I just wanna make the world a more magical place by building better futures, destroying hierarchies, and designing technologies that empower every day people.

Simple.
Idk my 'most woke' but here's a few:

Everyone should be able to birth children.

Binary gender and sexuality are foolish.

Nuclear families should be abandoned in favor of creches.

Single family housing should be largely abolished.

Cars are perverted.

Money is a scam.

Tech should be magical.

Finally, if this tool can also show the impact of services paid for by taxes (such as how healthcare drastically reduces hospital costs, or how mass transit is more efficient and accessible than car dependency) that can also go a long way in making us all better capable of making said decisions.

I think if we can create something that tracks where your money goes, and allows you to decide where to allocate said taxes, that would fix a lot.
Such a system could also be used to stop corruption since it would be much harder to steal/misallocate funds if everyone can see where taxes are going.

Hello! Idk you but I think about this a lot. If I can chime in here, I think a big problem (besides all the rampant corruption and corporatism) is that there's little to no transparency or agency about how taxes work or where the money goes.

Criminal that these logging mafia folks get to do this with little to no social cost. At the very least, we need to name and shame them!!

How can we identify those who have a hand in this, and what else can we do to stop this from the source?

Both suppliers and buyers need to be scrutinized!!

It's sad but also understandable. I've felt that frustration feeling like you're unable to make the art you want. AI seems like it's a much lower barrier to entry.

Unfortunately, even ethics and sustainability aside, it's not exact enough for me. Its far too limiting with what you can create.

Hello! I still want to work on it! There's a public trello board where I put the design doc and other things I need help with here: cryptpad.fr/kanban/#/2/k...

Laws*! 😂😅

That works too, tbh, but that's a whole nother conversation...

Finally, breaking said rules should always come with consequences no matter the status of the individual, but should be decided in a rejuvenative and solution-oriented manner rather than a punitive one.

Alternatively, we could create and practice a plurality of governance systems that only can be made and applied to local communities who made said rules.

These can still interoperate to create large scale agreements based on federated principles.

They should be regularly reviewed by all involved.

Yes indeed!! There's been an awesome rise in people caring about walkability and such, even in my city that's far too car dependent.

If people don't bring it up organically, I'll definitely float the idea!
September 7, 2025 at 3:43 PM
Absolutely love these questions!! Thanks so much!!

I'll let y'all know how it goes. Hopefully can start today, or next week at the latest.

And always work to eliminate the bad rather than accepting, excusing, or ignoring it.

Because for many of us, the bad is almost always targeted towards us and the good is often at our expense or not considering our needs.
