About Ariadne Systems
Ariadne Systems is (in process of forming) a mutual-benefit nonprofit corporation that provides its members with options for ecologically harmonious and economically rewarding lifestyles.
The idea is to create a kind of "general automation corporation" that provides goods and services as efficiently as possible rather than maximizing profit. We provide these basic goods and services to the members for a monthly rate, and that monthly rate should decrease over time.
We hope to provide:
- Healthy and abundant food
- Fabric, fiber, and clothing
- Health care (nutrition to insurance?)
- Energy
- Comms (Internet, Phone)
- Digital infrastructure
- Construction materials, tools, and machinery
- Nice homes and other buildings
Since we're just starting out it will take time to get to the point where we are giving out homes. But we have a few benefits already, such as a seed library and a tropical tree hothouse.
So how do we make it happen?
We produce food, fiber, timber, etc. using regenerative methods, and we build simple automation to reduce labor. As a concrete goal, we hope to offer residency memberships that include housing, food and water, energy, climate control, and even some clothing and simple medicines for a low monthly membership fee.
Is it possible? I believe so. Not only that, but this monthly fee should go down as time goes on and our systems become even more efficient and productive.
For members that already have their own homes and land we will provide the materials, tools, and know-how to create their own regenerative systems.
