yeah, the biometric thing gives a lot of libertarians/anarchists a knee-jerk reaction, but the thing is, your legal name doesn't have to be attached. the idea is to make a system where anyone can register, but only once. do you have any ideas on this?

It’s not a knee jerk reaction, I don’t think. I’m just not clear on the purpose. What would individuals be registering for, specifically?
the idea is that anyone can register, but only once. the only way i can think to do that is with biometrics. i'm open to new ideas.
project vishnu allows for multiple people (everyone potentially) to build "trees" kind of like github. it allows them to work out their own versions of utopia. you'd probably not want to work on the socialist tree that's being discussed, but would maybe enjoy working on the anarchist tree.
what would justice look like on your tree? bartering? land property for future generations? all of this would be discussed with the rest of the people on your tree. if you absolutely disagree with that tree, you can spin off and continue your own.
eventually, the crowd sourcing will evolve different thought exercises to test your theories and your tree.
society can then use these new models and create their own communities and see if they work in real life.
there is no more reason to argue that socialism or capitalism is good or bad. you can just let them play out and adjust from there.
The idea is very cool. Like all others, though, it’s selling the concept to the programmed that is the real problem to be overcome, in my view. Once the philosophical foundation is in place, I can see projects such as this being huge. Sadly a lot of folks still think violence is the way to get plans accomplished. I hope your project changes some minds man, and wish you the best. If I can think of any ways to alter or enhance the concept I will definitely let you know. Good luck!
oh, and the reason for the registering is so that individuals can't dominate the space. one person can't create 2k sockpuppets and artificially influence the tree
