Dillon your comments on the last post bring up an excellent question, "What is an emergent economy?" As we can see that an Economy separate from the Ecology is pure insanity. The word comes from the same derivative: Home, or Dwelling, or Place. So Eco-nomy and Eco-ology are essential in our design for directing emergent economies. The two fields have been in deep opposition for some time and each camp have amassed much armor. As I track an emergent economy I (idealistically) see a merger of both. One thought is that the immense complexity of our modern era, the ecological situation, and the rapid and dynamic change is creating multiple streams of power struggle and simultaneous to that power cooperation. I am interested in the power cooperation as this is a fine evolutionary trait, found in recent research. One area that we humans shine around cooperation is our endocrine system reveals large boosts of health and well-being, thus increasing immunity when we participate in altruism and cooperation. Much like an ecosystem cooperating, thrives in abundance, companion planting, and eco diversity. Perhaps we are seeing a similar thing occurring in an emergent economy.
Thoughts?
See yall tomorrow
