DESCRIPTION:THE CORRECT TIME OF THIS PROGRAM IS 6-7 PM\n\nAttend a of discussion a 
 social philosophy that upends conventional notions of socialism and 
 capitalism. \n\nWorld football (or most any game) is about controlling the 
 field . . . with speed, dexterity (with both feet), and intention. It's 
 about full-on competition, capitalizing on opportunities made and 
 surrendered. It's not about claiming part of the field as off-limits to the 
 opposition; instead, it's about opening the field to any other ensemble to 
 dominate the space based on speed, dexterity, and intention. \n\nWorld 
 football is a worthy metaphor for justice in this respect: you have to 
 prove yourself every game. The trophy gets lifted when you've again and 
 again won the field by "paying the price" of practice and conditioning. 
 \n\nFormidable justice is the sort that includes every soul getting its 
 time on the field. In this case, the field is planet Earth. Formidable 
 justice is no one getting to say parts of "the field" are off-limits to 
 others (without due compensation for the forsworn opportunity to use it). 
 Formidable justice is getting to use parts of the Earth because you've paid 
 the value of that part to the rest of humanity it doesn't occupy. That 
 value isn't a one-time thing (the way most folks conceive say, reparations 
 to be a one-time). The value of the Earth to humanity is what people, 
 aggregately, will give up/sacrifice in order to secure use of it year after 
 year. You can measure that sacrifice in rent paid, blood spilled, or 
 resilience to being held in opprobrium. \n\nIn a one hour give-and-take 
 presentation, The Commons SF will expand on the World football metaphor to 
 introduce a perspective that simultaneously reconciles the best impulses of 
 socialism and capitalism, and deep-sixes the worst outcomes of conventional 
 socialism and capitalism. \n\n"If there's something better [in social 
 structures] than what there is now, it will necessarily not be more of what 
 we have now." --Dalck Teblehei \n\n
