/me inserts the "You're proposing a software solution to a social problem" copypasta form

Seriously, if the coordination problem you've identified isn't solved by the instantaneous global communications tech that we've had for between thirty and a hundred years (depending on how you count), it's a people problem that's not going to be solved by more tech. Notice how everything except maybe steps six and three in your plan require people to agree on the nature of the problem, whether it is a problem that even should be solved, and how many resources to commit to solving it. Getting people to agree to solve problems that need to be solved -even in the cases where solving those problems makes them personally worse off- is the blocker. Your use of shiny new software tools does nothing to remove that blocker.

Perhaps. What would you suggest? Other than your obvious, just vote for Trump yell MAGA and claim everything is great.

No, definitely.

> What would you suggest?

Unironically? Either:

* Mind control.

* Refusing to permit anyone who will enrich themselves at the expense of others to serve as a public servant.

But both seem somewhere between impractical and impossible, so the only workable thing is taking the "Eternal vigilance is the price of Liberty" quote to heart and banding with like-minded fellows to make a world where everyone can spare the time and effort required to keep abreast of what the bastards in charge are doing and keep them from making our world worse to uplift themselves and their friends.

		Well, given the state of things; this seems to be working out great for you and I wish you the best of luck there. > No, definitely. I'm glad you are so confident but I have achieved actual outcomes; you are just posting on a forum and waiting for mind control. Respectfully, my way is more fun.
