Probably my favorite part was your breakdown of the five approaches to value with which we can evaluate our work.
I think you knew intuitively that it was SO good, you accidentally included it twice, word for word. Haha.
(Only calling out since you asked for editing style feedback.)
PS As someone trying to build an org (what I’m calling an anarcho-indie publishing collective slash digital sangha), I’d love to see your thoughts on Right Livelihood from the zoomed out perspective as well!
Hahaha! Thanks Geoff :) You caught my attempt to reinforce something that, in my experience, folks often miss (i.e. they have a specific sense on how you assess the 'ethical-ness' of something, but often fail to recognise there are many perspectives about goodness and rightness. I try to draw from many different ideas / approaches in an attempt to reach something like a reflective equilibrium). What you're building sounds super cool. Very metamodern. Very needed.
Thanks Nate! Yeah we’re figuring it out as we go and it’s starting to feel like it may have hit an inflection point with a stronger sense of communitas, more vulnerability/compassion and more interest in committed creative participation.
It’s been really fun!
Although the project started as an attempt to eek out a right livelihood liberated from participation in systems that promote degradation, destruction, domination, extraction, and of course war and environmental crisis—more than anything, these people are some of my closest friends and confidants.
Anyway cheers! Thanks for the provocation. I’ll return the compliment right back at you! We all benefit when more people think more deeply, clearly and coherently about the moral implications of their lifestyles, habits and actions.
Stoked to hear this has been 'working' for you mate. Brilliant. We need far more examples of such courage (recognising how, for sooooo many reasons, this is not much harder for some than others), conviction and commitment to the process.
