Building Bridges
Since the times of Athenian democracy, we understood the importance
of the common man participating in the social momentum, and politics
of the time in which he lived. We can mobilize the people into the
biggest entity of all, and global information connection is the
way to do that. If done correctly, the Internet can be a productive
changing reflection of the articulated desires of the people through
their participation, and popular consensus.
Earth and the Internet
If we can start to compile all the greatest ideals, of the best
thinkers, then we can gain a world’s eye view of the universal
tendencies of the masses. Then, through accurate consensus, by popular
vote, the highly valued ideals will rise to the top of the list,
and the less valued ideals will remain at the bottom. Out of information
anarchy will rise an order. This order is born of an innate utility
to work toward civility in the interest of survival. The Internet
provides the perfect opportunity to compile a wide reaching database,
and let the universal tendencies come to the surface in their own
potentiality.
The
Website
The
website we are developing will attempt to draw people of different
ideals together in a cooperative collective. We will present a mechanism
that works in levels, and is ever changing within those levels to
meet the popular desire of the people. The people themselves will
submit the ideals to evaluate, and the people themselves will vote
to accept, or reject the ideals. The most popular ideals will rise
to the top, while other ideals will remain searchable. As times
and people change, their votes will change, and the ideology will
grow to reflect their desires. In the past, the people did not have
the technology to put together a purely mathematical unbiased mechanism.
When people can see the difference they make, in a completely transparent
system, their confidence in the system is confidence in themselves.
Sites like this one are just the beginning. It will take years to
develop this idea into the social structure the people need for
the future, but we will take the small steps now that will allow
us to open the gates, and walk into a different world of new ideas.
Understanding the Pyramid

Level
1-
This level deals with fundamental rules of civilization such as:
values regarding the taking of life between individuals, and the
taking of life in state sponsored events such as war
Level
2- This level deals with physical violence, and state sponsored
oppression such as aggravated assault, rape and torture not leading
to death, such as level one.
Level
3- This level deals with lesser crimes, such as theft or
minor disturbance not leading to physical harm.
Level
4- This level deals with sensitive social issues, like:
selfless sacrifice, selfishness, and social interaction, not leading
to physical harm, or any crimes in levels 1,2 or 3.
Open
Level- This is where all the general submissions will be
received, and voted on. The most popular submissions will rise to
the top, and be considered for inclusion in the upper four levels,
while the other ideas will remain searchable. This level will resemble
information anarchy. Submissions will be uncontrolled, and integrity
at this low level is compromised.
Understanding
the Mechanism
Imagine having a voice in the control, and order, of the life in
which you live. This voice does not guarantee that you will be able
to change things exactly the way you want, but it will give you
a traceable voice that you can see in a mathematical difference.
If you support an ideal in your profile, and during some studies,
you decide that you no longer support that ideal, you can simply
go to your profile and change your mind. The statistical calculations
of the popularity of that ideal will change instantly, and the articulation
of your electronic stand will be known instantly. When searching
the database for statistical information on certain ideals, we can
see if support is waxing or waning, according to popular consensus.reat,
and good individuals and harnesses the power of competition to refine
Conclusion
There are many moderate
people who just want to live content and satisfactory lives, in
utilitarian ideals, hoping that others may live their lives out
in content and satisfactory ways also. It is in the people’s
best interest to mobilize globally under ideals they support directly
in majority. While this website will only try to capture the imaginations,
and popular will of English speaking people at this time, I can
only hope that it will grow in a way to encompass an international
consensus, and be a focal point for building bridges to a peaceful
future.
