We Are Blind to It

By Matt Perez

Today the problem is not the colonialism of distant lands. The BIG problem is the self-colonialism of our minds. It makes us blind to the Fiat system we live in.

Colonialism

There was the colonialism of distant lands. That was the big problem then.

Today, the BIG problem today is the colonialism we impose on our minds. For one, it makes us blind to the Fiat system we live in.

Fiat

  • We assume that the Fiat system is a forever thing and cannot be changed.
  • We walk around with its impact, but we do not ever think looking for the source of it.
  • This makes the Fiat system invisible to us.

We did not even have a name for it, so we called it Fiat (e.g., “do it!”).

Radical Foundation

Rather than a system where you have to remember rules and whatnots, we focused on an easy-to-remember Foundation, which happens to be closer to the root of what we think is important.

Co-Management

To start to move away from Fiat, consider co-management,

  • No bosses or employees
  • Decentralized co-management
  • The RADs! mobile app
  • Explicit relationships
  • Explicit alignment
  • Explicit profile

But co-management is not enough. We also need co-ownership.

Co-Ownership

Ownership is a human invention, a tool for living in large societies. There are some things where ownership makes perfect sense, That is my tooth brush, but we can share the tooth paste. The problem with Fiat ownership is that it is centralized.

Instead, consider co-ownership,

  • Co-ownership is decentralized.
  • Co-ownership is based on recognized contributions
  • everybody who contributes is a co-owner
  • There is a RADs! Mobile App that helps you recognize contributions.
  • the RADs! Mobile App converts recognized contributions to RAD</span>s
  • RADs make contributions tangible.
