our personal level of autonomy equates to our capacity to invest and enrich qualitative values, that we share commonly.
The 'capacity' to be one’s own person - define reasons and motives.
Autonomy of people is key, to ensure a society that is progressive and independent. Central to this motivation - is a transition to autonomous states and economies. While doing so, we move away from the previous paradigms of an hyper-competitive market and an exploitation based economy. This section features several models of autonomy, emerging ideas to challenge centralize markets and rule as well as conflicts which we may learn to navigate through. We are integrating this page with new resources for you as an individual and for communities.

Transition of the individual and the extended community!
Why are we here? Mutual aid and interaction equates to community, leading to greater autonomy and diversity within the ecosystem you belong to. Think inter-generational and poly-cultural. We are interdependent as a species - at a planetary level as well as extended family. Divest from systems deliberately constructed for human beings to compete. Invest in relationships, generosity, exchange, mutual aid and care. SEED is one such gateway for you!






Keywords - Numeric, Physical and Human
Values attached to wealth are numeric and can be exponential (+ or -). Physical value of things like property, infrastructure, vehicles, machines, personal belongings etc does not remain constant over time. Human (qualitative) values include friendship, love, well-being, diversity, spirituality, duty, beauty and justice. These three value systems do not sync with each other. Thus, a conflict occurs when we try to quantify (measure) wealth with happiness, income with well-being or material assets with quality (and security) of life. Systems in nature are not numeric or exponential. As a rule, material assets devalue over time. Because nothing in nature is limitless, the numeric and physical value systems which we live by, are clearly at odds with human values and the finite planet. Hence our personal level of autonomy equates to our capacity to invest, foster and enrich qualitative values, that we share commonly.
