Concordancy is the name of my Vision of a system designed to organize and manage a complex and technologically advanced society. I believe that the traditional structures and systems that we are currently using are outdated, inefficient, undemocratic and no longer fit for purpose. What I shall be proposing here is the creation of a new, independent set of structures with the aim of establishing a far more equitable and clearly superior society, which in time will force traditional structures to adapt or perish. Concordancy will not win through battle or bloodshed; it shall simply be shown to be a better way of managing human affairs. A society organized along the concepts and ideas here outlined will inevitably be shown to be more efficient, caring, just and wealthy.
The truth is that, actually, self-governed and/or decentralized systems are able to offer a set of tools and possibilities that are far more efficient, transparent, effective and above all more democratic than those of times past; how likely do you think it is that a system of government that was designed back in the 19th century is anywhere close to the best possible form of governance possible in our modern world today?
See – what’s really going on is that the powers that be have no motivation to realize let alone admit just how obsolete and cantankerous their procedures really are. Many regular folks believe such systems essential, a necessity… crucial for social order! Alas, with the advent of the Internet in general and the maturing of decentralized trustless systems in particular we now have everything we need to make an enormous step forward and make efficient and direct management of most human affairs a reality.
This is not going to be some libertarian nightmare about small government or property rights. This isn’t about any kind of anarchy either. Relax. The plan is not to get rid of governing affairs altogether; rather, it is about governing them with far superior efficiency, at greater speed and at much lower costs.
Over the course of the last 15 years or so, you may have noticed that governments no longer have the initiative; rather than deciding our “next move”, for the most part they are reacting to events happening outside their control, constantly playing catch-up while hoping no one notices they are just as surprised as the next guy.
So – this website here is intended to propose and make a case for an entirely different way of doing things. It is not… an ideology, nor some set of rules one supposedly ought to live by. Concordancy expressly rejects the very notion that anybody has the right to tell anyone else how to lead a “good” life.
Rather, I shall be taking a dispassionate and critical look at a number of seemingly essential systems and institutions that just a few decades ago would have seemed unchangeable… and I shall round-house kick whatever might pass as a justification for their existence into the trash bin of history. Things like personal identity for example, or the idea that a nation-state should have any authority over who you are. There are many concepts, some even more ridiculous, that shall be shown to be a relic and a useless obstacle to progress.
True to form, I will also explain in exact and most sincere detail how such a society will gradually come into being. There are a number of projects that I’ll be introducing into the world, each one of them a small but important step towards raising awareness of what Concordancy means and why you want to live in one. Needless to say, consider yourself invited to dispute, ridicule or otherwise poke holes in the ideas and concepts discussed. I’ll gladly make them even better! One thing though – “because that’s how we’ve always done things” is not an argument. Saying that makes you part of the problem.
Don’t be part of the problem. Join the solution.
