What are your thoughts about running individual nation states and even the entire world as a DAO (Decentralized autonomous organization)?
This will effectively eliminate politicians as decision makers altogether (no Parliament, No government) with the only mechanism needed is a very trim and highly efficient layer of public servants whose only role is to execute the decisions of the DAO to the letter and nothing else (they have no discretion. They are essentially automatons).
Even that layer will be the absolute minimum with the humans only performing tasks that cannot absolutely be done by a smart contract.
We went to Eth Denver to the Network State convention. Network States are digital countries that are being run as DAOs. These are critical but they have a problem that Collective Intelligence solves:
Namely, editing the DAO.
We have a new theory:
Network states (and governments and businesses) can be run with DAOs (smart contracts for those new to the terminology) but the DAO acts as the laws, and the justice department. However, how are laws written?
This is awesome and eerily similar to an idea I was pursuing a few months ago. I'd be happy to send you my very incomplete whitepaper if you have a public email address. I'm not sure I have the time or intellectual capacity to develop it fully on my own but there may be some nuggets you can use if interested.
Amazingly, I did think of YOU this very morning and wondered why you had not posted lately: I see you and your co-thinkers have been very busy working on the Questions and Answers and the concept of the human Swarm intelligence: I want to wish you a very HAPPY NEW YEAR 2024. I will not write a post on Substack for New Year's, instead I will read others. I posted a personal note on my Uptown L.A Blog. I still just Praise the Lord and seek answers from the The WORD. ttyl, Josh and have a New Year filled with the answers that you seek: I heard 8 balls are on sale half price at Target. HO HO HO. yes I still do have sense of humor; Best 2024 Isabell
Interesting, but the capitalist class needs to be neutered, so that social production can be employed. What else, given capitalism, as an economic system, is finished?
Capitalism isn’t the problem. The correct identification of the problem is : corruption, and lack of demand for transparent businesses and governments and all systems. If a system isn’t transparent, we should not trust it.
WOW. so KarlM alias said the capitalist class needs to be eliminated? I was going to just go on my merry way; I am sure that those who feel that a whole group of people like half the world including China biggest capitalists in the world or those who have studied history realize that there is no such thing as a "capitalist class" which not comprised of HUMAN BEINGS. so should I draw the conclusion that KarlM is saying HUMAN BEINGS NEED to be eliminated? My scientific and logic .. well.. that is how I got that to that conclusion. Phone ringing.. Happy New Year.. again. yes. You are right but you had to know that would be the response.. wonder how he affords a computer?.. later. Isabell
Neutered does not mean eliminated. If you read the referenced blog (https://techno-society.com/), you will see how wrong you are to say I think, 'HUMAN BEINGS NEED to be eliminated'.
There can be no discussion about “capitalism” or “democracy” without defining your meaning, since everyone takes liberty in the definitions and uses them to suit.
Would you rather give your money to Jeff Bezos at Amazon?
Or to a corporation that was completely transparent and run by a swarm which included the employees? One where you as the customer could see everything? How much our employees made, how much we made, and what we did with those profits?
Ethical capitalism is possible. Think of it from the consumer side. Transparency is the key, and most business owners won’t get their egos out of the way to do this. But this is not merely. a hypothetical. We have seen it work in businesses.
If you run a business you don’t have to believe us. You can try it and see.
Maybe, or maybe capitalism has run its course. You can see nothing better, but I bet the people living in Feudal times thought the same thing. Until feudalism was replaced, that is.
It has been unsuccessful due to a number of reasons. The technology at the time was not advanced enough. Only a few isolated countries tried 'socialism' - it cannot work that way. More or less the whole world needs to switch, as has always happened in previous economic system changes.
Anyway, you can have social production, or as outlined in https://techno-society.com/, part social production without people having to live in some lockstep dystopian nightmare. I want EVERBODY to have a say in how society operates, and all decisions made, but people don't seem to like that idea. I wonder why?
Go start a communist company. Nothing is stopping you. That is the beauty of the free market. You would think there should be at least one success story by now.
Huh? Communism always has a centralized and thus corruptible central government.
America was decentralized for the time. The system is corrupted again, so we need to decentralize it further and make our systems harder to corrupt.
We are building a digital version of this. So come try to prove it wrong with us. It’s like a flight simulator. A digital direct democracy.
It is the way out of this corruption. Decentralized systems are harder to corrupt. So are transparent ones.
VERY interesting concept. Love it!

With collective intelligence systems.

Lol Happy New Year! You are too funny!

If a business is transparent they are forced to follow the 5 pillars of ethical business like we wrote about here:

Or, we can take over capitalism with swarms.

A free market with a transparent and decentralized system is the answer.
uh huh..
Yeah we all know how successful Communism/Socialism is. Hard to believe there are this many Utopians that still exist...but they do---for now.
In what way is this communism socialism? This is direct democracy but instead of voting we are using a swarm. A way to solve problems in large groups
