Current Issues

Ineffective Use of Resources

This is a dominant theme in our current political systems. Money and resources are not being allocated effectively. Wrong incentives, bad metrics, waste, and corruption are prevalent.

Possible Courses of Action

Evolution of Communities

A way to develop better ways to use our resources and the planet's resources.

• Allow to easily create new communities
  • They can be
    • Global or local
    • Founded around different interests
• These communities will experiment with new ways of allocating and using money and resources while having core values that will benefit our society and planet for the long run.
• As time goes by, new structures, systems, and collaborating practices will emerge.
• Sharing between communities, similar to open-source.

Quotes
