Renaissance Florence Italy

## 1400-1600

Pandemic - Social collapse - Change of power-structures

The world was in crisis. The Black death pandemic took a high toll on the popoluation and social structures,

"The Renaissance was a period in European history marking the transition from the Middle Ages to modernity and covering the 15th and 16th centuries. It occurred after the Crisis of the Late Middle Ages and was associated with great social change."

This shifts gave space led to the Renaissance.

For the Renaissance to happen depended on various key factors including the social and civic peculiarities of Florence at the time, A mega Pandemic (The Black Plague) which apart from strategy, brought a new consciousness to the people; its political structure, the patronage of its dominant family, the Medici, a banking family and later ducal ruling house, that patronized and stimulated the arts.; The "Open-source" mentality of libraries at that time had a big influence of creating a culture around these new expressions of humanism.

New society structures can only rise when the power structure shift dramatically. Which in the middle age Europe Renaissance the power structure was Religion, through the Church. And the process to another power-structure and social system was called the rebirth, since people were seeing the human and it's role in society and the world in a different way. Because of the Black Plague killing 30-60% of Europe's population. People shifted their consciousness about death and therefore life, and the role religion played in it. State and Church were separated and gave way to a new era.

##2020 - 2030

Pandemic - Social collapse - Change of power-structures

We find ourselves in a time where there are new structure is rising, people are becoming more conscious about life again, and the power-stuctures that rule our daily lives are questioned. Designs and theories and applications about new social contracts are being created. New value exchange systems are becoming more important, and with it an independence of a central point of control for trading currencies.

Re-evaluation about the role of humans, with each-other and nature and the world and in the universe. In the same time the established power structures are shifting and fighting for control. The plurality about available knowledge and censorship is coming to light. It's hectic times in which huge voids in our infrastructures are forming since the ones we used are not serving the purpose of free and conscious humankind any more.

It's time for another power structure separation, this time it's not religion that through the Church is holding power over European citizens. In our age the power structure is Money and executed and controlled by Banks. This Renaissance might well be about separating State from Money and on Global Level.

New and open infrastructures are already being created, in eco-chambers and in babysteps, some more adult like Bitcoin and next Ethereum, DAO and RadicalXChange. These infrastructures are build on other principles than power. It is the opposite, decentralisation and by design can not be controlled by a single entity company, state or especially Bank. These are examples of new social contracts, agreements that we make to each-other to change society.

At this moment the power structures and their infrastructures are moving and collapsing fast, and we create the Renaissance Circle to accelerate the creation of these new open infrastructures to reach a massive adoptions in society.

The void that need to be filled in infrastructures are numerous, and if we can create these as open infrastructures that serves humans to be conscious and free we will need to accelerate as much as we can.
