Technology

Humans make and use tools. We're not the only animals to do that - but we do it best. As far as we know...

Access to tools has allowed some humans to have power over others for at least 10,000 years - since the technological discovery of agriculture led to the social discovery of property rights.

Due to the human natures of cooperation and story telling, we have developed tool making to the point of being capable of destroying our own biosphere. Controlling technology in the interests of all of humanity is now more important than ever.

The internet is possibly the most powerful tool ever created so far, and as with any tool, control of it gives some people power over others.

The future of humanity requires that we create democracy on the internet and in the real world.
