By making up for the time and space differences so we can listen to each other in a scalable fashion.
-
Transparency — 
Participation — 
Accountability — 
Inclusion, as explained in this video (with English captions). -
So far, it has encouraged engagement from young people and from career civil servants — two groups traditionally with less agenda-setting power on public issues. As for the future, please refer to this conversation with Asaf Ronel.
-
The current processes for listening does not scale as well as broadcasting. We are working on that.
-
We’re seeing the methodology spreading internationally, though it is collaborative and not at all competitive.
-
I have no idea.
-
I think it’s an interesting rethink from representative systems, but at the moment I’m mostly exploring systems involving direct re-presentation of stakeholders.
-
Yes, there was some early experiments of this concept.
-
I’m not aware of any data proving — as in conclusively demonstrating — this, but I’m happy to learn about it if there is.
-
I think voting systems with secure properties is useful, though it does not necessarily involve blockchain systems.
-
Although secure voting systems does not necessarily involve blockchains, there has been encouraging research throughout this year that points toward this direction, which I’m following with interest.
-
Please refer to this conversation with Martin Legros. Through recursive communities.

I did not start the g0v movement. It was started late 2012 by my very good friend CL Kao and three of his friends. The way g0v works is this — we have a slogan, called “Fork the Government.” Fork has a very specific meaning in open-source development. It means take whatever is here, not rejecting it, but taking it to a different direction.
-
Please refer to RFC7282 for “rough consensus”. One who defends with love will be secure (夫慈，以守則固).
-
It takes technological, it takes educational, it takes an awareness of people’s responsibility to each other, for as long as it takes, it would take all sides to solve this. Eventually we’ll solve it.
-
A slow, but sure, transition.
-
The Holopolis international research project, collaboratively designed with our re:architect Shuyang, is a lot of fun.
-
I’m optimistic — and optimizing — for fun. I think the greatest danger is that we stop seeing, we stop reflecting, and that our vision we have for the future becomes a tunnel vision of a future, that only allows one possibility and excludes everybody out.
-
Yes. Please refer to this detailed writeup.
-
The Occupy movements made popular low‑cost, effective tools, that allow people to self‑organize.
