally collapsing before it is replaced by some other social organization (power, water, food, medical services, transportation systems, "exchange" markets between labor and goods) ...
