Humanekind development phases
phase 1: code
develop the language through which people express their values, principles, rules, in a way that can be mechanized
· software running on palmhelds, handhelds, tablets, laptops, desktops, minis, and rackhelds will process people code to get things done, including putting forth proposals, analysing them, measuring their adherence to code, voting, and many other things that need to be done in predictable, consistent, fair, and just ways to benefit entire societies without advantaging only few
phase 2: person
provide individuals with true digital sovereignty, without having to depend on any corporation to realize their ambitions, their dreams, and live their true lives
· assisted by the software on their devices, individuals are truly empowered and beholden to no corporation or government
· the person is the sovereign, the master of zir digital life, and full participant in the decisions of the group
clicks (direct personal connection)
phase 3: device
ensure that all an individual needs to be a full digital sovereign is at least a palmheld device and at most a laptop with access to the internet
phase 4: group
allow people to form code groups, ruled by core values, principles, rules where everyone counts and everyone is counted
· group identity
· group code
· group datocratic decision-making
· group datocratic governance
phase 5: org
membership too large for a group
· org identity
· org code
· org datocratic decision-making
· org datocratic governance
Humanekind components
-
Humanekind Documentation (humanekind)
-
Humanekind Population (humanepop)
can China block IPFS
basics
AsciiDoc is the language of Humanekind
. components serialize data using it or a subset language so that humans can always understand how their data and content is being processed in the Humanekind environment
. no black or grey boxes, ever
. transparency, transparency, transparency
current tasks
AsciiDoc processing
getting reacquainted with D
tasks
for values to be meaningful, they must be honored
write a paper about Humanekind
publish it on arxiv.org
what if people throughout the world pick up the idea and start building systems that follow he same core values (code)?
what it some of them merge to to leveraga effort?
does such merging uphold the decentralization principle?
is Linux decentralized?
. some may say yes
. some may say HELL NO!
i think democracy is decentralized
. people cannot destroy democracy
. they can hurt a democracy but not democracy itself
i see Humanekind as a structure that can implement the ideas and ideals of datocracy
. i dont think datocracy can happen without digital devices and software
. Humanekind can be one vision of how a datocratic system can be implemented
. my ambition is to write a paper that others can use to learn about how to do datocracy, to spread the word about what comes after democracy
. the world needs something stronger, move responsive, more accountable, more representative, more resistent to manipulation, than our current democratic systems
. we need to design and implement that digital institutions that run datocracy
im starting to believe that decentralization cannot be absolute
. there has to be some sort of aggregations or groupings that, whilc being datocratic, have the resources to do big things, such as run a library or feed the hungry
identifying ways for individuals to declare their code (core values) in ways that they can analyze as a group
this task involves:
-
deciding on a way for an individual to declare zir code
-
moving to a standard model of personal code storage
-
developing a mechanism to extract, process, and present the codes of a group of people
we can publish (unprocessed) the codes of a group of people
. we the machinery to publish ADOC content in HTML and PDF form
. we can put our personal codes in directories called pods
. today, the ADOC documents could be formatted in any way
. but, to be able to extract the codes into a database to be analyzed, we would have to agree on an format, such as the one im using in HumanePop
Ernest is investigating using AsciiDoc, Asciidoctor API, and Ruby programming to extract the code data in pods into information about the personal codes of two or more people
interesting ideas and approaches
developing EverLang as a procedural language, used to describe procedures that can be run or executed ("the language of digital bureaucracy", maybe)
* Compilers Aren’t Just for Programming Languages
ambitions
-
design, develop, use, publish the text parser to end all text parsers (or at least make people see parsers in a different way)
ideas
when examine content from an author, i should be able to effortlessly get the answers for these questions:
-
how much weigh should i put on this content based on the author’s pedigree?
-
who is the author?
-
what has the author done?
-
what does the author’s referral list look like, who does it include?
Humanekind Foundation (HumaneFound)
. an entity that ensures that humanity can always rely on Humanekind

development approaches
ambitions
people should be able to easily make their devices to whatever they need, without using artificial intelligence but mechanized human intelligence
stuff

this is where people will go to navigate knowledge in ten years
. Humanekind is working on the infranstrusture that makes knowledge navigable, explorable, discoverable, enjoyable, indestructible, unmanipulatable by hateful child-rapist pricks, their minions, and their billionaire enablers and funders

the future is NOT wearables . that’s what Mark Zuckerberg wants you to think because he wants to be in your brain with his goofy-as-fuck glasses (have you seen him) . the poor guy thinks he looks cool! . FUCK MARK ZUCKERBERG |
inspiring, satisfying, and empowering regular human beings
LINUX Mobile is DEAD (and it’s never coming back)
this guy touches on the critical problems that a humane technology stack must address just to be looked at:
-
fragmentation
-
mobile is the kingdom of UX: things must be nice, reliable, easy to use, reliable, consistent, reliable
-
culture clash: humans vs geeks (extremely focused humans)
-
economic realities of device production
can humans and geeks coalesce in a shared vision of computing for people, an extension of human breains without the profit motive?
keeping information alive
Piracy is for Trillion Dollar Companies | Fair Use, Copyright Law, & Meta AI
should Humanekind keep its content out of corporate AI training data?
age requirement for Humanekind
a person has to be human being at least 25 year old to join
language
machine code :: webpage AsciiDoc :: digital library (non-AI enabled)
Humanekind capabilities
-
indicate the level of code compatibility between two or more people, from 0.0 to 1.0 (or 0 percent to 100 percent)
-
note that a level of compatibility over 100 percent is impossible; only a fucking idiot would suggest that anybody could be more than 100 percent compatible with anogher person
-
if a person was to say publicly that something can be more tha 100 percent compatible with something else, that persons should be mocked and ridiculed to levels that have never been seen before in the history of mathematics, science, the universe, and beyond

Humanekind shortcomings
-
not self hosted
thoughts
should Humanekind have mininum guidance, such as the inseparability of diversity and inclusion from humankind?
. can a trustworthy technology stack emerge from the ground up?
. do projects like this always need a steering committee or some people with vision and authority?
. what will Linux be look like after Linus?
. i guess another Linus will appear
. but there appears to be a need for someone or someones to put their imprimatour on things
but Humanekind is not Linux, right?
when dealing with licenses and standards, i think it is kinda obvious that complete decentralization is neither practical nor desirable
. someone has to ensure that things work as they are supposed to work
. wahat we should absolutely have is confirmation: a single brain cannot be trusted
. multiple brains, following standard procedures, must reach the same results for the system to be trustworthy to the layperson
that’s why people create foundations, entities that carry out the vision of founders years after they die
. sometimes those entities keep the memories of their benefactors alive by spending money on things the original visionaires would
. sometimes that’s good
. sometimes that’s terrible for society
. but we have to trust that people of the future will know what’s good for them
. but, we are the people people of the past thought about when they fought for democracy
. and, what have we done to honor their sacrifice?
. elected a child rapist for president
. god. fucking. damn. it.
according to Wikipedia, Ian Murdock created Debian as a reaction to "poor maintenance and the prevalence of bugs in [Softlanding Linux System]"
. i think Debian carries Ian’s vision of good software quality, dependability, open development, and free software for people
Almost all users of Linux will get their first taste of it through a distribution, and most users will continue to use a distribution for the sake of convenience even after they are familiar with the operating system. Thus, distributions play a very important role indeed.
there are many needs in the world
. and there many, many people in the world
. for us to progress, we need the right people to get behind (and in front) of the right needs
The Debian Manifesto
. this document is both absolutely well written and profoundly inspirational
. i would have loved to have shared a few conversations with Ian

following datocratic principles, the should not be a one-brain leader
. no one should be abot to change the trajectory of an enterprise on a whim
the enterprises behaviors and actions are long-term things
. decisions made are NOT made by whoever is on top
. the decisions are made by entire enterprise
. the "leader", being a servant leader, does not get to come in and make horrible changes, like puting horrible gold all over the place, or tearing down a beautiful garden and replacing with concreate, like a fucking depraved child rapist might do
. a servant leader serves the enterprise, acts in the name of the enterprise, following the enterprises' wishes and needs
. instead of leader, a better word would be caretaker
information-dense content
information-rich content
leadership
enterprises need leaders
. but leaders are human, and humans have problems
an enterprise must capture the good things about good leaders and eliminate the bad things about humans
understanding systems
it is important to understand the systems on which we operate, whether we like them or hate them
. if need to use them, we must understand them completely
