- 21:34, 29 August 2024 Pete talk contribs created page Thoughts on an intentional community with a subjective ratings based economy (Created page with "== Why talk about an intentional community? == A subjective ratings-based economy (SRBE), as we have previously discussed, would not necessarily need to be forced into existence. It could (and we assume, it will) grow organically alongside the money-based economy and even co-exist with it indefinitely, that is, it does not necessarily need to completely displace money-based economies. One might ask, then, why should we try to model an intentional community with a SRBE?...") Tag: Visual edit: Switched
- 18:24, 29 August 2024 Pete talk contribs created page Thoughts on a subjective ratings based economy (Created page with "It can be difficult to imagine an economy without money. The idea of a “gift economy” sounds nice, but breaks down at any scale whatsoever due to people taking advantage of the system without providing anything in return (the “free-rider problem”). Money serves as a more-or-less objective measure (however flawed it may be) of contribution to an economy, and its exchange for goods and services serves as an imperfect but somewhat functional check against the free-r...")

- 16:08, 29 August 2024 Pete talk contribs created page Optimal income distribution (Created page with "We have discussed the need for a more equal income distribution than the one western capitalism yields. But how would we define an optimal distribution? A starting point for deciding this could start with a condition of Pareto optimality. That is, we stipulate that a Pareto sub-optimal distribution is one in which everyone is worse off. The figure below shows several simplified distributions. We reject the two curves on the bottom because everyone is worse off if they ar...") Tag: Visual edit
- 15:49, 29 August 2024 Pete talk contribs created page Money defined (Created page with "<h3>Money Defined U99</h3> This brings us to money and investment, a subject we’ve discussed before, but one that deserves a return to fundamentals. Let’s start by defining money as two things: 1) an IOU and 2) a claim on property. An IOU is simply a note that communicates a debt obligation. If Sally takes care of Brenda’s kids for 2 hours, Brenda could write Sally a note saying she did that and that she owes Sally two hours of her time. Sally now has a piece of...")

- 15:40, 29 August 2024 Pete talk contribs created page Money system based on ratings (Created page with "<h3>Introduction</h3> Last time we discussed the idea of paying workers in our ratings system with crypto and perhaps, more generally, paying people based on their ratings. Dan and Lem had the notion of doing away with money altogether and imagined a “gift giving” arrangement based on ratings. Lem elaborated on this idea in subsequent conversations with me. This is a fascinating idea. But since I am myself having difficulty seeing how such a moneyless system would...") Tag: Visual edit: Switched

An important one will be how much influence money will buy in a new democracy. According to [https://www.google.com/books/edition/Free_and_Equal/Hl7QEAAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=0 Chandler], in our present society, almost all policy that gets enacted only does so because the wealthy are behind it. In other words, if a policy is backed by ordinary people but not the wealthy, it <i>is not</i> enacted. If it is backed by t...") Tag: Visual edit: Switched

A community will need to aggregate opinion for policy-making (beyond the algorithmic), hold votes on issues, enforce bylaws, report on news, etc. Plenty of administrative effort will likely be needed over time to handle these tasks, even though the communi...")

One is locally produced and the other made in China. The locally produced one costs 3 times as much. I pick the one made in China even though I’m told to buy the locally produced item. This is much like buy American campaigns or calls to boycott products for some ideological reason. In all these cases the individual is asked to make a sacrifice for the common good. However, no one else has made a...")

We have constructed a Bayesian math framework to encapsulate this numerically. Let’s suppose we are trying to ascertain X’s need for a claimed item (in the SRBE/CRBE economy)....")

Using the system, people will rate each other's claims to economic goods based on multiple factors such as their productivity, needs, overall rating, etc. Since the ratings system has both a subjective and community version, we distinguish two types of economic system, the SRBE (Subjective Ratings Based Economy) and CRBE (Community Ratings Based Economy).

We could even argue that democratic systems can only survive if the polity is moderate, both in temperament and policy. A democratic majority that favors genocide, and then implements it, is not a democracy. Moderation means that people’s views tend to cluster around the mean and that they are wi...") Tag: Visual edit

In many ways, we are already living in a technocracy and have been for many decades. Government agencies, run by technocrats, have significant leverage over policy because broadly written laws often give them the granular authority to do so. The EPA, for instance is given a legal mandate to control the amount of pollution emissions in certain industries bu...") Tag: Visual edit

An example of this is college admissions, one that has a direct impact on the public, especially young people. Many high school students aim for the most competitive schools for which the admission rate might be less than 10%.

The debating, voting, and, by extension, policy making infrastructure is already there in the concept we have so far. It would seem that we could easily transform these elements into a government in which “the people” make and decide on policy details. The usual critique of direct democracy is that normal people don’t have the time or inclination to pass laws and make regulatory policy to enfo...") Tag: Visual edit

You want to know whether it is going to rain tomorrow. You don't know so you ask two knowledgeable sources this question. One of them believes it will rain with a probability of 60%. The other believes it will rain with a probability of 80%. We can sketch this situation as follows: You combine these probabilities using some aggregation technique. One such technique is Bayes' equation: Pcomb = 0.6*0.8/(0.6*0.8 + 0.4*0.2) = 0.857 An...") Tag: Visual edit

People choose to join them voluntarily and can leave them at will.
