Several years ago The Society of Problem Solvers set out on a mission to try and identify the biggest problem facing humanity.
One problem in particular seemed to stand out. That problem was fixing the corruption in the systems that govern our lives like we wrote about HERE. We believe that systems are the most important determining factor for quality of life on this planet. So if we could solve for better systems, we could change a lot.
Humanity as a whole is a much better place when our systems are trustworthy. Right now, systems of government, media, food, academia, medicine, and even science have lost the trust of the people. If we use metrics to judge our systems – which we should –nearly all of our current systems are seeing unsatisfactory results.
Humans can be amazing when the systems that govern over us are trustworthy. We can collaborate at jaw-droppingly high levels. But the opposite is also true.
This is why we need to build a new system. A different kind of one. A decentralized one. A transparent one. And above all - a trustworthy one. We need a system where our epistemology starts with problems, and then we try to solve those problems from the bottom up in highly aligned groups with the proper technology in place to assist us. Not a system of voting or consensus, but rather a system of problem solving.
We have a about $15,000 donated into trying make this a reality, and another $5000 in Bitcoin will be donated to the pool to control as a swarm once the system is built. But, we realized that this system is going to cost a lot to build. If we don’t build it using crowd sourcing, and instead we seek investors, it will automatically have more potential to become corrupted. So we want to at least put the idea out to the public to see if anyone wants to help us build this place - a digital high trust problem solving platform called LEADLERLESS.
Welcome to Leaderless. We are unlike any nonprofit organization on Earth.
We are a decentralized and radically transparent charity run 100% by you -- the donors.
What is humanity’s biggest problem? Our current systems are no longer trustworthy, and thus we are having trouble problem solving in groups. To fix this trust issue we need new, fully transparent, decentralized high-trust systems that start with the epistemology of problems, and then help aggregate groups of people working on solutions together in the most optimized way known to man - a way most people have never heard of before - called Human Swarm Intelligence systems.
Sound interesting? Help us problem solve for our corrupted systems. If we solve that we solve everything else. A call to action and to learn more, HERE
Thanks for reading!
Coming soon: SwarmAcademy.ai LeaderlessSociety.org
As always the entire purpose of The Society of Problem Solvers is to connect with other solutions-minded results-driven people like yourself!
Thank you to all of the writers that make this possible. We are always accepting guest writers, so if you have an idea for a solution, please reach out. Let’s solve it all, together.
For over 3 billion years on this planet there were only single-celled organisms. Then one day they somehow learned to work together and make complex multi-celled creatures . Right now we are like those single-celled organisms. Our next evolution is finding how to work together, better… (like we wrote about here).

COMMENTS ARE FOR EVERYONE AS A PLACE TO THINK-TANK SOLUTIONS. They will never be for paid-only subscribers and we will never charge a subscription.
Interesting idea that should definitely be explored further in my opinion.
However, I have two specific concerns:
1. TIME to reach a consensus. Using a "human swarm" for decision making can be lengthy. What do we do if decisions need to be made quickly?
2. COST to reach a consensus. Using the Bitcoin blockchain for gathering "human swarms" may be quite expensive, even on the lightning network.
I also have concerns about redundancy. What happens if the Internet is down or is very slow?
Finally, it appears our enemy is also using the swarms system. Is that where you got the idea from?

Funding of operating costs and ownership of infrastructure have been and will remain key points that need to be resolved.
Digress: Some famous marketing guru held a lecture to a packed auditorium. He said humanity was smart. They had developed mass production (through automation and ingenuity) and this meant that there was cheap goods, the problem shifted to distribution so humanity developed mass distribution (FedEx, container ships, rail networks) and the bottle neck to unlimited wealth for the capitalists shifted again to needing to grow their markets so humanity developed MASS MARKETING (adverts, referrals, entertainment media plugs, propaganda) and this has brought us to where we are today. The consumer is merely a variable in converting raw materials using capital into more capital.
Currently the internet user is the product of the capitalist system and until this balance is shifted every attempt to make systems to rival governments, server farms and social media platforms WILL FAIL for lack of money.
The only way to have a system that MIGHT SURVIVE is if it is PROFITABLE for the end user, otherwise it is a COST to the end user, either in a subscription or loss of their data.
I have proposed in a few places a few times the only mechanism that I can think of that might be possible to achieve this goal. The key idea is to reverse the power relationship in advertising. Make the manufacturer the petitioner.
A platform, social media first with governing features running parallel. Run on any server, eventually on private servers and not amazon or google farms. Managed with ROBUST and SIMPLE tools and applications/software that are 100% opensource. Users either pay a subscription equal to the cost of the storage/bandwidth/CPU cycles they consume ($1-100/month) OR they are guests and are fed curated adverts and network propaganda (positive propaganda but still) OR they accept to do work that will improve income. The primary work will be curating adverts, products and producers. They will rate adverts on truth (safe), taste (skin), bigotry (sexist), manipulation (weasel words) and a dozen other metrix. The network will charge the advertiser for the criticism at high rates enough to pay for the users to use the system. Those who are in a positive balance can filter their adverts using any metric that they want. They may say only honest adverts for well made products from honest companies with no ties to BlackRock or WEF or tax evasion are displayed. This means if you see an advert if is not something a manufacturer wants you to see, it is in fact a advert that YOU want to see.
Added to this rating of companies would then be company board directors and CEOs and such. Followed by investors and then media personalities, public figures and political leaders. The idea is that we could say that we do not want to see any adverts from companies with ties to B&MG or Nestle and eventually we would have a dataset that is a social credit rating used AGAINST the ELITE instead of AGAINST the PEOPLE.
A additional service that would then filter a tiny bit of money to distributed federated servers would be the use of this data set to provide information to users who want to add a fact filter to their browser or phone. If a news report shows up and the tag Reuters is included it will have a flashing red warning. If the name Fauci is in the article it will carry a warning. Basically it would be a tool curated by the people that would flag almost every fact check site as a propaganda outlet. Subscribing to this tool could cost any user a dollar or two per month and the federated network would then pay those who do the fact collection enough to keep their servers running.
If you cannot fund your revolution it will FAIL.
I think I will have to make a post about this (gonna copy this text) on my substack because I have repeated myself many times.
