This 7 minute animation explains how horizontal governance works. We are trying to get this to happen in Ecuador by having all the indigenous nations to make this a single demand. Everyone is sick and tired of corrupted government.

I’ve never met a person who desires to be a leader of a decentralized system. I believe we should imagine a different operating system without leaders and representatives, create parallel structures on local level until this system displaces the current system.
Also we know several people who have done this, and we are building AI to assist. We understand the skepticism and look forward to proving our concept. In fact, if you know a business with over 15 employees that is struggling, we offer our services for free to prove it works in business. With some caveats of course, but we show results.

Our tiny biotech business is disruptive of big pharma and uses blockchain technology. I have been enthusiastically following your posts from the start and, though I’m not sure what would come of it, I would look forward to connecting with you.

This is a very elegant and uplifting vision and I would support it entirely. But to be honest, I can see our Lindsey Brown being quickly smeared, defamed, and defeated at the polls (even assuming they were not fraudulent) by an opponent who is supported by all the corrupt money that's just waiting out there to defeat exactly this kind of initiative.
What would be best though is if a sitting leader did this and proved it worked. It doesn't need to be the President. It could be something like a mayor or county executive. Once the concept is proven it will spread and will be very very hard to stop.
I think so, but if the deception was well managed, I'm not sure. Certainly in my 70 years, I realize only now I've been thoroughly deceived countless times. And I'm not so confident that a sufficient majority would in any case. OR that elections are without fraud anyway. In any case, I really appreciate/admire your efforts and energy in all that you write about.

You can’t tell if the computer has been fixed without using it to see if it can accomplish a task. I didn’t say that corruption is not the most important issue in the world right now. I said you can’t figure out corruption by putting “everything else” aside. We may be arguing semantically past each other.

We have an excellent system badly crippled by corruption. “Where do we start” is a great question. Surrounded, we can now attack the enemy from every direction. One direction loudly calls out “representatives” who mistakenly and arrogantly claim to be “leaders,” makes people aware of the attempted role reversal, and inspires citizens to care and take action. We can adopt and amplify accurate and precise but confrontational language in letters to reps, websites, and local papers. Simply state the truth in the rawest terms possible and repeat, repeat, repeat. Basically, we conscript a radical strategy, modify it with truth, and fight fire with fire.
E.g., the Texas GOP is overwhelmingly opposed to appointing Ds to state committee chairs. Nonetheless, House Speaker Phelan (a traitor) gave his party the middle finger and appointed nine. It’s not inaccurate to label Phelan a traitor, and it’s a fighting word. Maybe Phelan (a traitor) would respond and try to defend his traitorous behavior. He can’t. Better yet, maybe it will wake up and activate the R voters that sent Phelan (a traitor) to Austin and the uncaring representatives who voted Phelan (a traitor) back in as speaker.
This makes me think a bit about all the unicorn companies that come along to soak up all of one form of activity under one room in order to gain maximal scaling benefits. Nobody stops to think about whether or not the costs are socialized (externalities include...freedom...ossification of power inequalities...). Perhaps there is an argument that can be attached to money printing effects, long a curve slanting that, if measured, might show no real gains to humanity.
I love seeing people imagine other ways and systems, that is so necessary
There’s no such thing as “put every other issue aside” until we solve corruption. First, there may always be some corruption. Second, how would we measure that corruption is solved except by the handling of other issues? Hasn’t an evil tool of the current coup been “let’s put every other issue aside until we solve racism”? I had someone tell me in 2020 that fighting racism was more important than fighting mandates and we need to solve racism first
Robin think of it like this. We have a computer that has been corrupted. It isn't running properly at all. And we are sitting around arguing about what programs run better on the corrupted system.
Corruption of the system absolutely needs to be addressed first. In both cases. Us arguing about any hot button issue while the entire system is corrupted is the equivalent of arguing about what computer program runs best on a corrupted computer.
This is the only issue that matters right now. It doesn't need to be totally fixed, but it needs to be under control. Until we do that the other issues don't matter at all.
By deciding to. The corruption is causing (or at the very least exacerbating) most of the the other issues. It is the root cause. At least that is how we see it. We see the system as completely corrupted. So we need a movement and actions focused on stopping that one specific thing. Especially where the representation breaks down in government.
If our computer systems were corrupted and under attack, we would not focus on individual programming. We would focus on the root systemic cause and then work to prevent it.
As Naval Ravikant likes to say "A good system should be able to be turned over to your enemies and still not be corruptible."
The tyranny of the masses is always the problem when the people have the say. But it is no worse than the tyranny of the few. The major difference is that tyranny is the goal of the few, so the people at least can reverse course.

It shouldn't be someone who desires to do it. It should be someone we nominate.
We would get better representation by random drawing from a jury pool than we are getting under the current system.

Would you be able to see through this? We would.

We might be. We agree on the problem and that is the start of finding solutions.

Did I mention that Phelan is a traitor?
I believe you did, yes. lol
I approve this message.

I’d like to know how you can separate corruption from any other issue right now. It’s the water we swim in, I think we agree

We will vote for free money!
That's why the Constitution still needs to be in place. And the courts. Just minus the corruption.
That's the test. Rule of law or rules made up as society changes its feelings.
The tyranny of the masses is always the problem when the people have the say. But it is no worse than the tyranny of the few. The major difference is that tyranny is the goal of the few, so the people at least can reverse course.
You say this as if we are not bleeding free money to people who didn't vote for it. People like Ukraine, corporations, big Pharma, and more.
