Future Thinkers Smart Village is becoming a reality!

We have found a new, large 400 acre property with the right zoning, infrastructure and everything else we could need to make the village happen. The property has a RV camp with 80 accommodation spots, a private lake, two creeks, large forest, even a golf course, and the closest airport is just a two hour drive from there.

In this episode we want to share with you where we are right now with this project, as well as our plans and visions for how the smart village would look like on this new location.

In This Episode of Future Thinkers:

- Why we are creating the Smart Village and what problems we are solving with it

- How converging technologies can make rural living enjoyable and practical

- The benefits of a regenerative village for health, family and community life

- The opportunity for sustainable, affordable and innovative housing

- Whole systems design and its connection with biomimicry, permaculture and indigenous thinking

- The eight pillars of whole systems design

- The opportunity for experimenting with social organization, business structures, economy and investing

- What kind of mentality it takes to live in a smart village

- The three things that make intentional communities fail

- Why we need a network of regenerative villages all over the world

Miriam and her husband Stefan also lived in an intentional community called Morning Star for 10 years from 1992 to 2002, which they founded in rural BC, Canada.

Our guest in this episode is Jim Rutt, a systems thinker, host of the Jim Rutt Show podcast, and former key player in several technology companies. He was also the Chairman of Santa Fe Institute, where he was working in the scientific study of consciousness and evolutionary artificial intelligence.

We had Jim as a guest on the show a year ago, where he did an introduction to the concept of GameB and talked about the history of the movement.

Today we want to catch up with Jim about some of the ways that the concepts of GameB are being applied in practice. Earlier this year, he published a Medium article called A Journey to GameB, which lists lots of practical steps for transitioning into this new social operating system.

We invited Joe Brewer on the show again as part of our regenerative series. We had him last year, and we talked about cultural evolution and designing regenerative cultures. Since then Joe moved to a rural community in Colombia, started the Earth Regenerators Study Group, and wrote a new book. 

In this episode we talk about this new book called The Design Pathway for Regenerating Earth.

We also talk about what it’s like to live in economic collapse, how to re-establish relationships with nature and community, and how something as important as Earth Regeneration can be done with a sense of child-like playfulness.
