"You may say I'm a dreamer
but I'm not the only one
We hope someday you'll join us
and the world will live as one"
(John Lennon)
"One person cannot change the world alone
but one idea, shared by enough people,
will have already changed the world"
(Koda)
Hi. I'm Koda. I am in the process of creating this interactive website in hopes that it might enable the people of the world to design the best governmental structure possible — in a truly democratic way. On these pages we all get to vote directly on proposals submitted by the people, and those proposals could become the foundation for a constitution which one day might govern the entire world.
Yes. We are talking about creating a single, worldwide government — because right and wrong do not change when someone steps over a line drawn on a map. If you don't want to live in a world with a single government, you can vote against that. This website is all about what the people choose.
Click on the image below to vote in a poll with 31 progressive proposals and see how government policies could be very different in a direct democracy. That page also describes why we need to inform voters of the details regarding what they are about to vote on, before they vote — why we need an Informed Direct Democracy.
You can view, vote on or submit proposals Today! (AI features coming soon)
How this site is designed to work.
Someone has an idea about how government should do things, so they submit a proposed law or policy. Other people see that proposal and upvote or downvote it, and they can make comments which are separated into categories of "for" or "against." The comments are also upvoted or downvoted.
Proposals that get enough Adjusted Upvotes (up minus down) move into the Official Voting page — a section where actual voting occurs. Here, AI will be used to generate 3 pages of information:
The voter is presented with the actual text of the proposal, factual data, summaries of the "for" and "against" positions, and buttons to vote For or Against the proposal.
There will be areas where only people in the affected location can vote. For example, voting on whether to build a new bridge or school, and voting for local officials.
Each voter has a unique voterID. When the voter casts their vote, either "for" or "against," it is added to an All Votes page. This page displays the title of the proposal and the vote of every person next to the voterID number. Voters can check their vote using their voterID to ensure it was properly counted while still maintaining anonymity. For example:
VoterID# Proposal# Proposal Title Vote:
0000001 1111110 Gee wiz man Against
When people vote directly on issues, it is called a direct democracy. Another way to describe democracy is mob rule. Because this system presents detailed information before voting, I refer to this process as an Informed Direct Democracy.
There will be several different sections on this site:
It seems obvious that you wouldn't be looking at this site if you didn't truly care about the structure of our society. The world may seem divided now, but when people are presented with objective facts and the opportunity to make changes, I believe we will discover more common ground than we might expect.
Right now, the policies selected by voters on this site have no legal authority, but they will help people see how things could be improved.
It's your world. You should have a voice as loud as any other. An Informed Direct Democracy can give you that voice.
