Political Reform Wishlist

I'm getting into more and more political discussions especially with all the GOP debates.
Just FYI: I think most of the culture war between conservatives and liberals, rich and poor, socialists and libertarians is completely fabricated for political marketing efforts.  But here's my wishlist for politics:

1. SuperVoucher: Convert all social spending programs on retirement, healthcare, education, student loans into one large simple safety net fund.  Basically give every American an account to spend the money however they need to.

The catch: however you spend the money is public knowledge from the instant you swipe the debit card. If you bought pot in Colorado, or a prosthetic leg overseas, or food at a grocery store with your share of the safety net fund it's public knowledge.  Stock investors could use the data for updating stock predictions.  Universities could use the info  for Economic research. CDC could track purchases of medicine to respond early to flu outbreaks.

The Hope: Americans would spend it on stuff that creates a lot of value for themselves and their community.  Instead of creating bubbles in college debt people could use to fund a small business or franchise that or turn their backyard into a farm. It's Trickle Down Theory for everybody.
Design Benefits: everyone gets the same flat amount regardless of age, criminal record, taxes paid, income level.  For the upper middle class/ rich this would basically seem like a rebate on taxes paid.  There would not be any bureaucratic mess or waste or political maneuvering on who gets the voucher.   We could banish unsustainable spending programs, leverage the benefits of Big Data, get rid of government slowdown and waste.


The Risks: People would forget to save their SuperVoucher for healthcare expenses.  Heroin addicts probably don't care about public shame enough to avoid spending their SuperVoucher on heroin.


2. Replace the FDA with mandatory product liability insurance. The problem of getting useful drugs approved takes over a decade and billions in investment.  The cost of inaction for many delayed drugs far exceeds the cost of approving a drug with side effects for some people.  An insurance company would have to balance the risk of future lawsuits with the profit opportunity of a new drug.  The Hope: the insurance company would research and vet drugs more efficiently than FDA. They would balance the creation of a portfolio of drugs.

3. Completely Decriminalize drug usage.  Treat addicts instead of incarcerating.
Benefits: reduced prison populations.  It would be cheaper to get people the help they need rather than.
 No more civil forfeiture of goods for

Netsquared likes Village and I'm in LA now.

On March 13th, Village the Game received a great response from the NetSquared NetTuesday meeting in San Francisco. It's really encouraging to meet so many people who want to help Village succeed. Now I'm off to LA to work with buddies in "the industry" for creating some promo videos for Village the Game. Most recent epiphany I've had: Sharing the vision of Village is a lot more effective in a visual format rather than as a casual conversation at a bar. :) If you're in LA let me know. I'd love to catch up.

Physics Moment: how many zoom levels does the Universe require?

I made a quick table of reference lengths in meters to figure out if I ever made a data visualization tool for the entire universe, how many zoom levels would it have to support? One zoom level is one power of ten.  reference length power is there anything meaningful that's smaller than planck length? planck length 1.62E-35 meters nanometer 1.00E-09 meter 1.00E+00 kilometer 1.00E+03 light year 9.46E+15 meter diameter of known universe 4.40E+26 So the total zoom levels of the Entire Universe are: 61.00 61 zoom levels is way more than Farmville or Warcraft So 61 zoom levels. How do these zoom levels compare to the Big Data Explosion.   reference quantity of data bytes bit 1.25E-01 1 or 0 and that's it. byte 1.00E+00 base unit for most data types in programming languages kb 1.00E+03 Starting number for web optimized images and javascript libraries mb 1.00E+06 Starting number for a song gigabytes GB 1.00E+09 This is base unit of $10 USB sticks terab...
