Blast from the Past

in #linux2 years ago (edited)

@satoshi0x just reminded me of my older version of Makemoney Knotwork, which was at that time focussed on the idea of a "GNU Makemoney project". In fact the site's header at that time was "Make Money Knotwork: Toward a GNU 'make money'".

It came up because that main front page of Makemoney Knotwork linked to my "spoof" page about a "Total Automation Project" aimed at automating the process of making money.

I have been exploring "the Internet Computer" the last little while, and it strikes me it would be a great platform for the project, heck the "spoof" kind of describes the Internet Computer project as well as or better than it describes Linux. :)

Sort:  

Programmable monies, social rating scores and a capped UBI should automate making an income in a way. So long as you tow the line of course. That is the part that urks me.

The technology of how we can provide governance to the planet seems at a crossroad to me. One cannot put that tech back in the bottle. It, seems, more a matter of whether or not it will be used to free or to imprison the world's population.

Bitcoin has always seemed a very political thing to me. It takes a natural human characteristic, greed, and makes it work. Governance might use some of that same style of Bitcoin in its own processes as we burn up turns in this Risk style end game.

Having a scheme for an income which did not require a social credit score, digital id or fiat currency would be a wonderful parallel system which should help decentralize the use of those technologies.

Bring it! :)
