New Culture
"The now dying culture was founded on the premise that human beings are ferocious feral beasts that need to be socialized, i.e. de-clawed and un-teethed. The now culture knows that exactly the reverse is true, that the “mass of men” are fragile, easily discouraged, and even walled off from their own deep desires."
New Work seeks to build a network of New Work Communities, each complete with fully equipped community centers, housing developments, village-wide infrastructures, community, self-providing activities, and decentralized manufacturing centers.
New Work can also organize small groups to band together to employ high tech self-providing techniques while organizing a co-operative business venture based on New Work Technologies.
New Work provides the conceptual framework needed so that that a comprehensive strategic approach is able to achieve economically independent communities.
