Latest Not So Monthly Email

So you probably noticed these monthly emails are far from monthly, well I am sorry, but don't expected that to change.

 

The conversation has started.

 

World democratic systems are starting to be a hot topic, Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook are now in the game, and our new competition.

Stephen Hawking says we must have a worldwide system of some kind, or else!

 And "The global challenges foundation" says we must build some kind of system, and they put their money where their mouth is, offering up $5 million!

We have entered this contest and to our knowledge at this point we do not know of any other plan that fits the criteria of a world democratic system, and one that can be implemented in less than a decade. It shall be very interesting to see what new things develop out of this contest. You can find our first and second draft for the contest entry by going to our subreddit, 

r/buildingyourupinion.

 

Let's hedge our bets.

 

There are no guarantees in life, and considering our proposal is coming at this foundation from extreme left field, we better cover our bases by gathering public support, this will show them we have the neutral trusted system the people want.

 

We have been having some good results on the local level which I would like to explore further, Roy, who is from our inner circle of supporters, suggested using an app called Meetup.

 

In my local city of Edmonton we had 30 people signed up for our first meeting, 10 people showed up, and eight of them expressed a willingness to continue with further meetings. our next meeting is scheduled for April 1.

 

I would like to find other individuals willing to host meetings using this meetup app. At the moment I believe I am the most convincing individual to promote this system, therefore I would like to attempt to conduct these meetings via Skype on the hosts laptop.

 

By conducting these meetings with Skype the host will only have to concern themselves with setting up a time and location, the meetup app will find participants, and I will conduct the meeting, this should be very simple and efficient.

 

So in closing, I would encourage anyone who is willing to set up a meeting to contact me, and if anyone wants to participate more, and join our inner circle of influence, please contact me as well.

 

Thank you again to everyone who has joined our email list, your support will be remembered by me as long as I live, and may eventually be documented as the beginning of a new era! 

 

All the best,

  Brian Charlebois.

Feb 25 2017 Meeting

So here's a quick rundown of our meeting.

First I would like to say that we are planning another meeting in approximately one month, we will have new people show up a half hour early to review some of what we went through at this meeting.

I won't go into too much detail here but it all seemed to go pretty well, we had 10 people show up, and most people are interested in continuing. The next meeting will focus on marketing, with some more time for questions and ideas.

Most of what you need to know of the plan is on our website and there's an introductory video there as well. At this last meeting I spent most of the time discussing the history that brings this up till now, which I will repeat at the beginning of the next meeting.

The big news is, up till now it has been difficult to get people on the topic of changing democracy, it's even harder when we are talking about a worldwide system, but now there are two new players in the game.

The global challenges foundation of Stockholm Sweden has announced a contest, its offering $5 million for a plan to install world democracy, we are entering.

Mark Zuckerberg has announced plans to develop a means for world democracy with Facebook.

So now we have a goal to win our funding, and we have a competitor who is helping to bring about discussion, but at the same time they're providing us with an example that we can be compared with.

Facebook is a corporation, we will be a transparent and publicly owned institution. We will have the superior system and the moral high ground.

I encourage you to have a look at our website and video if you have not already, and I look forward to meeting you at the next meeting which should be scheduled shortly.

I'm providing you with a link to our website, and the link to the contest, and a link to an article about Mark Zuckerberg's open letter.

I am a 51-year-old husband and father of three teenagers.

The flow of ideas


 The free flow of opinions and ideas will build to become a torrent.  No one can predict where the next Earth shaking idea will come from, perhaps it could be from a 14 year old teenager, it could be from anywhere.
There will also be vast amounts of unusable information. But like the fabled Phoenix, once in a while, a long lost opinion will be plucked from oblivion because it speaks for the masses.

If you want to solve inequality.
Give the people more power, and use a larger base to pull ideas from.

If you want solutions for global warming,Give the people more power, and use a larger base to pull ideas from.

do you want to solve world hunger,Give the people more power, and use a larger base to pull ideas from.
etc. etc. etc.
