It makes everything good that you try and do suspect and hard to promote.
Start to publish lists of questions that you think worthy of answers like how to improve your system
Accept that your system may be an early and eventually to go extinct system when you put out calls for ideas on better systems.
If you have a list of questions you may receive answers that already offer substantial improvement over the present state that can be actioned immediately.
I have been following for some time and all I see is vapor ware.
Have a look at what OneSmallTown is working on, they have plans that have lofty goals but perhaps not enough brain power to iron out the kinks, they might be able to benefit from your systems and viceversa.
There are two systems controlling everything right now - government and business. It might be easier to create a new kind of business. A transparent swarm run one. We think this idea is very marketable. And it is where we have the most experience with collective intelligence running a system. If we can make a new kind of business network, that network can fix governments.
Appreciate your insights. Will check out One Smalll Town too.
In Germany there was a movement I was told about of ethical corporations that did not seek profit as the prime directive. They had issues with corporate law that says the goal of companies with share holders is to MAXIMISE returns for the share holders. This was some years (5) back and have not heard anything since.
I think the best would be to find some niche activities that are amenable to local control and find ways to bootstrap one or two and then if they are more profitable run as a collective instead of a globalist tax dodge it could fund a new instance and so grow. Local High Speed WiFi internet could be a low barrier to entry and could possibly provide an enabling environment to other network free communication tools that can circumvent the censorship and surveillance. However they must be Open Source so any NSA (etc) demands to be given access to network backbones MUST be visible and prevented by having all the trunking infrastructure in individual node hands with just financial management in the cooperative control.
The next thing would be any sites with local wind or solar generation to buy out the systems and operate them locally for local use first and buy and sell electricity to the larger grid where possible. Finding that one application that can store nearly free energy oversupply on a small scale (container size or village size) to use and store or sell 'energy' will be a key need. For instance is electricity can be used to make methanol from the air it could be sold to industry or used to drive peaking power plants for the community. At this point any CHEAP renewable become valuable even if they are intermittent.
The more individuals and communities are self sufficient in terms of water, food, energy and land rights the better the future of humanity will be.
Your thinking is right here. AI might not be the best way to sell the story. But we have shifted gears a little. We are trying to start a business swarm. Where a bunch of investors invest in a business and we run it as a swarm of owners. We also swarm the employees and the customers. We are making the whole business transparent and giving it a code, all run on collective intelligence.
We are testing the software again in a few days. It is rudimentary still and we are working out bugs.
The OneSmallTown concept has similar flavors. I love the idea but in Finland the regulatory (tax and bureaucracy) would make it very hard to do the OST concept at this time.
I like the business idea too. However for maximum benefit you want to have the ownership LOCAL or have two classes of business with local and remote investors. The OST has investment in TIME and payment in crypto which is a bit of a warning in general though it may well be very well intentioned in their case.
Nihilism isn’t the best answer here if you care about outcomes and results. Optimism is a better path. It is possible to have systems that nurture humanity and get better results. And the changes we need to make are fairly simple ones.
You may be right but we do need systems and the choices are limited. Either fix or replace with something better that makes the old bad systems redundant. Simply destroying them will not gain a rational following for your ideas as people do want and rely on systems even if you dream of a world where everything is available by magic.
I read part one, makes good points. My issue is that eliminating the current system abruptly is risky, it is also a very hard sell to others who want a system to be in place. I think his ideas have a lot of merit but may need tuning. The core tenet that government does not serve the people is true and needs fixing. I think taking as many steps in that direction as possible using all options available is the best. In the end we may approach a system more like Voluntary democracy but perhaps not exactly the same.
I think change is long overdue and will be happening if the Trump Kennedy Kheriaty gang can get censorship turned off.

Also we are working on videos to show people more out the ideas now that they are fleshed out with tangible goals.

Fix them? I think they should be destroyed.

We need systems. You rely on them everyday. We all do. We just need ones more resilient against corruption. And ones that get results.

Have you read Iain Davis’ articles on voluntary democracy? Well worth consideration. Parts 2 and 3 are linked at the end of part 1

Can you summarize in a few sentence?
I couldn’t do it justice in a few sentences. Make a cuppa tea and sit in a comfortable chair and read it through if you’re interested…

I will read part 2 and three later.
