Imagine there was a social medium, similar to Facebook, but not programmed to use our data to fuel excitement and consumption, but instead to optimally organize our coexistence; a platform on which everything that is reported daily in the daily news, the newspaper or on the Internet and has been decided in the parliament up to now, can be discussed and voted on by all of us on an equal footing, instead of leaving it to professional politicians and lobbyists. Imagine how we, initially unsure about this new responsibility, usually prefer to leave the decisions to the veteran experts, but how we then find our way into the context and develop a political sense of responsibility. Imagine how we enter our shopping lists on the Internet and then exactly what we need is produced and delivered without overproduction and shortages. Imagine how we reorganize our working life every day in such a way that nobody would be forced to do the same job over and over again for eight hours a day; how instead we only have to do a few non-automatable jobs and otherwise can mainly indulge in our hobbies. Imagine, we can freely choose our apartments; for example, early risers could live with their peers as well as party people, nature lovers or city dwellers. Imagine if this principle of daily co-decision and self-organization would also apply worldwide; all natural resources on land and water no longer belong to individual corporations or countries, but to all people equally. Imagine how much money will be released today for wars, borders and other isolation systems after we had decided by majority to eliminate the worst abuses and give everyone access to clean drinking water, sufficient food, clothing, housing and electricity as quickly as possible and Internet access will have enabled. Imagine how a few dozen super-rich, who still own as much as the rest of humanity today, also benefit from the new justice because they no longer have to constantly fear that everyone else is only after their possessions. Imagine if there was a petition (which we could well call a world mind ) that would bring about such self-government through simple algorithms that determine people's needs and make majority decisions according to the principle of equality, as soon as enough of us (i.e. the majority) have signed it and passed it on. Oh look, it already exists: Imagine: Further development of democracy So what are we waiting for?
