“The world is long overdue for a completely new system of governance.”
“If there was ever a need for political representation … it has been removed by technology.”
“Every political system we have tried has devolved into oligarchy.”
“Democracy is a universally failed concept … because the ideas were flawed to begin with.”
“A pure direct democracy is a pure tyranny of the majority.”
“The first right of any person … must be the right to communicate.”
“Without communication there is no way to safeguard our other rights …”
“[Ideas should be] evaluated and fact checked on their own merits …”
“Bad data can come from good places and vice versa.”
“We can’t eat the economy.”
“All of society’s problems which could be solved by money were caused by money.”
“Corporate ownership of our communication tools will cause us to yet again relinquish control to a landlord.”
