“You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
Buckminster Fuller
The purpose of Autonopedia is to provide practical information to help people build a new model, based on personal and collective autonomy. As E. F. Schumacher pointed out " Small Is Beautiful " and that is the premise that Autonopedia is built upon.
Most of what we require in life can be produced in small communities and locally, with the exception of certain materials and many of these can be recycled from existing items. If humankind is going to survive, there is no choice but to reclaim our autonomy and provide our needs ourselves instead of paying some company to do it for us.
Most people spend their lives working, usually in a job they don't particularly enjoy, just so as to pay bills and to afford to pay others for services that they could do themselves if their lives were not taken over by working to provide profits for someone else.
In other cases there is no choice but to do things oneself or with the local community as happens in many parts of the world where people have very little and get no help from the state etc.
