Since the beginning of time free thinking can be define as anyone who did not conform to status qua-wherever was social, political or any kind though outside, like Jews refusing to accept Christianity or Islam prescription of the Messiah or political moments from the right or left in19 century. The Blog follows the spirit of Spinoza which challenge not only his own Hebrew roots, but also Christianity with the tolerance of Montaigne. We dedicate this blog to all them were burn for dare to ask.

Microfactory
A decentralize economy, not bases on consumption, described by
Carson in: Home Brew Industrial Revolution (2010), Proundhon and Kropotkin´s in
Fields, Factories and Workshops of Tomorrow, the economy can be consider by
Heying: Brew to Bikes: Portlands Artisan Economy, while this type of economy
where an individual or Guilds drive the economy was overshadow by the
industrial revolution and consumption economy, where mass production and oil.
A main drive for the industrial revolution was to low the price and
have more access to the products, and to achieve was the need to low cost of
the energy, carbon and eventually oil. To facilitate this ends, not only the
energy cost, but introduction of mass productions in farms through
mechanization, migrations from the farms to cities become industrial
production. The other period of a mercantile economy was the driven, in the 19´th
the British Empire, where the access to natural resource, minerals to cheap
organic products, the empire from India, Caribbean and Africa.
In US the Guilder age of the 19 century excesses culminated with the
great depression, the fear of the elite in US at the time, after the Russian Revolutions,
set in place a safeguards against this excess, especially banks they were not
allot to enter into speculation with deposits monies. In 1980´s in the supply
economy of the Regan years, Milton, created myth, the reason the great depression
was not due of the lack safe-guards, but to many. The first meltdown, because
economy is not a sciences, is a pseudo-sciences not different to Astrology or Alchemy,
where in the seal of idealize system, where people behavior can be quantified
avoid to deal with culture, psychology or the irrationality of humans, because
this factors like many other cannot be quantified, at beast economics should be
consider as part psychology. This error, by NAFTA, Clinton years, shifting industrial
based to a service economy, and the Industrial zones in Mexico eventually,
special economic zones in China. The meltdown of 2008, in part, because safe-guards
lift in the 1990´s where the banks allot
to become speculators, a plan was to privatize the social security (similar
Milton approach in Chile, while in the 80´s the retirement was place in private,
the 1980´s market collapse force the later government, to give option to be
public hands, eventually 90% of the population stay in the public, while interest
is less, the security to losing the lifesaving in speculation, prove too be much
for the regular population), when the democratic congress stop this plan, the
only option for the speculators was to appeal the greed, and tool was the uses
of homes as private bank under assumption the value of the houses will be
always up to cover the loans made against the houses, when the funds dry up the
next step, to come to renters and appeal the dream of ownership, of course, not
only the cost of the rent, by house ownership, have other costs, from local
taxes, to interest by the bank, in generally up to 3 years can be deferred, and
circular motion, spiral, when the house market collapse, the interaction cost
jobs in the 4.5 Million households lose. The acceleration of the safe-guard
removal, was after the Soviet experiment failure the elite (specially the human
repression), did not worry for the masses of disfranchised to be able to find
to alternative, but the conflict in Iraq a 1.5 billion Muslims, independent to
the religious conflict, or alienation, Political Islam is a challenge (but like
Soviet experiment, Political Islam is an absolutes, repression, lack of tolerance,
moreover, the sense of superiority by the religion, and religious cleansing and
ethnic cleansing between themselves(Shia and Sunnis), but Christians, Yasmin, Kurd are in the eyesight of process human Genocide).
In 1950´s a small office of procurement in Defense Department used different
computers, but this machines did not spoke with each other, model on 19 century
telegraph idea of a code, for everyone to communicated, ain a1962, supporter by
DARPA, the ARPA protocols while the motivation for this decentralization, was
to be to respond to the Soviet Union, where command control can be any
location. Stalin with the Soviet model, included China today, historical had been
under tyranny, where in China today the Communist Party under an iron fist in
name of harmony, following a historical one individual rule.
Today, like many other unpredicted consequence, the computer
revolution, able to have a decentralize economy a possible and DNA revolution.
In both cases the Soviet Union, in case of DNA, for Ideological reasons, Lysenkoism
challenge Mendelian Genetics, in part consequence due to the NAZIS, ideology
base on Eugenics, and secondly the command economy cannot let free thinking growth,
China today limiting access.
While, the technology is come closed, because human have alter the environment,
out necessity a decentralize energy source, making a cheap energy resource
using solar, wind (http://www.greenoptimistic.com/diy-wind-turbine/#.VPLoGeFNp2A),
hydro, biogas, thermal, wave-energy, artificial leaves, with the 3-D printing
to produce materials for individual needs (Metobics-kicks start: http://www.mebotics.com/),
then economy become artesian (http://opensourceecology.org/), the use RF
technology to track replace the material, using Linux and ARM, computers based
on raspberry, opens source method of production from software, hardware or
product (http://everythingopensource.blogspot.de/).
The Idea of Microfactories was proposed by the Mechanical Engineer
Laboratory (MEL) of Japan in 1990, and today can be expand to electronics,
while still in very early stages the potential, similar to the 1950s internet
protocols, where use for any object based on individual needs, so far a
limitation is metal used, but work is being done to replace by using liquid metals.
In electronics, become close to able to produce customise circuits, the first
3-D cars (local motors-Phoenix Arizona), (a possible design, for a fly car, can
good candidate for Microfactory application: http://www.urbanaero.com/category/x-hawk
or a great science research: http://www.icarusinterstellar.org/projects/project-icarus/)
has been achieved to the point
(individualize clothing to homes: http://www.busyboo.com/2009/04/16/dome-space-homes-solaleya/;
http://tinyhouseblog.com/uncategorized/scaled-solar-for-the-tiny-house-off-grid-on-the-cheap/),
commercialization is open, from homes to every day product, changing, the cost,
where refocus to the economy, the best run microfactory through a cooperatives,
or a collectives, using DYI space, make space (https://party.webmaker.org/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=FFx%26You&utm_content=featured_aug14),
where anyone can use equipment and share responsibility. A industrial ware
house build and modulus space, using recycle materials, or material which not depend
on single costly commodity, and the value can be done an share economy, because
we still living a centralize economy, an slow process can be applied to
transportation, using trains, buses or loop, a hinder of course is cost of the
energy storage, but there possibility, using batteries or transforming the
energy into other material to be used later as energy. By bypassing, land communications
with long range wife creating a networks to create a simple and least costly communication
network (http://www.freedomboxfoundation.org/), from wireless recharging systems
used to any energy need, eliminating power providers.
