Description. Hanzi Freinacht: "“Protopia” is another recent term, coined by futurist Kevin Kelly and it is defined as the opposite of a “Dystopia”. In Dystopia, people are stuck in some kind of recurring pattern of suffering (like George Orwell’s “foot trampling a human face — for ever”, as in 1984). A Protopian society, then ...

Cosmo-localism "comes partly from discourse on cosmopolitanism which asserts that each of us has equal moral standing, even as nations treat people differently. The dominant economic system treats physical resources as if they were infinite and then locks up intellectual resources as if they were finite. But the reality is quite the contrary. We li...
Jose Ramos: "In very basic terms cosmo-localism describes the dynamic potentials of our emerging globally distributed knowledge and design commons in conjunction with the emerging (high and low tech) capacity for localized production of value. It already exists today in many quickly maturing forms such as with Maker Bot’s Thingverse and the Global ...
Jose Ramos: "The normative impetus for cosmo-localism is based on a number of as-yet unproven assumptions: 1. that cosmo-localism can help drive the development of localized circular economies / industrial ecologies that can reduce or eliminate waste; 2. that the localized production of critical products can make a city or region more resilient in ...

Jose Ramos: "Cosmo-localism draws from previous work on alternative globalization pathways, in particular popular discourses articulating relocalization, the global network society and cosmopolitan transnational solidarity (Ramos 2010), as well as the work of Bauwens and Kostakis (2014) in articulating commons-based peer productionand Kostakis et al (2015) in developing the Design Global, Manufacture Local model (DG-ML). Finally, there are projects emerging around the world that exemplify cos...
Drivers of change enabling cosmo-localism
In this next section I discuss the critical drivers of change enabling the potential for cosmo-localism: 1. Global knowledge and design commons 2. Consumer manufacturing technology 3. Maker movement 4. Urbanization and mega-city regions 5. Economic precarity 6. Resource impacts, scarcity, and circularization of economies Knowledge and design resources for a variety of critical support systems are now available in the distributed web under open licenses (creative commons / gnu / copy left), wh...
Weight of history and obstacles to cosmo-localism
"In addition to drivers potentiating cosmo-localism, there are equally powerful ‘weights of history’, legacy systems, cultural factors and other obstacles to cosmo-localism. These include: 1. Platform oligopolies 2. Economic incumbents 3. Intellectual property regimes 4. Consumer culture Platform oligopoly is the first challenge to cosmo-localism, the power of the big Silicon Valley enterprises to monopolize and potentially suppress the potentials for cosmo-localism. Big platforms, like Faceb...
Jose Ramos: "To conclude this exploratory essay, there are a number of images of the future that connect with cosmo-localism. To structure this I use Dator’s four archetypal images of the future, as a starting point, with an acknowledgment that deeper scenario work still needs to be done.

Description Boris Shoshitaishvili: "The complex set of human-driven global, social, technological, and environmental changes intensifying dramatically since 1950 has been identified as the “Great Acceleration.” This period of time represents a radical shift in our ...
The system claims to be effective at achieving popular consensus around contentious issues over a period of two or three weeks with anywhere from 100 to tens of thousands of participants or more. Polis has been used to generate consensus on climate issues in Austria (2022), in Uruguay on a national referendum (2020–2021), in New Zealand to ...
