{{ConceptImportanceInfobox2Low}}
= Overview =


Incorporate into education of children from a young age the importance of rational thinking, understanding how our own and other's biases affect our ability to reason effectively, teaching methods that reduce irrational decision making.


Teach the importance of the core concepts the community considers important, for example how all people have the capacity for [[Special:MyLanguage/Good vs Evil|good and evil]] and concentrated power offers a path for evil people act out their destructive desires.

= Work ethic and love of knowledge = 


Young children are shaped by their peers and environment and the community can mold new generations be [[Special:MyLanguage/Manipulation|crafting]] a child's environment.


Children should be surrounded by people who express a strong work ethic and crave knowledge, removing from that environment behavior that teaches a [[Special:MyLanguage/Bred to be lazy consumers|reliance on other people or that the value of life comes from what you consume]].

Greed and materialism

2026-04-09T14:41:12Z

Sven the Barbarian:

<translate>
= Overview = 


One of the strongest [[Special:MyLanguage/The animal nature of humans|animal natures]] humans have is greed, the desire to accumulate and to value things we possess more than our [[Special:MyLanguage/Kindness and respect|kindness to others]] and [[Special:MyLanguage/Strong work ethic|what we create]].


The quest for accumulation is woven into almost every aspect of modern society and in times of stability does not [[Special:MyLanguage/What makes humans happy|make people happy]].


Like all [[Special:MyLanguage/The animal nature of humans|animal natures]] humans can be raised to not be greedy, almost all religions reject greed and materialism as core precepts.

= State sanctioned inequality = 


Leaders over history have supported social controls such as religions that reject greed because those in power want the population to [[Special:MyLanguage/Inequality is the goal|have and crave for little]].

= The new paradigm = 


With peoples commitment to traditional religions faltering, modern society now [[Special:MyLanguage/Bred to be lazy consumers|encourages greed and materialism]] as a way to keep the population powerless. If the goal of most of the population is to achieve meaningless things they are too busy to recognize the evil actions of those in powers or cooperate in revolution.

= Personal relationships = 


Entering into a defined relationship with another person is a possessive act, whether a sexual partner or through marriage, it is a way of saying this person now belongs to me. In the case of [[Special:MyLanguage/Marriage and children|marriage]] this can be possession that is hard to escape from.

Good vs Evil

What is good, what is evil?


* On a personal level each individual chooses what that consider good and what evil.
* On a social level these terms should be defined by the majority.
* Social rules should be defined by the morality of the majority, according to their definitions.


At a low level, most people agree with aspects of Natural Law[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_law], such as being truthful and every persons right to life, property, and self defense.

In a competitive environment, such as obtaining [[Special:MyLanguage/Concentration of power|positions of power]], evil people will have a distinct advantage over good as they have at their disposal many more tools to succeed, they will do what good people are not willing to win.


Evil people also have more incentive to have power over other people, because in everyday society evil acts are punished, but once you have power there are pathways to hurt others without consequence.


A governing system that creates [[Special:MyLanguage/Concentration of power|positions of power]] will over time result in the evil ruling over the [[Special:MyLanguage/Mob rule|good morality of the majority]].

Community size in relation to self governance

= Overview = 


The goal of {{CommunityMainName}} is to create large scale [[Special:MyLanguage/Self governance|self governance]] based on direct democracy as an alternative to existing power structures that govern large populations.


Effective direct democracy on a large social scale has never been tested, smaller scale implementations have, such as co-ops and other community organizations.


[[Special:MyLanguage/Self governance|Self governance]] with a small community is different to that of a large population, biases, personal relationships, greed and loyalty manifest in small groups.

{{CommunityMainNamePlural}} will most likely begin small and will suffer from the dangers of small self governed groups, for this reason it might make sense for a new community to implement a quorum minimum number of members, or perhaps a specific representation of segments in society, before allowing pure direct democracy to control all decisions.


One structure to accomplish this is to have a benevolent dictator or council who can override communal voting during early stages, this creates a [[Special:MyLanguage/Concentration of power|concentration of power]] and protections should be in place to counter this, such as a clearly defined transition to [[Special:MyLanguage/Self governance|self governance]] and strong [[Special:MyLanguage/Transparency|transparency]] requirements of people in powerful positions.

Coercion

2025-11-17T13:44:46Z

Sven the Barbarian:

<translate>
= Overview = 


When a transparent public voting system is implemented the danger or coercion is increased because the coercer can verify whether a vote was placed according to their demands.


An {{CommunityMainName}} can mitigate the danger of coercion by enforcing anti-coercion rules that can be enforced through the issue resolution process.


Clear cases of coercion should be easily defined and policed by the community, meaning the threat of coercion can be mitigated to the point it does not threaten the integrity of self governance, and the public vote needed to ensure the system is not compromised.

= Mitigating coercion through punishment = 


The [[Special:MyLanguage/Issue resolution|issue resolution]] process can be initiated by any person who feels themselves or somebody else is being unduly coerced, the community can then deal with this in the way they have decided it should be dealt with.

= Defining coercion = 


Coercion is persuading someone to vote using force or threats. The community will decide what constitutes a threat, for example is an individual saying they will not talk to someone again if they vote a certain way a threat, or is it that individual's right to choose who they talk to?


These types of definitions will develop and evolve over time.

Bred to be lazy consumers

2025-11-17T13:40:15Z

Sven the Barbarian:

<translate>
= Overview = 


If those who crave power want the population to be [[Special:MyLanguage/Inequality is the goal|weak]] it is easier to understand why existing societies [[Special:MyLanguage/Manipulation|manipulate]] their populations to not think [[Special:MyLanguage/Truth seeking|rationally]] and act in ways that weaken themselves.

= [[Special:MyLanguage/The animal nature of humans|Animal nature]] = 


Our nature is to accumulate things and find opportunities in life to relax, this makes sense from an evolutionary standpoint where accumulation of things would aid in survival, and when life was hard on our bodies it was important to relax at any opportunity.


We no longer live under those conditions and these drives can be used against us to maintain hierarchies of power and control.

= Examples = 

== Education system == 


The modern education system for the general public was designed to develop a work force, not encourage truth seeking, it was designed by powerful people for a society they deemed productive, where most people don't think too hard, their lives are laid out before them (by the powerful) and questioning established habits are viewed upon negatively.


Education for powerful offspring differs in that it teaches how to manage resources and manipulate the workers to be more productive. Classics and philosophy, truth seeking, are integrated into the powerful's education so they have the tools to maintain power more than those born into lower classes.

== Consumption is happiness == 


Politicians and private sector power wants people spending, consuming, focused on accumulation of unnecessary things, many of which purport to improving life but in reality decrease that consumers quality of life.


As the science of manipulation becomes more effective the constant promotion of consumption teaches the majority of the population, many of whom cannot afford it, that consumption is the only path to satisfaction.


Capitalists support this as it maintains a manageable flow of power into their control. Politicians and capitalists want this because when the population is focused on consumption and lacks financial freedom they are easier to control. Roman's used the term 'bread and circuses' to describe how to distract a population from the truth, the bread being consumption in modern society.

== Big tech's optimization == 


All successful large scale tech platforms use a dopamine model to manipulate people into becoming addicted to their service, this model rewards laziness and consumption with content that caters to our [[Special:MyLanguage/The animal nature of humans|animal nature]].


Tech allows this manipulation to scale immensely, near real-time systems can present multiple tests to large samples of the population, analyse which are most effective, and make adjustments to achieve desired results.


Because these platforms are controlled by those in power the planned results are almost always [[Special:MyLanguage/Inequality is the goal|negative for the people using them]].

= Passed down over generations = 


Most people do not realize the system and culture they grew up in has bred them to be lazy and weak as most lessons are passed down by parents and peers rather than overtly from a powerful class.


Like most changes in society this happens over a long time normally without clear planned conspiracies, but rather through motivations. Those who crave power have low regard for others and given the opportunity will manipulate the population to [[Special:MyLanguage/Irrational people are easier to manipulate|think less]] and be consumerists as it serves their position of power.


It does not take strong arguments to convince people to consume and be lazy due to it being in our nature, people then find ways to [[Special:MyLanguage/Justifying evil acts|justify]] this behavior, including passing that behavior to their children. This creates a culture and social beliefs that span generations and are difficult to challenge.

{{ConceptImportanceInfobox8VeryHigh}}
= Overview =


For members of the community to make good decisions and carry out effective issue resolution there should be a high level of access to information about the community and all community activity.


For effective self governance and truth seeking Transparency should be considered a high priority. The level of transparency can be decided on by each community, for example every action of all members, including conversations, contact outside the community, could be recorded for community oversight.

= Monitoring those with power = 


People given a position of responsibility or power over others should require a higher level of transparency, for example high level decision makers and people tasked with enforcement being surveilled at all times.

Community α - Economy

{{InitialStateImportanceInfobox7High}}
= Overview =


The initial economy of {{CommunityAlphaName}} will focus on achieving [[Special:MyLanguage/Self-sufficiency|self-sufficiency]] while creating [[Special:MyLanguage/Living healthy lives|a healthy life]] for it's members.


Resources will most likely be limited and the primary goal of initial members will be to generate income for the community, this income can be used to increase assets to support new members and to pay for needed goods and services from outside the community.


What endeavors will be undertaken to achieve income will depend on skills of members and opportunities available. The [[Special:MyLanguage/Scientific method|scientific method]] should be used to analyse energy and what achieves the most income while staying inline with key morality of the community such as limiting [[Special:MyLanguage/Good vs Evil|evil]].


A method of [[Special:MyLanguage/Productive time management|productive time management]] will be implemented to ensure all members participate, weighted more towards community tasks.


If possible the community will grow as much of the food needed as it can, otherwise healthy good value local produce will be sourced. Meals will probably be communal in order to reduce waste.


A [[Special:MyLanguage/Token economy|token economy]] can be implemented to reward people for doing less desirable tasks, which could then be used to allocate limited resources, however spending of assets would be frugal in order to support [[Special:MyLanguage/Scaling the community|scaling]] and [[Special:MyLanguage/Self-sufficiency|self-sufficiency]].


All decisions will be made by the [[Special:MyLanguage/Voting system|voting system]] with veto power being employed only when decisions clearly contradict the community's primary goals.

{{InitialStateImportanceInfobox8VeryHigh}}
= Overview =


Anyone can raise an issue against anyone else and a multi-level [[Special:MyLanguage/Issue resolution|sortition]] process will be implemented to decide what the solution should be.


Depending on the size of the initial community an example would be seven people are chosen for a jury. If an appeal is made it is passed to the entire community to decide upon.


If the community increases in size and appeals are too time consuming for the entire community to decide on, the second level of appeal could be limited to a reasonably large random number of members.


In early stages there will not be clear solutions for different issues, a body of resolutions will begin to form as the process matures.


The jury will decide using range choice voting, any number of possible solutions can be presented by any member of the community, and the jury members can enter their preferences at any time, once all jury members submit their selections the most popular resolution is implemented.


Any party can then appeal that decision immediately, if an appeal is made the resolution is put on hold until the appeal is complete. Appeals can also be made at any later date.


The same system can be used to police misuse of the appeal system, people who waste resources with frivolous appeals can have issues raised against them for that behavior and the community decide how to penalize it.

Sexual relationships

2025-01-25T00:46:28Z

Sven the Barbarian:

<translate>
= Overview = 


Sexual [[Special:MyLanguage/The animal nature of humans|animal natures]] are some of the strongest drives peoples experience, for obvious reasons humans crave finding partners to mate with, during initial stages it is driven by the bodies desire to have sex, over time it normally morphs into a desire to [[Special:MyLanguage/Marriage and children‏‎|have children]].

= Frustration = 


Both men and women develop feelings of frustration when they desire but are denied sex, with men feeling higher levels of frustration which can come out as aggression.


For men the craving to have intercourse is strong and rises regularly. For women the desire is more to possess or be possessed by a man, to feel safe and have a good future with sex being partly a craving, especially during selection of a mate or when a child is desired, and partly a service to care for her mate.


If the goal of a community has goals of [[Special:MyLanguage/Kindness and respect|kindness and respect]] and increasing [[Special:MyLanguage/Strong work ethic|productivity]] rules could be put in place that alleviate the frustration and attention that sexual relationships demand of members.

= Competition = 


The pursuit of sexual partner/s is a competitive endeavor, men wish to be desired by and have sexual intercourse with the most sexually attractive females, women feel drawn to and will accept as a sexual partner the most powerful man she can, often requiring a man to prove his worth.


The desire to possess a better mate than others is a manifestation of [[Special:MyLanguage/Greed and materialism|greed]], from an evolution standpoint it is a method that encourages the most powerful and strong people to reproduce.


An altruistic community that wishes to reduce greed and discourage the pursuit of individual power could extend this to the competitive nature of sex by [[Special:MyLanguage/Allocated sexual activity|allocated sexual activity]]

= Historical controls = 


Societies have used different methods to control sexual desire and reduce frustration and conflicts that arrive from these complex personal relationships.


Woman have often been considered the possession of the male, this creates a situation where the woman is expected to service the mans sexual desires, and in most cultures in return for this the man protects and provides for the woman.


Arranged marriages ensure that most members of society had a sexual partner, heavily reducing the competitive nature of mate selection.


[[Special:MyLanguage/Manipulation|Manipulating]] people into believing desire for sex is a bad thing is common in many societies, this creates a self-imposed control on the negative competitive nature of finding a mate, with attention focused more on [[Special:MyLanguage/Marriage and children‏‎|child rearing]].

= Current behavior = 


Spread of knowledge and enlightened developments such as women's rights have changed newer generations views and behaviors regarding sex and procreation. It is a period where past cultural norms such as marriage or viewing sex as a taboo subject still exist but new norms such as selfish consumption combine.


People are having less children and marriages fail at increasing rates, with alternatives to the complex nature of maintaining a sexual relationship such as pornography, many people choose not to bother finding sexual partners.

= Sex within an {{CommunityMainName}} = 


Because it is such an important part of peoples lives communities can create rules that support members. These rules should be based on the [[Special:MyLanguage/Scientific method|scientific method]], goals should be stated and rules that achieve those goals tested.


For example if it is decided that both men and women should regularly be having sex, for example to reduce frustration, increase [[Special:MyLanguage/Strong work ethic|productivity]] or [[Special:MyLanguage/What makes humans happy|make people more happy]] [[Special:MyLanguage/Allocated sexual activity|allocated sexual activity]] or similar rules could be implemented.


Other methods of releasing sexual tension could be considered.


[[Special:MyLanguage/Humility and the Socratic method|Humility]], [[Special:MyLanguage/Kindness and respect|kindness and respect]] should be expressed, and because {{CommunityMainNamePlural}} value [[Special:MyLanguage/Truth seeking|truth seeking]] and [[Special:MyLanguage/Transparency|transparency]] the topic openly discussed.

Concentration of power

2025-01-17T12:39:27Z

Sven the Barbarian:

<translate>
= Overview = 


Positions of power over time implement systems to increase and maintain that power because the primary reason for people to achieve the position is to have power. Although a position of power might have had positive reasons for existing, over time it mutates into power for powers sake.


As technology and understanding of psychology and social manipulation improve the ability to maintain and expand such positions becomes more dangerous.

= Power attracts evil = 


People who want to obtain power over other people are attracted to and will fight harder to achieve positions of power, whereas a rational kind person's desire not to exert control over others hinders their commitment to achieving power.


People who want to harm others under normal circumstances would be punished by society for doing so, achieving a position of power gives opportunity to act out their desires without consequences.


People who are comfortable lying in order to enrich themselves are attracted to positions that have decision making power as it has opportunity to benefit from corruption.


For these reasons over time evil seeks out positions of power and has more tools available to achieve it.

= [[Special:MyLanguage/The animal nature of humans|Human nature]] = 


Women chose mates according to their ability to provide, those with power give stronger markers they can provide, this drives men to seek positions of power.


Men have an animal nature to rise above other men, women reward this by being attracted to men who can dominate other men.


Because in a competitive society [[Special:MyLanguage/Good vs Evil|evil]] is an effective technique to achieve power, mating drivers for men and women reinforce [[Special:MyLanguage/The animal nature of humans|human nature]] that would socially be recognized as evil, often men need to perform evil acts to achieve power but will create a narrative and [[Special:MyLanguage/Justifying evil acts|justifications]] to present the image of not doing evil.

= [[Special:MyLanguage/Competition vs altruism|Filtering for leaders]] = 


The competitive process to gain power can be looked at as a [[Special:MyLanguage/Competition vs altruism|filtering process]] to find the strongest, most intelligent, and perhaps most ruthless people to lead.


In situations where survival is at stake this filtering could be justified, when a country is going to war or when clans need to compete for limited resources such leaders could ensure the communities survival, especially if the leaders survival and position of power is tied to the survival of the community.


However as the size of societies grow and survival more likely, these justifications do not outweigh the costs of evil people having power. An example are feudal monarchies who would send populations to war for insignificant reasons with the understanding those in power would never be in danger of death or loss of social status. Parallels could be made with modern leaders and social structures.


In an {{CommunityMainName}} an alternative method of choosing leaders (if needed) is using the [[Special:MyLanguage/Scientific method|scientific method]] to test potential leaders and results they achieve while maintaining social oversight and control.

Any adult member can request to have a child with any other member, each person has a set quota and frequency as a requester and as a target partner.


The specifics of quotas and frequency of births could be decided by the population according to community goals and resources.

== Requester quota == 


For example adults could be given the opportunity to request having a child once every four years and have a quota where they can place their name in the queue for three target people.


Placing your name on the queue of a popular person carries the cost that it might be many years, if ever, before your request is actioned.

== Target partner queue == 


Each person has a queue that other people place their name on to request a child with, and must work through the queue at a set frequency, for example one request per year for men or every five years for women.


The requester can at any time remove their name from a queue, if they re-enter the queue they do not retain their previous position, their name is added at the bottom.

== Differences between men and women == 


The community can create separate requirements for men and women according to what the community feels is reasonable.


The health of women would need to be considered, with special allowances for cases that child bearing might be dangerous.


A community could enact rules where outside of the required quota woman can choose to have a child with any man they choose, whereas men must use the queue and quota method to choose a mate. This would allow all men to have the opportunity to choose the woman to mate with while respecting the larger health considerations and commitment procreation has for women.

== Mutual agreement == 


If two people mutually agree to have a child together this might not count within their quota, for women this would need to be organized around the required frequency decided by the community.


A community might enforce limits for the number of children one person can have, especially when communal child care and support is implemented.

== Incorporating modern techniques == 


Fertility support could be supported or implemented by the community, in vitro fertilization used to assists couples having trouble conceiving.


Surrogate mothers could be an established method to achieve quotas or mating without the need for women to carry children to term. This could be in cases where the health of the mother would be in jeopardy or the community could incorporate this into the standard method of handling pregnancies.


Surrogate mothers could be rewarded by the community, or by the individuals involved for example if the pregnancy comes about from mutual agreement rather than quotas, but the mother is unable to carry the child herself at that time.

== Enforcement == 


Like all topics in the community the [[Issue resolution]] process is used when people do not act within the spirit of the communities goals regarding procreation.

What gets voted on

2024-11-10T12:23:46Z

Sven the Barbarian:

<translate>

{{ConceptImportanceInfobox6High}}
= Overview =


A community will require a large number of decisions to be made which can can make self governance overwhelming, this can be mitigated by [[Special:MyLanguage/Voting system#Delegation|delegation]], localizing votes, and by assigning implementation decisions to people.


There are two basic types of decisions a community makes, moral decisions and implementation decisions.

== Moral decisions == 


These decisions are not based on achieving a particular result, rather they depend on the beliefs or feelings of the community, such as deciding what is good and what is bad.


Moral decisions that affect the wider community should never be assigned to an individual, they should always be voted on by all people affected by the decision.

=== Moral decision examples === 


* How much wealth should an individual be allowed to obtain
* Euthanasia
* Up to what term should abortion be allowed
* How much resources should the community invest in researching a cure for blindness

== Implementation decisions == 


Implementation decisions are choices that are made to achieve a set result. Who is assigned to achieve the result might be decided by the community, but the decisions to achieve that result decided by the assignee.


The Assignee could be an individual, a group of people, or an institution.


Which implementation decisions are voted on by the community and which are decided by an assignee can be controlled by [[Special:MyLanguage/Initializing a vote|initializing a vote]].


When implementation decisions are assigned the results should be analysed to gauge how effective the assignee was, the analysis could also be assigned by the community.


All decisions made by an assignee should be transparent, and any assignment of responsibility can be removed by the community at any time.

=== Implementation decision examples === 


Examples that might be decided on by all members:


* What system to implement to monitor individual wealth
* Which individual or groups should be given resources to cure blindness


Examples that might be assigned to an assignee:


* maintenance decisions for community data systems
* How to spend the assigned resources to cure blindness

= Localizing votes = 


As a community grows in size many decisions that require a community vote can be separated into areas of influence, only people who are affected by the decision are involved in the vote.


For example if the community spans a large area of land and there is a decision to re-route a river, that decision could be localized to only members local to the river.

Voting system

Sven the Barbarian:

<translate>

{{ConceptImportanceInfobox7High}}
= Overview =
To achieve self governance a voting system must be employed, at early stages with a handful of people meetings and votes can be counted manually, as the community grows, continuing to society level, technology should be employed to ensure a trustworthy voting system.

= Range choice voting = 


Each community can choose it's method of voting with integrity, access, efficiency being strong considerations.


Range choice voting is an effective voting system when choosing from multiple options, individuals can rank multiple choices, if their first choice gets the lowest number of votes their vote passes to their second choice and so on.

= Delegation = 


Especially as the community increases in size, delegation should be considered, where an individual can delegate their vote to another person.


Delegation can be passed to any other person and can be removed at any time.


A more complex system can be implement where decisions are categorized and individuals can delegate different types of decisions to different people.

{{ConceptImportanceInfobox4Moderate}}
= Overview =


By seeking truth better decisions can be made, however in complex systems absolute truth is difficult, sometimes impossible to attain. Because ambiguities exist the goal is to come as close to the truth as the current information allows, to search for more information, and to reassess understandings as the information changes.


There are techniques that can be applied that assist in truth seeking, such as the [[Special:MyLanguage/Scientific method|scientific method]] and [[Special:MyLanguage/Humility and the Socratic method|Socratic method]].

= Rational thinking = 


An ability to think rationally will aid community members achieve the outcomes they desire. Clearly stating what result is wanted, using logic, data, and analysis will help determine whether a chosen course most closely achieved the result.

{{ConceptImportanceInfobox8VeryHigh}}
= Overview =


For members of the community to make good decisions and carry out effective issue resolution there should be a high level of access to information about the community and all community activity.


For effective self governance and truth seeking Transparency should be considered a high priority. The level of transparency can be decided on by each community, for example every action of all members, including conversations, contact outside the community, could be recorded for community oversight.

= Monitoring those with power = 


People give a positions of responsibility or power over others should require a higher level of transparency, for example high level decision makers and people tasked with enforcement being surveilled at all times.

= Distribution of wealth = 


Wealth in a capitalistic society is a primary method of [[Special:MyLanguage/Concentration of power|concentrating power]], with [[Special:MyLanguage/Self governance|self governance]] the community can dictate the value of different tasks people perform and limitations on wealth.

The community can vote on how members time is allocated between community determined tasks, individual chosen tasks, and relaxation time.

= Community tasks = 


These are tasks that the community requires to be done, members are rewarded tokens according to the demand to do the task and measurable outcomes, less popular tasks or members who achieve better results will be given more tokens.


The [[Special:MyLanguage/Scientific method|scientific method]] or [[Special:MyLanguage/Voting system|voting system]] can be applied to choosing who does which tasks. People who perform the task well will be chosen, while others who want the opportunity to take on the task can be tested and compared according to defined metrics.


People could select the tasks they wish to perform, tasks that are unpopular could be given higher rewards to encourage people to apply.

= Individual tasks = 


These periods are decided on by each member, but are expected to be productive, the community can choose what tasks it considers productive such as artistic endeavors.


Members can spend tokens to support or purchase the results of individual tasks.

= Relaxation time = 


Time that members can use in any way they choose, if creating things those things can be supported by token purchases.
