Thanks for pointing out that oversight, Scot. I’ve added the link. I’ve also updated with a link to an Alternet piece that forcefully questions Wolf’s suggestion that there’s been an effort coordinated at the Federal level to take Occupy down.

Comment on Thinking about memory, association, and identification by Taran Rampersad

I’m a bit rusty on my Buddhist philosophy, but I do recall the ‘mind-in-present’ aspect. And that fits with the attention. Often when I forget things – and as the years woosh by I am noticing it a bit more often – it’s because my mind isn’t in the now.

It doesn’t help that my now is usually hours, days or years in the future. :-)

Great stuff! The way it was explained to me – intending to end suffering – suffering would end if we could get rid of desire and expectation – expectation is needed to have intention – ending desire and expectation is an ideal and not a practical state – just as perfect mindfulness is an ideal and not a practical state – soo I try to stay in the here and now and take a moderate course toward mindfulness and fewer expectations. As with everything it all sounds easy sitting behind a keyboard and I could be wrong a lot and none of it necessarily works :)

In any case thanks.

Ale, I think we will produce what you are talking about soon (got some sessions coming up to work on this). I’ll report back here and on the contactcon forums about where we are going with all of this. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi sam – If you could draw a map of all those transactions, outputs and conversions, it would make an excellent resource to help people figure out how they can contribute, or how it could be self sufficient. It could help to forecast the effects of shortages or other variations, and to let all the groups involved communicate amongst each other or even to enable them have a say in issues outside that circle or area. Cybersyn in 70s Chile did similar things with telex machines, and we can probably do the same with featurephones today. I guess we are at the point where community owned network infrastructure can enable something a lot cleverer and more participative than the economic and decision making system we have now.

The food group resolved to create ways to facilitate activities around local foods with alternative currency transactions. We looked at ideas like a “rideshare for local produce”, sorting food for farmers in exchange for having access to blemished produce, turning waste into soil and soil back into food, and using alternative currency around those transactions.
