Political System for Real Democracy
We explore here all possible versions of a theoretical system where citizens decide on -at least the important- issues. How do we avoid corruption? How do we ensure that the same oligarchs don't take over? If you're going to present your theory, acknowledge the already posted theories and point out what the common ground and the differences are. Avoid reproducing the same theory with different words. That is extremely counterproductive. Reach out to similar theorists and find how to rephrase your versions with the help of AI, so that the text covers both. Then, branch out the variations that you find.

Religion, Spirituality, Agnosticism
Please write respectfully. Understand the difference between belief and position. Don't try to proselytize or 'save souls' here. Not everyone is required to believe in your position.

The Environment And Life On the Planet
Discussion of what is going on, how fast and what are our options. Posts from articles and social media welcomed. If you believe that the scientific consensus that climate change is caused by humans is a conspiracy, please refrain from attacking anyone that doesn't share your belief. Dissent of opinion is encouraged, but behavior is crucial here. Show your proof instead of trying to drive your belief forward.

Changes we Want to See / Picking Priorities
In our collective, your actions are rewarded!
Actions build social capital. Social capital builds potential.
eg: You fill out your profile or a form. Your ideas in a forum receive upvotes. You moderate a discussion. You form a group in your city. You trade services in your Timebank. You participate in an event. People you invite join the Platform. Your social media post goes viral. You contribute to a crowdfund. You make a tax-exempt contribution to our charity, and so on.
Some actions open to work opportunities. Taking a fun class and passing an exam on conflict resolution or on campaigning will earn you a level of a badge, but it may also make you a candidate for a paid administrative position.
Some actions will earn you a Bit, a fraction of our (future) Crypto coin ‘Social Horizon’, focused on equitable wealth distribution. Through that you may build your retirement plan, if you need one.
You will be receiving challenges to earn different forms of rewards. You will be building reputation and wealth. So, make sure you are an active member of your local and national charters of the Platform. Let’s jump in! 
“Godwin’s Law”: “As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches”.
If you’re a fan of Startrek, you know it can 🙂
Our competitive conditioning has us believe that every person has a different opinion on a matter.
