You are a co-creator in a new high-tech/low-consumption social paradigm.
Indulgence is out. Materialism is out. Waste is out. Exploitation is out. Competition is out. Hierarchy is out. Arrogance and self-importance are out. Separation from Nature is out.
What it means to be rich and successful is changing. What it means to be human is changing. This site is dedicated to exploring these changes and what is now IN for your world.

Some Rule Changes
- Old Rule: Those with more rule over those with less.
New Rule: We each rule our own life and no more; we all equally deserve.
- Old Rule: The more people the more production, the more production the more profit, the more profit the better the life.
New Rule: The greater the technology the more the productivity, the less people the more niche-bounded resources available per person. A better life comes from optimizing sustainable productivity relative to a reduced number of consumers (carrying capacity).
- Old Rule: The more one blocks others, the more resources one can take.
New Rule: The more one collaborates with others, the more one can accomplish.
- Old Rule: If you are going to get anywhere, you have to do business with unsavory and predatory people.
New Rule: There is nowhere to go besides here and now; containment of exploitive and predatory people is your personal responsibility.
- Old Rule: We can grow forever, and know no boundaries, and do not have to provide any biospheric niche function other than our own desires...the world is for our consumption.
New Rule: Eventually even the cancer dies.
- Old Rule: Strength is the ability to take from others and forcefully manipulate others, and do it better than most...and get away with it.
New Rule: Strength is what you can accomplish with your own effort. Strength is determination and perseverance. Strength is flexibility and courage and the willingness to do what you are supposed to do. Strength is being part of the solution, rather than part of the problem.
