How will convergence bring solidarity economy to main street?
Lets ask AI...
A Space to Reimagine the Future...
Thanks to my mentor and friend who pushed me to think clean and pivot to community empowerment. This project is dedicated to him, my family, friends, the Unitarian Universalist and the better angel in us all who keep fighting the good fight.
I am a natural systems thinker, pattern seeker and see the world through concepts. OCD in finding the truth and a solution. The importance of local economy was a seed planted in my sociology class from a case study about the cause of the deterioration of urban communities starting in the 60's. This pattern has spread to townships and rural communities like wildfire. An economic progress that has shifted to benefit the few at the cost of the many.
Community Convergence is a system thinking approach to integrate multiple disciplines from sociology to economic to political science to build a roadmap for the future of economic progress. The vison, mission statement, strategy and framework is to bring people and communities together with a shared vision.
I asked a startup AI today to see how convergence fits into the solidarity economy. Perhaps, it was my ego to see if AI's answer validate the patterns and paradigm shift I see. What I didn't expect was the clarity of the answer. Remember, AI is just a tool. My humble opinion is that it will be our collective humanity, creativity, determination, and resilience that will transform the current extractive mindset to a growth mindset where communities and nature is at the heart of human progress.

When Communities Win... We All Win!
A systems change for the people and by the people. Words of wisdom from the past.. It takes a village to raise a child.
