The Blockchain State part 2: The free movement of people and the protection of environmental resources

in blockchain •  7 years ago 

This is the second piece I am writing as a conceptual system of solving current problems based on my proposal called the blockchain state. The objective is to share the idea of a duality monetary system based on blockchain technology that works on the simple mantra of do good, find goodness

While there has been much debate about migrants and the environment, I would like to share a perspective on how the blockchain state can solve these two very complicated issues in a simple manner that is effective and sustainable.  First I'd like to qualify my lack of political, social and scientific credentials with street wisdom and the immigrant school of life I was born into. 

The act of leaving your homeland and social fabric behind has powerful undercurrents of motivation to leave sight of the shore for the horizon.  While talk of political solutions is outside the realm of this post, I would like to focus on the motivations that compel humans to walk away from everything they have known.  These motivations I will group in to personal safety and lack of food as the primary branches with many sub-branches that feed off of those two.

In the blockchain state part 1, I introduced the idea of a duality monetary system based on hard units and (soft) goodness units that are interlinked.  If we take this system into looking at environmental issues. There would be an incentive to those affected by natural and manmade negative environmental situations. This would provide an opposing powerful undercurrent, not to give up on farming/gathering/hunting lands. What if we used the example in part 1, where the retired teacher in Scandinavia created a crowdfunding drive through their community to support famished farming communities through a combination of hard and soft units, that would have a predetermined rate of return for the hard unit side into the future and a large balance of soft units that could be applied to their pensions with a reasonable exchange rate. This could fund essential emergency supplies as well as longer term solutions.

With all the talk of exits and walls going up.  What if the formula for entry into a "nation state" was qualified not on an ethnicity, nationality or religious background but simply on the balance of soft units in your account and to a lessor extent on the hard units.  For example; If you have invested in your education, there is a fair amount of value you can provide (teachers get the highest rewards, as they really are catalysts), if you have acted in an upstanding manner to your society (peer judged) that would enable you to accumulate soft units.  This is where the tipping point is, where the amount of soft units required to immigrate or work across another border equals a large effort that almost makes it not as attractive as building on the current success of your existing  life.

 In the case of a persecuted people, what if the solution was entirely made available for every human to have the capacity to up vote (learning steemit lingo) and respond with a financial penalty on the infringing side? I learned early in grade school that fights that only involve a few punches can be dealt with, however once a foe has a knife, it becomes an arms race. Moral of the story: Ding the folks that allow weaponization.  Provide financial incentive to nations that uplift the human condition through contributions in healthcare, science and education.  

The final component is to have a mutually agreed upon minimum balance of soft units earned by simple acts of kindness and charity to enable the free movement of people, therefore besides having the basics to feed & house yourself (combination of hard & soft units) each nation is allowed to set a minimum threshold of soft units they wish to allow, which would could ultimately be earned through improving the human condition in your homeland or in other lands which have a current need (a financial exchange that sets reward rates based on actual needs).
