So over here is What if women designed the economic protocols for the new economy? And by women we basically mean the others, and people that have been invisibilized, others, disempowered, etc. Why cannot they have their value on their life experience be reflected on code and all the algorithms that may govern our our economic life?

There's a lot to say about about a a commons or how the commons works. But basically, commons has people, rules, and a resource. The rules around it can often be some kind of a governance model. The resource can be all sorts of things. We see a lot of them online, things like Wikipedia, obviously. But there's many many other types. And the people. So in in our case, it's a cooperative.

You know, it's it's it's it's a bit more limited. It tells us again what is the others counted. And the technology, the open value accounting is a way for us to implement these feminist and commerce oriented oriented principles into governance models, which are highly adaptable for and above.

Discos arose from a community of practice, the Guerrilla Media Collective, best known for the commons oriented translation collective Guerrilla translation. The tiniest bit of backstory there in around 2014, the two of us started Guerrilla translation. And we didn't only start a translation collective among the two of us. We always envisioned it as a as a larger group, and it took time to build the group. We wanted to do things, in a very particular way that also included the authors, included the the readership, networked in a different way than just a traditional translation agency, and also provided more opportunities for translators to work if they were activists on subjects that they cared about and to also build an open knowledge commons in the form of pro bono translations for two language specific blogs. The purpose there was to give everyone a chance to to promote their work also, but also promote causes that we all felt aligned with. This grew and we began to also do work that was not translation anymore, but we found ourselves doing some more media related work of other types including design. So out of that came more and more of a focus on how we operated, not just what we did. And that's when we began to refine the model away from simply the the translation and the media collective into disco itself."

We we like writing together. I like footnoting. I like that. And so these seven principles add to the already existing legal structures and constraints that cooperatives and cooperative law changes a lot from legislation to the legislation, but the intent can be reflected on the original principles. But are they being followed through? That's something that we can we can get into. So the seven DISCO principles are additional constraints and guidelines to make sure that you're kind of like walking the talk of what we perceive is the intent and comparatives, which is the commons. Receiving the legal formation of comparatives, we have the act of commoning, which is often legally vernacular. It takes place informally, etcetera. And by commoning, I want to distinguish between commons as envisioned by Ostrom or Analise, and here's our dog, and commons based peer production. In a traditional commons, as per Ostrom's principles, you have clearly defined boundaries. Do you have clearly defined boundaries in Wikipedia apart from linguistics? And what is the Wikimedia Foundation doing about, you know, in requests to data access compared to some of our don't be evil friends like Google, etcetera. So all of these conversations are important, but, again, we think that there is this big confusion between a common space peer production, which is common space, but it's not a common. It's a in fact, it could be a federation of common as we see. So the certain principles."

And Halberian, chief economist of Google, as our colleague Dimitry Glena reminded us and told Google that what we need is lockdown. And what we have is web two point zero and the commodification by capital of web models. And that's attention. And, you know, we think that there's good intentions, but to us, the topology and the ideology of the web is best reflected by cooperative and or nonprofit legal structures. So Wikipedia would be one of the former. It's one of the latter, so we are incorporated as the former, which incidentally, we'll talk about our legal structure later. We're a nonprofit, socially oriented co op, and we're simultaneously setting up a foundation with folks from Mondragon, Tazebay, and other discos and co ops to activate this. So, you know, in the declaration of independence of cyber space, you know, we reroute our own problems. Well, governments have become problems, surveillance has become a problem, the big five, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Apple and Facebook have become big problems. How do we reroute? We create new highways and byways with our own technology, which is transactional. And we look at the legislation. This is not a call to, like, let's just go crypto without economic transactions. We think that is a lot more nuanced and complicated than that. But we can create solidarity networks. Talking about the big boys in Silicon Valley, three years ago, the market cap of of the big five was similar to the annual turnover of cooperatives worldwide. Now with COVID and other things, our friends, Jeff, Bill, and I was running off a bit now, actually have the edge on cooperatives, but we've almost been there. And during economic downturns, normally, cooperatives thrives. During COVID, Silicon Valley has thrived. And, you know, cooperatives haven't done too badly, but we can see those changing tendencies.

I guess you're all familiar with the expression, but it's eating your own dog food, testing software in yourself. This is not just software, but cultural practices, etcetera. We have a good problem, which is we do not have the cognitive capacity and resources to attend to all of the labs, yet at the same time, we like to grow slow. When we try to expand too fast, we miss that care work dimension. And we get back to our relationality, which is based on codes and protocols and algorithms and maybe smart contracts that self execute without human involvement. We don't want that. And what we do want is time, and time has been the greatest thing that has been commodified and accelerated since the industrial revolution and now going into almost singularity like proportions without the luxury automated communism nowadays. So these are the most active labs and, from Gorilla Media Collective to the disco core that we'll talk more about. Corporation of Jackson in Jackson, Mississippi, Laneras who are in our village, multi talented makerspace from Zimbabwe, and from the Basque Country and the OG disco and Jameson. So the seven principles, we'll just go through them. Oops. You know, we'll try and research. No. We won't resize these pictures because it's. But through the magic of highlighting, we will have, like, Superman X-ray eyes. There's no lead in the screen. Maybe there is in the materials, but value based accountability."

I think one of the first kind of pieces that came out in a bunch of these questions was around distinguishing different types of work. So John asked how you distinguish care work from pro bono. Sargon mentioned that, you know, distribution of privilege across management or admin care work might be sort of artificial.

That's actually pretty well distinguished in the, instances that that we've had of running two DISCOs now is that that care work really doesn't have anything in a sense to do with the the the the central focus of the disco. It isn't the productive work at all. So it's it's care work is a lot of the behind the scenes work between the people work, admin work, but also interpersonal relationship management, decision making, maintenance of, of a vibe in a sense of of a common common view. All of the work that goes into making sure we're on the same page where pro bono is we're producing perfect example. We're producing this translation of an author who has not been shared in this language before, and the author doesn't pay for it. We're doing it pro bono to build an audience for the author and an audience for our blog and to to open the conversation on what we think is valuable information that may turn into paid work because we may get a book deal from it. That's what has happened in the past, for example. So pro bono is is is really much more related to the central productive work. Anything to add on that?"

And this is a question that each group has to ask itself, which this call has to have a conversation. We can help you I mean, this is, again, a cliche sentence. There are no answers. There are better questions. We can challenge you with a lot of questions, and we can show you our answers. And they're not the same answers as two years ago or three years ago, even though they have a similar thrust. And that's part of the thing. Again, I wouldn't be qualified as a Marxist, but, you know, when they ask Mars, you know, what does upper class communism look like? It's like, I don't know. As the working class, they have to figure it out. And as operators, we have to figure it out. This code gives you patterns or templates, not blueprints. It has to do with documentation of practices. So, again, to use Haifa as an example, they have a handbook. I think we're all inspired by inspired by Inspiral, which is better than Inspiral. But, yeah, by documenting these practices, one of the projects that we have is, federated disco weeklies, which are not are not federated weekly and the Lord Cunningham thing which is really is really exciting, but actually semantic wikis would signal each other. So say that I'm in one disco, and we have Artem and Ofer and Benedictine and Ofer. We do know Benedictus, and Artem might be the researcher. So imagine that we're writing about, I don't know, let's say, how to cut physical resources and how to put limits on the exploitation of intellectual resources, which may be culturally inappropriate to do so. So we're going to work together on non cultural appropriation license, which is actually like one of the one of the projects we have. We get into a conversation and we devise governance systems together. But if we want to talk, for example, a topic that fascinates me, the tensions between free remix and open culture and cultural appropriation. And we we throw out that it's usually around capitalism and exploitation and enclosure and also much about usage. So we get together on that and then we devise ways of governance and then with that's where the boundaries are established both within your own disco and in the way you you federate. Becoming a disco, we can talk about what it entails, but it's also about modularity and having plug and play economic and also conversant mechanisms to be able to to relate."

Everything is still very much in a an open conversation about how do we how do we get this done? So, that's where we're that's where it's at.

We come from doing things as we come from being impatient and angry and not waiting and just doing things in a in a scrappy way. And again, what if women count it? What if the others count it? Can we just pick up economic design that has not been made by feminists or by people who have similar values to us? We're not that interested. Nothing about us without us. So even if it takes long, we really do want to have some solutions which are more specific to DISCOs and which are tweakable enough for the specificities for the DISCO. Because being a DISCO is the seven principles. Those are seven challenges. How do you answer them? Sure. You can check out how we answer them, how corporation Jackson or multi talented makerspace answers them, but the onus is on you to provide the answers according to your social, economic, environmental, and values based context. And then you tell us about it, and we put it in a, you know, in a place where other people can see it not just as a database or not just as kind of like the fractal components of a of an algorithm, but also as a story. And there's a storytelling component. And really, if we want to break I want to start breaking into the mainstream, if I break the mainstream and create new value systems, relatability is key, and storytelling is key. And some people, hey, this is open source. Great. I cannot understand the code. This is gibberish to me. This happens to many people. Maybe you want a comic book, and that's fine. And we can have fun. And different people learn different things. This does not mean that they're any less, intelligent or able to to contribute to the conversation. So it's a lot about figuring out things together. Again, this is nothing new.

And for particular, I think I said this in the chat about separating constraints from objectives. So, like, in the organizations that I've worked in, really destroying the assumption that sort of a financial production function is an objective and treating it as a constraint really is necessary for interpreting it as a, as a sufficiency because you always have to stay away from that constraint in the sense that your organization breaks down if it doesn't meet its sort of financial sustainability objectives. But, like, if you envision it as a constraint, then sufficiency just comes out naturally. As you get away from the risk of hitting that constraint, the the primary purpose becomes the dominant kind of collective objective function. And I was just kind of curious. On one hand, that's how I deal with this in my organizations, and I've had a lot of success with it, but only at the level of small groups where there's actually a lot of a lot of technical expertise around which we can have this conversation in a very formal way and then agree and then proceed with that. How do you deal with it in a case where maybe the audience doesn't have maybe a formal mathematical optimization background that they can use to anchor the difference between an objective and a constraint?"

        "transcript": "Objection. Yeah. This is probably many of the disco interactions. I mean, in in our groups, again, we we insist in smallness and in relatability, but we have no audience. We consider that as other groups. So to us, it's like more of a mutual bidirectional learning process. And so we can talk to indigenous peoples and maybe they don't have the scientific knowledge, but they may have knowledge that we can go into, like, a scientific understanding of how to do protocols, which actually replicates some of the relationship dynamics, which frankly have been much better for the earth, than what we are what we're currently doing. And it's a process of, like, mutual mutual I mean, we talk about the commons from the point of Western academia. I think that's bullshit because those people who are closer to the commons are usually not in don't usually look like me, and we're not listening to them. So, you know, it's and again, like we say, like this call, it's science, it's magic, it's feminist economics. We like both things. We think that groups have to have to be balanced. How they relate? Again, if it's not an audience, if it's distributed cooperatives, which is of course what we would promote, we have the translation tools to relate. And you can also, like, consider most conflict as, like, ever since translation. We think about that because we're we're translators. So we're kind of, like, giving you, like, don't trust our translation. Here are the tools for you to make your own semantics together. And then those I mean, from ideals and values to language to semantics to code. Call this a language. And it's not a language that everyone can understand. So if you complement with storytelling and if you receive storytelling, you know, things get messy. That's also part of the beauty. Things will get messy anyway, so you might as well work on it."

I think I've been involved in several organizations that's going through this, like, tension in the startup phase where it there's there's also, like, quite a difference between, like, consult consultancy and product companies. With product companies, it's like so front loaded. One is like Meet dot coop. We're building like a cooperative SaaS. So this is also interesting because to operate a service, a digital service rather than building an open source product is quite different. You you need people who are, like, constantly answering emails, supporting. And so it's it's not something that a small group can do. You need a technical team. You need, like, a a a product team and marketing team. And the way that we are trying to address this is to have a lot of small cooperatives contributing labor to support this thing. So so even though we keep the local group small, we can organize, like, bigger scale global projects. But in the beginning, obviously, there's, like, a lot of culture differences that we have to sort through. So, like, that is some of the comments I put here. Early on, the most important thing is really just like let everyone speak evenly and figure out what people want. Then have a have a like, don't talk about anything else. Just talk about how to make decisions. And once something is decided, we stick with it and stop and stop, like, going in all sorts of directions and wasting time having too many, conversations that lead lead to nowhere. So so that's, like, some of the learning for this. Yeah."

And we thought, okay. So DISCO itself, like, these seven principles seem relatively abstract. They're kinda like, more, like, constitutional values. Whereas, of course, like, once we get down to the examples, you know, people do have to implement specific policies in ways they represent them. And we're thinking, like, you know, what kind like, maybe there's a way of designing a policy that kind of, like, is it like the variation between all the different discos you've seen and whether there's a way of maybe using software or finding some sort of, like, parameter, that these all these different sort of, like, examples share in common. But just in general, I just wanna put that out there because I would love to sort of, like, study or interact or just figure out some sort of pattern that all these all these discos share."
