[p2p-research] [p2p energy economy] p2p - Systems Modeling - How to Talk about Anything p2p with Anyone

[marc fawzi]

I know the word "peer" is very powerful.

To me, the word "peer" (and more specifically "peer to peer") immediately
references "equal empowerment" (as in eliminating inequities, and I hope not
"equality" as in eliminating differences)

I think that's something people can understand.

To boil it down to pictures and popular meme we need to identify the _power
words_ and spend time tying all such _power words_  to specific definitions.
