A New Commonwealth — Ver 5.0
The Memory Bank claims to be about making a more effective Commonwealth. So far I haven’t been very explicit about what that might mean. At the very least it means exploring the idea of what we have in common. And this short animation makes an excellent job of outlining what is involved.
The two great memory banks are language and money. Exchange of meanings through language and of objects through money are now converging in a single network of communication, the internet.
We must learn how to use this digital revolution to advance the human conversation about a better world. Our political task is to make a world society fit for all humanity.
