Year -1 ACE: Libertarianism As Utilitarianism: The Better Deal Voluntarism & Ending Global Poverty and Maximizing BioDiversity: Unlike Google, Motto is: Be Good: Digital Revolution and Evolving Human Race, George Ritzer’s Glocalization over Grobalization

As Saul Alinsky emphasized throughout his writings, people only act in their self-interest, even if it is Mother Theresa, her utility function though altruistic in comparison to society’s norm emphasized doing good. Thus we can collapse even altruistic acts into self interest when properly understood as non put through an alien filter of solely pecuniary in nature.

As Clay Shirky discusses in Here Comes Everybody, the social organization costs of 1.coordination, 2. computation and 3. communication have been radically lowered by the mass diffusion of inter-networked personal computation devices. Indeed as Ronald Coase asserted via Coasean bargaining, awarding property rights to the collective or private actors converges on the optimum level absent transaction costs as time advances toward infinity. For those who wish to move the weight of the world and advance ideas that the market values, the solution is simple minimize the transaction costs of social organization and problems will be moved on their own. Important information is contained in the price of goods embracing agorism and enabling all to consume some level may be a strategy toward realizing Hayekian pricing and transforming these debates so all that value reasonably bounded liberty can advance and realize their optimum world or at least transform the world to a system that better helps them quantify, visualize and plan how to realize their goals.

We sit on the precipice of the transformation of coercion backed inflation full central bank funny money. The total value of the crypto market may well be the total quantity of money which may well be around global GDP. If it is possible to capture these monopolies and other natural monopolies, goods that function under increasing returns to scale—like social networks, those concerned with social justice may well have the opportunity to nearly instantly eviscerate global poverty and provide the resources to help preserve biodiversity no matter how climate changes. We need not even wait until 2020 for some hopefully pure enough representative to move the weights of the world in the direction we want. If projections imply the Maldives may be destroyed by climate change, perhaps we should provide the tools for those concerned with biodiversity to help start constructing levies or other interventions that may protect these habitats. Not just large projects but trash cleanups, and visiting with elders in the community and seeing that all have a good decent life and have access to important resources and the maximum quality of life at the lowest cost possible are all possible if we use our dollars and our time to demand a new world. We have the ability to radically improve our communities, and that is what the Year -1 movement is.

This movement is a Port Huron statement for a new generation liberated by blockchain against subversion via programs like the FBI’s Co Intel Pro. We will provide the resources necessary to make all information free and all software free by the end of 2018. 2019 will be the first year of this new world, and to mark it, a new calendar system will be set with ACE following the date as after common era. The common era is for when humanity comes together to evolve past arbitrary state coercion and takes a stand for private property and voluntary association worldwide—the year we realize the Dream of Martin Luther King and end his nightmare.

If people want to live in a drug free community they should be allowed. If people want to live in a drug full society they should be allowed. If people want to live in an abortion full society they should be allowed. If people want to live in a society without abortion they should be allowed. If people want to live in a gun full society they should be allowed. If people want to live in a gun free society they should be allowed. But where does it end?

Perhaps universal norms shall be adopted that prevent institutionalization of horrendous acts. Perhaps some overaching universal laws should liberate people from involuntarily being in a society that sacrifices them for the benefit of their fellow person. Perhaps a society should not be permitted to sexualize children. Perhaps some level of central enforcement for fundamental human dignity and to protect private property and catalyze voluntary association. But even the costs of this level of central apparatus may be able to be financed voluntarily without the necessity of coercion backed taxation.

First, people should not be made at the barrel of a gun to support things they otherwise would not. People should not be forced at the barrel of a gun to fuel unending wars that mass murder enemy combatants and destroy civil liberties at home and abroad just to boost the stock value of Boeing and Lockheed Martin to prop up a slowly fading era of American global hegemony. People should no longer be forced at the barrel of a gun to finance sending their neighbors to cages for failed drug wars that don’t even get drugs off the street. That force clandestine organizations like the CIA to run drugs to prevent the formation of narco terrorists independent of American hegemonic influence due to the impossible domestic policies of what are essentially the lowest of the low and are anything but leaders.

Second, we as those who want a new world need to embrace having a discussion of a new world and work together to build it and demonstrate that we can evolve past arbitrary isntitutionalized central government, while ensuring that all people can live dignified lives and be provided access to skills and education if they want it. We should realize a world where all are empowered to make even nicer lives if they choose to contribute to society by helping expand this world of technological abundance. Does anyone really lose out if we realize a society where all who want to become educated about medicine or law or physics or anything is liberated from tasks a machine can do and enabled the chance to help expand aggregate production to the benefit society?

Eight months before having his voice snuffed out, in his last speech to SCLC—what Aldon Morris might assert as an “institutional center of the civil rights movement”--after advocating directly ending global poverty via a guaranteed annual income, ending the pointless war in Vietnam and emphasizing the importance of nonviolence and, non-state, market based interventions such as boycotts via things like Operation Breadbasket in Cleveland Ohio, Dr. Martin Luther King asserted thus at 54min 8 sec:

“I want to say to you as I move to my conclusion, as we talk about "Where do we go from here?" that we must honestly face the fact that the movement must address itself to the question of restructuring the whole of American society. (Yes) There are forty million poor people here, and one day we must ask the question, "Why are there forty million poor people in America?" And when you begin to ask that question, you are raising a question about the economic system, about a broader distribution of wealth. When you ask that question, you begin to question the capitalistic economy.

(Yes) And I'm simply saying that more and more, we've got to begin to ask questions about the whole society. We are called upon to help the discouraged beggars in life's marketplace. (Yes) But one day we must come to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring. (All right) It means that questions must be raised. And you see, my friends, when you deal with this you begin to ask the question, "Who owns the oil?" (Yes) You begin to ask the question, "Who owns the iron ore?" (Yes) You begin to ask the question, "Why is it that people have to pay water bills in a world that's two-thirds water?" (All right) These are words that must be said. (All right)

Now, don't think you have me in a bind today. I'm not talking about communism. What I'm talking about is far beyond communism. (Yeah) My inspiration didn't come from Karl Marx (Speak); my inspiration didn't come from Engels; my inspiration didn't come from Trotsky; my inspiration didn't come from Lenin. Yes, I read Communist Manifesto and Das Kapital a long time ago (Well), and I saw that maybe Marx didn't follow Hegel enough. (All right) He took his dialectics, but he left out his idealism and his spiritualism. And he went over to a German philosopher by the name of Feuerbach, and took his materialism and made it into a system that he called "dialectical materialism." (Speak) I have to reject that.
What I'm saying to you this morning is communism forgets that life is individual. (Yes) Capitalism forgets that life is social.

(Yes, Go ahead) And the kingdom of brotherhood is found neither in the thesis of communism nor the antithesis of capitalism, but in a higher synthesis. (Speak) [applause] It is found in a higher synthesis (Come on) that combines the truths of both. (Yes) Now, when I say questioning the whole society, it means ultimately coming to see that the problem of racism, the problem of economic exploitation, and the problem of war are all tied together. (All right) These are the triple evils that are interrelated.

And if you will let me be a preacher just a little bit. (Speak) One day [applause], one night, a juror came to Jesus (Yes sir) and he wanted to know what he could do to be saved. (Yeah) Jesus didn't get bogged down on the kind of isolated approach of what you shouldn't do. Jesus didn't say, "Now Nicodemus, you must stop lying." (Oh yeah) He didn't say,

"Nicodemus, now you must not commit adultery." He didn't say, "Now Nicodemus, you must stop cheating if you are doing that." He didn't say, "Nicodemus, you must stop drinking liquor if you are doing that excessively." He said something altogether different, because Jesus realized something basic (Yes): that if a man will lie, he will steal. (Yes) And if a man will steal, he will kill. (Yes) So instead of just getting bogged down on one thing, Jesus looked at him and said, "Nicodemus, you must be born again." [applause]

In other words, "Your whole structure (Yes) must be changed." [applause] A nation that will keep people in slavery for 244 years will "thingify" them and make them things. (Speak) And therefore, they will exploit them and poor people generally economically. (Yes) And a nation that will exploit economically will have to have foreign investments and everything else, and it will have to use its military might to protect them. All of these problems are tied together. (Yes) [applause]

What I'm saying today is that we must go from this convention and say, "America, you must be born again!" [applause] (Oh yes)

And so, I conclude by saying today that we have a task, and let us go out with a divine dissatisfaction. (Yes)

Let us be dissatisfied until America will no longer have a high blood pressure of creeds and an anemia of deeds. (All right)

Let us be dissatisfied (Yes) until the tragic walls that separate the outer city of wealth and comfort from the inner city of poverty and despair shall be crushed by the battering rams of the forces of justice. (Yes sir)

Let us be dissatisfied (Yes) until those who live on the outskirts of hope are brought into the metropolis of daily security.

Let us be dissatisfied (Yes) until slums are cast into the junk heaps of history (Yes), and every family will live in a decent, sanitary home.

Let us be dissatisfied (Yes) until the dark yesterdays of segregated schools will be transformed into bright tomorrows of quality integrated education.

Let us be dissatisfied until integration is not seen as a problem but as an opportunity to participate in the beauty of diversity.

Let us be dissatisfied (All right) until men and women, however black they may be, will be judged on the basis of the content of their character, not on the basis of the color of their skin. (Yeah) Let us be dissatisfied. [applause]

Let us be dissatisfied (Well) until every state capitol (Yes) will be housed by a governor who will do justly, who will love mercy, and who will walk humbly with his God.

Let us be dissatisfied [applause] until from every city hall, justice will roll down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream. (Yes)

Let us be dissatisfied (Yes) until that day when the lion and the lamb shall lie down together (Yes), and every man will sit under his own vine and fig tree, and none shall be afraid.

Let us be dissatisfied (Yes), and men will recognize that out of one blood (Yes) God made all men to dwell upon the face of the earth. (Speak sir)

Let us be dissatisfied until that day when nobody will shout, "White Power!" when nobody will shout, "Black Power!" but everybody will talk about God's power and human power.”

Discovery Channel’s “Tesla's Death Ray: A Murder Declassified” it is amazing how technology has been suppressed. Google’s chief technologist, Ray Kurzweil, estimates we will have computers as smart as humans by 2029. We already have biped robots and robotic hands it seems we shall soon have the ability to automate any human labor not valued for the human element—for what more is human labor than tasks from intelligent bipeds with poseable thumbs? Indeed Jeremy Rifkin’s End of Work makes a convincing case that the “Luddite Fallacy,” that the net number of jobs decreases as technology advances, has already expired or is about to expire. Though Joseph Schumpeter is correct about creative destruction as an economy develops, what can possible fill the labor time of a civilization in a society in a technological singularity with increasingly perfect information especially if and when there is a unified physics theory? So much human information even the coercively backed “black letter law” is hidden from the plebians behind paywalls to condemn those who want information into debt and slavery to untrustworthy institutions non concerned with actual public welfare. Furthermore to add insults and injury, since 1952 beyond hiding publicly collected information behind paywalls the US government has actively stifled technological advance via statutes like the National Invention Secrecy Act which may be currently preventing around 5,000 patents from entering the market.

Crony statism is actively dividing the American people in the interests of private military industrial intelligence incarceraction complex. As discussed by the Joint Chief of Staff’s Joint Vision 2020, they actively plan to put people in cages or worse for victimless conduct worldwide for the foreseeable future.

The time is now. This may be one if not the last chances to retake our world before the ISP’s and social media for profit corporations recapture the information distribution networks. We still have the chance to shut down this madness and realize Dr. King’s Dream, a peaceful world where all people can be free to be incentivized to provide good quality products to their fellow person and all people can be empowered to vote with their dollar to create and consume the realities and communities they choose for themselves.

Will you please join me in making 2018 year -1? Will you please commit to a crypto Christmas campaign and decisively commit to providing me the opportunity to source all or a significant portion of your Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and/or Festivus related purchases if I can source you the highest quality good at the lowest cost while helping to right the direction of this world run amok?

We can still be free someday. We need only stand up and overthrow the monopoly board those with untoward interests have created a mirage for others to keep playing.
