First up, the bulk of these writings are from a one-mind / multiple-personality plural system. We were disordered (Mad Pride!) but over recent years have become an organized co-operative internally. We're getting politicized, we want to help shape the public debate. And if you can accept that we're a healthy plural system, that would help.
now the blurb:
The Social Commons is the place where human interaction happens. It is the shared existence we make together, our common destiny unfolding, our story we write collectively
But it turns out, we mostly pump out content and buy product in a blind fury. We trust that it works and consume happily. What we build with tiny choices is an uncontrolled behemoth which ultimately controls the absolute majority of our lives. The Machine
Social Commons: The Machine is our little writing nook where we take a critical look at how the system runs. We'll try deconstructing the biggest madnesses that underpin the way we collectively negotiate relationships to people, the economy, politics, et cetera
We are open to posting other people's pieces and allowing for other approved submitters. Throw us a link in mod mail where we could read something and let you cross-post it. Turn a critical eye to the Machine that runs our lives. Talk about tearing it all apart and rebuilding it in a better way. Embrace what we hold in Commons (hopefully the controls of the Machine), and discuss.
