Democratic Education




Christopher Macrae sent to the OSLIST this videos and interesting link:
an EEL comes to Brooklyn.

Then Brett Barndt ads: 
"Thorstein Veblen is good about this topic. His 1918 books is called The Higher Learning in America: A Memorandum on the Conduct of Universities by Business Men. It reflects the dependence of our universities on money in our system. Maybe a mutual credit money system would result in a different outcome. These new types of credit exchange systems are being explored now, mostly in Europe."

MARCIN JAKUBOWSKI: farmer and technologist: OPEN SOURCE ECHOLOGY

Videos taken from this link (http://www.noticiaspositivas.net/2012/02/10/marcin-jakubowski-modelos-de-codigo-abierto-para-la-civilizacion with the Spanish transcription of Marcin´s talk) sent by friend Keko

Marcin Jakubowski´s (http://opensourceecology.org) 4´ Ted Talk:




The global village construction set
Text on the YT video:
(2010 oct 23): A Hollywood movie producer 'Isaiah Saxon' who made the video "Wonderlust" for Björk... is an OSE (open source echology) 'True Fan' and has made a 2minute explainer video of the 'GVCS' - Global Village Construction Set. He put five days work into it out of pure passion for the project! It really gets our GVCS message across in a short and very concise way :) The purpose of the video is for entry into the "Buck Minster Fuller Challenge". But of course we will use it in all future presentations and marketing of this direction :)
Enjoy life!

Life is easy. Why do we make it so hard? Jon Jandai



From TED´s page: 
Jon is a farmer from northeastern Thailand. He founded the Pun Pun Center for Self-reliance, an organic farm outside Chiang Mai, with his wife Peggy Reents in 2003. Pun Pun doubles as a center for sustainable living and seed production, aiming to bring indigenous and rare seeds back into use. It regularly hosts training on simple techniques to live more sustainably. Outside of Pun Pun, Jon is a leader in bringing the natural building movement to Thailand, appearing as a spokesperson on dozens of publications and TV programs for the past 10 years.

WIDE SPACE OPEN IN THE BASQUE COUNTRY

I'm so happy with the news here that I feel I must share a bit of it with this community that brings so much joy and light to my life: the same day that Wosonos started in Olmué, 20-X-2011 we had great news for celebration in the other coin of the world:

Basque group ETA said armed campaign is over (BBC News).


Wide space opened in our souls. Same as some months ago, when we were so grateful opening space for peace in the Basque Country (a bit more on it here: http://flowandshow.blogspot.com/2011/03/opening-space-for-peace-in-basque.html) . One could breath in the air that peace was coming soon.

I'm sure many Chilean people with family roots in our coin of the world were profoundly touched by these long waited news, same as Pablo Villoch, same as many of you fellow coinspirators.

Let love flow,

BRIGHT LIGHT



I picked this video from @SunniBrown on Twitter. First thought was just wooow. Then, as ever, I realized there are always more faces on every reality. Reading the comments always is educating. It´s people who owns the knowledge. Each one has a part of the truth. That is,in fact, the spirit of Open Space.

Some comments from youtube viewers...

If any video deserves to go viral, this is it. Please share with everyone you know. TheBillysabu

solar power with a plastic bottle... they live day by day just enjoying life... thinking of other ways to live a natural life... todokiki

love this! love it! - to bad it is pepsi caps all over it     pzest
solar bottle skylight or the like, or look at the related videos for this. It works! They sell commercial products called Solar Tubes that do the same thing for a lot of money. ke6gwf
Of course part of it is also "clever" filming. If you got a camera you will know, that on film dark areas look even darker and filming any bright spots makes them shine even brighter,... YanaFramework

ideas tan sencillas y maravillosas hacen pensar que sí se puede tener una vida sostenible. Pero lo mejor es tener ventanas y aire en las casas  androgynonatus

Story of an Artist


Important subject and beautiful song by Daniel Johnston

Listen up and I'll tell a story
About an artist growing old
Some would try for fame and glory
Others aren't so bold

Everyone, and friends and family
Saying, "Hey! Get a job!"
“Why do you only do that only?
Why are you so odd?
We don't really like what you do.
We don't think anyone ever will.
It's a problem that you have,
And this problem's made you ill."

Listen up and I'll tell a story
About an artist growing old
Some would try for fame and glory
Others aren't so bold

The artist walks alone
Someone says behind his back,
"He's got his gall to call himself that!
He doesn't even know where he's at!"
The artist walks among the flowers
Appreciating the sun
He does this all his waking hours
But is it really so wrong?

They sit in front of their TV
Saying, "Hey! This is fun!"
And they laugh at the artist
Saying, "He doesn't know how to have fun."
The best things in life are truly free
Singing birds and laughing bees
"You've got me wrong", says he.
"The sun don't shine in your TV"

Listen up and I'll tell a story
About an artist growing old
Some would try for fame and glory
Others aren't so bold

Everyone, and friends and family
Saying, "Hey! Get a job!"
"Why do you only do that only?
Why are you so odd?
We don't really like what you do.
We don't think anyone ever will.
It's a problem that you have,
And this problem's made you ill."

Listen up and I'll tell a story
About an artist growing old.
Some would try for fame and glory
Others just like to watch the world.

LITTLE BOXES

Some weeks ago we returned to the ever interesting subject of education, home schooling in our radio interviews (in Basque, listen here to Madalen Goiria). Ibon Burgoa, our great technician was inspired once more to select this brilliant piece by Malvina Reynolds. Yesterday we gathered in Eutokia, a "social innovation" place in Bilbao again for an interesting conversation on education. That has taken me to copy+paste for this post.
Notes: words and music by Malvina Reynolds; copyright 1962 Schroder Music Company, renewed 1990. Malvina and her husband were on their way from where they lived in Berkeley, through San Francisco and down the peninsula to La Honda where she was to sing at a meeting of the Friends’ Committee on Legislation. As she drove through Daly City, she said “Bud, take the wheel. I feel a song coming on.”
Look  for more about the song´s story in Wikipedia

Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky tacky,1
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
And the people in the houses
All went to the university,
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the same,
And there's doctors and lawyers,
And business executives,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
And they all play on the golf course
And drink their martinis dry,
And they all have pretty children
And the children go to school,
And the children go to summer camp
And then to the university,
Where they are put in boxes
And they come out all the same.
And the boys go into business
And marry and raise a family
In boxes made of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.

Enjoy yourself!
