It's early in the morning here. I couldn't sleep and I figured, why not start a discussion.

I've gone through a number of your posts that I thought would help me better understand your comment. I may have missed the main treatise because I'm still struggling to fully understand. It is clear that you have been considering this solution for some time and while Medium is a fairly inadequate medium for discussion, let's give it a shot.

My concern is "scale". Good heavens, I would be a card-carrying Communist if only I could see any evidence that it could scale. Marx's analysis of the problem is second to none; but, as I've discussed in several essays, no one has managed to get his solution to scale beyond the size of a village (see The Findhorn Collective). So, I am really interested in how you would see this actually work at a practical level.

When Yang started pushing UBI, my first thought was that this would be an excellent excuse to eliminate all other "welfare" programs and then scale back the UBI in deference to "austerity" leaving everyone with no income and no safety net. I can't imagine a rich person (someone hoarding the common wealth) proposing anything like this for any other reason.

I consider the innovative response to the scaling problem introduced by Lenin: set up small-scale Communist collectives (soviets) and coordinate them from the central government. Brilliant idea, but soon corrupted by those seeking power and wealth.

I'm hoping to see a more detailed explanation of your suggestion along with more detail on the precise mechanism. For example, what is the significance of the 1.25%? I'm guessing there's some math behind that. In a world with very different climates, resources and cultures, how do we standardize on a single currency and interest rate without running into the same problem that the Soviet Union did, where productive regions thrived and unproductive regions couldn't keep up and were subject to violent sanction?

I'm doing research for my next book on the psychology of the Trump cult and how to address that kind of mania constructively on a national scale. I'm accumulating source materials for the book after that intended to propose an engineering solution to politics generally. I have no idea if I can get my head around that but I intend to try.

For that reason, your suggestion intrigues me, but I'm unable to figure out what thoughts in my head are your concrete proposal and what are my imagination. Are you planning or have you produced a detailed manifesto so that I can properly categorize my internal reaction to your proposal?

Many thanks for comment.
