Thomas Jefferson said we need a structural revolution every 250 years. I think it would be great if people voted every week or so using a journaling app like reflect, wordpress or substack.
It used to take months to send a message across the country, now it takes 20ms.
"The only purpose of incremental improvement to a status quo is to reveal its flaws. Progress occurs when the status quo is replaced." - Thomas Kuhn Structure of scientific revolutions

8000 GPUs can read 8 billion blogs in 13 hours

if everyone writes weekly, then thats like an open ended vote that AI companies can use to synthesize a plan that can be used to orchestrate more happiness for all life forms.
-
100% unanimous consensus ensures that everyone is happy with the plan. if everyone doesnt like then we can subdivide into focus groups that discuss the plan and make changes together.
-
we can use simulators to visualize edits to the system and understand how they affect the system.
Simulation before implementation
proposal → model → simulation → public visualization → critique → limited experiment → measurement → revision → deployment
AI can help humans find common ground in democratic deliberation. Mushrooms also help people find common ground. Done together more people find more commonality which makes more friendships. Mushrooms can make everyone friends with each other. This reduces conflict and increases systemic cooperation between nations.

- Everyone deserves a therapist - this helps prevents things we dont want and makes more accessible things we want over a long period of time
What we Need
- more research and development funding especially for things like higher resolution diagnostics or sensors
- next generation pharmaceuticals made by innovative spatial computing platforms like dynamicland
- lower legal latency supported by 100% unanimous consensus - weekly voting
- psychedelics legalized in every country
- Dynamicland in every city can add 200 billion to the global economy which can pay for UBI.
Every change has: who proposed it why evidence who objected what changed what happened Government becomes much easier to understand.

Greater legitimacy to make hard choices
Reduce adversarialness and improve cooperation
Precedent
- Switzerland → citizen-initiated constitutional amendments
- Iceland + Chile → participatory constitutional drafting
- Ireland → representative citizen deliberation
- Polis / vTaiwan → listening to populations at scale
- Habermas Machine → AI-mediated synthesis
- CrowdLaw / Decidim / CONSUL → collaborative digital lawmaking
- Git / Legalize → transparent version-controlled law
- OECD agile governance → testing, measurement and iteration
- International IDEA → constitutional legitimacy and process design.
Modern technology may make it possible for constitutional deliberation to become continuous while constitutional enactment remains deliberate, rights-protecting, auditable and stable.
100% unanimous consensus
The design of this blog if implemented help prevent unnecessary involuntary suffering. This means a system that is more fair for everyone.
