I like your 80/20 “Goldilocks Ratio” … as it makes a lot of sense. At Aristaeus.Club we are using 9/13 = .692 to govern because 1/3 of the people of the world are willing to participate in evil… they don’t get a say in governance.

I will check that out. As to the notion that 1/3 of the people don't get to govern, I find that a faulty idea. Who decides what that 1/3 is? And why get in the way of "cause and effect"? In a totally free society where every sovereign has equal voice, they will work out who to keep away from. And with freedom of speech, they can alert others by identifying the ones that harmed them. That means you can too, and if your reputation is good (indicated by a rating system) then people will ostracize the said person. This gives those with the right reputation more credibility and there could even be a currency based on the issuance of that sovereign's rating. The thing is we need a system that gives us all the data. We can't just have shadowy figures making decisions. Everything will be for a reason and it will give the best people the recognition that they should get. Rather now, everyone is painted with the same brush and there is no knowledge of trustworthy vs untrustworthy people and this is what gives refuge to psychopaths. Living in the open will expose psychopaths who shun the light. There will be very little need for prisons too.

Thank you so very much for your feedback.

The design of Aristaeus.Club will be very flexible for the first 13 truth telling gold club members. Once the 13 truth tellers get the club designed then they vote on the design. If 9 of the 13 members decide to open the club up to others, then they do.

The idea would be to make it easy and free to join the club so that it became a numerous force for The People to understand the world and promote knowledge and truth.

The club members have access to true information so those who want to be informed know what the club considers to be true.

There will be a truth page … 2 + 2 = 4 truth, facts, weights, measures, word definitions, standards, etc.

There will be a theory page … maybe Nixon really did talk to the man on the moon on TV. Maybe?

There will be an untrue page … Oswald was a lone gunman who killed our president. Not true.

The first 13 club members design the club rules.

Other than that vote, the club gets to change it however they want after discussion. Only truth tellers get to be the first 13.

When, I learned that Murray N. Rothbard lied about a dead man… Abraham Lincoln I was shocked. I was an anarcho-capitalist. Now that I know Rothbard, the godfather of anarcho-capitalism cant be trusted, then we will not allow controlled opposition into the original design of the club.

I am personally a fan of Henry George’s Land Tax. I need to know more about it but at first it seems like the right way to produce equity based on effort. Land reform would be one question that the club should seek truth for a truly free society.

Freedom of speech is paramount. Aristaeus.club should try to get the communications satellites into the control of The People somehow.

We are a fan of hemp currency. We own IndustrialHempSupply.com and will be launching that website this coming year… hopefully… it is in the design stage right now.

I like the reputation idea… but moreso on character. If a person’s reputation accurately measures their character, then it could be measured.

Yes, all the true data should be kept forever and shared with everyone who wants it. Transparent. Static dictionary, I like the etymology of words, static standards of weights and measures… like you discussed above.

I like your ideas. A lot of people do not even know the difference between the truth and a lie. Liars make fools out of whoever believes it. I was a fool for falling for Rothbardian philosophy.

Few if any prisons. They might be a necessary evil… IDK. But no one should have the right to kill another.

"20. Our adage is that Time is Life and that Life is Art. We repudiate the idea that time is money."

Our definition of money is value earned from labor using their resources.

A potato is money because it takes time and labor to grow one. Art is money. For us money is earned by our time therefore valuable and rewarding. A book, a blog are monies. How one spends and trades one's time is voluntary, yet if someone wants to pay them for their time, they pay them in money. For instance, a carpenter's skill is valuable for the carpenter. If someone wants the carpenter to build a barn, then the carpenter can trade it for potatoes or gold or to whatever they agree.

Lincoln said, "It is an old maxim and a very sound one, that he that dances should always pay the fiddler.” Makes sense to us.

I love your comment! Yes - "payment" is either appreciation for a job well done, or something offered for work you need done on your project. If we ask someone to do a job for us, then we need to give them a record of recognition. That record of recognition then becomes a currency, numbers traded that represent a value, such as time. The current money system is deliberately convoluted to enable the ghouls to fleece the innocent.

I enjoyed your article and looking forward to going through it more as time permits. I am with you on so many of these principles. I too am looking at land reform. I am looking along the lines of Henry George's land tax, but I don't really know enough about it yet to understand it very well.

Great article.

Thanks

Thanks I appreciate your compliment of the article and glad you found it worthwhile. There are not many people who will look "outside the box" of the usual structures like the money system and political system. Some of us are arranging talks that discuss a new exchange system (currency) - a digital as well as cash system made from hemp with the idea of kicking off a hemp economy as well. If you are interested and know others who are, you are most welcome to join the talks. Let me know and I will send contact details.
