Building Our Own Future - LiterallyTony Cartalucci, Contributor Jakubowski hopes to unleash massive amounts of human potential, through empowering people directly with the knowledge and tools necessary for they themselves to build the world they choose to live in, not merely pulling levers in a polling booth for corrupt politicians to decide for them under the guise of democracy. Image: Typical political solutions have lofty mission statements, vague goals, and what seem to be perpetually postponed payoffs. The Open Source Ecologys Global Village Construction Set has real hardware they have designed, built, tested, and now share with the world for free in what is part of a burgeoning open source hardware movement. Accelerating this paradigm shift requires simply putting down our political crusades and picking up pragmatic solutions instead. The key to improving our socioeconomic prospects lies not in electing representatives to carry out vague political agendas, but through physical production, moving dirt, cutting metal, and harnessing electrons. OSE has a website, a Wiki with information on a growing number of open source designs and potential concepts, as well as a 300 page .pdf book containing all the information on the prototypes already built and in use by OSE members. Get involved, even if in the smallest way, and collectively our small steps individually will make for giant strides together.
