DESCRIPTION:German Chancellor Otto Bismark ushered in the first Welfare State to 
 pre-empt the Socialists; Karl Marx proposed Socialism as the successor 
 state to rampant Capitalism; The Matrix (in Orwellian fashion) anticipated 
 technology would get the better of humanity, trumping both Bismark and Marx 
 once the human worker became wholly redundant except as an electron 
 food-bag for the machines.\n\nIn a one hour critique of both the modern 
 hybrid capitalism of Europe, the USA, and China, AND of the 50 gray shades 
 of socialism, The Commons SF's Dooley Pyunck will carry participants to one 
 short-circuiting alternative to technocracy's usurpation of humanity, 
 namely geo-economics. \n\nGeo-economics proposes the Earth as a 
 commonwealth whilst leaving most all human activity as economically 
 privatable. The outcome, it is argued, leaves enough material security 
 (socially provided through public revenue from earth location rent) to 
 allow a substantial portion of the population to largely opt out of 
 salvation via technology. Writ big, an example of this opt out might be 
 "Preference for living like a beach bum in the tropics sans fusion energy 
 and its consequent unlimited profusion of Amazon deliveries."\n\nThose 
 attending live MUST RSVP in order to be gustatorily sated with a post-hour 
 gratis vegetarian meal. To attend live (and stay for the meal), proof of 
 vaccination must be in hand.\n
