Dirk Christoph is co-founder of the Paradise Syndicate, a global network focused not on building a better world but the best world we can come up with.
Dirk’s projects include co-creating the world's first Net Positive Village, the world's first Net Positive housing system Refugi.co, and consulting with people, communities and organisations to help them become Net Positive themselves.
In this conversation, Dirk shares how he started out as an engineer in the corporate world in Germany, and how he was always driven by how we could do things differently and better, and could never just accept that ‘this is how it is.’
He then focused on his own start ups, but found that he was too busy, which led him to the question ‘what should I do with my time?’ and that led him to ask ‘what is the ideal?’ and then ‘what does the world need?’
These questions along with deep meditation and reflection led him to come up with the idea of Net Positivity.
Dirk explains that while ‘sustainability’ means sustaining the status quo, for as long as possible, by trying to reduce the negative impact, ideally to zero, Net Positivity is a paradigm shift in our thinking which means creating more Positive than Negative Impact with every action we take.
Dirk explains that Net Positivity is a practice in ‘improving’ that we can do in every single moment by asking ourselves how we can leave things better than how we found them.
Dirk then dives into how we can apply Net Positivity to an economy, and how we can have permanent growth on a finite planet if we focus on a Net Positive Impact, which means that whatever we do makes the world (or any given system) better than it was before.
This paradigm shift in our thinking, he explains, logically does not destroy the planet, nor does it make the world ‘less bad’, but actually inevitably brings us closer and closer to the ideal - paradise on Earth.
He explains that Net Positivity is a reflection of what nature does. Nature naturally has a Net Positive Impact on the environment. It recuperates and regenerates until it reaches its most harmonic state.
Dirk then explains how Refugi.co is the world’s first housing system that not only makes the world better by building each house, but each house is also 10 times more financially abundant than a conventional house, making it a no brainer.
Dirk shares how building the world’s first Net Positive Village in Pátzcuaro, México, is also about creating a blueprint for humanity to follow.
Money, he explains, is not inherently evil, and in a Net Positivity paradigm, money is actually the solution because it is good for you and for the planet, and the source of improvement, abundance, luxury and the ideal.
Dirk’s hypothesis is that all people deep down desire, are motivated by, and drawn to the ideal world.
This is the core reason why people make changes in their lives, he says, and this is the core reason why conscious, awake and aware people are doing the work they are doing - to get closer to our ideal.
Dirk expands by explaining that a system that constantly improves automatically goes towards the ideal, and so the Paradise Syndicate is a global social network for people who are shooting for that ideal and collaborating to create the best possible world.
”Either you go down the path of dystopia or you go down the path of utopia,” he says, “and I know what I’m gonna choose.”
