Community: The Organic Natural Emergence of Complexity

Lucas Root and Sara Polak, on the Elements of Community podcast, explore how complexity can naturally take root in our lives through community; dive deep into what it is; its importance for us all, and even better – how to make sure we are fostering safe communities that embody positivity!

Could blockchain be the key to unlocking a new way of life for communities around the world? Sara believes so! She pointed out, according to Robin Dunbar’s research, cognitive capacity limits all communities – however, this could be broken through technology such as Blockchain.

By utilizing decentralized networks for peer-to-peer communication between members trading goods or behaviors and interdisciplinary learning from AI tech, web three technologies, and anthropology/philosophy among other topics, we may witness a post-industrial model where people no longer feel obligated by nine-to-five jobs, freeing them up for more time to enjoy their lives with creativity at its center.

Imagine a future where virtual reality enables us to test out our wildest ideas with none of the dangerous repercussions. Where no matter who you are, what ethnic background or income bracket, information is available at your fingertips and knowledge truly becomes power! With technology constantly evolving around us, new possibilities arise for enriching communities everywhere.

Other subjects we covered on the show:

  • Sara dives into Plato’s Republic, depicting a world in which the ultimate goal is to create an ideal master race through arranged marriages. It perfectly paints a picture of what it could be like if we had no freedom or rights when it comes to making our own decisions!
  • She paints a beautiful picture of an ideal community leader who grants people genuine liberty to express themselves without worrying about any repercussions or manipulations.
  • They also agreed in a discussion that humans have the potential to work together in a way that is extraordinary, unlike tigers who are solitary.
  • Sara encourages curiosity, respect for different opinions, and open dialogue about important issues.
  • Finally, she offered her unique perspective on what the future holds for her community.
