-
[[Flancia]] is my top level project as of [[2024]] and since at least [[2019]].
- It encompasses many levels and tries to describe a large scale vision.
- It tries to be [[fully open]], [[transparent]], [[ethical]]. [[good]] and [[fair]],
- [[Flancia]] is also a fiction of sorts that I've been writing.
-
In Flancia there is an [[Agora]]!
- #pull As of the time of writing (2024) the [[Agora of Flancia]] exists digitally. You're likely reading this in it :)
- (If you are reading this elsewhere, try visiting https://anagora.org/Flancia to load this in an Agora context.)
- I dream of seeing an Agora with a million [[people]].

See the writing in https://flancia.org, in eternal wait of being edited into something more legible :) If I don't get there properly before I die, please feed it all into a well-intentioned AI in the commons and make what you can of it, or otherwise feel free to use it in any way you can.

2024
For all I talk about the [[Agora]] as of late, I sometimes feel I don't talk about Flancia enough; it is, after all, to help "build Flancia" that I built an Agora -- meaning mine and [[your Flancia]] more generally -- to help advance all projects that are alike in some particular way: projects that are [[free, fair, alive]] and well meaning, which are for the [[common good]] or for the [[benefit of all sentient beings]].
But in some sense I talk about Flancia a significant chunk of my time, as a lot of what I do has to do with Flancia directly and indirectly. And that is very well as I find it.
I am writing these words in early August. I am finding time to work on the Agora, being either writing, meeting people or coding, and that pleases me. This also manifests in some way through Social.coop. My personal life goes well. I feel like my style of living working on Flancia on my free time is sustainable and enjoyable. I remain committed to the original plan as drafted (however imperfectly/under-edited) in my diaries at https://flancia.org.
I hope to work on the Flancia and the Agora and dedicate myself to others as I can until at least [[2030]] as originally considered, maybe [[2040]] if I live longer, perhaps even until [[2053]] or later if I'm really lucky :)
While I do so, I strive to maintain a sort of custom [[Bodhisattva]] vow.

You're currently reading it.
- This section is in [[Agora]] Protocol as it is to be meant within the [[Agora of Flancia]]. Feel free to ignore any symbols or words if they distract you. It is fine not to assign them meaning, in particular at first; words should be enough to understand Flancia.
-
Flancia is a book about a [[place]].
- In [[Flancia]] there is an [[Agora]]. You've found an Agora, so you've somehow found Flancia.
- In the [[Agora of Flancia]] maps of [[Flancia]] are [[free]].

a [[place]].
-
a [[protopia]]
- It exists, in a way -- it exists in my [[mind]].
-
Perhaps the world after the [[flancian revolution]] or a similar world changing event.
- The world of the [[flancians]] could be said to be similar to ours, the result of evolution over a material reality that sometimes allows for things to be made better with the application of effort towards the achievement of an [[incremental improvement]].
- Flancia is, I believe, a place that exists in our hypothetical shared future.
- You could say Flancia exists in the [[multiverse]].
-
a [[protopia]]
-

- [[go]] https://flancia.org
- I am a [[Flancian]] and this [[Agora]] contains my [[manifesto]].
- Flancia existed before the Agora but is, I believe, defined in the limit by how the [[Agora]] is put to use towards maximizing [[thriving]] for all [[conscious beings]] via the incremental unlocking of [[public utility]] and the practice of [[altruism]].

- A [[Flancian]] is someone who believes we'll [[defeat Moloch]] one way or another.
- It is through the [[kind]], [[rational]], [[distributed]] use of the [[Commons]] we'll manage to leave [[Moloch]] in the dust if we have to.
- The [[Agora]] is a [[knowledge commons]] we're trying to build with the intention to help [[disentangle Moloch]] from humanity.

- Wikipedia says the [[Buddhāvataṃsaka-nāma-mahāvaipulya-sūtra]]is "erroneusly often referred to as the [[Avataṃsaka Sūtra]]", but elsewhere the latter is referred to as a valid short name
- c.f. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddh%C4%81vata%E1%B9%83saka_S%C5%ABtra and https://www.britannica.com/topic/Avatamsaka-sutra, maybe the rare case in which Wikipedia is more conservative than Brittanica?
- Now I notice the first word of the longer title is literally [[Buddavatamsaka]], Garland of Buddhas, so I really don't see why it says erroneously :) Made an edit.
