Its ready for you to spend .00000001 bitcoin to vote (we'll count by people, not by money, which will require a decentralized web of trust as I'll explain below), as the existing Bitcoin and optionally Bittorrent for uploading and voting on files whenever it starts working again. We get to include any 20 bytes in a Bitcoin address. Here's 1 where...

This is a plan to solve a big problem everyone on Earth will soon have if we don't start working on a solution. The solution I'm looking for is technical but can quickly be calculated with pen and paper. Its a way of us observing eachother and keeping track of who can and can't be contacted, to make sure the reasons for anyone's unexpected...

Everyone gets as few or as many votes as they want. Nobody needs to be identified because there is no limit on how many votes each person can create. How could such a system work? Why wouldn't people just vote millions of times? They may, but that won't give them more influence. Its not about the number of votes. Its about the patterns of...

I know why there is a square root of -1 in the quantum physics equations, why things are waves sometimes and particles other times, why the double-slit experiment works, why there are bell-curves in quantum physics, and why time exists. Start with nothing. Then divide the nothing into X number of possible states of the universe (ways the...

In Buddhist philosophy, desire and mental attachment are what keeps you stuck here on Earth, but I have a much easier way to explain it. There are many philosophies I think are mostly true. Anyone can do this. In 2002 for a few months, I had it a small amount, compared to most people who rarely have it enough to notice it exists. Then because...

Going by the standard of supply and demand, a Human life is worth as much as it costs to save the cheapest Human life, unless some people are worth more than others. I asked how much it costs to save the cheapest million Human lives on average in and indirectly explained how peoples' actions and what they think it costs contradict. Here is...

They are becoming the same subject through unusual experiments. In recent years, some of the subjective experiences and things that were believed on faith are being scientifically proven. We now know that thinking certain things can directly cause other things to change from thousands of miles away. We're not sure why it happens, but we know it...

The sticker network is a network made with wirelless stickers. Control over the internet leads to a new form of independent network: the sticker network.

What if the revolution doesn't need a name? Or leaders? Or a formal agenda? The most wonderful thought could be this: shit happens. Perhaps this is a uniquely Australian idiom, perhaps not - and I don't wish to offend with profanity, we Australians swear a lot, and this phrase has even been used by a Parliamentarian in a memorable impromptu...

Words themselves are becoming antiquated.
