The Concept. Bruce Alderman. "INTEGRAL POSTMETAPHYSICAL SPIRITUALITY (IPS) does not yet fully exist. It is what Bruno Latour (2013) might call an instauration – something that is at once being uncovered and created, discovered and composed. It is a risk, an artist's gamble as she puts chisel to stone, and its final form is not yet decided.

Conditions for Situated Production
Tom Igoe: "Situated production wouldn’t be possible without the following: Cheap tools.Laser cutters, lathes, and milling machines that are affordable by an individual or a group. This is increasingly coming true. The number of colleagues I know who have laser cutters and mills in their living rooms is increasing (and their asthma is worsening, no doubt). There are some notable holes in the open hardware world that exist partially because the tools aren’t there. Cheap injection molding doesn’...
The Shanzai Rules
Lyn Jeffery: 1) Design nothing from scratch; rather, build on the best of what others have already done. 2) Innovate the production process for speed and small-scale cost savings. 3) Share as much information as you can to make it easy for others to add value to your process. 4) Don’t make it until you’ve already got a buyer. 5) Act responsibly within the supply chain. Bunnie Huang on the Shanzhai Rules (response) 1) Buy low, sell high -- and time counts as money. No holds barred. 2) Confuciu...
Gongkai: the Chinese 'reciprocal' way of sharing IP

My most striking impression was that Chinese entrepreneurs had relatively unfettered access to cutting-edge technology, enabling start-ups to innovate while bootstrapping. Meanwhile, Western entrepreneurs often find themselves trapped in a spiderweb of IP frameworks, spending more money on lawyers than on tooling. Further investigation taugh...

They are outliers. Henrich explains: WEIRD people are highly individualistic, self-obsessed, control-oriented, nonconformist, and analytical. We focus on ourselves — our attributes, accomplishments, and aspirations — over our relationships and social roles. We aim to be “ourselves” across contexts and see inconsistencies in others as ...
This has a long history in ecological economics. Robert Costanza, who was my partner in founding Ecological Economics (the journal and the society), was very active in this area. The energy theory of value was his big idea: using input–output analysis to get the embodied energy content.
Land and forests were the first resources to be 'enclosed' and converted from commons to commodities. Later on, water resources were 'enclosed' through dams, groundwater mining and privatisation schemes. Now it is the turn of biodiversity and knowledge to be 'enclosed' through intellectual property rights (IPRs).
