Starting a superstructure is only the beginning. The real task is envisioning what it can do, how it will work, and who you need to work with. If you're not a member, consider joining now. If you are a member, be bold, jump in, and use the superstructure to start organizing for survival. Edit it, add to the vision, and make it real, online and off. And don't forget to rave.

More about Superstructures

  • EmergentNRG

    From simple actions emerge energy efficient households and communities
  • Founder: Fantong2019

    ,

  • Who We Need
    People who have common sense, imagination, and communication skills.  Engineers, social psychologists, systems thinkers, left AND right brain thinkers.
  • How to join
    An amoeba, by following simple rules, can create a community of cells that self-organize into a slime mold to survive certain environmental conditions. What behaviors or actions can we take as individuals that can self-organize households, neighborhoods, communities into more energy-efficient, zero-energy, or even energy generating organizations. Mission: can you propose or describe actions and behaviors that have or could lead to this?
  • Mission
    Develop actions and behaviors that individuals can take which will lead to households and communities to self-organize into zero-energy or energy generating structures.  Generate simple rules that we can follow that will promote and foster these actions and behaviors.
  • What we can accomplish
    • Generate and share ideas, actions, and behaviors that individuals can adopt which will reduce our energy needs and hopefully lead to a net energy generation for households and communities. We can look at our lifestyles and our connections with others to promote the emergence of energy efficient network. 
  • How this superstruct works
    • Create  and post articles, videos, podcasts, etc of of actions and behaviors that you do or have tried. We can host discussions here and serve as a repository linking to everyone's ideas. Let's generate ideas and see what emerges.

    • Food for the People - Teach communities to set up gardens, using what is already available to them, so that they can feed themselves rather than rely on others to do so for them. (http://superstructgame.net/SuperstructView/147)

      DEN (the Distributed Educational Network) - With the growing population needs of the global diaspora, school systems are strained to collapsing, and lets face it, schools were failing at the turn of the century. Distributed technology can bring more people with more to teach to more students, and engage them wherever they choose to be. (http://superstructgame.net/SuperstructView/116)

      The Common Purpose Engine - "Large-scale problems do not require large-scale solutions. They require small-scale solutions within a large-scale framework".  The CPE provides the framework for small-scale actions like those EmergentNRG is generating.  (http://superstructgame.net/SuperstructView/2)

      Community Works Program -We need to create self-sustaining, smaller groups to support collapsing larger infrastructure.  As we develop ideas to sustain a community, we can expand and move those ideas into suataining a state, then a nation, then the world.   With the flexibility of smaller groups, we can, and have to, tackle problems that large groups tend to ignore.
