The AGI Protocols
When looking at various industries today there is a stark contrast between those with standardized metrics for quantifying quality, risk, and efficiency compared to industries where a lack of standards has generated pseudo-scientific metrics dominated by marketing departments rather than any verifiable and objective values. In many cases marketing departments go so far as to…

A New Kind of Governance, ‘Transhuman’ Governance… (A Proposal)

For example one of the problems with democracy is that it is impractical to have an absolute democracy on a large scale. Every decision doesn’t scale…
