I agree with what you're saying.
The system of government is definitely far from perfect.
The reference to it in our manifesto is that we at least see the value of democracy in our attempt to govern ourselves politically, but have made very few strides in that in our attempts to govern our businesses.
I would trust our government much more if it ran all its work transparently on bettermeans, and allowed me to vote, discuss, and comment freely.
Also, "greed" and "corruption" are IMHO not a function of human nature, but a function of poor governance systems that we find ourselves in.
Our entire model is based on an inherit trust in our nature. That given the right circumstances, and a fair, transparent, accountable system we can rise above "greed" and "corruption"

- ericingram 16y agoYou may well be right about the idea that greed and corruption are not natural to humans, you've obviously done a lot more thinking about that side of it than I have and your logic is reasonable. I really like the application you built. I need some more convincing on the model and how it would work, without reading the entire manifesto, do you have a document that explains it in much shorter form? Great job on the design, it LOOKS like you spent about a year on it :)
