Tools for Transformation
Social Systems Lab designs, protypes and deploys tools for human thriving. Our ultimate goal is a new Operating System for Human Civilisation allowing us to take the next step as a species.
What that step is? We don't rightly know. But we do know it to be taken take together if taken at all.
We believe in humanity and that if given the chance to fully nurture, explore and express our true nature as a social and collaborative species we could be a pretty decent curator to the living system that is our planet.
What we do
Why we do it
Our vision is a world where all humans have the freedom and resources grow and explore their own potential so that they in turn can contribute to their communities and to humanity.
Our mission is to make this happen.
The Circles Platform
Our flagship project, Circles, is an open-source platform designed with the Changemakers of the world in mind. More than just another social networking tool with an angle, Circles looks at what a beneficial community building tool might actually be like without the constraints the advertising based model invariably leads to.More than being open-source and collaborative by design, Circles is based on a geographical interface, allowing users to find projects, events, people and opportunities both locally and globally. In addition to this, we are integrating a full spectrum of governance tools for bottom up decision making as well as a project management suite to help individuals and communities get the jobs done that they need to get done.
Please reach out if you'd like a sneak preview!
Features:
- Geobased interface.
- End-user controlled experience.
- Open-source and advertising-free.
The Altruistic Wallet
The Altruistic wallet is a wallet that can only be used on someone else. Originally envisioned as a decentralised way of reinvesting the surplus raised on the Circles platform, the concept has grown into a stand alone project.More than monetary funds, the Altruistic Wallet can contain other offers, such as time for volunteering or even physical resources that a person might want to lend or donate. The Altruistic Wallet is designed to integrate with as many systems and platforms as possible to have serious and transformative impact.
In addition, the Altruistic Wallet is probably our best option for establishing a global identity based on local community validation. In an era where trust will be tested like never before, a secure digital identity we control ourselves and is verified by our networks might well be come the passport of tomorrow.
Features:
- Provides continuous crowdfunding of community projects .
- Builds identity through contributon and community.
- Paving the path towards custodial capitalism.
