A Vindication of the Rights of Woman and Third Wave Blackism

What percentage of the population supports dehumanisation? Perhaps we might find that the people have something to say about corporate exploitation of the human body? Maybe we don't agree with the corporate lawyers on their definition of obscenity, let alone their definition of speech? Or is it too late - have we all become addicted to power? What would Mary Wollstonecraft have to say about this? Has not the very thing we sought to destroy (sexual exploitation) in desexing the vote / removing the presupposition of family become the end of our education?

Electronic democracy - restoring freedom through referendum (giving individuals choice in policy)

The following is a proposal for an Electronic democracy - restoring freedom through referendum (giving individuals choice in policy):
  • open politics [centralised electronic database of all policy - allows voting on individual policies (mini referendums) - allows international comparisons] - removes politicians
An obvious advantage of this system, is that it would instantaneously deny any attempt to impose rules on people where the majority does not wish such regulation (e.g the protection of advertising material / obscenity, that might otherwise be called "public property"). Disadvantages of course being the application of budgeting, and the resolution of conflicting policies.

Evolution of markets - computerisation of the economy (bureaucracy, finance, accounting, taxation, law, scientific literature, and medical diagnosis)

Here is a web-integration idea set relating to the evolution of markets and computerisation of the economy (electronic centralisation of bureaucracy, finance, accounting, taxation, law, scientific literature, and medical diagnosis):
  • open accounting [centralised electronic database of all transactions {assumes cash is abolished} - applies taxation automatically] - removes accountants
  • open law [centralised electronic database of all laws and punishments - applies judgements automatically] - removes lawyers
  • open product/service [centralised electronic database containing user experience for commercial entities, products/services] - encourages competition
  • open infrastructure [centralised electronic database containing a location aware review of government services - eg speeding limits, signage, traffic, investment in scientific research/energy, etc] - increases public involvement
  • open science [centralised electronic database of all research - all information structured in hierarchies - supporting links between intra/inter-hierarchy nodes (eg between process hierarchies {cancer - chemical induction - neural dysfunction - death}, and substance hierarchies {living system - animal - genre - species}). Supports access to raw/processed data, analysis, and conclusions; for critique of current/established hierarchy. Scientists enter all relevant data based upon their experiment while or instead of submitting a refereed paper. Standards relating the referencing of scientific data in scientific papers is being discussed as part of the development of Web 3.0 / semantic web initiative - but this goes beyond this in having the ability to replace papers entirely] - optimises research (re)use

Reverse augmented reality - from AdBlock to non-virtual content aware filters

With the growing involuntary saturation of advertising in society, it becomes evident that filters will be designed to restore peace where desired. AdBlock first brought us virtual content aware filters of advertising material in 2006.

I propose Reverse Augmented Reality - non-virtual content aware filters (technology that shuts out information from the outside world). Such technology needn't be restricted to advertising material, but could be used to target any content the user desires. For example, it could be used as a mature content filter for children.

[UPDATE] Augmented Reality applications could also be designed to overlay offensive material, for example with that which is (less provocative and) more beautiful. "More pirates".
