Individuals are always the source as long as we have individual minds.
Technology can be used to, without any corruption, aggregate individual voices into group voices of any size desired, and of any privacy required.
When people see what I’ve built they will smack themselves they didn’t also think of it. It is simple and functional, and can act as the foundation of any form of government a population desires.
In fact, I hardly think of it as government anymore. I am using that term in order to be relatable. The system is capable of interfacing with no modifications to existing systems, just optimizations — if people so desire. The difference is, people can modify anything at any time if they don’t like the way something works.
It is nothing short but an across the board optimization of collective resource allocation.
It might sound big or broad. I don’t consider this project particularly ambitious. I’d like to see us starting the construction of a dyson swarm within my lifetime, and becoming a proficient plnetary species. We are technologically capable of this right now utilizing appropriate collective resource management.
Anyway I wrote all this because I was so sick I was delirious, and just wanted to share someone is out there working on this problem with people. Frankly, with the number of toes this system steps on, I don’t feel comfortable involving others. My life has shown me people often lack good intentions that I just thought were the norm. I don’t have much patience for ego or ownership being involved with something that might fundamentally change the planetary operating. I have little capacity remaining beyond writing the system, and if the job is done correctly, it does not currently demand collaboration.
What it does need is people contributing to open source, in the following areas:
- “infinite” scale, high-performance true p2p (WebRTC is currently the only viable transit for this)
- a highly accessible, high performance, all-platform UI system (it needs to be more compelling than any existing system; this one I have been compromising on a bit)
- distributed, message-based, trustless messagning
- distributed, message-based, trustless data store (built on top of the p2p)
I’d say these are probably the most important to make this work.
Any functional mechanism must be absolutely independent of all existing corporate cloud, and have no possibility for existing governments to hijack mechanisms. I have designed systems already that accomplish this, but it would be a lot easier if people passionate in those areas made it and made it correctly.
