Objective:
To successfully develop, and operate a FOR-PROFIT business entity that operates as an emergent computational device. Through a structured organization of people we will attempt to systematically alleviate many of the social challenges facing the human race, while generating profits for our shareholders. The major tenets of the project are the following:
- Structured in such a way as to optimize adaptation at every level throughout the organization.
- Maximize non-zero sum gains in every interaction, transaction, and relationship.
- Operate in an environment of 100% transparency.
- Encourage participation from the maximum number of individuals, in hopes that each individual will have a unique set of expertise, knowledge, and wisdom to bring to the organization.
- Internalize a democratic process for all high-level decision making (this would include having a bi-cameral congressional and senatorial board of directors, as well as an executive and legislative branch).
- Most importantly, systematically target problems that affect all of humanity, beginning with the problem of sustainability, and maximizing the carrying capacity of our home planet. This is in line with a long term vision of fulfilling Maslow's hierarchy of needs relative to the human race as a whole.
