English speakers internet literate so we would have already cut down most of the world
then we help each other within our limited means
So it doesn’t solve the problem that is the fact that the richer(s? 🤔) need to pay for the lasts and we would be just in a worse situation than now (at least here in Europe would be much worse than status quo, in US idk)
The system I propose applies to everyone who agrees, without geographic bounds. You pick and choose the agreements that you believe in, and therefore the people you want to associate with, and the way in which you want to associate with them. It’s consent vs coercion.
Yep I got this part right and I’ve also had the same idea in the past. But never tried to implement it because of the stuff we already saying + if someone is already paying 40% of their income in taxes how would they live agreeing to another set of law for another 40% of the remaining? Either all reclaiming some sort of indipendence from their country (and now we asking people much more than just following the rules, but to live as outlaws in their countries) or idk living with almost no income. Reclaiming land by grouping in an area and slowly taking political control by consent still looks more realistic and less dangerous to me (but it requires people to move and looks like no one wants that lol)
maybe even a nuclear exchange
People that want this could agree on this and could be the people that have the power to do that while us agreeing on not doing this with 0 power over them, for example. Or just most of the world agreeing on “there may be only 2 genders and 2 only” and stuff like this :o
I find myself wishing to exclude me and my people from the system but that would be just a way to protect us during the future events, not to actually change the world
Btw check out the, I think abandoned, basisproject.net in the meanwhile; also circles basic income
The proposal does not assert the primacy of English, for agreements may be authored in any language and translated into any language. Agreements are more likely to be adopted that the average person could quickly understand. The Basis Project looks to me like a rather complicated trade agreement, which I didn’t fully understand after 10 minutes of consultation. I would break that into several discrete agreements.
While toying with the many agreements that I have dreamt of, I keep asking myself "How can I make this simpler?"and “Would anybody agree to this?” I wander the supermarket and look at people and ask “Would this person agree to this?” Maybe they would, if someone they knew well had already adopted the agreement and explained the benefits. I would be very curious to see how fast particular agreements could potentially spread. Asking people to host the network at home is a big hurdle.
Great wealth inequality exists in the global economy, both between states, and between individuals inside states, and the inequality appears to be increasing consistently for decades. An elegant trick. A parallel and more fairer economy could capture an increasing share of human activity and value over time. By choosing to trade with those who adopt a more ethical approach you could encourage this economy. You may over time find yourself able to meet an increasing array of needs through established agreements, hopefully without breaking any laws. That said, agreements go beyond the scope of trade, potentially encompassing all facets of social interaction.
I wholeheartedly support the movement towards eco-communities, but many people can’t uproot and gather for many reasons. The proposed system provides them with the opportunity to stay put, while also engaging in increased collaboration and cooperation with like-minded folk close to home and far afield.
On the subject of state-on-state violence, peace can be achieved once enough people have organized. It is a long road.
