Collective Consciousness Shift ๐๐ฎ | Roundup #61
Collective Consciousness Shift with ReFi + the latest news, updates, jobs and events in ReFi and beyond!

Happy Belated Earth Day ย Regens! ๐
Gabriel here, a knowledge worker focused on high-impact research to simplify complex system theories by implementing an emergent framework for maximazing the potential of organizations and the people within them. I'm experimenting in the intersection of Web3, Cognitive Science and the Creator Economy with the vision of fostering the future of work and Integral Education.
In this week's edition, we'll be diving into the human component of ReFi, building upon how the infinite game of ReFi is shifting the paradigm, and as always, we'll be sharing top news, events, and jobs from the ReFi world and beyond. Let's jump right in. ๐

Shifting paradigms with ReFi ๐ ๐
Our current economic system, rooted in the Industrial Revolution, is driven by financial profit maximization above all other measures. This extractive approach is harming people and planet - from widespread environmental degradation to increasing inequality. Recognizing and addressing these issues is crucial for creating a more sustainable and equitable future. To get there we require a shift in our economic values and practices, a shift in collective consciousness...
Collective Consciousness ๐ง
Collective consciousness refers to the shared beliefs, values, attitudes, and knowledge that exist within a particular society or group of people. It is the idea that individuals within a group are connected to one another and that their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are influenced by the collective beliefs and experiences of the group. Collective consciousness plays a significant role in shaping the way we view ourselves and the world around us, and can influence our perceptions, decisions, and actions.
Our collective vision for a regenerative and collaborative economy is not only necessary but also achievable. By shifting our collective consciousness and adopting new paradigms, we can create a more sustainable and equitable future for all, moving towards a new economy that optimizes for lasting positive impact.

New paradigms ๐ญ
New paradigms are emerging that are based on regenerative and collaborative practices. ReFi is at the forefront of this shift, with visions to create organizations that prioritize the well-being of all living systems. Decentralized Autonomous Regenerative Ecosystems? ๐

Thinking in systems ๐ธ
Co-creation, co-existence, and cooperation are at the heart of the ReFi paradigm. As systems thinkers, we begin to see ourselves not as separate individuals but as part of a larger whole.
In 1990, Peter Senge, a systems scientist and a professor of management at MIT, published The Fifth Discipline: The Art and Practice of the Learning Organization. The Fifth Discipline became essential reading for those interested in systems thinking and management. A framework that came out of Senge's work is the iceberg model of systems thinking.
As an example, projects like Digital Gaia are working to ignite a regenerative agricultural revolution from the bottom up, using open science and AI to empower the worldโs 1 billion farmers and land stewards with decentralized tools to measure and monetize their regenerative performance.

Ready for the shift? ๐
We all have a part to play in making our world better, and it starts with becoming conscious system thinkers!
With โinnerโ change work which supports us to; explore our own entanglement in the power-over culture perpetuating these harmful societal structures; cultivate healthier relationships with ourselves, each other and other-than-humans; and to co-create the healthy, transformative, and just cultures our hearts long for.

The latest updates across ReFi Twitter and beyond...
Update on the ReFi Nation State ๐ต
A network of on-the-ground ReFi communities is emerging in full swing. Globally distributed but connected with common culture, ethos, and mission, a ReFi CoordiNation is getting closer day by day ๐๐ฝ
Starting with simple meet-ups and events, successful local nodes will go on to acquire land and other real-world assets.
— Monty Merlin Bryant ๐งโจ (@MontyMerlin) April 18, 2023
The ambition is not to create new borders but to work alongside existing nation-states as an accelerant to a regenerative future

Cities are Schelling Points for talent & capital. This is where we onboard them into #ReFi.
Rural areas are where we deploy capital to protect and regenerate land on-chain w/ #dMRV.

Accelerating Collective Intelligence ๐คฏ
Todayโs world has geometrically increasing inputs and a hyper-connectivity among them. Our ability to process this on our own is often overwhelming.
Talented, motivated individuals should be able to create and grow scalable businesses wherever they choose. To support these efforts, we need to build communities of support and knowledge-sharing. We believe that, through self-organization and democratization, the world can become a better place.
Where ever you come from, whatever your background, there is a place for you in this story.#Regeneration is a symphony. Find your instrument and come join one of the 33 current #ReFi communities across the globe

Biological Systems Engineering
Valley DAO, a Synthetic Biology DAO, launches its token to support and fund Synbio research and development. This brings us closer to a Solarpunk future, where technology harmoniously coexists with nature โ๏ธ.
2/ So why is Synbio so awesome? For starters, it can help us create sustainable and eco-friendly technologies (#ReFi -friendly). Imagine using bacteria to clean up oil spills, or engineering plants to absorb excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. pic.twitter.com/ub5UK9RLw2

Ultragreen Money ๐ฆ๐ณ
Most of us are likely familiar with the ultrasound money meme that Bankless and beyond advocate for. Celo has put out their thesis and actions towards Ultragreen Money. While Celo follows suit in burning a portion of each transaction like Ethereumโs Ultrasound Money, Ultragreen Money will also direct an additional portion of each transaction towards the purchase and retirement of carbon offsets selected through governance by the Celo ecosystem.
๐ฆ๐ณ Announcing Ultragreen Week!
— Celo (@CeloOrg) April 17, 2023
Did you know Earth Day marks Celoโs 3-year mainnet anniversary?
To celebrate, weโre excited to kick-off the official launch of #UltragreenWeek!
Check out the full rundown ๐งตโhttps://t.co/IZwE5HOyJy
Ultragreen Money introduced a refined Celo tokenomics and contributor rewards framework. The Ultragreen Proposal CIP-52 introduces a revised structure for how base fees are utilized in which a portion is burned (similar to Ethereum) and another portion is used to purchase carbon offsets that align with Celoโs commitment to sustainability.

In short, CIP-52 makes it so that every Celo transaction supports climate positive action!

Beyond the Tragedy of the Commons: A Path to Cooperative Coordination by Rob Morris

Traditional, rigid hierarchical institutions are failing us. They incentivise self-interested behaviour, pitting us against each other, and leading to large, seemingly-intractable problems. At the heart of the problem is the tension between collective interest and individual self-interest. This is a problem famously described as "the tragedy of the commons", which proposes that (without coordination) humans sharing a public resource will each act selfishly, depleting that resource.
Read on to find out how Rob Morris thinks we can do better...
Watch this video to learn more about how Daniel Schmachtenberger frames this, and the meta-crisis problem with exquisite clarity in his series, โThe Third Attractorโ
