If on entering the pinakion a black ball was released, the citizen was entrusted with representing the demos. Belonging to a demos was thus synonymous with attaining the rights – and duties – of full citizenship, but, more importantly, in accepting someone into the ...
Permablitzing is a way of turning lawn into micro-farm and suburban house into urban homestead. The term 'Permablitz' is, in fact, a portmanteau of the words 'Permaculture' and ‘Backyard Blitz.’. Permaculture is a design system for sustainable agriculture. Backyard Blitz was an extra-cheesy Australian reality TV show wherein a team of pro ...
Both focus on the authority of personalities to approve a decision instead of focusing on the idea or action itself. Stigmergy is neither competitive nor traditionally collaborative. With stigmergy, an initial idea is freely given, and the project is driven by the idea, not by a personality or group of personalities.

From Wikipedia: "Elinor Ostrom (August 7, 1933 - June 12, 2012) was an American political scientist. She was awarded the 2009 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, which she shared with Oliver E. Williamson, for "her analysis of economic governance, especially the commons". She is the first woman to win the prize in this category. Ostrom was p...

"Fran: Many people associate “the commons” with Garrett Hardin’s famous essay, “The Tragedy of the Commons.” He says that if, for example, you have a pasture that everyone in a village has access to, then each person will put as many cows on that land as he can to maximize his own benefit, and pretty soon the pasture will be overgrazed and become w...
"Given the complexity and changing nature of the problems involved in coping with climate change, there are no “optimal” solutions for making substantial reductions in the level of greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere.

Anticapitalist Critique of Ostrom's work on the commons
Summary by Sophie Ball: "Elinor Ostrom is perhaps the most celebrated pioneer of work around the commons in the mainstream, receiving the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences in 2009 ‘for her analysis of economic governance, especially the commons'.

Federici includes Ostrom’s award in a list of indicators that ‘a r...
Anticapitalist Defense of Ostrom's work on the commons
Summary by Sophie Ball: "For Federici and Caffentzis, and also De Angelis (see chapter 2 and below), Ostrom is a figure head for the ongoing capitalist exploitation of the commons. It is therefore interesting that an article appeared in the Morning Star celebrating the awarding of the Nobel prize to Ostrom. The author of the article was Derek Wall, economics lecturer, writer and member of the Green Party. I should also mention, with reference to the concerns I expressed in chapter one, that t...

One of the constant arguments for more hierarchy is because it is easier to “get things done.”. Valve makes an unbelievable amount of money - perhaps up to $800 million in 2011. That’s a pretty good indication that they’re very competent executing their form of getting things done.
Natalie Philips, a hot young cryptographic genius handling the NSA’s investigation, describes the Daemon’s capabilities (as it turns out a very low-ball estimate) early on in the story: - “Huge amounts of money flowed from Sobol’s bank accounts immediately after his death.
