I sincerely look forward to your futuristic improved economic system, capitalism is lacking in many important areas.



The world hasn't seen Capitalism proper. Too much regulation, too little laissez faire to argue from experience that it's lacking in any area.

Blame the government (or, dare I say, its unfettered expansion).


I was so sick and tiered of hearing that capitalism is the best system we have, "theres nothing better", that I designed a new world order. It is better than capitalism by a very long way. It's a complicated idea, slightly difficult to grasp, but given any problem it will robustly yield the best result for the community.

Sorry on the first 10 or so pages I saw just blah blah. Don't spam the forum here if you have nothing to offer.


To give you one idea about the design and how it would treat people like you within it, (I notice that your kama on HN (jerry5) is -10) The creatocracy recognizes that one size does not fit all, treats all according to their history and respect. You would find that your voice counted less with regards voting rights and you may well find that if your attitude became a burden on others that your tax level would rise higher than others.

Self organizing self regulating. Feedback is an essential component!


Why do so many of the "better than capitalism" theories insist on "we will punish you for your thoughts"?


clearly if your thoughts are to pollute or exploit nature or others - you should be treated accordingly. This fuckfest that capitalism has become allows companies who exploit etc. to be treated the same as mum and pop biz's who really care to do a good job. That is insane.


The karma system is a popularity contest as discussed in the various Hacker-News-is-going-down-the-drain discussions that have been popping up here a lot as of late. To any one who grew up with /. that's not a surprise.

In that respect I found kuro5hin quite interesting in, as it seperates out how many people voted the post/comment up or down. I wrote posts that had a lot of people agree (5 points) and a lot disagree (1 point) with very few in the middle ground, i.e. the audience was divided. I loved that. It means you are not sucking up to the majority yet not writing utter crap. Had you just computed the point average then that information would've gotten lost.


kuro5hin is an interesting site thank you for that tip. That said the concept of feedback from ones peers and past business transactions is of significant magnitude better than to that of no data whatsoever!

And from what little you have said I get the distinct impression that you would be all up for the creatocracy when you realized that you would not be lumped in with everyone else and your voice was counted according to the merits of your history as well as your arguments.


it seems to me that you have really nothing to offer, considering you can only manage 10 pages and a one line comment. If you only want the design and not the reasons for it then you can start here, http://web.archive.org/web/20060615193321/creatocracy.com/pr...


No one needs the reasons spelt out for them. That the current system has deficiencies is more or less painfully obvious to everyone. I may read some of your stuff later.


strangely, this seems to be a new awaking, when originally written and project started in about 2002, it was painful how ignorant people were in general of the impending doom. That said I take on board your point that there is no longer need for an introduction.


If you wan to mock someone why not mock the original post that's asking for new economic models?
