10:15:07 From William Schmick To Everyone : What’s going on right now, Green Party, parents association between 3 schools, traffic management, uniform water and tree management, the secondary school needs to expand so they are taking down trees so they can build more buildings for classrooms, but then that has impacts on the other schools around them, they’ve already felled trees on their own, so we are trying to get more cooperation between the schools so that everyone can be accommodated—looking for win-win-win as opposed to just go behind the school and cut down trees on your own or perhaps encouraging people to walk to school when its so close
10:15:56 From William Schmick To Everyone : Trying to meet base social obligations in order to try to reduce the environmental impact—-collaborative aspect—exciting, challenging, new
10:18:08 From William Schmick To Everyone : Collaboration is tricky due to red tape bureaucracy— like parents can’t call principles of other schools—-or the principles don’t have responsibility to those parents—-but either way the cooperation needs to happen. Everyone is so busy, life takes over
10:19:14 From William Schmick To Everyone : It’s often what’s right in front of us, there will always be something, and it seems to be a human thing that we just get taken up with whats coming up at us right now and the bigger picture gets lost in the (moment) (mayhem) (momentum)
10:21:20 From William Schmick To Everyone : Pandemic forced people to be aware of the world around them, not just the bubble world that they live in, they actually had to reconsider what the hell they were doing with their life before...all that speed stopped and people were forced to reckon with who they actually are—-couldn’t distract themselves with endless activity anymore—forced to “live in the place where they live,” lots of people want back to normal, others think it was nuts, i was running and running and running and getting no where, what do i really want out of my life?

10:25:56 From William Schmick To Everyone : Cultural loss of community time
10:27:27 From William Schmick To Everyone : We have deprioritized “us” and how do we re-prioritize us? Where did we go? Now there’s a sense of individual pressure to own a place of the community, not the community to own a place within the invidual
10:28:12 From William Schmick To Everyone : Move people away from private transport. Bring jobs to the community, provide the ability to walk or cycle to decent public transport, basic income
10:28:43 From William Schmick To Everyone : Nearest thing to a magic bullet, allows people to live decently but frugally, not rewarding people to not work its rewarding people to spend on more than survival

10:49:31 From William Schmick To Everyone : Non-profit around art in the community, showcasing many cultures, three artists and get them to do installations around different areas in the community, art tends to deliver sensitive messages of transition or change in a way that “gets us all to stop and think and admire”
10:50:55 From William Schmick To Everyone : “It’s about the sense of community, the underlying narrative we’ve identified within economics and society, we are coming to a perfect stop in Paradigm shifts...Game A vs. Game B theory, meta modernism, postmodernism has been underpinning our culture, says that nothing is new, whereas modernism was the “tradition of the new” formed by a narrative a governmental transitions and shifts.
10:51:42 From William Schmick To Everyone : Post-modernism is why alternative facts exist, truth does not, and dwells in the broken narrative of the western tradition
10:51:48 From William Schmick To Everyone : Metamodernism seeks to do something about it
10:54:22 From William Schmick To Everyone : Starting to shift the underlying programming in society, if you couple that with the 500 year cycle, with the reformation there was an emergence of individual thought that has gone to such an extreme that suggests that unquantifiable or non-dollar-able items don’t exist, we need to upgrade the system because there are things that are beyond dollar value, and the consumerist system after World War II ensured that we’d be economically dependent, and that globalization brought us closer to peace but also to exploitation, and that consumerism is now destroying the planet, and then there’s a generational cycle that has no business in maintaining the status quo, and they aren’t dependent on the financial system and that’s frightening to that future of that system
10:55:41 From William Schmick To Everyone : The millennial reason are the first generation that didn’t believe the lies, the baby boomers are about to die which will be the biggest wealth transition in centuries, and the cynicism defining the collective conscience is now being replaced by a reaction towards the “new” again

11:13:20 From Cristina Coffey To Everyone : People are becoming trapped in their work… living from pay check to pay check … not too far off from slavery

11:34:51 From William Schmick To Everyone : List of institutions: religious, schools, marriage, neighborhoods, cities, authority, government....economy?
11:35:45 From William Schmick To Everyone : Yet the economy is not made up of people...its made up of behavior...what about the others? Are they defined by their individual natures or by their functions outwardly in society?

11:50:04 From William Schmick To Everyone : Strength in numbers
11:50:57 From William Schmick To Everyone : Is community something to be attained or something to aspire towards? What is that thing bigger than yourself? Is it a promise for a better future? Is it an emotional connection or reaction?
11:51:41 From William Schmick To Everyone : Is it something that is fundamentally lost and never to be truly found? Constantly build and work on it? Like relationships?
11:52:49 From William Schmick To Everyone : Dynamtics of community: emerge in clicks not unlike in a school yard, local football club, closed, exclusivity,
11:53:11 From William Schmick To Everyone : Churches used to be community building
