| − | + | '''The Community''' RBE10K Project is aiming at creating is that of people around the world who feel an alignment in their principles and values with those of this project, and would like to move to one of the planned settlements, regardless of the possibilities allowed by their current circumstances. Such community is currently in need of defining name, a term to identify and distinguish them. Whilst not a nation our a country, such identifier must allow for a demonym, so that it can be used to both identify the community as a whole, as well as any individuals who identify with it or live in one of its settlements. | |

[[w:Gaia (mythology)|Gaia]] is the primal Greek godess of the Earth. [[w:Gaia hypothesis|Gaia]] also represents the notion of the stability of Earth's natural systems, which is akin to RBE's notion of dynamic equilibrium. There is also already a [[w:Gaia Movement|Gaia Movement]], which is a network of organisations focused on sustainable practices, which is also one of the main focuses of RBE10K. There is as well a concept of [[w:Gaia philosophy|Gaia philosophy]], which proposes that living organisms improve their environment, something that Humans are decidedly not doing (from the perspective of conservation of naturally evolved processes that allowed for our own species to appear and develop), and something that RBE is committed to do: return Nature to its pristine condition. ''Gaia'', the living Earth, is a concept which is compatible with RBE's biopsychosocial nature and dynamic equilibrium, however with a component of poetry and mysticism added. | [[w:Gaia (mythology)|Gaia]] is the primal Greek godess of the Earth.

A [[w:Diaspora|Diaspora]] is a Greek word for scattering/dispersion, and is commonly used for people dispersed by whatever cause to more than one location. The nature of these communities will be that of a diaspora, i.e. people that feel connected under a cause and are dispersed throughout the world, without a land to call home other than the Earth itself. Furthermore, more than describing the scattered nature of people aligned with values and principles of RBE or RBE10K Project, ''Gaia Diaspora'' intends to intentionally identify itself as a diaspora, rejecting notions of patriotism and borders. | A [[w:Diaspora|Diaspora]] is a Greek word for scattering/dispersion, and is commonly used for people dispersed by whatever cause to more than one location.

''Gaians'' would be those who live all over Gaia and belonging to it, as opposed to having the Earth belong to humans. Gaians, by definition, would refuse the concept of country, and wouldn't have a flag or any other patriotic symbols. The name ''Gaia Diaspora'' then has to do with willingly renouncing from taking possession or defining boundaries, acknowledging our belonging to the Earth instead, and pledging to assisting with its restoration to its pre-industrial or pristine state. | ''Gaians'' would be those who live all over Gaia and belonging to it, as opposed to having the Earth belong to humans.
