The Society of the Night is a form of "Festivalist" self-organization of people living at night,
using the same urban infrastructure as "The Society of the Spectacle" living during the day.
 
It is a parallel society, with its own festivalist economy.
 
==Sharing==
 
The Society of the Night can optimize the use of existing resources, housing, university buildings, streets, ... by being active at night, and sleeping during the day.
 
===Housing===
 
Agreements can be made with allies still living during the day,
as to use their living infrastructure to sleep, while they are at work in the Society of the Spectacle.
 
===Transportation===
 
====Cycling====
 
As there are less cars at night, it is ideal for cycling.
 
====Public Transportation====
 
As the society of the night grows, it can obtain more political influence,
and support the operation of public transportation at night
 
===Energy===
 
Often, the use of electricity at night is half the cost then during the day.
 
 
 
==Festivalism==
 
By David Boje at http://cbae.nmsu.edu/%7Edboje/papers/Festivalism_at_Work.html
 
"Festival is the self-management and self-design of our own leisure time and space, the realization of what we need to live and evolve as a species, with the most minimal harm to any other species. Festival is a way of doing business that respects people, communities, and the ecology. Festival balances stakeholder interests in the future generation (stakeholders include workers, managers, owners, investors, customers, local communities, future generations, and the ecosystem)."

==Ahimsa, Non-Conflictuality, and Usership==
 
Instead of "taking over" infrastructures,
a progressive non-conflictual approach,
through mutual agreement with allies active in the society of the day,
enables the use of the infrastructures in control of "The Society of the Spectacle"
without entering into conflict,
 
possibly even creating synergies,
by "using" these infrastructures at a moment where they are under-used.
