Abstract

The ideas presented in this paper developed in response to help resolve some of the problems which will result from technological unemployment. We believe that as machines become more intelligent and work currently done by human beings become automated there will be a sharp increase in the unemployment rate as humans are laid off to be replaced by intelligent machines. We believe that intelligent machines can be leveraged to provide a basic dividend to a decentralized pseudo-anonymous group of owners as a means of providing an axillary safety-net which cannot be shut down by any government or corporation.

One of the central themes is that through freedom of association anyone can join a community. Some communities will be more exclusive than others. Take this idea further and you have virtual private citizens, virtual sovereign communities, virtual sovereign nations, micro nations, you get the idea.

Choose or be chosen. Anyone can choose to join a community and the process would be similar to applying for citizenship. You would have to reveal your identity, but you would receive voting rights. There would be a distributed Constitution of some sort which everyone in the community agrees upon. You would join the community of like minded individuals and select your community in some cases and in other cases if it's a community you cannot join then they would select you. The process would involve a background check to make sure that bad actors are excluded.
