Abbé Faria: Learning does not make one learned: there are those who have knowledge and those have understanding. The first requires memory, the second philosophy.
Edmond Dantes: But can’t one learn philosophy?
Abbé Faria: Philosophy cannot be taught, Philosophy is the union of all acquired knowledge and the genius that applies it: philosophy is the shining cloud upon which Christ set his foot to ascend to heaven.
From The Count of Montecristo, Alexandre Dumás, 1844
AI THAT SUPPORTS HUMAN INITIATIVE
Of what use is a soul to an AI?
What use is a heart to an AI?
Of what value is a vagus nerve for an AI?
Heart and soul are of no use to an AI, They “do not compute”. However these questions are about the place of humanity in the universe and important to continued human existence.
Large language models are useful and safe but it is folly to imaging they can be used for decisions for which heart and soul are essential. This is the lesson of the ancient fable of Babylon.
OYG uses cloud technology for the possibility of global consciousness, without sacrificing diversity: accomplishing unity without compromising inclusion. OYG i uses AI to support this these goals in some innovative ways.
THE GENIUS IS HUMAN
Own Your Government uses cloud technology to allow individuals to use the collective voice of their communities to address local and global problems, and to use their collective weight to set the agenda for governments. With OYG, people can shape the priorities, policies, budgets and decisions of governmental bodies to help communities flourish.
OYG provides an autonomous network to communities that everyone can use to connect and build consensus to weigh in about important decisions, to organize action.
Community members can use all the digital tools on the network–everything they need to organize, create wealth, create sustainable solutions and set the agenda for their government.
The network also provides salient information and access to other platforms without tracking or advertising.
AUTONOMOUS COMMUNITIES
Only community members can post information and poll the community.
Communities manage their platforms by consensus using the polling features of the app.
Everyone in the community can poll the community, upload videos and/or text. They may use the platform to connect, create events, weigh in and build consensus on issues, collaborate and organize action.
Community members can access all the tools on the network–including everything they need to organize, socialize and set the agenda for government.
In smart communities...
...people weigh in...
...and make things happen!

SMART POLITICAL elements
COMMUNITY-OWNED
An OYG supported community is a self-identifying geographic part of a city, region, state or nation. Residents log into a community's OYG network with a smart phone or browser. Neighborhood OYG affiliates may provide cost-free smartphones or tablets.
Security
A community's OYG network exists as encrypted data in redundant servers, with strong privacy protection of personal information, voting data and outcome of polls, using security procedures equal to financial institutions.
VERIFIED CONSENSUS
Every registered member on a network may post a poll to the community. When responses to the poll reach a statistically relevant threshhold, consensus is reported to media, and government officials.

OYG DATA
Backend technologies
Privacy and Blockchain
We use Blockchain to protect identities and ensure the integrity of poll results, digitally-signed documents, chat history and video recordings from theft, corruption, ransomware, and loss. Historical data and legal documents are protected with bank-level encryption and a tamper-proof checksum hash.
AI and NLP
We use AI and NLP to parse poll questions and apply semantic similarity to find similar issues being polled in other communities to derive broader consensus on import issues. We use AI on chat posts and comments to detect offensive or vulgar language, and attributes such as tension, anger, ad hominem speech, as well as non-factual assertions.
Decentralized Architecture
Each community runs on its own server node or “instance” with inter-regional data redundancy. This allows our platform to redeploy the instance quickly and automatically in another data center, if the original node goes down due to network latency, regional downtime, data corruption or a network attack.
Your community can participate in our pilot program!
