This is an interesting audio clip posted by Own Mitchell at Soundcloud (I've not seen this tool before, looks useful) - it's a talk by P2P thought-leader Michel Bauwens from the Sydney Evolver event.

Peer-to-Peer as Ethics, Intersubjectivity, Spirituality and Social Change Project

Sydney Evolver is delighted to present a talk by the dean of the Peer-To-Peer movement, Michel Bauwens.

About the talk

The internet has re-introduced and facilitated the re-emergence of peer to peer social relationships which is having a profound transformative effect on existing society. In this discussion, we will focus on what ethics and spirituality underlie p2p trends, how open practices and infrastructures are changing society, and what image of a future civilization is implicit in it.
