Global democracy has to grow organicly as new ways for people to communicate and interact with eachother, like Wikipedia is a kind of democracy in how pages converge toward the median of our ideas. It can't be jumped into as some global organization. I think spacecollective would be a good place to plant those seeds. Spacecollective already...
Los Angeles, CA - Last week a website called "library.nu" disappeared. A coalition of international scholarly publishers accused the site of piracy and convinced a judge in Munich to shut it down. Library.nu (formerly Gigapedia) had offered, if the reports are to be believed, between 400,000 and a million digital books for free.

More on this later.

Do some research starting at places like and calculate and prove to scientific peer reviewed standards, how much does it cost to save the cheapest Human life? That number of dollars we should call HUMANLIVES. It fluctuates like a stock price. It increases when more is given to efficient charities, since the cheapest Human lives to save are saved...
Many people think a world government should be created by those with experience in politics, but that is exactly what we need to avoid. That is what got us into this mess. We need something most people can agree on.
