Another one: Trump deploys the vax, Biden forces it on people.

Why not as long as the guarantees are solid. I’m not totally clear on how Nostr could replace the properties of a decentralized ledger but it certainly could play a role for uncensorable communications. Anyway, the direct democracy stack isn’t just one tech but the combination of many.

I’m not sure that most people tolerate those anymore and I bet you don’t know either. And the reason we don’t really know is because we don’t have the tools to measure this sentiment. At best, we have to rely on an organization doing a survey on the subject but can this organization be trusted? How can you know if this organization is bias or even worse corrupted? Most of the time you just can’t or at least not easily. Hence the necessity to deploy tools that will allow us to get an uncompromised sense of what people think or want.

The concept of democracy if often highly critized on Nostr but I think that many confound corrupted so-called democracies for what a democracy is supposed to be. I think it’s fair to say that most so-called democracy aren’t actually democracies and those that may have been at the beginning likely got corrupted over time. Even the concept of representative democracy goes against the nature of democratic principles. However, representative democracies were a necessity at a time where transportation and communication tech were slow or non existant. This is not the case anymore. True direct democracies are now achievable through a combination of various tech. I think it is the only governance model that will have a chance to compete against raising technocracies. I also totally understand the anarchist view which is to not want to be ruled by anyone whether it is one person or a majority of people. I tend to agree with this ideal but in practice a model of governance get established whether we like it or not and often times they are hard to ignore especially tween they lean towards authoritarianism. I still believe that a true direct democracy is likely be the less worst governance model but I’m curious of the arguments for anyone thinking otherwise.

This is an overgeneralization. Blockchains are a just a neutral tech, although many people use blockchains to run their scam. Democracies get captured because we never had the tools to implement direct democracies. This is changing. Anyway, the future will either lean towards technocracy or direct democracy, for me, the hopeful path is a no brainer.

Biden enables mass illegal immigration, Trump deploys the surveillance stack. Biden depletes the strategic petroleum reserve, Trump starts a war that results in oil shortage. I see a pattern here, one camp starts the job by creating the conditions that will allow the other camp to complete the job. These are not coincidences, they are meticulously planned ops that dilutes accountability across parties that seemingly act independently whereas in reality the same actors are coordinating them behind the scene.

It’s time to adopt direct democracy tech. Voting apps for which the votes if verifiable and uncompromisable can now be built through a combination of blockchain, ZK tech and electronic passports. Some citizen initiatives have started to launch which the aim to bypass the corruption of the current systems.
