Good morning Jeff ~

I have spent the last three days reading your essay(s) on growth... This has been something that has puzzled me for decades...

People ask; "What is the Meaning of Life?"

Perhaps, the better question to ask is; "What is our Purpose in Life?" Don't most humans find meaning once they find their purpose?

In today's world, the word "growth" has come to mean constant, unchecked, expansion of society... and for no other reason other than expansion for expansion's sake...

I equate it to cancer... cancer, as defined is..."A malignant tumor of potentially unlimited growth that expands locally by invasion and systemically by metastasis."

Cancer has no real PURPOSE other than to survive and to spread...does it? And, what happens when it goes unchecked? The body dies, and the cancer too ceases to exist...

Now compare this to what is happening to our Earth and to our societies.... Human "growth" is killing our Earth...and at the same time...humankind...

This phrase keeps running through my head late at night....

"Growth without purpose...innovation without substance...."

Many nights I lay awake and think about these things... I wonder if we were given a clean slate AND the knowledge of the above phrase (which I think of as a natural truth) - how do we NOT do this same thing over again?

How do we rebuild a society that embraces innovation with purpose and substance while not growing out of control like a cancer?

Perhaps your Rhizome concept is a start, a step in the right direction. But we have a lot of paradigms to over come first... such things as the ingrained Puritan mindset that we must ALWAYS be busy, productive...that laying in the grass looking at the clouds or the stars is laziness...and equating that with "evil"....

Yes, there is a need for a whole new paradigm.... I hope that this time we get it right...

Hi, I only just came across your work, which is a valuable contribution to thinking about viable alternatives to the 'growth imperative'. One subject you only touch on is the growth imperative of money itself and our personal and community investment in its web. National money issued out of thin air by private banks and owed as a debt to them already creates a 'growth imperative' for every individual or every local or national government needing to service their debts. Adding interest to the equation literally 'compounds' the problem through 'compound interest'. We end up trashing the planet to please the insatiable God of Growth aka Money.

Over the last 25 years a global movement of activists has experimented with 'complementary' or 'community' currencies that operate at a local, regional or virtual level. There have been thousands of failures and a few brilliant successes. We are now processing the lessons from many of these experiments in order to design more robust and sustainable future systems. It is often said that this movement is at a similar stage to the Wright brothers and the early pioneers of flight. We are pioneering new forms of flying to the sustainable future with new designs of currency.

For comprehensive resources on this subject, take a look at my website www.valueforpeople.co.uk I have just completed a Community Currency Design Manual, currently being trialled in North America and Europe. Get in touch through the website if you want to know more.

Best wishes for your work

Dear Jeff,
Deep thinking those 5 essays. It confirms me in some intuition about resilient human networks. New models are to be build in order to stick to the specifities of each community. They are in the world and outside at the same time, particular place where dialogue can be build with the future.
Any ideas why US citizens are so little interested in your views ? I'm French and eager to read your comments about that.

Juche.
