Operational Aspects of Transparency for World Transformation

  • With respect to bureaucracy - if people are more informed, gummit does not have to bottleneck decisionmaking - such as 'you can't build this eco feature on your house without a bureaucrat's approval'. Decisionmaking becomes more distributed, leading to win-win for the customer and bureaucrat.
  • Any plan for 'small gummit' must be matched by explicit measures to upskill the population to take over the task overseen by the gummit', so people manage themselves. This is challenging in a consumer society, in which 'big brother' must retain a large role.
  • Thus, one must be careful about the Lord of the Flies whenever 'adult supervision' is removed
