Hello, we hope you will enjoy -part 2- of this inspirational talk with MICHEL BAUWENS, he is the founder and director of the P2P Foundation and works in collaboration with a global group of researchers in the exploration of peer production, governance, and property. Michel is also research director of CommonsTransition.org a platform for policy development aimed toward a society of the Commons and a founding member of the Commons Strategies Group, with Silke Helfrich and David Bollier, organizers of major global conferences on the commons and economics.
In this conversation -part 2- we talked about how Michel keeps balance in his life, his challenges and how he overcame them, the pitfalls and upside of projecting, the need for tragedy to change, the commons, how to most effectively distribute our abundant global resources so that everyone’s needs are met, Buddhism, how to best implement Artificial Intelligence, forms of self-governance by citizens, algorithms, where we can find more info to inform ourselves, media-filters and censorship, the challenge of (de-)fragmented news channels and the promise of new media platforms, personal filters, P2P-dating creating hierarchy and the effect on block-chain communities, anti-oligarchic protocols, distribution overflow of ‘extra’ votes and wages, value for co creating, and profit-sharing by social media platforms.
