Commune Manifesting: Utopian without the ism
Harmonodes, as a landscaping, architecture and village-planning approach to the utopian notion of a loving society, is utopian without the ism.
Had the USSR been based around a loving libertarian form of socialism centered around harmonodes it would thrive to this day.
Were the capitalist USA built around harmonodes we would not suffer all the maladies we do, nor would the rest of the world suffer the maladies we inflict upon them.
It should be so easy to survive and thrive. So easy. But it's exceedingly rare here in the US that someone's healthy and joyous enough to be "thriving" by reasonable sense of the word.
Ism and the schizm
An economic school of thought which ignores the very design of human habitat and leaves humans dispossessed of the means of production is not merely an idiocy but a psychosis.
The moneyworshipping fundamentalism of this day emphasizes what does not matter and abominably fails in terms of what does matter. This schizm is tragic and makes politics and public discourse completely dysfunctional.
Money does not matter. GNP, GDP, NASDAQ etc these do not matter. Caring for people is what matters. The health and joyousness of your population is what matters.
Soil fertility; seed stock; water catchment and filtration; resilient and efficient means of production; overflow housing; healing spaces like saunas, caves, yogo studios, accupuncture lounges, etc as part of regular health care facilities present in every village; river health, forest health etc; these are what matters.
People believe in "capitalism" due to the propaganda of robber barrons, not due to any sensibility in its concepts.
The notion that:
an economic paradigm of
greedy competition to make money
should be preferred over a paradigm of
loving cooperation to survive…is absurd.
The dysfunction and inability to engage in productive discourse on the topic of creating a more just and healthy loving society, the "baaaa" articulated by sheep on all matters, is seen here in regards to what sheep say about this moneyworshipping fundamentalism.
This inabilty to engage in productive discourse and envision a better way prevents us from making changes in design and construction:
The wall system, roof system, ground system, hvac system, entree system, power systems, etc are all terrible, each individually awful, and together grossly inadequate as current and completely non-viable into the future… but none of this is changeable, nothing can be done, conventions cannot be changed. Why are these conventions unchangeable?
Not only does every component-system of the conventional building need to be done differently, but the building's function within its broader context must change. The separation and zoning-out of places into residential, industrial and commercial areas, haphazardly planned and interconnected by transportation infrastructure, all centered around the worshipping of money, has created a terrible dystopian hell. A hell which cannot be changed in a way as to be lessened, only worsened.
Why must we live in hell? Why can we not have paradise instead?
Because of baaa of course, that's why, baaaa. What else would you expect a sheep to say?
The whole world must be remade Rev21 it says. Why wait?
It should be so easy to survive and thrive, it merely takes intelligence, love and decent habitat. But we lack these, so it's very hard.
Intelligence must be cultivated.
