"Online forums and social media have changed the way campaigns and political groups are able to disseminate ideas and communicate with one another. But what they’ve been less good at is more empathy-building forms of engagement, namely those that require deliberation and consensus."

Now we're talking direct democracy! This needs further exploration.

I have written part of a proposal for a digital liquid representation system. I would be very grateful it anyone here who might use such a system would let me know what their requirements would be so I can write a well-informed technical proposal.

Another brilliant video from Then & Now on the history of the internet from it's conception as a publicly funded Cold War tool to the early communities and to the present day surveillance dystopia we live in.

I think it's a tragedy that one of the greatest innovations since the printing press was sold off on the dime to these overlords. The deep conviction these people have for market monopolies and their desire to subject what little democracy we have makes them so incredibly dangerous. This video also does a good job in recognizing the strengths and weaknesses of open source while presenting the ideas which can be used to stimulate it.

My latest OpEd - on the of and 's need for a serious digital solution.

Because let's be honest, it's a complete mess, and it's only getting worse.

"We need a decent digital identity to do ‘virtually’ everything. With a lot more to come. Something I have a right to, that can’t be revoked and that I can take with me and use wherever I go."

Around 40:30 you hear Thomas Friedman (NYT) giving his view on the damage Social Media has done to democracy over the past 10 years.

"What these technologies and Social Media do is they make inefficient authoritarians really very efficient, and they make democracies ungovernable."
