@freemo can we get everybody in qoto together to build a country with rationalism, logic, freedom and stem as a foundation?

I came across a Nigerian dude a while back complaining about his government and talking about a possible way to create a new country with a government system from scratch. His idea was to start as an online movement which would attract people of similar values and ideas about how to make governing structures. Then, you put them in a truly anonymous block chain where they can have a "passport" from this digital country and a platform where ideas and plans are made from ground up (using something like ADA/cardano or ICP/dfinity). For example, people can work on the legal infrastructure and other aspects of the country where everybody gets to vote and decisions are settled with smart contracts. All out in the open. Eventually, when sufficient people have joined the system, make a colony in a suitable piece of land (or multiple even in different geographical locations), either on earth or else where. So, you'd build all the values and digital infrastructure first and the actual physical system last.

What do you say?

@freemo appropriate incentive structures would need to be in place from the beginning to ensure that this country/society doesn't implode as we are seeing right now in the west. I think Charles Hoskinson's thoughts on "decentralized social media" could be extended to be relevant to a wider society. By setting the right incentives we could significantly increase the chances of people being open minded to things they disagree with and preferring long nuanced discussion over quick sound bites.

@zpartacoos I love the idea, but getting movements started tend to be finicky things where good ideas mean very little... While I dont know if such a thing would ever gain momentum I would be happy to support it and be a part of it. Its a good idea in theory.

@freemo okay, I will put something in writing this weekend although I have no doubt this would take a few decades at least to really start taking off

@zpartacoos starting a nation isnt likely to be a quick thing for sure. Hell there isnt even any land that is up for grabs which is likely on eof the biggest obstacles... but like I said im on board!
