Our aim is to reduce the gap between the segment of users traditionally associated with being a creator or author, and the market economy concept of the consumer of the service or user. Our focus is on the author, and we seek to make more users authors.
# Why
Our main motive for doing this is with regard to participative governance. We believe that the future is better, stronger, more reslient and most definitely more creative - when the qulity of governance is improved.
Our thesis is that the more people we have putting time, effort and resources into improving the quality of our governance (that is our decision making) - the better the quality of the result.
# The problem While we are also concerned with the quality of governance, we are equally if not more concerned with the quantity of thought and effort put into improving it. The overiding concern is the stasis. Governance is not improving, while the things we need to govern are growing exponentially. That is dangerous. Dangerous to life.
# The strategy Our strategy is based on recognising some fundamental realities. You can call these realities threats (or if you wish), opportunities depending on the lense you choose to view them through.
- The DNA of Governance is Digital. The first acknowledgment is that the future of governance, that is of legal forms, company structures, institutional decision making, accounting, finance and so forth - all these things are either already digital or rapidly becoming digital - they were written on stone, then paper and now in software. This is good and it is bad.
- The Future of Law is Performative
