"Just a conjecture.
When the last original care givers of a place leave that place, all that is usually left is the fight to control the place and its legacy.The infrastructure of a city is just like the infrastructure of a house. It decays and replacement parts become obsolete and expensive.
It is only because those curatorial custodians are dedicated to the care of places and loyal to people attached to a place that some places are made to persist.
The people dedicated to the cause of preserving something may maintain funds for the care of important people in that community.
But generally not for the technology or infrastructure and environment of that space’s age.
Unless a replacement is prepared and a fair and equitable transition built in.
Theme Park.
I wish I still had a red elephant key from the zoo. And one of those boxes, cause the tech is obsolete.There’s a whole bunch of super cool stuff to know about running a theme park as an element in an educational institution. One of them is you might need to have your own infrastructure, as long as you can keep it up and comply with a bunch of regulations.
The thing that got me was the ride ticket. It was universal. You paid to get in the park and you paid to get on the rides, and there were rules on everything.
Except the places to sit and learn. Because that’s why people should be there. To learn the free and cultural preservation stuff. Right?
To the world outside we run on a completely service and craft oriented ecosystem, because we run on a completely service and craft oriented ecosystem.
The answer is yes, but it will cost you. Except when we mean No! And when we mean No! That’s that."
The opening statement in the first draft of "Pixelated Park." The 16 page stream of consciousness manifesto that we are employing as framework for a Community Land Trust.
Community Land Trust built on a "Trustless infrastructure"
We're supposed to use this as the foundation for a Community Land Trust.
Transitions in technologies are disruptive.
I am very much aware that I now live in a world in which one can no longer effectively and honestly believing, tell a child, “ You can’t do that, cause...”
Anything other than, “...cause I say so.”
And technologically, Like our ancestors before use with their electricity and radios, automobiles and suburbs were disruptive to their social construct.
So, is the chaos we’re fucking with now. Happens all the damned time.
But this time, let’s clean up after our ancestors, preserving some things, but truly intending to give today’s youth some cool toys to learn with, good tools to work with and a healing planet to live on.
What I mean to say is, technologies exist in the open over the counter market that the vast majority of people can’t even ponder.
What we need are the terms for a pleasant transit out of an old way of life into a new way of living.
I like theme parks dedicated to the preservation of historic cultural pathways.
Or for some people antique and obsolete technologies.
The young people, they get it.
