Sustainable customization, an economic system

The purpose of this website is to document several projects that promote a sustainable economic system, based on customization. Unless stated otherwise, the author of the content in this website is https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1564-9606. Soon, most content in timepiece.pubpub.org from the same author will appear in this website.

Capital, knowledge and customization are all abstractions. But customization is an abstraction about using abstractions within any economic system. Customization is any economic activity that uses abstractions (such as previous knowledge which depends on idealized assumptions). Like Bayesian probability theory does not favor a Bayesian prior, economic activities using abstractions should be independent from the underlying economic system, because an economic system is an abstraction itself. This implies that customization is a great abstraction for any economic activity, and provides a solid foundation to define an economic system.

Note that both climate activists and passive people mostly claim that dramatic changes are needed to the present economic systems, to make them sustainable. The only difference is that the activists defend such dramatic changes, while the passive people reject such dramatic changes. In contrast, we defend that only minor (but relevant) changes are required, and that these changes are unavoidable. Unsustainable customization, really is unsustainable no matter what. Those who are informed about these changes before they happen, have a relevant advantage with respect to the remaining society. This justifies the existence of this website.
