On May 20, 2024, #Taiwan co-creates a new chapter. @TAIWANmoda is initialised & all systems go. “I have to leave now, democracy needs me.” Let’s #FreeTheFuture — together! Watch the trailer for my forthcoming biopic “Good Enough Ancestor.” https://bit.ly/geancestor Learn more about @pluralitybook. https://bit.ly/pluralitybook
notes/quotes from 3 min trailer:
a: that people see democracy as a social tech.. something people can construct together.. code up political systems..
need system that codes political systems as planned obsolescence
perhaps let’s try/code money (any form of measuring/accounting/people telling other people what to do) as the planned obsolescence w/ubi as temp placebo.. where legit needs are met w/o money.. till people forget about measuring..ie: sabbatical ish transition
1 min – a: it is possible for d to evolve.. to come up w new policies simply by asking people ‘what should we do together’..t
that would just be same song.. ie: dave’s campfire analogy et al.. invited vs invented
any form of democratic admin as cancerous distraction
we need a tech to facil us from the root/core aka: itch-in-the-soul
need 1st/most: means to undo our hierarchical listening to self/others/nature as global detox/re\set.. so we can org around legit needs
imagine if we listened to the itch-in-8b-souls 1st thing everyday & used that data to connect us (tech as it could be.. ai as augmenting interconnectedness as nonjudgmental expo labeling)
a: this awareness that everything can be reset tomorrow (close to death)
detox leap is possible.. if we let go enough for the dance to dance
2 min – sitting on a place that is flash pt if ww3.. but a calm on island because of all audrey has done
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audrey_Tang: Audrey Tang (Chinese: 唐鳳; pinyin: Táng Fèng; born 18 April 1981) is a Taiwanese politician and free software programmer who has served as the 1st Minister of Digital Affairs of Taiwan from August 2022 to May 2024. She has been described as one of the “ten greatest Taiwanese computing personalities”. In August 2016, Tang was invited to join Taiwan’s Executive Yuan as a minister without portfolio, making her the first transgender person and the first non-binary official in the top executive cabinet. Tang has identified as “post-gender” and accepts “whatever pronoun people want to describe me with online.” Tang is a community leader of Haskell and Perl and the core member of g0v.. Tang became involved in politics during Taiwan’s 2014 Sunflower Student Movement demonstrations, in which Tang volunteered to help the protesters occupying the Taiwanese parliament building broadcast their message. The prime minister invited Tang to build media literacy curricula for Taiwan’s schools, which was implemented in late 2017. Following this work, Tang was appointed minister without portfolio for digital affairs in the Lin Chuan cabinet in August 2016, and took office as the digital minister on October 1, being placed in charge of helping government agencies communicate policy goals and managing information published by the government, both via digital means. At age 35, Tang was the youngest minister without portfolio in Taiwanese history and was given this role to bridge the gap between the older and younger generations.

* PLURALITY: THE FUTURE OF COLLABORATIVE TECHNOLOGY AND DEMOCRACY
“Plurality details how Digital Minister Audrey Tang and her collaborators – architects of Taiwan’s internationally acclaimed digital democracy – achieved inclusive, technology-fueled growth that harnesses digital tools to strengthen both social unity and diversity.
From intimate digitally empowered telepathy to global trade running on social networks rather than money, Plurality offers tools to radically enrich relationships while making sure we leave no one behind.
if still trade ness.. still same song
The ideas promise to transform every sector from health care to media, as illustrated by the way it has been written: as a chorus of open, self-governing collaboration of voices from around the globe.”
if transform sectors ness.. still same song
from trailer above:
