− | '''RBE10K''' (R-B-E-10-1000 or {{IPAc-en|ˈ|ɑr||'|b|iː|'|iː}} {{IPAc-en|ˈ|t|ɛ|n|ˈ|θ|aʊ|z|ə|n|d}}) is a | + | '''RBE10K''' (R-B-E-10-1000 or {{IPAc-en|ˈ|ɑr||'|b|iː|'|iː}} {{IPAc-en|ˈ|t|ɛ|n|ˈ|θ|aʊ|z|ə|n|d}}) is a [[w:Simple living|minimalist (simple living)]] or [[w:Eco-communalism|eco-communalist]] experiment project seeking to implement the a basic [[Resource-Based Economic Model]] (RBEM) system. The experiment is being planned and prepared through this Wiki and other tools since 1st January 2013, and will run for two years, 2015-2016, involving 10,000 volunteers in a yet to-be-determined location, with a main objective of trialling a real world RBEM, i.e. a social arrangement engineered to satisfy premises of sustainability, equality, liberty, health, and access to the necessities of life without using money, trade, or authority or privilege systems. |

− | + | This wiki is a work in progress, and it is currently in very early stages of development, with little information and almost no planning started. In order to grow and develop, this project requires the participation of interested volunteers to either plan, contribute with information, or intend to be one of the pioneers who will make part of the first experimental RBEM settlement. | |
− | + | <!--T:4--> | |
+ | Current participants of RBE10K project planning believe that a real-world RBEM system experience, even a minimalist or eco-communialist one, will help expand awareness and cause a surge in interest on this lifestyle. Once in execution in 2015, the project includes plans to regularly upload information and videos of day to day life in the community to the project's website, and several social networking services like YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, assisting this way with other transition projects like [[The Venus Project]], and collaborating with awareness-raising movements like [[The Zeitgeist Movement]] and [[The Free World Charter]]. | ||

Participation in the project is focused on teamwork. Teams are encouraged to be small enough so that members can become well acquanted with each other. Teams are also encouraged to work together on a very specific requirement for the project, which they can choose freely. Teams also are intended to interact with each other, relying on the specific expertise they accumulate. Any participant can, at any time, participate in as many teams as they are comfortable with. | Participation in the project is focused on teamwork.

The RBE10K Project derives inspiration from a number of projects and movements. The most relevant is of course the work of [[w:Jacque Fresco|Jacque Fresco]] and [[The Venus Project]], and the clarity of [[w:Peter Joseph|Peter Joseph]] for developing those works and making them accessible and popular. The project is also inspired in the works of Nature through biology and ecology, notions of dynamic equilibrium and [[w:systems theory|systems theory]]. The project would not be possible without the support of the Free and Open-Source Software ([[w:FOSS|FOSS]]) community and the hacker ethics, and projects like the [[w:Linux|Linux]] and most especially the Wikipedia. Also from commercial companies which provide invaluable zero-cost services such as Google and Facebook. The project also derives inspiration in the creativity of game developers, who allows us to immerse in imagined worlds with other real people ([[w:MMOG|MMOG]]) such as Runescape. And finally all the many emergent solutions to today's problems like pollution, ecological degradation, poverty, war, injustice, sexism, poor health, mistreatment of animals, etc, which even though individually they're patchwork and miss dealing with the root causes for the problems, they help by raising awareness and stimulating individuals to take action and personal responsibility. | The RBE10K Project derives inspiration from a number of projects and movements.
