The Idea

Create a working pool of problem solving geniuses. The extraction out of the people via a point system must be organized. The pool and the rest of the world have the task to solve problems and to bring in problems for solving, a permanent world championship. Parties split the people"s knowledge of problem-solving into official institutional parts and the rest. One party can"t have the best problem solving geniuses in all areas. Network behaviour nowadays isn"t institutionalized, which means that inter- and national institutions also think for the local authorities and the other way round. A society of ideas doesn"t know a vertical organization splitting. Then we have more transparency in areas of public interest and higher qualified decision making as a first step of more democracy. Members of the pool are qualified through their ideas for a position in the remaining executive institutions. Each person receives points for a solution. The frequency of ideas is also a relevant factor in

I thought of this idea when I was...

Still idea: .. the evaluation of the pool members. An ID because of the supervised votes, after we receive no more ideas to solve a problem. I got the inspiration for this idea out of the following: Manuel Castells, a Spanish sociologist says: "We are not living in the Information Age, we are living in the Networked Age' (Fin.Times, 2005). Political party"s split the people into different groups is what the Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi says. The simple use of the existing technologies can lead to an evolution of the democratic system. Do we need election, when we know who the best for this job is? Poor government when the others have the better financial experts.

It's really base democracy. The goverments should buy out this idea.
The question is: Will the politicians also lead in this kind of idea based society?

It's not a software product, it's a political manifesto! ;-)

Quite an old idea, dating from CH's formative days. Interesting, but not a fit for an entrepreneurial business.

Hi Tom4tune.
There is a very good site for scientists to work on problems. I just can’t recall the name. Heck you can even make loads of money there by solving the requests of companies.

hmmm, indeed!

there seem to be a huge amount of ideas on this site about building {groups|troupes|collectives|communities|sites|etc.} that are pretting much spinning off this site's goal, and hence they should possibly be classified henceforth as a YAII, or Yet Another Idea Idea!

is there an echo in here or something??? ;-)

vanhees are you thinking of http://www.innocentive.com ?

Tom_4tune Posted: June 24, 2007, 6:32 am

http://www.innocentive.com is a page for science. The politicans should express their problems in http://www.innocentive.com. Then we can earn money for solving political problems.

Why we have problems actually?

arthaus Posted: November 10, 2007, 10:27 am

Nice Kevin. From reading (and half-understanding... boy you need to make your explanations a bit simpler) it seems something like this site except for the fact it's based around democratic problem solving? I think before anyone does anything they should think about the problems they may face and decide on how they will deal with it... an interesting idea that seems to be the same as CH, but has another function (a principle of problem-solving) that could probably be easily used in this site. Generally when you do post an idea here, though, people will quiz your knowledge of what you're doing or compete against your idea if it's not written out right (showing you some of the possible problems).

Have I been rambling again?
