There was a question about how to handle conflicting priorities, ie low taxes vs. better schools. In the example last week we considered two policy families and showed how scoring each of them would work. We would pick the highest scoring policy family. Here, let’s show a more complete example and actually perform some op...") Tag: Visual edit

It’s a term normally, but not necessarily, applied to large communities with formal governmental structures (eg nation-states).

It contains alot of ideas and brainstorming about the high level vision as well as deep-in-the-weeds technical information about the system. The best way to start is by reading the Main page which provides some of the motivation for the project. Then move on to the rating system pages and delve into more details.")

The difference is that, contrary to how most counter-elites operate, the ratings system is unlikely to be a conduit to violence and, instead, should provide an organically growing movement which changes society over time.

The question can reasonably be asked, “How secure is the rating system against hacking/cheating?”, so this is written as a partial answer to that question. It is only a partial answer because “how sec...")

Smart people in the ratings system will have outsized influence. After all, we are hoping the ratings system will correctly identify those with talent and give them higher weight to influence society. So when they get things wrong, it’s important. One short answer we’ve looked at in the past: the ratings system gives people pause to examine th...")

If we had a post-scarcity moneyless society, then our relationship to property becomes less important in the first place.

One view is that the key to societal function, particularly in a democracy, lies in the relationship between the owning class and the working class.

It is the reason why we have gravitated toward a moneyless society, rules for income (or resource) distribution, and an emphasis on need as w...")
