I could have made this a traditional, printed book, but that approach wouldn’t fit the mission. Here’s why this compendium is designed as an online, living resource rather than a static, physical book:
1. Collaboration Over Isolation
A physical book is the product of one or a few voices. But moving society beyond wage slavery requires the collective wisdom of a global community. By making this an online book, we’ve created a platform where anyone can contribute, critique, and enhance the ideas presented. It’s not just a book—it’s a collaborative tool for change.
2. Real-Time Updates
The world changes fast, and so do the challenges we face. A physical book is frozen in time, but an online book evolves. When new insights, data, or success stories emerge, we can integrate them immediately. This ensures that the book remains relevant, timely, and actionable.
3. Accessibility for All
Printing physical books costs money, and not everyone can afford to buy them. By keeping this book online and in the public domain, it’s accessible to anyone with an internet connection. The goal is to democratize knowledge, not gatekeep it behind a paywall.
4. Infinite Space for Exploration
A physical book has a finite number of pages; an online book doesn’t. This means there’s room for every idea, every perspective, and every potential solution. We can expand endlessly without the limitations of binding and print.
🤘A word of Caution though: We have to avoid falling into one of the idiocies which we warn against, which is complicating something so much that it defeats the purpose and becomes a problem in itself to understand, interpret and implement.
5. Community Engagement
This book isn’t just something you read—it’s something you build with us. As an online resource, it allows for comments, discussions, and debates. Readers can directly engage with the content, improving it for everyone else. Try doing that with a paperback!
6. Experimenting with New Mediums
An online book allows us to integrate multimedia elements—videos, interactive charts, and more. These tools can bring ideas to life in ways that words on paper simply cannot.
7. For the Long Game
A physical book eventually gets shelved and forgotten. But an online book can live forever. It’s not a one-time project; it’s a perpetual work in progress, designed to serve humanity for generations.
By keeping this book online, we’re embracing the ethos of the very change we’re advocating – collaborative, accessible, and forward-thinking. This isn’t just about reading—it’s about participating, contributing, and building something bigger than ourselves.
So, let’s start writing.
