I’ve spent the past few years refining a dream, and this is it.

I want to bring together the most capable citizens in America together to replace our government with the best government possible, and I want to livestream the entire process to the American public. A giant brainstorm, led by our most capable leaders, is the only real way to solve our biggest problem: a corrupted government. A rotten house cannot be repaired; it must be torn down before building a better one in its place.

Now, is this extreme action really necessary? Do we really need to redesign our whole government?

Yes. Our government’s hijacking by the wealthy is responsible for creating and perpetuating crises that affect all Americans.

Our socioeconomic problems are rooted in the immense inequality in wealth, quality of life, and suffering. This inequality is being used by media conglomerates, foreign rivals, and bad faith actors to erode the unseen bonds that bind us together. Housing, education, and healthcare have become impossible for most Americans to afford; and because most Americans are bombarded with propaganda on a daily basis, they are steered into blaming the other party for the increasingly unacceptable state of their lives and society. Our government is incapable of maintaining our society that provides a decent standard of living for all American citizens, and so it must be replaced.

Our political system, the thing responsible for managing our society, has failed. Our government has been hijacked by the rich and we can prove it empirically: our political system serves corporations & the hyper wealthy rather than the American people. In the largest study of legislature bills ever, scientists found no correlation between public support for a bill and the probability that bill would pass. The only things that influences the success of a bill is the amount of money behind it. This problem will persist regardless of whoever is President. Our government no longer serves us, it serves the highest bidder, and so it must be replaced.

Finally, our climate crisis is way worse than people realize. The guy known as the clime science godfather, James Hansen, a former NASA director, believes that an 8 to 10C of warming is already locked in. For reference, scientific consensus is that our modern civilization, with all it’s distracting luxuries, will break at 3C degrees of warming. We passed the limit set by the Paris climate accords this year, decades ahead of schedule, and as a species we are still emitting record levels of greenhouse gases. Our civilization is built on an agriculture system dependent on stable weather patterns. These patterns are already changing dramatically. If these patterns change so much that we cannot grow food, civilization breaks down. Our government was unable to stop our civilization from literally destroying the habitability of the world, despite knowing the consequences decades ago, and so it must be replaced.

It is clear that our government has failed us, but replacing the most powerful organization in the world seems impossible. The only way to fix our government is by bringing millions of Americans together and coming to a consensus about what kind of civilization we want to live in. A democratic, diplomatic, digital revolution in the United States of America; a movement guaranteed to be nonviolent, that extends participation to any citizen with a working computer and internet connection.

If you want to write the best story in human history, you have to take a chance. Because this is the best opportunity you will get to fix our government. It requires virtually no investment, just tap your screen a few times and spread this idea, but it offers enormous return; minimum risk, maximum reward.

You can face your fear and help the only person you’ve ever met who is actively trying to fix the biggest problem in your life, or you can stay in this dump, the one dominated by corrupt politicians, out-of-touch oligarchs, and corporate lobbyists. Fight for the dying light or go quietly into the night; the choice is yours.

Oh. I’m Marcos by the way.
