Kansas Nerd Uses Net To Shake Up Political Fundraising
ghostlibrary sends a note about Sean Tevis, an information architect in Kansas, who is running for state representative with the help of an xkcd lookalike cartoon and grassroots Net-based fundraising. Tevis had garnered more than 6,000 contributions, most of them small, from around the country, far out-fundraising his opponent. Major news outlets have picked up the story as a harbinger of 21st-century Net-based political campaigning. Reader ghostlibrary adds, "As a bonus, Tevis cites xkcd intentionally (rather than just ripping it off without crediting it) and, well, it's actually funny."
Once again, /. is right there, breaking news, reprinting from Digg 3 weeks late.
Seriously, this is a month old. I gave him $10 back in July.
Just like the Gun and Gun powered transformed humanity and the balance of power then and brute force was replaced with economic force. The new force and kid on the block is collective intelligence and collective intent. The Internet is ushering in a new mind age the next phase of evolution.
Collective Control with individual sovereignty made possible by flash communication and the crème rising to the top by word of link and a mouse click.
I am not a communist, socialist, or capitalist.
I am a Universalist.
The aforementioned systems eventually create imbalance because of their inherent flaws. All of them allow a few to have a disproportionate advantage and to usurp wealth from others without making a genuine value contribution. They are plagued by ego impediment which stifles efficiency and evolution. All three can be used to disguise an oligarchy and create the appearance or illusion of a government for the people by the people.
Universalism is what some might label or describe a hybrid of the above systems. It is unique in that the systems design has engineered the ego impediments out of the system and allows for an integrated perspective, policy, and effort.
The source disconnected ego is like a plague and cancer in a social system especially when inadvertently given power. One of the primary features of the Universal System is that it helps to create a source connection.
The main disadvantage to the Universal System of Government is that it requires advanced technology and communications. This is why in planetary societal development the other systems arise first as part of the evolution and they often work fitting for the level of consciousness, much actually depends on the individuals empowered to run them. and assigned to represent the various interests. The effects of the flaws in these systems actually provide the impetus to evolve them into the universal system when the level of technology becomes advanced enough which it now has.
The Universal Government is really a bunch of independents working as one and doesn't require party divisions although there can be group affiliations with specific intentions or specializing in special areas of focus.
One of the outstanding attributes of Universalism is that it does not maintain self dividing labels; the only labels that it uses are those that define relationships not those used to divide.
There are parties in this form of government, social gatherings for social intercourse.
Your mission as a constituent is to vote in source connected ego and replace source disconnected ego.
How does one discern?
The source "disconnected" ego has a trunk full of beliefs and subscribes to many fictions; it tends to see itself as separate and competing with the world and therefore uses divisive labels. It tends to respond to the Illusions failing to see beyond the appearances and it supports the fictions and rewards those that help support them.
The source "connected" ego has few if any beliefs but speaks of knowing through direct experience, possibility and probability. It will not use divisive labels and it lives the truth. It tends to see itself as part of the world and collaborates with it. It tends to see the reality behind any illusions and responds to that and not the illusion.
The winning candidate knows that every time they use a divisive label they cancel votes for their self. They know that by not using any divisive labels they retain or gain all votes.
The losing candidate engages in the use of divisive labels, which may have worked in a world dominated by ignorance and a successfully divided constituency if they played the numbers right, but in a world fresh with a new awareness and a new consciousness of unity, it fails.

New Consciousness Government
Collective control with individual sovereignty Wisdom council stop gap for collective ignorance Liberty and truth watchdog group to preserve individual sovereignty and freedom.
We have most of the elements in place what is missing is a measured and authenticated voice of the people. An element when properly executed would have more power than any lobby or special interest. A representative then only needs to look at the sum total of the intent of their constituents and use this as a reason to decline the requests of political favor and know without question how they should represent the will of the people.
So we have the conservative perspective (wisdom) and the liberal perspective (freedom) combined to create an integrated perspective with balance.
Note that the term "conservative" now is actually being used by those that lacking wisdom and wishing to maintain the status quo that provides them a disproportionate advantage. The result is that conservatives by resisting change, thwart the evolution of mankind and the nation.
Another fundamental component of this evolved system of government is a public forum for Open Socratic Dialog. This allows for all perspectives to be heard. When we integrate two polarities we get a whole perspective which l4eads to balance and all needs not necessarily wants are met. When we base implementation on one or the other polarity we get imbalance.
A socratic dialog not only serves to create an integrated and balanced perspective it brings in the power of collective intelligence to eliminate the fictions and falsity. Fictions that would divide us while we debate the which fiction is most true while missing the truth that would resolve the conflict. The other benefit of Socratic Dialog is collective wisdom and insight.
Communism, Socialism, and Capitalism have not worked to produce a world providing everyone a life worth living even in their own individual domains, due to ego impediment, the fiction of separation and the suppression of individual freedom and the use of force.
Rather than the specific government system it has more to do with the level of consciousness and so we seek first to raise this and from this will result a new system that will work.
One would be building a new system government facilitated by the Universal Information System, having collective control with individual sovereignty. Current management and leadership that fail to evolve would be relieved of their positions naturally without force based on a measured performance in supporting the intentions and will of the people. Where the current controlling groups have used economic devices to replace armies and brute force; one will use communications and technology to replace the use of economic force. Where money was used as the currency of power this next evolution will use the truth and collective intent as the currency of power and money to direct the energy.
This Georgian conflict is bringing some insight as to the political and government system flaws and "illusions" or fictions that manifest the conflict and there are a lot of dynamics at play here and many different players far away from the conflict itself. Politics being how various needs and wants are expressed and met or obtained how combined efforts are implemented and what joint ventures are formed and funded.
Since one is working on the new Universal Self Government Systems Design and the truth based shifts in perception and perspective that are required for
"EveryOne a life worth living"
It is bringing to light some of the new system design requirements and questions to be answered.
Here we have a big game being played. Let's touch on the players and their motivations, the reality and the illusions.
We have a small group of men in Russia and a small group of men in Georgia the so called leadership or management. We will call these the "main" Chess

Yes, big black cock. I mean really, you can't beat that. Hmm actually yes you can. Yes you can.
One's vision of a new universal integrated platform is the implementation of a global framework that allows for natural leadership, self empowered management, and individual service providers that are properly compensated for value created; a framework for balanced integrated systems that facilitate the evolution of products and services designed from a holistic perspective. For example new biochemical enhancement protocols and understanding true disease prevention, if they are applied system wide, health care cost burdens will decrease 75% for both corporations and government.
The focus would be on generating value for other economic system participants, whether this is a group of individuals (Corporation), individual contractors or some hybrid joint venture between a number of entity types. If the value exchange system is properly evolved and managed the wealth will flow naturally, proportionate to the amount of genuine value actually created and will be enforced with their choice of where the energy (money) flows or does not.
In this new system of collective intent and intelligence the need for government regulation and oversight will be minimal, the consumer, customer, client and shareholder will directly influence the policy and decision making process.
With a reduced dependency on the public sector, each individual is assuming a portion of this collective task creating greater efficiency, tax burdens are reduced.
Technology enhanced real time collaboration will accelerate the speed of which deliverables are manifested and joint venture will leverage resources and assets to maximize their utilization and return on shared investment.
These new systems will be self regulating and somewhat autonomous, creating even more energy efficiency with leaders not so much being chosen as they will be simply happening.
Thanks to advances in technology the people of this planet do not need to work as much to support the essential economy, food, shelter, health, education, transportation and energy. The future is 20% work, 20% education, and 60% travel, exploration, creative endeavors, rest and relaxation.
A creative solution to feed the hungry, resulting from collective intelligence entails Amaranth and Surface Soil Remineralization.
It has the added benefit of reducing everyone's cost burdens; war and disease. Easy sell when the perfect time comes to do it.

I had no idea that Randall Munroe invented stick figures!
In a system of collective control the collective wisdom is that it is the free radical, the non-conformist, the revolutionary, the eccentric, the rule breaker, the free agent that is essential to the survival of mankind.
In communism and socialism conformity is forced, and this kills invention and ingenuity.
Conformity stifles evolution and the ability to adapt. In a natural system people do not conform because of force or fear, they do so willingly because they benefit from it.
This is why individual freedom is the number one priority in a system of collective control or participatory self government.
Anarchy with autonomous control and anonymous certification and validation?

The status quo that resists the changes that will eliminate their disproportionate advantage.
They depend on ignorance so awareness and intelligence is their arch enemy.
