1) INTRODUCTION – RED
Hello Simon,
Thank you for this opportunity to introduce myself to you and to describe how I might put my shoulder to the wheel to help create a superior future to the one that is looming.
And please excuse me if this tape is less than professional. My forte is not in delivering speeches. I hope you will see that my forte lies elsewhere – in my ability to recognize the elements necessary to break free of the vicious Top-Down structures under which Mankind is currently struggling, and how to replace them with more humane Bottom-Up structures. What you are about to hear is truly revolutionary – but without the blood. In large measure it is a fulfillment of the potential of the Internet. It can transform the way men and women associate on this planet. And most critically it can undo the death grip in which the Powers that Shouldn’t Be currently hold us.
I have developed a method to revitalize the Democratic Process. (It is actually a solution to what academics call the Democratic Trilemma.) It is an Internet-based system which in the long run can remake society as a whole, and in the short run it can be extremely profitable as a business model.
I envisioned the basics in 2008 as a system that would work in theory as an alternative to – or just a way to improve – current Representative Democracies. It was an interesting hypothesis… but my problem was that there was no way to just snap my fingers and replace the existing systems of Government, or even to get to the point of being able to improve them. It was a workable, but untested theory; that was all – I could envision no way of testing it. However when I learned about Crowdfunding – I realized that this was the easy entrance into Society that I had been searching for.
Imagine the offspring of a marriage between a Facebook and a Kickstarter…. This baby will have all the features and capabilities of its parents, but it brings in a whole new generation of features all its own. What I have created is an exciting new way for people to get together – not just to chat but to get things done under banners of their own choosing.
As a Social Network, it will attract people who are more interested in getting things done – rather than just talking endlessly about them. There will be as many Chat Rooms as there are subjects of interest to the members. And people will be able to engage in open chatting – but there will be another echelon once they have pretty much covered the subject and their threads start leading off to nowhere.
It seems that once an open discussion starts to degrade into name-calling on any thread, it’s a pretty obvious clue that folks have settled in to their positions, and further chatting beyond that point is counter-productive. So, at that point, or at any point that the folks in a Chat Room wish, they can agree on a questionnaire which will help them to define themselves relative to the important aspects of the subject at hand. They all are aligned on the same basic goal, they are just in disagreement on how to get there. This system seeks to constantly increase Agreement. The results of the questionnaire will allow them to assign themselves to small groups of 8 according to their agreements – not their disagreements. The purpose here is to break the large more heterogeneous group into small harmonious groups of 8. Then our baby coordinates these groups of 8 into a geometric progression which can accommodate thousands – if not millions – in associating, deliberating, and reaching Accords about how to handle their common causes. This is where the marriage occurs, and the parents Platforms of Social Networking and Crowdfunding overlap. Discussion continues but with the purpose of creating and funding a Business Plan.
I have named our baby, CauseFunding.
The platform will still invite standard Crowdfunding, but CauseFunding will be the star. And of all the worthy causes out there, the first and most critical Cause which we must all recognize – is to safeguard the Internet itself. Without the Internet, I see no hope.
But right now there is hope! There are a little over 3 billion Internet users. If we could interest just 1% of them to get on board to protect the Internet – that would be 30 million people! And I think that you will be among those who can imagine a New World Order put in place and directed by those of us who champion Individual Sovereignty – rather than those who seek personal empires of Force and Control. (In this quest – no politicians need apply!
In describing this innovation I wish to emulate your methods of presentation. One thing I admire about you is your grasp of history. I enjoy reading your articles when you reach back to ancient times to cast a rhetorical base to explain and bolster your points. The way you easily relate your current topic by drawing on the past makes reading your newsletter a pleasure. I too would like to offer an historical basis for the big picture which we are currently living. But I would like to do a variation on your method. First I would like to paint a picture of the future as I see it should nothing evolutionary take place in Society. Then I would like to reach back to Neolithic times to frame a quick explanation of why we have reached our current situation – and why it will play out into my prognosticated future, absent a dramatic change.
2) OUR FUTURE & PAST – GREEN
First let’s talk about that future…. Imagine the fate of the common man and woman once governments further conglomerate and share all the information they have gathered. This is a future where government would have the technological ability to obtain the Stasi’s goal, “To know everything.” From the time someone is a child, government will know every message they ever sent or received, any phone conversation they ever had, their family’s history, and every other person they have ever met or been in contact with – and everything about them too. And not only will they be able to amass all this information about everyone, they will also be able to efficiently crunch the data. This, as a goal is really not surprising; it’s just an extension of their tagging every other piece of livestock on their planetary ranch. Like all good managers, they strive for a complete inventory of the chattel they own.
Unless we do something, the future will be of the nightmares predicted by Ayn Rand and George Orwell. The hobnailed boot of government will constantly be on the neck of society in general, and specifically smashing in the faces of those who resist. The invisible Elite and their conspicuous henchmen will be able to crunch the numbers on all of us, and reach out and touch anyone they consider a risk to their continuing rule. The horrors of Control presented in such movies as The Lives of Others, will once again be fact – but 100 times more intrusive and efficient because of the amount of data they will have, and their advanced ability to crunch it in real time.
The marketplace will be completely under their control. All money, all transactions, all pay, and all savings, will be monitored and ultimately controlled by the Government. The toadies, lickspittle’s, and collaborators will be richly rewarded; the productive will be harnessed; and any resistance will be quickly punished.
Unfortunately this is not a farfetched scenario.
As an analogy of today’s situation… we are all trapped in a crowded theater which is on fire. We long ago stopped shouting, “Fire!” No one who could do anything about it seemed the least bit interested. We have since discovered that those responsible for the blaze are the Fire Marshall himself, and the Owner of the theater. The Fire Marshall has a vested interest in keeping the fire going. He doesn’t want to lose his job or the lifestyle it provides for his family and coworkers. And while he may not want to burn down the whole theater and thus lose that account, he knows that unless there is always some smoke billowing from somewhere, the patrons might recognize that they are actually perfectly safe and capable of guarding against fires themselves. The Owner of the theater has learned to go along with the duplicity of the Fire Marshall. He has found it very profitable to sell his patrons insurance, healthcare, smoke masks, and all manner of the paraphernalia they need to be comfortable in such an environment. He used to blame other competing theater owners for the terrible conditions, but since they all joined together in a giant trust, he has had to find another source of criminal intent setting all those fires. Terrorists! He and the Fire Marshall have convinced those watching his programming, that they are not safe because of Terrorists. Terrorists who hate them because of their popcorn!
As long as the show goes on there are surprisingly few who pay much attention. Simon, it would seem that your best solution is to vote with your feet. In this case, you advocate moving to the back row, where the air is less contaminated, and the seats have not yet been scorched. Your farm in Chile, Doug Casey’s farm in Argentina, are great! I applaud you both for creating oases of safety for those able to move with you. (Personally, I’ve moved to Costa Rica – much less smoke here too.)
But while voting with our feet in this manner may work for a few of us today, what about our kids, our grandkids? The whole theater is rapidly filling with smoke. Soon there will be no place safer than another. Once the Owner and Fire Marshall degrade all rows to the same condition, everyone but the Elite will have to get online, and beg management’s favors. We will all have to rent asbestos suits and oxygen masks from the concession stand just to survive.
How did Mankind come to such a pass? Are we just the sinful beasts some religions and philosophers portray us to be? Do we really need someone with an iron fist to keep us from each other’s throats? Why has it somehow always been acceptable for wars to be raging in foreign lands, and Governments to be oppressing their own citizens at home? And specifically how did the American Dream get so twisted from being a refuge for those fleeing oppression, and turn into a nightmare where the Land of the Free is now the greatest oppressor in the world?
Here’s the short answer: it is the predetermined path of the Social Contract!
Now to the Past…. I am a great champion of Human Nature. It is a statement of who we are – and it is by definition Good. It is important for me to make the point that we should be optimistic about ourselves as a Species – and not buy into the bad PR that is rampant regarding ourselves. To characterize Man as warlike, greedy, and sinful in general, has been the traditional drumbeat – and unfortunately it can be supported by reading the headlines throughout history. But in this case, the whole of Written History is itself a short look – and it does not represent Human Nature. Rather it perverts and maligns our Human Nature. In assessing who we really are, it is necessary to take into account the whole of our existence on this planet not just a tiny portion of it. We need to be confident that Wars and Criminality are not representative of who we are. We need to see how radically our Societies had to change for us to survive as Groups living in Cities starting 10,000 years ago. The overarching structures of Force and Control evinced by Armies and Police Forces are really not the norm for Mankind.
Take a look at this chart….
Homo sapiens Time on Earth
Paleolithic ^ Neolithic >> Homo sapiens 200,000 years – 100% >> Now
^ >> Living in Band Societies 190,000 years – 95% X 5%
X marks the spot 10,000 years ago
when Mankind signed the Social Contract
and moved from the forests (95%), into the cities (5%).
Scientists tell us that Homo sapiens have been wandering around the earth for about 200,000 years. That’s you and I dressed up in various costumes – but basically the same folks as always. For the first 95% of that time we organized ourselves into relatively small groups – called Band Societies. And how did we reach Accords in those small groups? I assert that it is our Human Nature to use the Democratic Process; and that it is always the way we operate when deliberating among our equals. If you analyze any decision-making process among coequals on the micro scale you will find that folks use the Democratic Process as comfortably as walking. Kids on the playground deciding whether to play baseball or football, or you and your friends deciding where to eat, or what movie to see, etc. These and millions of other mundane examples are examples of the Democratic Process at work. And what we are looking at here is an aspect of Human Nature.
Please take note that the Democratic Process need not be limited to one-person-one-vote. There are always Oligarchic elements to be considered: Who owns the capital to be used; who is an expert in this field; and even, who are the matriarchs or patriarchs involved? But a couple of things the Democratic Process does not include as relates to Human Nature is the assumption that the Majority owns the minority, or that a Stranger could ever have the right to put his hands on you or your possessions. Force is not a part of the equation. It is only in the last 10,000 years that Man broke with that model and moved from the forests to the city streets. The change was the Agricultural Revolution and it heralded in what I call the Age of the Social Contract. This Age of the Social Contract – this 5% – is an anomaly. It does not represent us well.
Recently, convincing archaeological evidence has proved that wars as we know them did not exist until the advent of cities. Our human nature is not that of Warmongers! But since the advent of cities, radically different societal organizations had to be instituted. The Liberty that individuals enjoyed in the forests had to be curtailed – men and women had to learn to take orders from Strangers. The security of the city demanded a Leader who commanded an Army for defense, and a Police Force to ensure that the populace kept the Army in readiness. This radically changed people’s relationships with each other. To understand why we are as we appear today, it is necessary to examine how living in cities changed our daily lives.
Please look at this chart…. It dates from the Social Contract to the present – 10,000 years of the Age of the Social Contract.
The Age of The Social Contract
X <<< <<< <<< <<< 10,000 years >>> >>> >>> >>> Now
Contract signed **Contract** ^ Written History began after between equals: **broken!** ^ 5,000 years of the Social
the few Protectors ^ Contract. The Protectors had
and the many ^ become God-Kings, the Protected Protected. ^ had become their Serfs.
Written History began about 5000 years after the beginning of the Age of the Social Contract. And having been written by the conquering heroes of the day, it is skewed in favor of Force as the defining attribute of Civilization. The first we ever hear of Society – it is of empires ruled by God-Kings. So for about 5000 years before Written History began, or about 200 generations (figuring 25 years per generation), city life under the Social Contract was the default setting as far as anybody knew. 200 generations of being under some Ruler’s control made it look like maybe the Gods thought that being owned and ruled by strangers was really a good idea. We can’t blame the ancient authors for not questioning the Divine Right of Kings. It was all anyone knew for as far back as there was memory or stories of the past.
You and I are now 400 generations away from the true Liberty and Individual Sovereignty, of life in Band Societies. And even though it flies in the face of our Human Nature, the concept that (quote) You can’t fight City Hall (end quote) has been engrained in our collective psyche. Overcoming this stuck consideration is one of our biggest challenges. The worldview of 400 generations is not easily swept away just by showing someone a few charts. It will not be easy to get people to understand that they can fight City Hall – and win! The good news is – that operating a CauseFunding Platform will prove to be a very profitable business in itself – long before there is any need to lock horns with Government. It will be proved in the Marketplace first. Then it will slowly begin to intrude into the spheres traditionally left to Government.
We can assume that when Social Contracts began to be instituted, they had real utility, and were beneficial to both sides. They would have been freely entered into by both parties to the contract: the few who would protect the Group; and the many who would support the few Protectors. It was a contract among equals. But over time, the Protectors, led by criminals, unilaterally broke the contract and became Rulers. Quite obviously this no longer reflected a contract between equals. The Rulers and their inner circle were the Elite, while the rest of the populace were reduced to lowly serfs, the property of the Rulers.
The more successfully criminal a society was in waging wars, the greater would be its empire. Force became enshrined as the most important aspect of Society. People who would otherwise lead peaceful lives were tainted by the Glories of War! And if we are honest about it, the concept of Civilization itself is really only the process of warring conquerors molding the vanquished into their own image.
Might makes right! Herein lie the seeds of our modern day burning theater holding us captive. Nothing has changed, only the trappings have been updated, but the theme and the plot are exactly the same.
The Social Contract defined the rules of Realpolitik. As stated above: Might makes right! From the beginning of the anomalous Age of the Social Contract, where individuals gave up their Sovereignty to Strangers, the die was cast. All Societies were structured to be able to project Force on others. Prior to the Social contract, the only ones in a Society who depended upon using Force on their fellows – where Criminals. Then with the Social Contract in operation, there were two elements in any Society that depended on Force to get what they wanted: Criminals and Government. Is it any wonder that the two elements would eventually meld into one?
If we let the Social Contract game play itself out, Economies of Scale will demand that Civilization continues to reduce the number of Empires to 1! That single Empire is the NWO. If some way is not found to return each Individual’s inherent Sovereignty to that Individual, and allow him or her to freely associate in deciding how to solve life’s problems – Government will continue to pervade all aspects of human life, and the nightmare scenarios will become more and more real.
To quote British economist E. F. Schumacher, “Small is beautiful!” And Efficiencies of Scale do not apply to the needs of Human Beings. We do not do well when treated like so many boxes of toothpaste mass produced and stacked on a supermarket shelf. The opposite is true. When men and women are treated as large masses, much of our humanity can be stripped away.
Psychologists tell us that the average man or woman has a cognitive limit to the number of people they can keep intimate track of. It’s called Dunbar’s Number; between 100 and 200 would seem to be the maximum number of people we can know intimately. Anthropologists tell us that the number of folks in a prehistoric Band Society, and the number of folks on people’s cell phones today correspond to this limit. This is predictable – we have lived in Band Societies for 95% of our time on earth. That 95% is central to determining our Human Nature – not an anomalous 5%. During that 95% we could know each individual’s relation to every other individual in our cohesive group. One aspect of Human Nature is that we tend to stick close to family and friends; it is not optimum for us to have to deal with crowds of Strangers.
My point in going on about all this is that we can be proud of who we are. During 95% of our time on Earth we have been surrounded by folks we knew intimately – and we lived in Peace. It was just the temporary necessities of protection from criminals who had seized control of Nations which has given us a bad self-image. 10,000 years may not sound like anything close to temporary – but it is. As I showed in the charts – it represents only 5% of the dataset about how we normally live. It’s time to move on…. Let’s hit the reset button and relax back into our Band Society default setting of Peace and harmony.
Modern technologies can free us from the Neolithic necessities of being ruled by Strangers. We can sweep away all that might-makes-right garbage, and reclaim our heritage of Sovereigns operating in relatively small groups, of living in Peace with our neighbors. And when decisions have to be made, we can make them democratically without giving up our Freedoms in the process.
3) MY INNOVATIONS – YELLOW
It may seem that I am contradicting myself: I stated above that the Democratic Process is a reflection of Human Nature, which is good – but Democracies have failed! Does this mean that Human Nature has failed? No – not really…. History’s salient experiments with Democracy all seem to have started out well, but then failed. Why – if Democracy is the best government going?
The answer to this question has always been Logistics – Logistics, Logistics, Logistics! So, just what are the technologies required to handle the needs of democratically getting from point A to point B? I look at ancient Athens, the Swiss cantons, and colonial America as the best examples of successes. Direct Democracy, where the individuals involved deliberated and reached Accords in real time, worked exceptionally well. All that was needed logistically, was: 1) An announcement of a meeting in the arena, or the town hall; 2) The topic for discussion; and 3) A set of understood procedures of Deliberation. In small groups the Democratic Process worked great! But when those who wished to participate in the process were too many to fit into a New England meetinghouse, or in an arena, the process fell apart. Whenever the size of a population outstripped the logistics to handle the essentials of the Democratic Process, which are: Inclusivity, Deliberation, and Accord – the Democratic Trilemma asserted itself, and Direct Democracy had to be abandoned. Inclusivity means that there are no barriers to anyone who wishes to participate in the decision-making process. But once there are no more seats or standing room in the town hall, the Democratic Process is broken. Or if the Town hall can seat 5,000 – everybody can get in, but the process is still broken because not everyone will be able to be heard. Deliberation breaks down in the hubbub of noise.
The process of Deliberation just becomes impracticable when there are too many voices trying to be heard. Representative Democracy is then instituted as a compromise – balancing the power of the common people, and the interests of the Elite. Next, Party Politics intrudes, and complicated issues get reduced to only 2 or 3 possible solutions, rather than allowing the process to fully explore every nuance, and continue the debate until a general Accord is reached.
An excellent, and recent example of this breakdown of the Democratic Process was seen in the failings of the Occupy Wall Street movement. These folks represent the most idealistic of modern and intelligent young people. They championed the Democratic Process and hoped to sweep away the excesses of the Oligarchy in power – but they fell victim to the Democratic Trilemma. They tried to accommodate everyone in the Deliberations, but it was too cumbersome; it took too long. The Group couldn’t react fast enough to be relevant as circumstances accelerated around them. If we were to take their experience as the rule – then all is lost! But had they used the organizational tools I have developed, their movement would not have ended in failure.
Years ago I began to focus on how Mankind could extract itself from what seemed to be its descent into another Dark Age – this time presided over by the New World Order. I knew that the Power of any Society is always resident in the people themselves. Power to the people, is not an empty motto. There is no Power in any Society – other than the People! But when the People lend their Power to Representatives who move too far from their control, there are no guarantees that those whom they elected will be true to their campaign promises. And Criminals are attracted to those positions of Power – like flies to honey. As I mentioned before, Criminals and Government both utilize Force to reach their ends. Criminals are right at home forcing others to do what they don’t want to do. For generations parents advised their children not to go into Politics – because it is rife with Crime! But until the advent of today’s technologies, there was no lasting solution. Voting the bums out just clears the way for a new batch of bums. And armed Revolutions just recharge the notion that Might makes right.
But, Simon, I did it! I figured out how 300 million people could coordinate their actions without giving Criminals the upper hand. The 3 basic elements of Criminality are Means, Motive, and Opportunity. The application of my system immediately reduces the Means and the Opportunity. And once the system is up and running, Society in general will grow more and more affluent – this increased general wealth will then also reduce the Motive to steal.
I had to make positions of Power transitory and difficult to hold onto. I had to decentralize decision-making so that the principle of Subsidiarity dominated the process in general. (Subsidiarity basically states that decisions should be taken in the smallest jurisdictions possible. If it’s a family decision the family makes it; if it’s a village decision, the village makes it; etc.) And I didn’t want a pot of gold lying around to attract the light fingered…. So I had to substitute something for taxation and the Treasury. Along the way, I even figured out how a Society could monetize its own future labor, allowing folks out of work to get some cash. And by utilizing the Real Bills Doctrine on a Society-wide basis, a stable currency can be easily created by any Society that wishes to pull itself up by its own bootstraps. All aspects of banking can stay in the People’s control.
My fundamental system is a Bottom-Up structure created by Individuals with common goals. It requires an Internet-based Platform. It will assure maximum Inclusivity – anyone interested just has to log on and join the ongoing discussions. Deliberation will be fluid, robust, and rapid. Everyone’s voice will be heard because no one will ever have to debate with more than 7 others at any one time. The system will continually invite participants to rearrange themselves according to their shared agreements – thus always increasing harmony among them. Once enough agreement is reached to do something about it, they specify their Accord in the form of a Business Plan, and then self-assess to fund the project. Then they act!
In essence, no money need be collected until a specific Business Plan has been agreed to. Thus there is no idle money sitting around for Criminals to steal. And this is very different from Crowdfunding where there is one person getting the money. My CauseFunding system creates an organized group with intimate knowledge of every aspect of the Project. This group can hit the ground running. They themselves can fill many positions of the administrational structure needed to effect their plan, and they will know whom to hire to fill in the blanks.
And in no way will CauseFunding be a frontal assault on Government – far from it. But it is a waste- and corruption-eating virus, which once let loose in society will slowly and quietly subsume Government. If there actually be some aspect of life that Government performs better than the private sector, then hooray for Government! Perhaps the Department of Dog Catcher and Mosquito Control will remain in place. But I doubt it!
What will immediately start chewing at problems in Society is the proposed business model utilizing my organizing concepts. It is IDCSA; IDCSA is the acronym for Interactive Database for Cooperative Social Action. It is the engine of CauseFunding.
IDCSA will have all the capabilities of a Social Network like Facebook, plus all the capabilities of not-for-profit and for-profit Crowdfunding sites. In fact, until there is a proprietary Platform for IDCSA, it could initially be cobbled together in a Mashup of existing platforms: Facebook, Facebook Rooms, and Google Communities and Google Hangouts could handle most of the requirements. In Facebook Rooms folks could gather anonymously to discuss their shared Cause en masse. Once they felt they were big enough to actually do something about whatever, they could serve themselves up a questionnaire regarding the most important and defining aspects of their quest. Depending on the responses, they would then split themselves up into harmonious Groups of 8, using Google Hangouts. In their anonymous 8-PAC’s (People in Active Communication), they could freely discuss and debate how to proceed towards their goal. Each 8-PAC would nominate a Delegate to communicate to the Delegates of other similar 8-PAC’s; and the Group’s communication would grow geometrically.
Please look at this chart….
8 X 8 X 8… =
8 is a 1st Level 8-PAC. A Delegate would have to talk to:
8 X 8 = 64, completes a 2nd Level. 14 others
8 X 64 = 512 completes a 3rd Level. 21 others
8 X 512 = 4,096 completes a 4th Level. 28 others
8 X 4,096 = 32,768 completes a 5th Level. 35 others
8 X 32,768 = 262,144 completes a 6th Level. 42 others
8 X 262,144 = 2,097,152 completes a 7th Level. 49 others
8 X 2,097,152 = 16,777,216 completes a 8th Level. 54 others
8 X 16,777,216 = 134,217,728 completes a 9th Level. 63 others
8 X 134,217,728 = 1,073,741,904 completes a 10th Level. 70 ”
8 X 1,073,741,904 = 8,589,935,232 completes a 11th Level. 77 ”
There are now about 7 billion people on the Earth,
so an incomplete 11th Level would handle everybody.
This chart describes the Geometric growth of groups of only 8 each. It also shows how many people each Delegate would have to talk to as the Levels grew. I have found that people have a hard time believing that starting with a group of just 8 people – the whole world’s population could be handled by only 11 Levels. But the math is right there! 8 is the 1st Level; then 8 x 8 = 64, is the 2nd Level; then 8 x 64 = 512, makes the 3rd Level; and on it goes. And perhaps even more remarkable is that if there were just 1 Delegate elected to represent the whole planet, he or she would have to be directly connected with less than 77 others! And only 7 of them at any one time at each Level. (Without the Internet, such a structure would never be possible.)
The conversation would flow up from the lower Levels to the higher Levels, and then back down to each participant via their Delegates. When their shared purposes and goals were reduced to an agreed-upon Business Plan, they would know how much the costs would be, and how much each Participant would have to chip in. No taxation here – just interested Sovereign Individuals reaching into their pockets and purses to fund something on which they agree.
At this point the motion of the group would leave cyberspace for the Real World. For a big project, lawyers, bankers, escrow agents would have to be contacted. Money would flow into an account with the stipulation that nothing would be dispersed until a certain threshold was met. If that threshold were never met, then the Group would not move beyond discussion. But if the threshold were met – then the Business Plan would roll into action.
I hope you recognize that throughout this process there need be no Leaders as such. It is the data and the arguments regarding the common Cause which carry the process forward. In fact no one ever need know with whom they are dealing. All that is really important is that goals are met.
4) CONCLUSION – BLUE
This may not be the only way to stop the New World Order juggernaut. But it is a way. No violence, no blood, just folks getting together to act positively in Society. And there is a wide open window of opportunity right now. To stop IDCSA from taking root, Governments in the current Democracies would have to shut down the Internet almost entirely. This is equivalent to shutting down their economies. And regarding Logistics, it is precisely in the technologically advanced 1st World where this system could most easily take hold. A huge percentage of the people in these societies carry the only tool needed to join this Democratic Evolution – their Cellphones!
Consider a group of 10,000 deliberating some subject. Every first Level 8-PAC could schedule a discussion at 9 AM Thursdays. That’s every individual talking to seven others at 9 AM – 10,000 people. Each successive Level could meet an hour after the previous one. That means that by 2 PM all 10,000 would have had the opportunity to discuss the business of the day with their seven peers, and via their Delegates, with everyone else.
And Simon, regarding your camp, please consider this – if you were just gathering a bunch of people to discuss how to make money, this idea still has merit solely as a business venture. Forget saving the world for a moment. IDCSA is an innovative new spin on 2 explosive Internet enterprises: Social Networking and Crowdfunding. As something new, it would gather clients just because of its novelty. And not only can it fulfill all the features of each – it has dynamic new ancillary features all its own!
Imagine a candidate running for some office who had organized his or her supporters in 8-PAC’s. This candidate promised that if elected they would follow their constituents wishes as closely as possible. Which candidate would you want to represent you – someone with whom you had this pledge and constant communication, or someone who once elected just disappeared until they needed your vote again?
Simon, think of your own business and the people on your mailing list. If you guaranteed anonymity and security of information to your followers, you could get them to be extremely detailed and forthcoming about any aspect of their lives. You could then mine that data with a few keystrokes to find out what they really wanted and then provide it to them. And as a socially conscious leader you could ask how your followers could assist you in your projects; and you could challenge them to come up with projects of their own, which perhaps you could help bring off. And to do this – you would have to speak with only one other person – the Delegate assigned by all your followers.
This organizational system gives a real voice to any Group. In creating the database, people would learn that the better the data they personally upload, the greater their benefits from the database. It would be in every Individual’s interest to be as honest as possible in offering his or her version of the Truth. And they would know that no data could ever be traced back to them personally. But anytime something of interest to them was going on – they would be notified and invited to join the discussion in progress. I foresee each new database Platform in whatever jurisdiction, being able to unite with all others – ever expanding the potential for Society as a whole.
Once introduced to IDCSA, people will tend to stick around, and lend their ideas as new projects are introduced on the system. And to repeat – herein is the incredible Power and potential of this system – chatting will naturally lead to Action! Up to now, there has been no way for large Groups to move seamlessly from Talk, through the Democratic Process to Action. Now there is!
I dream of a worldwide database – a voice of mankind which any individual could tap at any time but which no individual or group could co-opt, or control in any way. The same data and more, that the Elite of the New World Order plan to use to rule the world, will be in a neutral Central Information Cloud – under the control of no one, and traceable back to no Individual.
Like yourself, with your Sovereign Man subscribers, every leader of a Group with a mailing list could be in constant communication with his or her Group: any movie star, author, or musician with a fan club, politicians, religious leaders, charity organizations, etc. And towns with a tradition of Town Meetings could immediately adopt the system to augment their Democratic Processes. The prospects are truly awesome! And they need to happen soon!
Simon – I’d like to be included in your upcoming Liberty and Entrepreneurship camp.
Thank you very much for listening,
John Huckel
