Friend and co-conspirator Jordan Greenhall has just begun releasing a series of essays to his Medium blog, unfolding a perspective on the great transition we’re facing as a global civilization, and how we might get through it gracefully. I’ve invited him to cross-post them here to kick off a broader conversation around these topics, which many people have been thinking about and working on for a long time.

I will then outline a practical plan that could enable us to actively make that transition in an elegant bottoms-up fashion (i.e. without requiring any willing participation from existing social and political institutions).

A very good way of framing the transition is a movement from a social system that is fundamentally organized around solving the problems of “scarcity” to a social system that is fundamentally organized around solving the problems of “abundance”.
