This is exactly the kind of 'stick it to the man' stuff I love. Business and life needs to evolve to become much more civilised. :)

I loved this movie. I give it an A+. It totally dovetails with work I'm doing regarding modern political philosophy. I've already begun recommending it to others. :)

really liked it...

The tables have finally turned. Took 6,000 years but it was worth it.

Great movie, great sight, great ideas!

Could i get the text of everything is said in here in order for it to be translated into Russian at my email ggeorgui at gmail with information of to who to colloborate in translation of it?

I loved this, gives a bright outlook on the future of the way we govern and how a global community can come together and make things happen.

9/10

Great documentary. Very inspiring.

this was great! i was amazed at how this way of thinking has already started to be applied in real life! i always thought that the whole community helping others on a large scale really was around open-source software. i can really see this working for much larger scales and really do hope so. im already promoting the hell outa this because this really should be the way of the future. i think the main problem is people are to scared to really stand up to try and make a change but as you can see from the film there are many ways in which you will not be singled out or attacked that can allow you to do that.

amazing film

recommended for all humans :)

Thank you very much for this great movie. I like it very much!

Thanks for using AAC audio :)

I have had this type of government in mind for quite some time. It's great someone has finally progressed the idea into an informative video. I look forward to seeing even more decentralized governance movements in the near future.

Wow.. amazing documentary. I can only hope that before I die of old age that I live to see the rise of a true democratic government directly controlled by the people using the technology at hand. Truly spectacular documentary great work guys.

An excellent documentary showing a lot of possibilities. Whether mandate by the masses turns into rule by the lowest common denominator is a question that needs answering of course - would slavery be abolished or the NHS exist under such a system?

In order for governance to change like this, it has to be shown as better than the alternative, or at least more attractive. The reasons people aren't involved in politics are: not enough time, it's boring, and it's full of assholes.

This idea of direct democracy seems to just be more of the worst. More time needed, more bureaucratic, and more assholes getting in a word. What exactly are the benefits, that I can do it through a computer? Wrong answer.

People get into politics because they want to vent emotionally in person at other people, or want to be associated with righteousness, or want to leverage their private resources through public policy. The question we should be asking is how do we harness these natural forces into good policy.

@deptacon: That's not socialism. I think it's a kind of political position of centre-left, something similar. But it's not even that, it's not a position, just an idea, a vision.

Maybe not a whole new model of government, but a bigger participation of the people in its decisions.

Nice docummentary, seems to be a pleasing future.

Its very interesting, it's a new (old) paradigm. You know, "by the people, for the people". A new type of government is like a new lock, it's just a new challenge for lock pickers. Not that I want to be pessimist, but lets face it, we already have an electoral system were every citizen can have his/her voice heard. The problem is that we, as citizen, are not doing our job, we don't vote for the best party or the best man, we vote for the best liar. The reason is simple, politics is out of reach for most of us, we are occupied with making a comfortable place for ourselves, we simply don't have the time or desire to be informed. If this new paradigm shift contributes to citizen being by enlarge more informed then maybe we have a chance, but this new lock will only last till the lock pickers...

Right now, I have more questions than answers, but I can clearly see the envisioned type of governing, and it sounds very practical to me.

I've probably been so accustomed to using the diverse services of the web (I'm online every single day) that I fail to recognize its power and future potential. This movie definitely presents a lot of thoughts to think about it - thoughts in relation to the way we contribute, live and function and in society.
