About this listen
Money is a language, and a form of magic. In Icon Magic we present an alternative language to money in which we can express the interactions of a replication economy instead of a consumption economy.
We aim to create a philosophical language for describing the things we wish to replicate from trash. If we represent any "thing" in the most abstract sense with a self-replicating(both in physical and digital media) icon using the language of Geometron, we can then represent any collection of "things" as a collection of these icons. To make a replication economy which replaces the monetary economy we then carefully construct these sets in whatever way eases this replication process the most.
At the end I also discuss how the system has evolved over the last year and why I believe we're much closer to being able to make this work and scaling it up now to a year ago. I'll be posting links to the updated versions of the software mentioned here soon, under "iconmagic".
