Parmis le flots d'idees lancees un peu dans tous les sens ici, a San Francisco, un projet qui semble un peu farfelu au premier abord, mais au moins un pas dans la bonne direction.
Personnellement (et parole de faineant) 2 heures de boulot seulement par jour, j'ai du mal a concevoir..
Surtout en imaginant bosser par exemple sur un design de foret nourriciere par exemple; je suis en train de faire mon premier, et j'ai du mal a m'arreter pour faire autre chose.
Mais bon, la reflection offerte par ce petit groupe, meme si un peu maladroite, vaut peut etre la peine d'etre debattu, donc je soumets leur projet a la votre (de reflection).

We are farmer scientists - working to develop a world class research center for decentralization technologies using open source permaculture and technology to work together for providing basic needs and self replicating the entire operation at the cost of scrap metal. We seek societal transformation through interconnected self-sufficient villages and homes. This is a stepping stone to transcending survival and evolving to freedom.
The Global Village Construction Set (GVCS) is an advanced industrial economy in a box that can be deployed inexpensively anywhere in the world.
This social experiment aims to demonstrate, first, that a community of 5 skilled people with the proper tools may attain a comfortable lifestyle (100% food, fuel, energy, housing, and technology needs) with 2 hours of work per day with local resources.
Second, OSE aims to demonstrate that a ~200 person resilient community can be created with a capacity to produce all of its own technology, up to the 1990s level of microchip fabrication – also with similar 2 hour per day work schedules.
The components of the GVCS are essential to life and work in the system - rather than decorative knick-knacks - and are "designed for disassembly" so each component, like the LifeTrac tractor for example, is easy to repair with bolts and simple tools such as wrenches, and is easy to modify and improve.
This project aims to collate all learnings of humanity to date regarding quality, modern lifestyles, minus any compromises associated with the status quo.
The GVCS is designed to be applicable in any location where soil, sunshine, and water are found.
The completion of the GVCS introduces the possibility of closing the industrial divide between the ‘developed’ and ‘developing’ worlds.
The GVCS is a radical departure whereby individuals are empowered to take responsibility for the world around them – as creators instead of consumers.
OSE focuses on turning ‘dirt and sticks’ into advanced civilization via application of modern technology to abundant, local resources. If this is achieved, by tapping humanity's unlimited creative potential – we just may begin evolving to freedom.
