Over these past years since TROM has become a thing, I’ve come across many groups of people or just individual people who claim to be aligned with what TROM is, and they contacted me several times over the years to try and explain that to me. I’ve heard about groups who want to intelligently manage the Earth’s resources and provide for everyone, groups who were all about promoting self sustainable technology, and those who only proposed renewable energy; people who were saying that becoming vegan is the way to go about changing the world, groups who were against money and those who were pro cryptocurrencies. Gift economies, different currencies, meritocracies, or ‘true’ democracies.
Many many ideas. A planet of them. But what I think is lacking amongst these groups is a clear vision of what it is that we want, because we all seem to want a better world for everyone and to get rid of the problems we see today: war, violence, poverty, and so on.
A simple, but powerful message.
