Decentralization offers two major benefits: 1. Bad ideas have less reach. 2. Other territories offer a contrast to highlight bad ideas and serve as a laboratory of ideas to see what is successful and worth emulating.
-
I'm glad these ideas are becoming more prevalent. The age of the faceless bureaucracy must end.

I was just talking to a friend about the situation in Oregon. How the coastal city areas have different values then the rural areas. The rural areas feel like they have zero representation and the states laws negatively affect their way of life. This video has impeccable timing, we need smaller units of power, not large nation states that grow in size. I think this is a good start to a whole new way of looking at how to govern humans and provide them the freedoms they wish to have.
-
This type of content is risen on the internet lately. And I love it. This ideas are a threat to the status quo, the matrix, to the masters of puppets. It should be spread.
-
The content is, as always, excellent. But I must say I liked the usual presenter more. Hope he comes back!
-
I literally was just talking to my son about this this morning. I reaLLy believe small, decentralised is the solution.
-
Your voice is a part of this channels identity. Stay with it. / Keep up the good work!
-
The fact that this would work and spread power out to more people is precisely why the people who currently have the power will not allow this happen.
-
Another great video! Although I might skip the forced accents while reading from these passages...
-
Honestly, I prefer the guy who usually narrates the videos. As far as decentralization, ofc there is a better way, we just don't know what that way is. I would say in general smaller is better, but not in every case. Perhaps some subscription type service that extends beyond even geographic borders. You choose the sort of government you want from a set of alternatives and are able to change it if you don't like the result. There needs to be more competition to promote better outcomes.
-
Complexity Theory, which is the best mathematical tool we currently have to study complex systems, points to decentralization being the solution. Centralization yields greater efficiency at the cost of more fragility to things like food shortages, political corruption, epidemics, etc. Sadly, once a system becomes too centralized, it usually takes some sort of catastrophe to reverse it.
-
I appreciate AOI trying to keep things fresh. The guest narrator's regular voice sounded good, but when he tried to mimic the accents of the quoted authors, it came off rather cartoonish.
-
Carry on we admire your efforts
-
Much love to ya'll. Stay strong, keep getting better every day, and do what needs to be done whether you feel like it or not.
-
There is one big flaw in this approach. Actually this flaw makes this ideas a fiction. The problem is geography. Not all places on earth can manifest small regional powers because they can’t produce enough resources due to geographical realities. For examples unfarmable areas, populations in that area most depend on other regions for foods, and the others may be dependent on some local resource they have. A web of codependence relationships makes this beneficial and a country can emerge.
-
The biggest problem to overcome is the fact that if you're not in an empire, you'll be crushed by one. Imagine Oregon trying to defend itself against the entirety of China
-
I'm in favor of no governments. I don't need a ruler over me. No one does. Voluntarism is the only way to thrive.
-
Totally for grouping like minded individuals together. Makes it easier to see what works and what doesn't.
-
I love these videos and hope to see many more to come. I didn't care much for the different little voices given to the authors in the narration, but it's an interesting idea to keep things fresh. Clifton did a great job overall though. Keep up the good work
