By participating here at '''RBEM.org''' I hope RBE extends beyond a sole technocratic take on nowadays problems, and some actual transitional or hybrid RBE projects are implemented in order to test and then refine the RBE further, so it no longer remains just wishful thinking. | By participating here at '''RBEM.org''' I hope RBE extends beyond a sole technocratic take on nowadays problems, and some actual transitional or hybrid RBE projects are implemented in order to test and then refine the RBE further, so it no longer remains just wishful thinking. | ||

− | Since in RBEM all is owned by all or nobody individually thereby, a currency abstraction (money) does not equate ownership and exclusivity and thereby create an elevated position of control and power thereby. In an actual RBE society resources and services are accounted for, according their availability and demand of such. Technically seen, resources will be likely normalized in Wh or closely related (Energy x Time) and then used within the decision process to acquire, share and recycle resources, e.g. you can say then "to build a house or bridge or settlement on Mars 'costs' so many resources, and this option is more efficient as the other"; abstractly considered this a sort of technical currency, but one which cannot be obtained by individuals to take control of certain resources, it is simply a way to compare overheads or assess resources. The main aim is to satisfy all true demands or needs (see also next question) by thorough survey to determine the inventory, and the equal rights of all to have access to such. | + | Since in RBEM all is owned by all or nobody individually thereby, a currency abstraction (money) does not equate ownership and exclusivity and thereby create an elevated position of control and power thereby.

The actual details how different resources are assessed and then accounted for is part of the [[RBE 10K]] project; how resources are made comperable with a technical currency such as Wh or something closely related. | The actual details how different resources are assessed and then accounted for is part of the [[RBE 10K]] project; how resources are made comperable with a technical currency such as Wh or something closely related. | ||

[[w:Nonviolent Communication|Nonviolent Communication]] (NVC) has developed an approach to determine actual needs, e.g. the need for a car to satisfy the need to show status might have its root in the underlying need to be seen, recognized, or loved; and this is a social need and has only on the surface to do with actual physical need for a car, as of this example. RBE suggests that we don't need to own things, we solely need them e.g. to commute from point A to B, after the use of the vehicle someone else can use it; things are shared, not owned; at most they are possessed if required. | [[w:Nonviolent Communication|Nonviolent Communication]] (NVC) has developed an approach to determine actual needs, e.g. the need for a car to satisfy the need to show status might have its root in the underlying need to be seen, recognized, or loved; and this is a social need and has only on the surface to do with actual physical need for a car, as of this example.
