Google has opened the competition called Project 10100 about new ideas that would change the world by helping as many people as possible. I applied with three projects that together pretty much define the basis of my system Humanism. This system will one day totally change the world and make it a wonderful place to be. Here are my proposals:
I. Humanism 1/3: Let’s build democratic anarchism
1. What one sentence best describes your idea? (maximum 150 characters)
The history of humankind is bad because it was made by fighting for privileges; when we end privileges we will get a good and sane society: Humanism
2. Describe your idea in more depth. (maximum 300 words)
I have invented a system of democratic anarchy. It is an extremely simple and powerful tool that gives every person equal legislative, judicial and executive powers in society. Each person will get the right to evaluate let’s say three people positively and three people negatively every month. Each positive assessment should automatically bring a small benefit, let’s say one dollar, to the assessed person. And any negative assessment will result in a punishment of the same form. What would we get? Such a small power in the people’s hands will make individuals respect each other strongly. It will direct each member of society to create the greatest possible conveniences to other people, and to diminish or abolish creation of all forms of disadvantages.
People will judge other people freely. That means an immoral person may evaluate other people dishonestly but it will not matter much because an individual power of one dollar cannot produce harm to anybody. Individuals will not have much power in society but their evaluations joined together will be very powerful. A person who receives a large number of negative evaluations would try hard to avoid doing anything inconvenient to other people. Besides, the person who receives bad evaluations would never know who has evaluated him negatively so that he would try to improve his behaviour towards everyone. As the result, bullies will not harass children at school any more, bosses will not abuse their employees at work, neighbours will not produce noise at night, salespeople will not cheat on their customers, politicians will not lie to people, etc. They will all try to please other people in the best possible way. This is what will take privileged powers from all the people; this is what will eliminate social evil and form a good society.
3. What problem or issue does your idea address? (maximum 150 words)
The system of democratic anarchy will especially affect authorities. The higher the position an authority has in society, the greater the responsibility he would bare to society. For example: The president of the US might get 100,000,000 bad evaluations from the American people and 1,000,000,000 from other people around the world for bad policies, lies, and for criminal aggressions on countries. That would cost him 1,100,000,000 dollars in only one month. On the other hand, I doubt that his supporters would certainly evaluate him positively because they might easily have higher positive evaluation priorities and would spend their positive evaluations elsewhere. Non-privileged presidents would not dare to perform bad policies any more. And if it happens somehow, they would run away from their positions very fast. Only the most skilful and brave individuals would dare to lead countries. They will not be authorities any more but our servants.
4. If your idea were to become a reality, who would benefit the most and how? (maximum 150 words)
Democratic anarchy can be tested immediately in countries that do not have strong privacy laws. All what is needed is a simple web application and good will. People will need to request the registration to the web site presenting their IDs. They will receive user-IDs and temporary passwords. Then each user will evaluate three people positively and three people negatively monthly by entering information about them into the web site. At the beginning there will not be any monetary awards or punishment involved. It cannot be performed before the governments and people formally accept democratic anarchy. However, the result will still be very affirmative. By searching the website, users may find the top positively and negatively evaluated people by country, city, company, name, etc. Nobody would like to be on the bad side of the evaluation. Such result will bring noticeable improvements to all the people in these countries.
5. What are the initial steps required to get this idea off the ground? (maximum 150 words)
Google’s fund, allocated to this project, can produce a profitable movie “Heaven”. The screenplay location is in the YouTube video. The movie is based on my ideas and presents the bright future of humankind through a very funny story. The movie is supposed to get huge public attention, which could put pressure on scientists to take my ideas seriously. Scientists should develop the system more. Then some political parties around the world might propose the new system to the people. Sooner or later some people will vote for such a party and accept democratic anarchy. Their parliament will establish the required laws, these people will try the new system, and that will start building humanism. The people will make their community a wonderful place to be. When the rest of the world recognises that, it will follow suit. The whole world will start building the bright future of humankind.
6. Describe the optimal outcome should your idea be selected and successfully implemented. How would you measure it? (maximum 150 words)
Democratic anarchy is actually the most powerful tool of justice ever. How come? The answer lies in time. There is a saying: “Silent water moves hills”. The permanent power of evaluation even with such a small power like one dollar will make people strongly respect each other. Human beings will become values. Everyone will try hard to please society in the best possible way. That will create a miracle no other tool of justice has ever been able to make. That will create a good and sane society.
In the future, the system of evaluation will probably abolish state laws, police, military force, and very states. Nobody will need them anymore. The measure of the success of my ideas will be a perfect society and everyone will recognise that. The world will become prosperous beyond the wildest dreams today; it will become paradise on earth.
7. You may also submit 1 YouTube video (max 30 seconds long) explaining your project.
