(2011-01-05) Michalski Yitan If I Were Emperor

Jerry Michalski is asking the Yi-Tan group, if you were Emperor and could make just 3 directives (Executive Order), what would they be? Then the group will discuss:

• What changes are needed in Government and society? (Change The World)
• Where are the biggest points of Leverage to achieve those changes? - changing Game Rule-s tend to be most effective - see 2003-08-28-MeadowsSystemsInterventions
• What underlying beliefs are you drawing on to reach those conclusions? Worldview Roadmap

I'd be inclined toward

• close most/all foreign military bases
• reduce the War On Drugs: at least, legalize all non-opiates (and other Victimless Crime-s)
• create School Choice, to increase UnSchooling

Other ideas

• Carbon Tax to encourage Traditional City re-creation/migration
• something around Corporate Personhood
• Term Limits
• end Farm Bill and all other Subsidy
• something for OpenNet, War On The Net, Intellectual Property...
• put down: IE6, MsOutlook, Leno, Oprah, Monotheism

Hmm, what will help the Network Economy?

May'2015: Venkatesh Rao asked If you had Elon Musk's level of capital post PayPal and a 10 yr horizon, what's the biggest, most audacious project(s) you'd consider taking on?

• Zack Kanter took the list and built Musk Level using the "lobsters" code.
