I haven't yet watched the video, since I have to read the subtitles and couldn't read your post at the same time, but I like the ideas you conveyed about it. From your description, it sounds like a great thing.
"...I’m trying to get away from what I term “jailhouse talk”..."
I also try to do this. For this reason I avoid the word citizen, because that is someone that is subject to a polity. I don't think sovereign people are subjects. We may live in polities, because various gangs have seized political power over the places we live, but that doesn't mean we actually should consider ourselves subjects.
I also find that rather than attempting to use the tools our enemies have used against us, we should organize our efforts per the best needs of our people. Overlords love institutions, because they can use the institutional hierarchies to multiply their power. However, we sovereign civilians may find non-hierarchical organizations better fit our needs. My experience is that we aren't well suited to being slaves of masters, and I know of no one I would like to serve as a slave to, and call them master. So, institutions and hierarchical organizations aren't anything I am interested in. P2P networks are a far better model for what I would like to be part of, and that is how I actually associate IRL.
Now I will watch the video, and will add any further considerations in an edit to this comment.
Thanks!
I noted my above comment was also iterated in the video by the speaker. He talks about a goodwill bank, in which the Solaris participants have goodwill for the network that they are willing to provide services for, and the network in turn has goodwill for it's members, who are provided services when they need them. This is basically how I live now. I provide services for local folks who I try to convince to keep their money. What I want more is their goodwill. When my rent is due, my phone bill, I need groceries, I let folks I have goodwill banked with know and they then cover those expenses or provide the goods I need. I see the Solaris network doesn't do this economic function, but that it could certainly grow to be able to do that as that growth encompasses service providers that have rentals, cell towers, and markets. These exchanges don't have to be numerated, and certainly not assigned dollar (or euro, BTC, whatever) values, but can just be exchanged based on the goodwill folks have accrued with the network. As this network grows it will encounter freeloaders, as all networks do. When these parasites are identified they can simply be excluded from the network, perhaps not permanently if they become valuable contributors.
I like the structure, as he described it, horizontal and not hierarchical, and without leaders. This is exactly what I think best suits a network of sovereigns, which is also a word he used to describe the participants.
I like the description of Solaris I have seen so far, and would like to see it here.
I overstand what you mean about citizens as subjects and it tracks, however people are so generally devalued they don't even align with even that term. They move and think like livestock and I used it as a galvanising term to raise awareness and value. If you go too advanced too quickly people will wholesale reject concepts of sovereignty of person. These are alien concepts to people who've been indoctrinated and internalised servility and devaluation. You, I and others who have actively raised their self-value, self-love and self-care get it and have reclaimed their sovereignty and empowerment. Once this transition occurs the broken system, gangsters and their impositions all become unacceptable. We can't run before we learn to walk and many are still just waking out of their comas.
