🧐TLDR In Solarpunk, technology is an ally, not a vector. It urges to accommodate technology in social, economic and political coordinates in which it can flourish. It is not a question of increasingly advanced technology, but rather that it serves to build harmony.

6. PRIORITY TO SOCIAL INNOVATIONS BASED ON: ✅ co-governance and advocacy ✅ redistributive logics ✅ public goods & communal management ✅ common good objectives This creates lifestyles related to Degrowth and Post-scarcity.

Solarpunk worldview is: ⬆️HIGH LIFE ⬇️LOW TECH Yes, technology is essential but let's explain its role in a Solarpunk reality. 🧵

6. PEACE The spaces we inhabit are more than simple scenarios. They are an active context that builds us both individually & collectively. A pleasant environment in which we find quietness and protection as a substrate to be happy, is essential to face a socioeconomical change.

5. NEW APPROACH ✅ Nature interweaves with human-made. ✅ Artistic interventions connect spaces. ✅ Private areas branch out to give them public status. ✅ Energetic communities are consolidated. ✅ Permablitz takes care of abandoned corners. ✅ A bit of guerrilla gardening.

#SOLARPUNK proposes to build city models in which we move from being CONSUMERS to NEIGHBORS. ✊The places we inhabit and the way we create life in them are a change vector to build a new socio-economic paradigm. 🧵(breakdown)

CONCLUSIONS: 3 As Bruno Latour warns us, technologies are not neutral and in their development & management they carry an axiological bias. So our management of the AI may pose an existential risk & become a disadaptive step or at least an asymmetrically distributed adaptation.

CONCLUSIONS: 2 The idea is that development should cease to be subordinated, for a moment, to mercantile and competitive interests in favor of the Common Good.

The Future Life Institute is calling for a pause in the development of AI models more advanced than GPT-4 for the next 6 months. 👉futureoflife.org/open-letter/pa… ✍️Elon Musk or Yuval Noah Harari have already signed this petition. Precautionary Principle or Neo-Luddism? 🧵 (thread)
