Game Theory - 6

Life is one of those things that happens at every scale. Monsanity provides anti-life at this scale and has to be stopped. The criteria is non-negotiable - all genetic engineering in agriculture must stop, immediately. Arrests must stop the willful degradation of the eco-system - there is no game of control here. We cannot foul our nest any longer.

The Gulf oil spill needs to be capped and cleaned up. The idea that if we ignore it it will go away is a joke. The idea that the solution to pollution is dilution is that our oceans have dead zones off the mouths of rivers. Commerce at the expense of the chemical exchange that keeps earth in atmosphere is insanity. If corporations are people, the time has come to lock Monsanity up in virtual jail. Accountability occurs in a meritocracy - economics has no role. How can we divorce the idea of accounting from the ability to do exchange without the bean-counter exacting his toll for the overlords?

The base would have to decouple work from the ability to live. This would be a good thing, in that we really do not have enough work to go around. If only the people that had something they wanted went to work to - then work would turn into an effective means of getting things done, rather than a means of occupying our time.

If you need resources for your work, there could be an assembly of thirteen people called the committee of the whole. You take your work proposal to this set of diverse people, chosen at random from the populace, and you must convince one of them to agree that the idea has merit. The process is the converse of 'consensus minus one'. If 'idea plus one', then you get unlimited access to the resources you need to develop your idea, including labor - which gets educated in how to enact the idea as an exchange part of the process. Essentially, everybody is empowered to do what they want, kept at a minimum basic lifestyle plus whatever they earn, based upon whatever they learn.

School would be optional, but verified credentials would be necessary to achieve the level of access that the individual desires. Each and every field that calls itself a profession already has its order sorted out to deal with its own brand of chaos. Each of these areas will take on apprentices and teach them communication in the language of the field.

We currently have a tower of babel called english, where word smyths can make anybody believe anything by techniques like persuasion, let's allow each field sovereignty within their field. Stakeholders apply for membership to a 'group' and again one person is required for agreement for membership.

Tracking performance must be done from the perspective of indifference. If the person doing the tracking has any motive within the group, the data is biased. Sports works because the performance criteria goes beyond the ability to manipulate the statistics - the number of games is too great to affect the over-all outcome. Baseball is purest because 162 games provide statistical significance - which is a concept that the movie Moneyball just ingrained in the public purview. The greater the number of measurements - n - the better the tracking criteria.

I believe we would be much better off if we could eliminate all time based criteria. The concept of time in engrained in science as the form of both derivatives and integrals. The mathematics in calculus revolves about the use of dt - taken over time. Our concept of time is dead wrong at this point and we have warped our vision of time/space by missing the point on how time works. It is a probability with infinite absolutism - time happens. How it happens is another story.
