🏴

/blackflag104

🏴 is a symbol for freedom-seeking changemakers. https://blackflagcollective.org/ or https://discord.gg/blackflagdao to get involved.

The original article is worth a read.

"Yet it is the peculiar genius of our society that its rulers have figured out a way ... to ensure that rage is directed precisely against those who actually do get to do meaningful work. For instance: in our society, there seems a general rule that, the more obviously one's work benefits other people, the less one is likely to be paid for it. Again, an objective measure is hard to find, but one easy way to get a sense is to ask: what would happen were this entire class of people to simply disappear? Say what you like about nurses, garbage collectors, or mechanics, it's obvious that were they to vanish in a puff of smoke, the results would be immediate and catastrophic."

Hello Black Flag, and thank you @links

I am here to humbly request your thoughts, critiques, and questions on a new project I’m launching in 2025 that @links and I agree has synergy with /blackflag

That project is /beings-club: a curiosity social club

This webpage might be a good place to start:

This is what the 🏴 is for. It’s a symbol of discontent. Hoist it if you want to make things better. Hoist it if you are taking even the smallest action towards being the change you want to see in the world.

What we have right now is not it. The smallest act of rebellion is all it takes if enough of us do them together.
Why are people shocked with these results?

The VP Elect of the US called school shootings "a fact of life". Seems pretty obvious that if you build a society where school shootings are normalized and you'll end up with a population that thinks CEO shootings are acceptable.

The only way forward is to change culture. 🏴
“Buckminster Fuller taught us that to fundamentally change something, we must build a new system that makes the existing system obsolete.

Balance this temptation of building a new system with the insight from Carl Sagan that, if you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.”
Riffing on the conversation on the Community call this week, more Seth Godin:

“We can't change capitalism. We can't even put a dent into it, but we can change the incentives of consumers, employees, and investors by creating different cultural boundaries and status roles that operate within the larger system.”

At Nación Black Flag, we hosting a little event in Mexico City and we do this stickers for the attendees.
“Confronted with so much choice it’s tempting to simply do your job, to pretend that it’s up to someone else, and to put your head down and follow instructions.

Don’t surrender your agency and revert to the numbing day-to-day grind of compliance. You can make things better.”

Does that mean community > indie > VC-backed?
I’m excited to share the new logo for Black Flag DAO!

Turns out my straw hat is 🏴 (but we already knew that)
A person has power. Enough people have power enough to change the world.

That’s what makes blockchain so revolutionary - not the financialization, but the coordination.

ICOs are all but gone, but people still exist. We will find another way to change the world. We are inevitable.
