We can have voting on a merkle tree, each person gets exactly one token. If they lose it they can recover it with friends etc.

We can automate safety nets and payouts using technology, and calculate the consumer price index.

We could have direct democracy or each person could select their delegate.

We can start on a local community level.

Which sounds like you are saying that we should strengthen individual power ... so how is that the opposite of anything I said?

We may have misunderstood each other. I agree we should empower individuals in general, and try to defuse centralization of power. And I thought by powerful individuals you meant people in the government or some rival organizations.

I began talking about recording interactions, though, being potentially a very good thing.
