By participating here at '''RBEM.org''' I hope RBE extends beyond a sole technocratic take on nowadays problems, and some actual transitional or hybrid RBE projects are implemented in order to test and then refine the RBE further, so it no longer remains just wishful thinking. | By participating here at '''RBEM.org''' I hope RBE extends beyond a sole technocratic take on nowadays problems, and some actual transitional or hybrid RBE projects are implemented in order to test and then refine the RBE further, so it no longer remains just wishful thinking. | ||

The main premise and base of RBEM is to build up abundance for the immanent needs for survival: food and shelter; the rest of the necessities are thought of provided mainly through automation. In a bootstrap process some things may not be provided for at through automation, essentially be scarce or even not be available at all. | The main premise and base of RBEM is to build up abundance for the immanent needs for survival: food and shelter; the rest of the necessities are thought of provided mainly through automation.

The main idea is not to focus on what's not there, but work with the actual resources available (e.g. on-site), and manage the actual needs and demands (see earlier consideration how to determine root needs and demands). | The main idea is not to focus on what's not there, but work with the actual resources available (e.g. on-site), and manage the actual needs and demands (see earlier consideration how to determine root needs and demands). | ||

Instead to demand something which does not exist, he seeks to find material and forms of expression which are readily available, either alternative color, or another material altogether. | Instead to demand something which does not exist, he seeks to find material and forms of expression which are readily available, either alternative color, or another material altogether. | ||
− | + | ===Abundance=== | |
Often there is abundance available, either steadily or cycle, but due the inexperience to recognize it, making it available, it is unused. Following the Permaculture idea, abundance is collected and stored to use for later time, a rather obvious solution, yet in the actual application it is often disregarded. | Often there is abundance available, either steadily or cycle, but due the inexperience to recognize it, making it available, it is unused.

Some Permaculture advocates use heavy machinery to alter the landscape, whereas others closely observe and then decide where which location is used for what - there is not one dogma and teaching telling exactly how to do things, but, as said, a set of principles. | ||
