A Book for Aspiring Eutopians

Transition / Eutopia Greenprint Open-Source Beta Version 01

Personal and interpersonal quality time

Is valued as much as work is valued*. We are civilisation, we are the Ting218, we are Eutopia, we are ‘the universe experiencing itself’, therefore quality time to nurture ourselves and each other (as well as maintenance/repair of our property, things and neighbourhoods) will be prioritised and supported via GloWS or UBS budgets and infrastructure (i.e., therapy, health facilities, green spaces, libraries, cuddly rabbit centres etc.) Greater community integration to support quality time will be a natural byproduct of localising the most basic resources. 

Being present for children is perhaps our most fundamental hope of achieving our long-term goals – creating healthy, secure Eutopians. The highest of all priorities is time afforded to primary carers to carry and hold their babies104.

Quality time includes informal and formal meetings to imagine and negotiate the world we want.


*The South American Ye’kuana tribe(104) have no word for work. By reducing the expectations of productivity, limiting the discomfort of work (or how long anyone should have to endure uncomfortable/dangerous work), and allowing ourselves autonomy and choice, we may begin to differentiate less between work and play.

Please try using the (efficient) ‘Six Thinking Hats’ method of parallel thinking for sharing your ideas.
It helps us to organise our thoughts and feelings. Wear the Black Hat for critisism/doubts; the Green hat for creative suggestions; the Yellow for positive responses, Red for gut feelings; White for information. I am wearing the Blue Hat now, when I say we are here to design Eutopia.

Simply write ‘Black’, ‘Yellow’, ‘Green’, etc, before your given response. Then, start a new paragraph for ideas of a different coloured hat.
