The Modern World is Not a Place for

Butterflies

But there's a problem. We have fractured these urban networks, and rebuilt much more

dispersed, dendritic systems, connected not by pedestrians, but by automobiles,

dispersed suburban campuses and parks, and single-family monocultures, supplemented

by telephones and now, computers. The majority of us lives in encapsulated houses, in

encapsulated neighborhoods, and travel in encapsulated cars to encapsulated work

places, stores and other destinations. -Michael Mehaffy

Has humanity entered an everlasting stage of encapsulation, like pupae never entering the stadium ofa butterfly, free and full of colors? We know what happen with a pupa not leaving its pupae; it driesout, missing its higher purpose of life. Well,I'm sad to say I think this is what our societies havebecome today. Probably even more in Norway, as we are more encapsulated because of our climate.

Our modern lives as encapsulated pupae

Why did this happen? Of course,because of ideology, withLe Corbusier as a main inspirational. It's a

sad truth, butfor modernist ideology to survive it needs to cut all bounds between people, nature and

tradition. What is left is technocracy, a shallow, false and withered replacement of true community.

The Scandinavian welfare state is a good (sad) example.

By suppressing local particularities and turning distinctions and differences into injusticesinclusiveness suppresses self-organization, and therefore social spontaneity and

voluntary initiatives of all kinds.

Ordinary people cant act effectively unless local discretion is widely diffused and the

informal good sense of the people is accepted as a generally sound basis for action.

Inclusiveness rejects both. If theres significant loca l discretion inequalities will result, and

the informal good sense of the people is shot through with settled prejudgmentsthat

is, with prejudices.

For that reason inclusiveness requires suppression of local initiative and self-rule. Those

things are unjust from the standpoint of social justice in any event. If I do something that

benefits brother Bob, thats unfair because cousin Dick and uncle Harry get left out. More

generally, informal arrangements like mutual assistance based on local networks and

moral codes make the benefits of social life depend on group membership. Thats

obviously unjust, so such arrangements must be destroyed.

Thats one reason schools teach children to throw off parental, communal, and religious

authority. Those authorities arent based on liberal principles, and they lead to particular

local connections that dont benefit everyone equally. Its also one reason

antidiscrimination laws force institutions to treat the attack on traditional and natural

authorities as part of their reason for being. (If they dont insist on their total commitment

to celebration of diversity, theyre likely to get sued.)

The natural result of such policies is degradation of functional communities and families.

Our rulers view that as a good thing. It eliminates competitors to the liberal state, frees

individuals from traditional bonds that are understood as irrational and discriminatory, and

clears the ground for a truly rational and just ordering of society. -James Kalb

Yes,I'm encapsulated into the straitjackets of the welfare state and the liberal market, so I don't need

anyone anymore, and nobody needs me. The networks of old times are gone,community is replaced

by experts. Local initiatives and self-rule is ruled out. This in spite of that every natural system is self-

organized, and real science, not the quasi-science of the liberalist state, states this.

Within this promising field, no topic is likely more promising than self-organization the

ability of complex adaptive systems to grow, order, and organize all by themselves,

without any master controller. We observe this phenomenon at work in complex termite

colonies that lack architects and blueprints, in biological cells organizing and

differentiating into organs without any additional controls, and as we now see, in the very

processes that gave rise to life itself. -Michael Mehaffy and Nikos Salingaros

Tallin old town in real life, the true beauty of a morphological process! Photo: Iifar

A system that is not self-organized is not resilient;it cannot be whole and is heading for collapse. A

state that tries to organize its citizens,not helping the citizens to organize themselves, is tyrannical,not biological and organic. It's NOT permaculture! I think we here see the main reason why the world's

governments are so reluctant to incorporate permaculture, they will lose their power and their

ideologies will lose their glory. They will hate to see you free from their encapsulating threads,

revealing yourself in all your hidden colors,dancing in the air like a butterfly. For the corporate welfare

state this is the worst of their nightmares come true.

The dependency on a welfare state has taken away the responsibility the single person

felt for his nearby community. This is no defense for liberalism, which only replaces the

welfare state with dependency on private institutions performing the same services, but

where you in addition is bound to a rats race. Responsibility and community must be

organically if it shall not develop into a passive and mechanistic relationship betweenstate and citizens. -A. Viken

A nightmare? Photo:Bresson Thomas

My skills and experienceas a facilitator, as a trainer, as a legal professional and as

someone linking different communities and movementswere all targeted in this case,

with the state trying to depict me as a brainwasher and as a mastermind of mayhem,

violence and destruction. . . . It is clear that the skills that make us strong,the alternatives

that reduce our reliance on their systems[emphasis added] and prefigure a new world,

are the very things that they are most afraid of. -Leah Henderson

While the main purpose of the welfare state is to implement dogmas like "inclusiveness" and "comfort",

the highest of all liberalistic dogmas is largely left for the market. This is fulfillment of desire. Gifts have

not a place in a world of desire, not the gifts from theshopping mall, but gifts of dependence. To be

dependent is after all not such a bad thing.

Community is nearly impossible in a highly monetized society like our own. That is be-

cause community is woven from gifts, which is ultimately why poor people often have

stronger communities than rich people. If you are financially independent, then you really

dont depend on your neighborsor indeed on any specific personfor anything. You

can just pay someone to do it, or pay someone else to do it.

In former times, people depended for all of lifes necessities and pleasures on people

they knew personally. If you alienated the local blacksmith, brewer, or doctor, there was

no replacement. Your quality of life would be much lower. If you alienated your neighbors

then you might not have help if you sprained your ankle during harvest season, or if your

barn burnt down. Community was not an add-on to life, it was a way of life. Today, withonly slight exaggeration, we could say we dont need anyone. I dont need the farmer who

grew my foodI can pay someone else to do it. I dont need the mechanic who fixed my

car. I dont need the trucker who brought my shoes to the store. I dont need any of the

people who produced any of the things I use. I need someone to do their jobs, but not the

unique individual people. They are replaceable and, by the same token, so am I.

That is one reason for the universally recognized superficiality of most social gatherings.How authentic can it be, when the unconscious knowledge, I dont need you, lurks

under the surface? When we get together to consumefood, drink, or entertainmentdo

we really draw on the gifts of anyone present? Anyone can consume. Intimacy comes

from co-creation, not co-consumption, as anyone in a band can tell you, and it is different

from liking or disliking someone. But in a monetized society, our creativity happens in

specialized domains, for money.

To forge community then, we must do more than simply get people together. While that is

a start, soon we get tired of just talking, and we want to do something, to create some-

thing. It is a very tepid community indeed, when the only need being met is the need to air

opinions and feel that we are right, that we get it, and isnt it too bad that other peopledont hey, I know! Lets col lect each others email addresses and start a listserv!

Community is woven from gifts. Un like todays market system, whose built-in scarcity

compels competition in which more for me is less for you, in a gift economy the opposite

holds. Because people in gift culture pass on their surplus rather than accumulating it,

your good fortune is my good fortune: more for you is more for me. Wealth circulates,

gravitating toward the greatest need. In a gift community, people know that their gifts will

eventually come back to them, albeit often in a new form. Such a community might be

called a circle of the gift.

Fortunately, the monetization of life has reached its peak in our time, and is beginning along and permanent receding (of which economic recession is an aspect). Both out of

desire and necessity, we are poised at a critical moment of opportunity to reclaim gift cul-

ture, and therefore to build true community. The reclamation is part of a larger shift of

human consciousness, a larger reunion with nature, earth, each other, and lost parts of

ourselves. Our alienation from gift culture is an aberration and our independence an illu-

sion. We are not actually independent or financially secure we are just as dependent

as before, only on strangers and impersonal institutions, and, as we are likely to soon dis-

cover, these institutions are quite fragile. Charles Eisenstein

To free ourselves from our encapsulations, our hard and dry pupae capsular,we need to get rid of the

corporate welfare state and the liberal market. I'm sorry,we have no choice. Of course, this will be a

hard process, as our pupae capsular have grown thick and resistant. Leaving the "technologies of

death" behind, the dead capsular,entering the technology of life. What is awaiting us isa world of

connections, gifts, self-organization, true communities and relationships,love and life. The world of a

butterfly!
