It would appear the lines have been drawn. Lets rise to the challenge, luckily they give some cool ideas that would aid our side. While I realize we are only a minute fraction of what he dubbed the dark side. All of us here have at least a tiny bit more technical skill than our non-road counterparts. Most of us have been failed by the crumbling systems of the 19th century. Let us leave them behind and use the systems that are being born in this new era of technology. Lets reach out and bring more of the social technologies into the fold of the silkroad. Lets use our group hive mind to try and bring accomplish some goals to the good of us all. I am thinking primarily of a criminal crowdfunding, or crowdfunded prizes for goals that help our collective selves better our institutions.
The Ted talk mentions several game changing technologies that would have direct affects on the silkroad (and other entities like it). I think we are headed down a good path, lets accelerate it. Lets start active education and training camps for skills, this can all be done digitally now thanks to the elearning revolution. All it would take is organizing and bringing together resources and like minded individuals to learn together. Lets all make each other smarter. Lets all work on bringing smarter and harder working individuals into our economy.
Now I know that we make up only a tiny miniscule amount of the massive black market economy that we are apart of. Yet as a group we probably have some decent resources. Lets create perhaps a system that allows people to propose ideas and bitcoin rewards for their completion. It should incorporate an aspect of crowdsourcing where others who like the idea can contribute to the reward to help with its completion. Hell if we could somehow even factor in a way to provide research budgets I bet some insane things could be accomplished. Right now the pay and availability for research jobs isn't fantastic. How much guap do yall think it would take to take an example from the video get some guys to genetically modify yeast to produce cocaine?
Are collective group might has the ability to accomplish some great things. If our adversaries have a research budget to find us why don't we create a research budget to remain better hidden? If there are any glaring security holes anyone can think of why don't we offer prizes to those who can fix them? This is a dynamic growing system lets, put some effort time and resources into growing its roots deep and its branches wide.
