๐Ÿ”ฎ What is a marble?

In my world, a marble is a metaphorical container for a note that I want to share and shape with you. It can be a sketchy idea, an insight, a piece of knowledge, or a question that I consider valuable for my life's ongoing dialogue.

These marbles are never perfect and always a snapshot of a given moment. So, please, feel free to add your perspective at the โฌ‡๏ธ bottom of the page. I try to follow the ๐Ÿ”ฎ principles for media movement building.

Read more about my intentions in ๐Ÿ”ฎ this marble.

In the past, I didn't have a way to share ideas or insights with others. This marbles website is the manifestation of my desire to share intentionally with the world. If you want to do it too, let me know. I can help you.

Visualizing money stealing and hoarding in capitalist economies

These drawings serve as visual concepts for my project to develop visual metaphors for systems understanding. They are concepts and have room for improvement.

Under slavery, enslaved people work and the value they create goes to a slave master. Under feudalism, the serfs work and the value they create goes to a feudal lord. Under capitalism, the employees work, and the value they create goes to the CEOs and shareholders, or anyone who owns the business.
