Awesome share, Steve. Thanks! The fundamental issues with our current systems of finance, education, governance and labor have made themselves largely apparent, but it is only through circumventing those systems in local communities that we may discover and build better systems that may one day take hold.
I believe coworking communities can be places where people can test out new forms of commerce and value exchange between one another. Over time, our communities can help so ensure the adoption of the better systems we need to progress as a race. In other words... if you're just trying to run a workspace, you're missing out on a huge opportunity to help enact lasting social change that might be brewing right under your nose.
