Spanish chapter: Emilio (Valencia)

  • 0:01 - 0:04
    Hi I'm Emilio
  • 0:04 - 0:08
    and I've been active in the chapter
  • 0:08 - 0:18
    since the very begining in Spain.
  • 0:18 - 0:20
    Right now what I'm doing
  • 0:28 - 0:35
    in the movement is helping in any kind of informatic tools
  • 0:35 - 0:40
    and recently I joined the moderation team
  • 0:40 - 0:45
    also I was doing communication tasks between
  • 0:45 - 0:49
    different provinces, we were travelling with another company
  • 0:49 - 0:51
    It was to meet other people
  • 0:51 - 0:55
    and make the whole hispanic community be closer
  • 0:55 - 1:09
    with latinamerican chapters
  • 1:09 - 1:16
    What I like about resource based economy
  • 1:16 - 1:23
    especially is the most logical solution to problems
  • 1:23 - 1:27
    but I didn't make such a deep approach
  • 1:27 - 1:33
    So finding someone else who did it, saved me lots of work
  • 1:33 - 1:39
    It's the most logical way, if you see throughout the history, the only good things we have
  • 1:39 - 1:49
    Is technology, and the use of technology is completely corrupt and manipulated
  • 1:49 - 1:55
    So it's a redirection of our efforts and today's technology
  • 1:55 - 1:59
    To a human and symbiotic use with the earth
  • 1:59 - 2:02
    It's the best solution, I know no other one.
  • 2:02 - 2:10
    Though maybe someday another one appears, which would be well received and accepted by the movement
  • 2:10 - 2:39
    But it still is the only realistic one
  • 2:39 - 2:43
    Spanish chapter started
  • 2:43 - 2:49
    Through a very casual blog
  • 2:49 - 2:53
    People who always wanted to meet but didn't know how
  • 2:53 - 2:59
    Came to Valencia, then others met us.
  • 2:59 - 3:02
    In other provinces like Barcelona
  • 3:02 - 3:07
    Then lots of people, next big group would be Madrid
  • 3:07 - 3:10
    but it was very curious to see
  • 3:10 - 3:13
    how the people
  • 3:13 - 3:18
    didn't know the ideas but wanted to meet
  • 3:18 - 3:21
    speak about it, get more contacts
  • 3:21 - 3:26
    with people thinking the same
  • 3:26 - 3:30
    It grew too fastly
  • 3:30 - 3:35
    In a very short time we were making huge events
  • 3:35 - 3:37
    and didn't know what we would do if the growth
  • 3:37 - 3:42
    kept up that way
  • 3:42 - 3:46
    Now we're on many projects
  • 3:46 - 3:50
    Real, virtual
  • 3:50 - 3:54
    We're abandoning diffussion lately
  • 3:54 - 3:58
    but the projects are
    diffused by themselves
  • 3:58 - 4:02
    so we're doing 2 jobs in 1
  • 4:02 - 4:06
    For the future I see
  • 4:06 - 4:08
    i hope
  • 4:08 - 4:12
    to keep up, but with more people
  • 4:12 - 4:16
    and less time invested in the matrix
  • 4:16 - 4:21
    but more in open source technology to share
  • 4:21 - 4:25
    among us and get independent
  • 4:25 - 4:55
    from the system
  • 4:55 - 5:00
    The situation in Spain
  • 5:00 - 5:02
    was predictable
  • 5:02 - 5:05
    long ago
  • 5:05 - 5:07
    and it's a clear example
  • 5:07 - 5:11
    of the monetary system
  • 5:11 - 5:13
    the stages, the way it works
  • 5:13 - 5:18
    the way people behave
  • 5:18 - 5:21
    it's very predictable though there was people
  • 5:21 - 5:23
    who couldn't predict it, it really was
  • 5:23 - 5:28
    It was not because it not being so clear
  • 5:28 - 5:30
    but because it was the repeat of
  • 5:30 - 5:36
    the same paradigm in other places
  • 5:36 - 5:45
    The actual situation is difficult, people is leaving
  • 5:45 - 5:49
    Spain long ago was a country that sent emigrants
  • 5:49 - 5:52
    at its best economic time, received inmigrants
  • 5:52 - 5:57
    and it's now sending emigrants again, mainly to Germany
  • 5:57 - 6:02
    and other european countries
  • 6:02 - 6:06
    Now the cycles are getting shorter
  • 6:06 - 6:08
    so in 5-6 years
  • 6:08 - 6:12
    we'll have more inmigration, and the cycle would start again
  • 6:12 - 6:19
    until the game stops and they make up something else
  • 6:19 - 6:25
    the truth is a very black future, but just like any other
  • 6:25 - 6:29
    country, it's just that this is the very first european country
  • 6:29 - 6:36
    starting from the south, from which it will expand towards the north
  • 6:36 - 6:43
    What was seen
  • 6:44 - 6:52
    about the monarchy and the government
  • 6:52 - 6:56
    about trying a change
  • 6:56 - 7:01
    in the situation is clearly
  • 7:01 - 7:06
    an example of how politics are futile
  • 7:06 - 7:09
    According to what I heard and know
  • 7:09 - 7:12
    the intention of the president were not
  • 7:12 - 7:15
    at all similar to
  • 7:15 - 7:19
    the actions he made lately
  • 7:19 - 7:23
    So even if they are honest politians
  • 7:23 - 7:28
    there's no way to change
  • 7:28 - 7:33
    the paradigm, even if the president
  • 7:33 - 7:36
    wanted to set an RBE
  • 7:36 - 7:39
    he cannot fight against
  • 7:39 - 7:43
    great companies and banks
  • 7:43 - 7:48
    and not even take decisions, since he is not the one who rules
  • 7:48 - 7:51
    and the king... he is there to
  • 7:51 - 7:56
    earn money, nothing else
  • 7:56 - 8:00
    so even if he was so honest and wanted to
  • 8:00 - 8:06
    a real change, he cannot, not him or any other politian
  • 8:14 - 8:16
    I see the transition
  • 8:16 - 8:20
    just like many other people I know
  • 8:20 - 8:24
    and met in Bratislava
  • 8:24 - 8:29
    open source, share technology, and create abundance
  • 8:29 - 8:31
    and independence from the system
  • 8:31 - 8:33
    through these technologies
  • 8:33 - 8:37
    to be step by step more independent
  • 8:37 - 8:43
    and not depend from big service companies
  • 8:43 - 8:46
    and stupid products
  • 8:46 - 8:54
    Cyclic consumption, don't know how to say it in spanish
  • 8:55 - 8:59
    So after being far from these services
  • 8:59 - 9:02
    being every time more free, we would reduce our working time
  • 9:02 - 9:06
    and dedicate more time to this
  • 9:06 - 9:10
    so it would be an exponential growth, as exposed in
  • 9:10 - 9:18
    the technological theory, and the conciousness of the people
  • 9:25 - 9:28
    My message:
  • 9:35 - 9:39
    You don't need to be more surrounded, but better surrounded.
