Designing a Great Government: Design Precept Anyone can sell nearly anything directly to anyone else in the World.


While doing quiet time.  I keep trying to be spiritual, sit in a room filled with live worship music a bunch of other Christians dancing randomly in the background, people sitting with blank or joyful faces eyes closed, others swaying.  Meanwhile I'm getting ideas on how to design higher quality government.

Tonight, my thoughts were again how do we push forward the quality of life for everyone?  How do we push government leaders into the same Key Performance Indicator accountability that any American CEO has to meet to keep his job?

One principle I want to develop: If you don't get results for the governed then you aren't the government.  Results could mean nearly anything and I think just agreeing on what Results means for government would be a huge step forward for all of mankind.  

A lot of media, hype, anxiety I see is people playing guessing games with friends about who actually runs the world.  Is it the CIA, or Rothschild's, the oil companies, the Freemasons, Catholic Church, Defense Contractors, Goldman Sachs.

I have no idea.  And I don't care.  ... Well at least I don't want to care.  Unfortunately it does matter who's in charge.  After reading Why Nations Fail it's painfully apparent that powerful groups do almost anything to the not-so-powerful to keep their power and prosperity.  My hope with setting more international standards for quality of life is that we all can move forward far faster than Industrial Revolution has thus far caused.

Some example standards I thought of:
Anyone anywhere can sell anything to anyone else directly.  Some legitimate limitations like nukes will apply.  But the point is that there's nothing stopping me from buying something straight from a specific person, if I so choose.  I think it's the ultimate fair trade requirement.

Prosper.com is peer to peer lending of money.
Relayrides.com is peer to peer leasing of cars.
Airbnb.com is peer to peer leasing of homes.
Etsy.com is peer to peer purchase of crafts.
These types of businesses that enable direct connection to many consumers needs to grow to an audience of the entire planet.  I suspect that some Governments will get in the way because they are paid to get in the way by power-brokers.  We need a quality data driven approach to incentivizing governments to stay out of the way of phenomenon.  It helps so many people directly add value other people's lives.

So where is the peer to peer site for buying food straight from the farmer?
What's the best the site to buy clothes straight from the tailor?

Man that's just one design principle for Great Government.

Yes I'm reading parenting articles quite pre-emptively. I liked this one

It seems like modern parenting is an exhausting pain in the ass.  Somehow the task has become more difficult not less even with technology to help us do everything.   By the way, why are there still not washing machines for babies.  How has this been overlooked.  There are enough engineering couples who have tied the knot and started a family.  There's no excuse for this to not exist yet. https://www.romper.com/p/i-tried-minimalist-parenting-for-a-week-it-was-a-total-game-changer-74237 Romper Home Flowcharts News Moms Unfiltered Pregnancy Sex & Relationships Baby Toddler Kid Health Entertainment Motherhood Food Fashion & Beauty Company About Contact Terms Privacy Courtesy of goodmoments/Fotolia I Tried Minimalist Parenting For A Week, & It Was A Total Game Changer By  Ambrosia Brody 4 days ago SHARE Being present at all times with my children is an elusive goal.

Rant: I hate Google Cloud but I don't want to.

I just wasted 3 hours trying to get Google Cloud SQL to work.  After digging through docs and support forums I couldn't set up IPv6 access to my sql instance. This isn't the first time I've wasted tremendous time getting such a basic access feature to work.  I went through a nearly  parallel issue with Google Compute Engine.  It took over a week to get the answers I needed to get a network access working for Google Compute Engine. I have a problem and I admit it. :  I know Google Cloud will eventually dominate.  I can't help myself from trying to use the inevitable technological leader in the cloud wars, but damn give me back all the money and months I wasted learning these platforms.  If I could just turn off my engineering supremacy OCD ... just get prototypes working on traditional boring crappy tech,  I'd have way more streams of income by now and hate my tech life far less. Speaking of money:  There's still no clearcut way to cap monthly spend on Goog
