That is great to hear, @loundy, I am delighted.
Some time ago I have decided that I am content with a different role for Humane Tech Community. After we started out with the same ambition as the CHT of “triggering a cultural awakening” which came with a lot of ‘problem-awareness’ raising, the last reorganization was of HTC becoming mainly solution-oriented, and hence set out on a path of positivity and optimism from there. But with the analogy of “Building the Pyramids of Humane Technology” it was still having a grand (if not huge) vision.
I’ve posted a number of times of the “barrier to action” that exist in many people and ways to overcome it, but as community lead I continue to fall into ‘the trap’ that whenever I want to start some real activity, I also become the primary person responsible to keep the ball rolling, take the initiative, and invest most of the time in the new project. The Humanetech Translation Program is the latest example of that, where my enthusiasm for this - indeed wonderful - idea, makes me responsible for rallying all volunteers, being the motivator. If things go slow in pace, in this attention-scarce society, people move on again.
In 2021 I will spend time in thinking, together with the community, about a repositioning of HTC. Probably this is along more modest lines. The translation program might be central in this, and other than that I am considering HTC as more of a neat knowledge archive of solutions, where people ‘dump’ interesting resources, maybe discuss them, other people (lurkers, maybe) find value in reading about this. And maybe in the future we’ll ‘mine’ the archive and do ‘pyramid design’ - i.e. elaborating the field of humane technology - but not neccessarily do the pyramid building itself. Leave that to other, better positioned groups.
