==== CONTINUING ====
Cooperation - People want to work with each other but with the capitalist mechanism and existing regulatory structures we are limited to two types of cooperation: marriage, or company Ltd. Both may be good for their needs, but the company Ltd. comes with a lot of problems, and it does not represent the individuals in the tribe, it does not know how to take responsibility for them, and all a company Ltd. knows is to take the work and labor of an employee and give him immediate pay for it. For us as individuals it makes it difficult to build connections, relationships, and career or professional development because we are either committed to our business (and with it to board in many cases), or we are employed and must change employer once per period because the employer does not address the changing needs of the employee. And the needs of the employee in the twenty-first century have changed beyond recognition compared to the needs of the employee in the twentieth century in which the mechanism of a company Ltd. has developed and become established.
Economic Sharing - Here too we are confined to a very limited number of ways to have an economic relationship with others - most often it is a limited company and in some cases it is all sorts of weird variations of it in the form of non-profit organization, associations, and all sorts of different and bizarre things tried over the last couple of centuries - some ideas worked better, some less so - but we are left with a very limited lexicon of financial relationships that we could perform as part of a family or as part of a limited company or an organization.
Knowledge sharing - people want to learn and teach each other a different variety of things, some professional, some artistic, some conceptual - where do they share it? Today, wherever I go to express an opinion, I first receive a string of insults about my different thinking - and that is if I managed to overcome the variety of barriers we place on ourselves in the form of bots that prevent each other's posts, in the form of too tight and closed rules that allow nothing except for very specific topics. And knowledge is power, and there are those who understand it, and it may not always be comfortable and correct to share knowledge and information with the general public. Maybe it's even dangerous sometimes.
Growth - It has been said that in order to raise a child we need a tribe, but we in our current culture are moving away from our parents in the name of self-expression - moving away from their cooking, opinions, and criticisms - for better or worse. But as a father I understand that something is very wrong here. Today's parent is required to choose very little from a very wide range, and without intention, without control, without a credible opinion, we degenerate into a cultural mess - in science, on the planet, in philosophy, in our humanity, in everything possible - because we treat ourselves incorrectly, and there is no We to have an opinion that will give us the ability to adapt our perceived selves to the existing reality. The opinion we have comes in the form of Facebook posts, some sponsored and some not - and we have no way of knowing that. And every time an opinion leader becomes popular, his opinions start to play an economic role in their life, leaving us with an interest that hurts us, that exploits our confidence in the opinion leaders we have chosen.
Innovation, purity, Tabula Rasa - we lack a playground where our rules can be defined. Establishing a school is a matter of decades and hundreds of millions of dollars in some cases. A limited company has to meet a wide range of requirements and many times the companies that are set up fail - but we still have to pay for them and the cost of setting them up and maintaining them. A city or a new town is generally an idea that no sane person would even consider as an option, unless of course he has oil fields that yield several million barrels a day.
The Trides we are going to establish are going to give us an answer in the form of whatever is chosen for the needs we are choose to focus on. There will be trides who choose to be democracies, and there will be trides who choose to be dictatorships. There will be those who grow quickly and disappear as fast as they came, and there will be those who will take a lot of time to grow and mature but eventually they will succeed. There will be economic, erotic, pirate, futuristic, outdated trides - and all of these will be Trides.
What is special about trides is that they are what we want them to be. Each and every one of you may choose to belong to one or many trides, or choose not to belong to any tride.
These trides will give us a new tool to work with - a new concept that we will define for ourselves as we see fit. A concept whose job is to be the subject of your message, not to be the message itself (although it will be just that at the beginning of its path).
And with this explanation of what a tride is, what it can be, and what I think can be done with it - I declare the establishment of the first tride: Tride One, pun intended
My Tride will deal with a variety of things that motivate me personally - and some of it will probably be to explain the trides themseves and the tools that trides can use to operate themselves (Bitcoin, crypto, DAOs, programming, and the extended digital world), write and experiment with these tools themselves (hopefully most will be open source so that other trides can use it as well), and of course develop this tride… grow it, build it, and hopefully it will give me personally tools to deal with the not so simple reality of everyday life, and maybe to others who will find interest in the general idea or this specific example.
