Quick Thoughts...


Question: would a GG ever actually replace all the functions of our current govt?

Answer: No. Anytime you have an emergency you're going to need instant command and control structures that are top-down. So, in the military or disaster recovery space you're not going to see GG making a big impact at first. However, it would be hoped that an electronic democracy would put the best people in positions of power. Our current system emphasizing who was best at being a roommate in college (great job, Brownie!).

Question: Would a GG ever be for-profit? Meaning, will people who participate in them get paid, and will the system itself make money?

Answer: Why not? Isn't our current system for-profit (excluding huge national debt)? Maybe a future government has an advertising based rev stream? The non-profit approach to government has allowed the military industrial complex to tempt those in power with what they don't have, money. I think what's so great about GG's is if the system is created correctly, some of them could be for-profit and some wouldn't, and we could choose which ones we want to live within. Like choosing to have ad-banners on a website or not.

What if you're black and you don't have an Iphone and you don't own a computer and you make all your passwords 1234? How would someone like that participate in GG?
