Society is Trippin Balls
On a system predicated on economic extraction, oppression, and endless growth. Time to explore post-capitalist alternatives inspired by nature's wisdom.
The Current System is Broken
We're living in a system designed for extraction, not regeneration. It's time to acknowledge the fundamental flaws and imagine something better.
Neoliberal capitalism prioritizes profit extraction over human and ecological wellbeing, creating unsustainable wealth concentration.
Current systems perpetuate inequality and marginalize communities, especially minorities and indigenous peoples.
Modern economic systems continue colonial patterns of resource extraction and cultural domination on a global scale.
The endless growth paradigm is destroying Earth's life-supporting ecosystems at an unprecedented rate.
"There is no such thing as society" is just a false egregore that those in power would have us believe, in order to consolidate power in Westphalian state monoliths.— Jeff Emmett, Mycoeconomics
Mycoeconomics: Nature's Blueprint
Fungi have been Earth's master economists for millions of years, creating networks of mutual aid and resource distribution. What if we designed our economies like mycelial networks?
Like mycelial networks, economic systems should facilitate resource sharing and mutual support across interconnected communities.
Emulate nature's circular processes where waste becomes input, creating sustainable and regenerative economic flows.
Learn from forest ecosystems where cooperation and mutual aid are more dominant than competition for survival.
Build economic systems that can adapt and respond to changing conditions, like fungi responding to environmental shifts.
The Mycelial Revolution
Just as fungi decompose dead matter to create new life, we can decompose failing neoliberal systems and upcycle their nutrients into regenerative alternatives. The revolution is — and has always been — mycelial.
Post-Capitalist Alternatives
These aren't utopian dreams — they're practical alternatives being implemented by communities worldwide who refuse to accept that "there is no alternative."
Local exchange systems that value ecological regeneration, care work, and community resilience over profit extraction.
Decision-making systems that give communities direct control over resources and policies affecting their lives.
Platform cooperatives and decentralized technologies that serve communities rather than extractive corporations.
Economic models that prioritize care work, emotional labor, and the reproduction of life over capital accumulation.
"We are in urgent need of new economic models that can facilitate managed degrowth and support localized production in the real economy."— From Mycoeconomics and Permaculture Currencies
