Hi I'm Emilio
and I've been active in the chapter
since the very begining in Spain.
Right now what I'm doing
in the movement is helping in any kind of informatic tools
and recently I joined the moderation team
also I was doing communication tasks between
different provinces, we were travelling with another company
It was to meet other people
and make the whole hispanic community be closer
with latinamerican chapters
What I like about resource based economy
especially is the most logical solution to problems
but I didn't make such a deep approach
So finding someone else who did it, saved me lots of work
It's the most logical way, if you see throughout the history, the only good things we have
Is technology, and the use of technology is completely corrupt and manipulated
So it's a redirection of our efforts and today's technology
To a human and symbiotic use with the earth
It's the best solution, I know no other one.
Though maybe someday another one appears, which would be well received and accepted by the movement
But it still is the only realistic one
Spanish chapter started
Through a very casual blog
People who always wanted to meet but didn't know how
Came to Valencia, then others met us.
In other provinces like Barcelona
Then lots of people, next big group would be Madrid
but it was very curious to see
how the people
didn't know the ideas but wanted to meet
speak about it, get more contacts
with people thinking the same
It grew too fastly
In a very short time we were making huge events
and didn't know what we would do if the growth
kept up that way
Now we're on many projects
Real, virtual
We're abandoning diffussion lately
but the projects are diffused by themselves
so we're doing 2 jobs in 1
For the future I see
i hope
to keep up, but with more people
and less time invested in the matrix
but more in open source technology to share
among us and get independent
from the system
The situation in Spain
was predictable
long ago
and it's a clear example
of the monetary system
the stages, the way it works
the way people behave
it's very predictable though there was people
who couldn't predict it, it really was
It was not because it not being so clear
but because it was the repeat of
the same paradigm in other places
The actual situation is difficult, people is leaving
Spain long ago was a country that sent emigrants
at its best economic time, received inmigrants
and it's now sending emigrants again, mainly to Germany
and other european countries
Now the cycles are getting shorter
so in 5-6 years
we'll have more inmigration, and the cycle would start again
until the game stops and they make up something else
the truth is a very black future, but just like any other
country, it's just that this is the very first european country
starting from the south, from which it will expand towards the north
What was seen
about the monarchy and the government
about trying a change
in the situation is clearly
an example of how politics are futile
According to what I heard and know
the intention of the president were not
at all similar to
the actions he made lately
So even if they are honest politians
there's no way to change
the paradigm, even if the president
wanted to set an RBE
he cannot fight against
great companies and banks
and not even take decisions, since he is not the one who rules
and the king... he is there to
earn money, nothing else
so even if he was so honest and wanted to
a real change, he cannot, not him or any other politian
I see the transition
just like many other people I know
and met in Bratislava
open source, share technology, and create abundance
and independence from the system
through these technologies
to be step by step more independent
and not depend from big service companies
and stupid products
Cyclic consumption, don't know how to say it in spanish
So after being far from these services
being every time more free, we would reduce our working time
and dedicate more time to this
so it would be an exponential growth, as exposed in
the technological theory, and the conciousness of the people
My message:
You don't need to be more surrounded, but better surrounded.
