What do we need?

====> Productive, clear, honest discourse must be protected from disruption

[laws can help provide for this]

[decentralised technology can help this, by providing ways of managing exposure to others' behavior with anonymity and censorship resistance]

[mostly this requires acting on some very clear experience-rooted discourse, and defense of the people able to have that discourse.]

====> Authority and government must have complete public transparency. Secret wars are already too much escalation of conflict.

This could be done with simply laws to provide for it.

This is obviously a good thing, and that is demonstrated by how it will emerge on its own as blockchain video/audio/data-logging technology grows. Any work on on-chain video/audio/data-logging seems helpful to me.

====> Accountability processes must be accessible and honest.

[this can also be produced with laws that improve our legal system, such as work near community-led restorative justice]

[this also emerges on its own from blockchain technologies]

====> Even the smallest, most ignored people must be able to provide crucial information to influence decisions. These people are whom big coverups land on. ====> Anybody must be able to call out problems, and have transparent demonstration that their words are acted on. ====> The people must be able to freely interrupt the processes of a government to effect change. When this last resort is reached, it clearly indicates that something important has been left out for a long time. [there must be a way to communicate across any boundaries]
