<div><em><strong>Who?</strong></em><br />Are you a sensemaking junkie with a head full of future memes getting high on the second hand brain fumes of the noosphere?
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>...Or perhaps you flew in from a neighboring digital ecosystem for a quick peek, only to get stuck in the wispy silk tendrils spiraling out from the liminal web?
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Either way. Welcome.<br /><br />
</div>

<div>We're so glad you're here.

</div>

<div><strong><em>What is Future Culture?</em></strong>
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Right here, right now... Well, it's Game B, Metamodernism, Integral, Regenerative, Complexity Sciences, Embodied NeoTribes, Solarpunk, Game Theory, p2p (peer-to-peer), Lunar Punk, Cosmolocalism, Systems Thinking, Warm Data, Change Makers, Permaculture, Futurists, Post-Politics/MetaPolitics, New Alternative Economic Models, The Emergensia, The Intellectual Deep Web, The MetaTribes, Religion that's not a Religion (SBNR), Cult that's not a Cult (Ethical Cult), Dao that's not a Dao (LiminalDAO), The Linked Open Knowledge Commons, The Embodied Distributed Wisdom Commons -- It's all that, none of that-- and a whole lot more.<br /><br /><em>Future Culture seeks to answer the theory and embody the praxis of Cultural DNA in right relationship with 100% of life. And, how to Cultivate Coherent Distributed Culture that is in Consonance with the Earth in a Good Way.</em>
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div><strong><em>Who will benefit?</em></strong>
</div>

<div>Remember how we forgot to put the "A" in STEM... Yea, well... We're still doing that.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div><strong>Culture is a high science.</strong>
</div>

</div>

<div><em>Game B</em> has potential to be more than just an idealistic<em> meme du jour</em> of cog psych-informed philosopher kings, permaculture hippie regen-nerds, transdiciplinary metatheorists, wisdom walking systems geeks, metamodern priestess covens, consciousness-hacking wizard guilds, integral supremacists, the sensemaking aristocracy, and psychedelic tech-bros who've been to burning man...

<div> 
</div>

<div>We love each and every one of you so deeply and it's time to do more. It's time to show up more fully, more embodied, more co-creative, more in deep relationship and self-transcendent agape with one another. #TraumaInformedCultureWarAikidoMasters
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Anyhow, this project seeks to benefit everyone in these subcultures, alt-cultures, counter-cultures, and developmental cohorts interested in cultural shift and co-evolutionary transformation-- particularly those interested in manifesting and fully realizing more prosocial, <em>game b </em> principals. This project may be specifically salient for those invested in mindfully creating and propagating coordinated memes, memeplexes and metamemes that seek to intentionally build protopic inertia as a cultural trim tab to manifest prosocial futures.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>This is not an artist collective, a music label, a digital gallery, a cool influencer NFT project for the creator economy... This also isn't a <em>Game B </em> blockchain scheme with a viral meme-coin and a goof campaign for the LOLs.<br /><br />
</div>

<div><strong>Scaffolding for the emergence of coherent distributed culture across bioregions that coheres sensemaking in digital spaces, while orienting to the physical and attuning to place-based knowledge, is no small feat.<br /><br /></strong>
</div>

<div><strong>This is a <em>MASSIVE</em> undertaking not for the faint of heart.</strong>
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div><strong><em>What will the funds will be used for?</em></strong>
</div>

<div>Establishing and resourcing a team to commit time, energy and attention to the following short and long term goals: 
</div>

<ul>
<li><span style="font-weight:900;">Establish: </span>Confirm official core team from current resource list.
</li>

<li><strong>Plan:</strong> Move team and funding to transparent commons-based open platform like <a href="https://opencollective.com"><a href="https://opencollective.com/futureculture" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://opencollective.com/futureculture</a></a> (currently in approval process) or <a href="https://opencollective.foundation"><a href="https://opencollective.foundation" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://opencollective.foundation</a></a> or mainstream/alternative DAO/DLT structure (e.g. AZPO, DiSCO, DHU, DDO, hREA/ValueFlows/Neighbourhoods, Copiosis, etc.)
</li>

<li><strong>Strategize:</strong> concretize and schedule process for surveying and mapping of the Future Culture digital ecosystem. 
</li>

<li><strong>Surveying Fund:</strong> financially resource the mapping coalition of the Future Culture digital ecosystem.
</li>

<li><strong>Weave Trust Networks:</strong> enable culture team to create and deepen in relationship with current stewards and communities in the future culture ecosystems. Set and stabilize relational rhizome.
</li>

<li><strong>Research:</strong> establish appropriate information channels for deep trust and transparent communication across ecosystems.
</li>

<li><strong>Clarify:</strong> establish coherent memetic strategy and deployment, as well as emergent enculturation process -- particularly as it pertains to transmitting abstract essence, liminal art, and deep culture codes with regard to experiential cohesion, informational chunking, participatory learning, participatory culture, and memetic interoperability between co-evolutionary cohorts.
</li>

<li><strong>Communicate:</strong> linear and non-linear strategy to co-stewards and community members. Set and stabilize field.
</li>

<li><strong>Scaffold:</strong> technology to facilitate coherent coordinated distributed participatory culture. Set and stabilize membranes.
</li>

<li><strong>Seed:</strong> select musicians, artists, and other creative projects to fund with orientation to permaCULTURE (Roberto Valenti, Jillian Hovey) of virtuosity and reciprocacity.
</li>

<li><strong>Source:</strong> distribute funds to resource artists to stabilize living conditions and support their creative process.
</li>

<li><strong>Steward:</strong> idea doula and midwife artist projects through each phase to completion, including partnering with existing programs and education (eg. Design Science Studio et al.)
</li>

<li><strong>Share:</strong> gather the yield and distribute the harvest in a mindfully coordinated launch with orchestrated and emergent community cross-pollination that returns value to both artists and across communities. Potentially partner with those communities and platforms using new economic value flows models/tools that enable coordination, cooperation, and collaboration in positive echoing feedback loops.
</li>

<li><strong>Succession:</strong> compost those roles and processes which need decompose and allow the new, richer soil to emerge to improve upon on the cyclical process. 
</li>

</ul>
<div>This could be the first phase and iteration of the Cultural Cohesion work needed for <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/join-for-access-61057311?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&amp;utm_source=copy_to_clipboard&amp;utm_campaign=postshare" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Gaian Mind Connectome</a> and similar projects in coordinated parallax.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div><strong>How soon do we need the funds?</strong>
</div>

<div>We needed these funds years ago, decades ago... but I guess... "like yesterday" will do. ;}
</div>

<div>The universe is always right on time! :D
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div><strong>What will the support will mean to us?</strong>
</div>

<div>Literally the proliferation, continuation and sustaining of life in a real and concrete way to co-create distributed coherent culture for coordinated cultural shift. That is to say: food, shelter, clothing, healthcare, regeneration, and perhaps even the thriving of those deeply heart-centered beings in dharmic service to all of life on earth.<br /><br /><a href="https://twitter.com/FutureCulturing" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Future Culture Twitter</a><br />Written By: <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JWmum2k9f_SEKW2SRCnaEfoFvN_0UcPEa4nHV4tiyCM/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Turquoise Sound</a><br /><br /><br /><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Web 3 References</span><br />DisCO: <a href="http://Disco.Coop"><a href="http://Disco.Coop" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://Disco.Coop</a></a><br />DHU: <a href="https://hypha.earth"><a href="https://hypha.earth" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://hypha.earth</a></a><br />DDO: <a href="https://thismuchweknow.net/2017/01/05/edge-home-groove-an-everyone-culture/"><a href="https://thismuchweknow.net/2017/01/05/edge-home-groove-an-everyone-culture/" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://thismuchweknow.net/2017/01/05/edge-home-groove-an-everyone-culture/</a></a><br />Neighbourhoods on Holochain:<a href="https://neighbourhoods.network"><a href="https://neighbourhoods.network" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://neighbourhoods.network</a></a><br />Copiosis:<a href="https://copiosis.com"><a href="https://copiosis.com" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://copiosis.com</a></a><br /><br /><br />

Cultivating Future Culture

On Friday, April 13th, our sweet miniature dachshund, Emmett, hurt his back. One of his doggy siblings was getting too rough with him and he flopped over weird while trying to roll over onto his back in an act of submission. Instantly we knew that something was wrong as he was struggling to walk and shaking in pain. We brought him to the emergency vet and they said that it was either a pinched nerve or an issue with a disc in his back. They gave him some pain meds and sent him home, telling us to return if he worsened. Saturday, April 14th (his 8th birthday nonetheless), Emmett woke up completely unable to move the lower half of his body. We brought him back to the emergency vet where they told us that he was paralyzed from his mid back down. He was diagnosed with IVDD (intervertebral disc disease), which is a condition that affects about 25% of dachshunds. Essentially it’s every dachshund owner’s nightmare. The vets at the emergency clinic presented the option of surgery but the catch was that it was $6000 and there was only a 50-75% chance of Emmett regaining use of his back legs. We scrambled to try to figure out a way to come up with the money for him to have the surgery. The surgery is something that needed to occur immediately and there wasn’t time for us to gather the money as the success rate for the surgery drastically decreases with each passing day. Despite the fact that surgery wasn’t an option and despite the fact that the surgeon said it is very unlikely that Emmett will ever walk again, we aren’t giving up on him. We have plans to move forward with getting him a wheelchair and drag bags as well as starting acupuncture, cold laser therapy and hydrotherapy. <br /><br />The journey to his recovery won’t be an easy one and it certainly won’t be one that’s cheap either. We have already spent $700 towards his care and it’s only the very beginning. Obviously this isn’t something we were expecting and because time is such a big factor in his recovery, there’s not much time for us to save and plan financially. Getting him a custom wheelchair will be a few hundred dollars, drag bags (a soft bag that covers his lower body so that his legs and tummy aren’t scratched or hurt when trying to move around sans wheelchair) are typically around $40 a piece, and his physical therapy will consist of multiple appointments for each practice which will come with a price of their own. <br /><br />He’s been through a lot the past few days and we know that he’s sad and confused as to what’s going on. Due to the paralysis, the poor guy has been dealing with incontinence and pees himself frequently throughout the day. We have started putting diapers on him and he’s constantly having to be wiped down and cleaned.  He’s currently on strict bed rest and we are making sure to shower him with nonstop love during this time. We want to do everything possible to get him back to feeling comfortable as well as feeling a sense of normalcy so that he can continue to live out the rest of his years happily. Emmett is the sweetest little guy who is so very go with the flow and his only really desire in life is to just be around the people he loves. Oh and treats. This beefy guy loves him some treats. :-) <br /><br />We know that there are so many deserving causes for people to donate to and we aren’t at all suggesting that ours is a more pressing matter than the other issues of the world. In fact, the idea of starting a gofundme was not originally our own and is not something that we are necessarily comfortable with. Money is a sensitive topic for so many and it’s hard to stand before a group of people and just ask for donations. A bunch of people have suggested this as an option for us and have said that they’d be willing to donate. Knowing that there are people who want to help our lil guy and help us help him is beyond touching. That being said, we completely understand that times are hard and many people will be unable to donate. We also know that there may be some kindhearted and generous people out there who will be tempted to donate despite the fact that they are struggling financially and we in no way want anyone to make things harder for themselves for our sake. Simply sharing Emmett’s story and sending some good vibes his way will mean more than we could ever express. If anyone has any experience with IVDD or caring for a paralyzed dog in general, information on that would be just as helpful, as this is all so new and life changing for our entire family. <br /><br />We are so thankful for everyone who have already sent well wishes for our sweet boy and the fact that we have people wanting to help means the world. If Emmett’s care totals up to be less costly than planned, we will absolutely pay it forward and donate any extra money to a nonprofit organization for other animals in need of help. <br /><br /><img class="not-resizeable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/29241268_15240804370_r.jpeg" alt="" width="100%" />￼￼￼￼￼￼<img class="not-resizeable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/29241268_15240804730_r.jpeg" alt="" width="100%" />￼￼￼￼￼￼<img class="not-resizeable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/29241268_15240804970_r.jpeg" alt="" width="100%" />￼￼￼￼￼￼<img class="not-resizeable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/29241268_15240805210_r.jpeg" alt="" width="100%" />￼￼￼￼￼￼<img class="not-resizeable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/29241268_15240805440_r.jpeg" alt="" width="100%" />￼￼￼￼￼￼
