Hi Nate;
Helped a friend move his Art Studio this weekend, and he had gotten 5 people from TimeDollar to commit to helping, and noone showed up. At risk of inviting the comments of those who would chide that only a fool will put their faith in others as we come into this transition.. I do put a lot of faith into others, and try to be as reliable FOR others as I can.

Anyway, my request is for discussions about the practical successes and failures of social networking systems. A friend in Co-Housing just left the community she helped to found, near Oakland.. having burned out on the endless meetings, the endless needs-lists, and probably a few key difficult personalities..

'If it was easy, everyone would do it..'

Friends help you move. Good friends help you move bodies.

Hi Nate; Thanks for throwing this out there. I think the human interaction dimension is the most difficult element to successfully transit the energy/population power down. I think a lot of us here in the oildrum tribe (including myself)have been brushed with an individualistic modus operand um brush. I would like to see open discussion on retraining and skill development in human interaction skills-particularly transformational leadership.
