RevolutionZ

This is a brief recounting of the experience to date, and of where it will hopefully soon be going. It is also a bit of an experiment. Other Episodes to far have been scripted. This update is not. Let me know, if you have time, if you have a preference....

In this episode I discuss major criticisms of the equity approach to providing income. A case is made that if the rest of a future economy can operate compatibly, giving income only for duration, intensity, and onerousness of socially valued work is an approach consistent with our values.

This third Episode of RevolutionZ takes up the question - what should people earn for their labors. How does it work now? How should it work in a good economy.

If someone asks: “I get that you want a higher minimum wage, I get that you support people striking for better pay, but what do you think really ought to happen regarding people's earnings,” can we answer?

This episode tries to do so.

Episode 2 of RevolutionZ discusses values and their application to judging and envisioning societies. It argues the merits of settling on five values useful for motivating and guiding new vision: Equity, Self Management, Solidarity, Diversity, and Sustainability. It explores each value, and applies them to assessing current society. Doing so indicates the need for a new society and for new vision and strategy on the road to that new society.

This being only our second episode, I am still learning how to talk into a lonely microphone without seeing any audience, learning how to edit the recording, and learning even how to write these notes.

This first episode of RevolutionZ discusses the widely unacknowledged but nonetheless universally pressing need for activist, long-term, shared vision and strategy to provide hope, to orient and inform current actions, and to ensure that we wind up where we wish to arrive and not elsewhere.

This first episode therefore explains why RevolutionZ emphasizes vision and strategy. It  motivates episodes to come and, truth be told, it also begins my journey of moving from no experience with podcasting toward becoming steadily more adept at providing quality delivery and content.
