one liner: Humans are approaching the cognitive limitation in resolving conflicts of interest to land larger-scale mutual-beneficial collaboration.
What's The Challenge Keeps You Up In The Night?
One Reason
It is how people communicate their thoughts and how people are organized to deliver the biggest asset of human civilization, from academic research to corporate governance.
Technologies like electricity, machineries, Internet, artificial general intelligence and blockchain are the byproducts (tools). Organizations like communities, corporations and governments are the forms (means).
It is how everyone is valued and matched, to take ownership to develop, under aligned interest and agreed principles, that delivers more. Academic research is the most successful example with its open access and credible reference.

What's Your Story To Keep You Up In The Morning?
Some Thoughts
The coordination challenge in governance: Larger educated population is more frequently generating denser information through communications.
- more information: bigger networks with larger population connected;
- faster generation: better connectivity with devices having more efficient human-computer interface;
- higher density: more intense competition drive deeper domain specified skills and experience through higher education.
The Dilemma: Our adaptability (learning ability) are biologically limited, as
- limited attention (information I/O);
- limited computing（information processing).
Alternative explanation: Cognitive Bandwidth issue, nailed by César Hidalgo with Augmented Democracy.
Direct Consequences: Information Overload that results in divergent cognitive abilities:
- bias from selection effect over the process of learning;
- redundant information rephrased from different sources that occupied limited attention;
- conflicting information that causes recursive cognitive processing cost.
In together with the institutional barriers detailed below, causes
- personal
anxietyofcareer lock-indue to solidified skill and experience with new tools and methods flushing in; sociological segregationdue to difficulties to trace the source of divergence:fragmentation of Internetthat intensifies alienation;- expediting
economic rising inequalitythat raises concerns; - democracy failure that discouraged voters with abusive attention occupation of marketing campaign and cognitive cost to identify fake news (bad faith);
- collaboration difficulty to resolve global challenges without effective communication with comprehensive information and constructive organization practical in larger scale.
I believe diversity is liberal and collaborative, not discriminative or alienating.
Cause of Institutional Barriers
The free market is supposed to optimize the supply and demand without intervention. But information asymmetry naturally exists, which inspired capitalism to take advantage to build institutional barriers. Such institutional barriers include, but not limited to military (politics, policies, ideologies), economics (capitals, market power, information), technology (patents, IPs, manufacturing techniques).
The economic and sociological segregations are then rationalized with Darwinism for the favor of politicians, capitalists, institutions that also fosters religionists, nationalists, racists, sexists, etc.
Any minority faces inequality bargaining power due to the information asymmetry caused by institutional barriers.
To fill the gap of cognitive ability and information asymmetry caused by such institutional barriers, we need to re-confirm the root cause and find radical solutions.
One Plan
This part is still under reconstruction: 1. bottom-up way to demonstrate how it can be done; 2. top-down way to demonstrate why I think so. Both are illuminated in the mind note map.
Why? My motivation is covered earlier. I also realize that a collaborative society is worth living in that no matter who and how it's been built. And one of the key principle is be open enough to embrace changes. AMA there because at one point, histories are being made regardless.
To break the institutional barrier mentioned above, the radical solution will be improve the biological limit of adaptability. But biological changes don't and won't catch up with the timescale of societal evolution any more, due to the fundamental difference of information propagation speed.
Thus the only possibility I see is giving everyone the access to Augmented Decision AI to augment one's decision making ability in a process of Adaptive Learning, which involves retrieving information from the collective knowledge base of human civilization and providing decision suggestions with reasonings, through wearable Human-computer Interface based on the personal knowledge base, draft of the R&D plan. At the same time, the society needs to be organized with trust and principles to balance liberty between individuals and communities.
Before diving into the detail, let's step back and think about the cosmology of human history.
My abstraction of Industrial Revolution & Renaissance:
- Printing: Enlightenment, less rational barrier due to geographic isolation.
- Mechanization, steam power: Industrial Revolution 1.0, more productivity with less labor dependency.
- Publishing: Romanticism, less educational barrier due to sociological status.
- Mass production, electricity: Industrial Revolution 2.0, more productivity with less gender, age, physical status dependency.
- Transportation, telegram: Darwinian, less information barrier due to transportation efficiency.
- Computer, automation: Industrial Revolution 3.0, more productivity with less economic status dependency.
- Internet, communication technology: Marketism (Capitalism/Socialism with market adaption), less information barrier due to social network limit.
- Artificial general intelligence, adaptive learning, general purpose robotics: Industrial Revolution 4.0, more productivity with less skill, knowledge dependency.
- Smart social contract, social identity & credit system: Collaborative society, less opportunity barrier due to sociological status.
- To be imagined...
With that in mind, building an enterprise is one of the best ways to accumulate resources to empower people to be visionaries. It is also the only way to demonstrate the power of collaborative society when the current form of corporations and governments are reaching the ceiling of efficiency. As a community member with ownership (universal basic income + equity), individuals will be best motivated. With principles to let everyone keeps up and gets involved in decision based on the proved ability. We can focus on what's important, to build a corporation as a government (society), to best liberate everyone's productivity, to eventually create abundance for better tomorrow.
- Who: everyone who wants to be part.
- How: collaborate as a community, a corporation, a society.
- What for: liberate productivity to create abundance.
Revisit the Vision and be a part in finding the path towards future with us.
It sounds like a hopeless optimistic ideal. But it's possible and I'm making it feasible. Smarter minds like you can join force with my road map, or propose a better path.
We will collaborate on building tools and methodologies for ourselves, other companies, corporations, governments to communicate efficiently and effectively.
Anyone should be a part of the collaborative society, which aims to provide help to liberate everyone, with equal access to the information and basic resources, until catching up by adaptive learning, to become capable, to extend the edge of the collective knowledge base.
TODO
- explain about how to improve cognitive ability to take more responsibility.
- write about similarity of marketing and education, the abuse of attention
- effective autonomy: principle alignment, proposal oriented instead of group oriented, decentralized management with no opportunistic barrier, normalize peer review power.

Preliminary
The project is to build SaaS service to automate workflow from meeting, a voice based Salesforce system.
The data will be accumulated to develop workforce system like LinkedIn to better evaluate talents for hiring and management.
Privacy or business security is definitely a challenge but it could be taken care of with open sourcing, bet agreement, shares sharing, etc. The core idea is to be collaborative that using technology to empower people to communicate more efficient and effective. With the data generated, we can build enterprise knowledge base as well as personal knowledge base to model the proportional contribution and collective decision path, to power the development of AGI level automation to create manufacturing abundance for UBI.
At the same time, the proportional contribution could be the distribution incentive to motivate people to learn more from the enterprise knowledge base through practice in collective decision making.
By solving the communication scaling challenge and organization scaling challenge, we may surpass humans biological limit of adaptability for a collaborative society based on effective altruism.
In the big picture, guided by the Principle:
- A beautiful future to work towards.
- A meaningful purpose to live on.
- A community with trusted like-minds.
- A stage to liberate your talents.
In the short term, detailed in Execution Plan:
- Peace of mind with universal basic income.
- A share of equity matched to your added value.
