Unlocking the power of the crowd

Our current government systems are monolithic. One set of values and ideals is imposed on everyone, regardless of if they endorse those values and ideas or not. This means that the only way to test a new idea is to implement it on a whole population. Lawmakers and proponents of a bill invest themselves and their reputation into passing sweeping legislation that makes massive changes. And only after that do we get to discover if the legislation creates the change we intend.

Most of the time, such a bill has enormous externalities that can't be worked out beforehand. A whole country becomes a living experiment and because so much political capital was spent on passing such legislation, and because reputations were put on the line to advocate for the theory, reversing course is difficult. 

Under Cyber Sovereignty, thousands of digital societies are incubating thousands of ideas at once, giving us huge swaths of data on the effectiveness of legislation long before it spreads widely. 

And since anyone can copy legislation, if one digital society sees something working on a smaller scale, it can elevate what is already working on a smaller scale on a larger scale.
