0. Bounties. Bounties for specific small step goals. Even bounties to define these. I like to vote with time, which we often exchange as money. 1. Open source advocacy on why it matters (in the end, it's because human brains will rely on software more and more, and if we cant self-inspect 'it'... bad things). In the short term, OS distros that make the user experience slick. Custom distros that wrap all the best astro/bio/fea are excellent to show others what is possible and get people involved. 2. Things that give power to individuals. All individuals. Even ones we label to say they are not us. Dont rely on adding laws to accomplish it. Closed source self-driving 'connected' cars being an almost exact opposite. 3. Open source hardware. Really, not just hardware we can hack, but hardware we can replicate. (hard problem) 4. (to make #3 happen) Bounties (which others can chip-in to) for 100% open small scale lithography (a goal at a time; 8088@home) and biological computing (pie in the sky, but will happen, maybe faster than is generally assumed; 22k Rat neurons can pilot a F-22 sim). 5. Promote information sources that make the raw data available.
