introduction to world wide elves

Greetings!

I call myself elf Pavlik. I have started world wide elves project as a direct consequence of my search for a solution to global problems caused by, and existing in, human civilization. In the process of this search I have realized that majority of these problems, relate directly or indirectly to us building our social relations around the concept known as "money". After this realization I started looking for alternative ways of organizing our social life. Having over 10 years of experience with computers and information technology, I found that tools and technology available nowadays give us great possibilities to create those new ways. I decided to give my ideas a "reality check" by starting the world wide elves project and by implementing them in practice.

Goodbye money, welcome life

On I definitely stopped participating in money exchange. This means:

1. I have no money and I don't want to have any
2. I DO NOT accept any money
3. I DO NOT offer any money

I still want to participate in social life, it just can't involve me using money. At this moment this constraint significantly limits my possibilities. By working on world wide elves project I want to:

• create opportunities for myself to have a flourishing social life without using money
• create equal opportunity for everyone else interested
• help in solving global problems that we face as humanity

Why elves?

I decided on using the elven theme for two major reasons. The first reason relates to the tradition of elves as beings living very close to nature. I think that many present ecological problems have their source in people not seeing themselves as an integral part of the ecosystem as a whole. The second reason relates to the idea of Christmas elves who work with an enthusiasm that comes out of their own passion. Some people associate work with money so strongly, that when I say that I don't want to have or use money, they get impression that I may not want to work. The example of Christmas elves often helps to correct this misunderstanding.

One can think of elves as beings who work out of their passion and live in harmony with the rest of nature.

Next step

In the near future I will make the project open to everyone interested in joining and starting establishing elven web of trust.

my principles

autonomy

I declare myself a fully autonomous conscious being acting out of my free will.

nationality

I consider myself a resident of planet Earth and have no interest nor willingness to identify myself with any artificial structure as country.

nature

I will live in harmony with the rest of the environment, consider myself an integral part of it and respect all living beings.

I will respect every other person's free will and never try to impose anything on anyone.

In the case of someone trying to impose something on me, I will simply not interact with such a person.

non violence

I will not use violence towards any other person under any circumstances.

In case of someone else acting violently in my presence, I can still use physical force just to safely restrain the offender. In such case I will always attempt verbal negotiations first and warn what I will do.

I will learn safe, non violent restraining techniques from experienced martial artists.

representing

I will only represent myself and have dialog with other people who represent themselves.

If one doesn't represent oneself but just some institution, organization or any other artificial structure, I have no interest nor willingness to get into dialog with such person.

One can still represent oneself as a part of some structure, but not the structure itself.

money-free

I will NOT participate in money exchange under any circumstances.

identity

I will manage my own identity myself, using globally unique identifier: perpetual-tripper@wwelves.org

I have no interest nor willingness to use any other form of identity.

I will make all my biometric information publicly available, in my open internet profile, once I have it in standardized open format of my choice

open profile

I will cultivate my open internet profile and keep it publicly available at: http://wwelves.org/perpetual-tripper

I will only claim ownership over objects that I have created, or other person claimed to own and passed this ownership onto me.

I will NEVER claim ownership over land, natural resources or any living being.
