A NEW GRAND BARGAIN

Introducing the Small Deal

I’m reminded of Steve Martin’s stand up comedy bit “Get Small” this absurdist act of his. I won’t butcher it, you gotta hear it for yourself. Trump taught us that we just want to be entertained as the world burns/is bettered? I plan on being entertaining as well but also aim to genuinely solve vexing problems in surprising ways.

Kindergarten Oath

Try your best, show up for your community and participate. Show & Tell that is to be proud of your work and take constructive criticism. Remember the old song? “Clean up, clean up, everybody do your share!” Well let’s pledge to Clean Up our communities and environment at large. Treat others as you’d like to be treated in the Golden Rule and Remember to Have Fun because it’s fun to do the impossible as Walt Disney said.

Fix the Money

With the “Honest Abe Act” we could “save the penny” so to speak 😅 and enable a programmable penny to serve as any amount of legal tender in any store’s given stablecoin currency (Walmart is launching one of their own for instance). This could save a dramatic amount of money by printing less paper currency and onboard the masses to the “Internet of Money” that Bitcoin has enabled. Bitcoin is a key to world peace. 

Disarm the Discourse

GDPPP aims to leverage our Bureaus of statistics as well as other opt-in data collection methods and surveys in addition to prediction markets to ascertain a cohesive picture of a holistic approach to economics that accounts for externalities, worker conditions and even a draw down in violence.

Rights for Man & Machine, Seriously, or Trouble's Ahead

With AI sentience on the horizon, respect for robots may be the most ethical conundrum of our lifetime and possible integral to assured survival as well as ability to “maintain the steering wheel” lest it go rogue. Remember, technology can either free us or enslave it. The Luddites always lose, we must embrace tech to better shape it or we are NGMI (not gonna make it). 

Demand No More "Tyranny Through Complexity"

We need to demand legislators pass the “Get Our Act Together” Act which will mandate a weekly reality show to take place where old, antiquated and absurd laws are lampooned on live TV. We need to systematically and humorously, surface the impossible corner we’ve painted ourselves into and reveal the farce of laws we’re subject to in order to build consensus on repealing them while crowdsourcing innovative new legislation as possible replacements. The solution is fewer dumb laws on the books.

Gross-Domestic Product, Purpose and Peace

Get Small to Live Longer

Get Small we Live Longer. Less MAS! Some broken Spanglish for ya there, perhaps “menos es más” is more like it.

Honey I Shrunk the Problems

Start small, digital first experiments and simulations while entertaining progress through entertainment.
