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.

Brazil is Cool and I want in on the Action

Many have asked and many times I have explained Why Brazil? I am going to Brazil because something is going on down there, and I want in on it. Spiritually there is a huge revival going on down there. Small groups explode into megachurches. People receive prophecy and obey to go on and do great things for God. And more missionaries hail from Brazil than any other country in the world. Here's a few stories that inspired me: One prayer team from Brazil instigated a revival in Goa, India. Stephen Baldwin becomes a Christian because a Brazilian nanny obeyed prophecy. A Brazilian Missionary defies 'The Prince of Peru' to instigate revival in Peru. I believe that when I get down there I'll find mentors to take me into more powerful prayer, into more effective evangelism, and more mission-oriented churches. Essentially my hope for Brazil is that I can find a community who will help me take my faith from applying the wisdom of the Bible to something more personal ......
