This website is for developing ideas and practical solutions to help bring forward the coming post-scarcity age. We intend there to be a practical side to the project, putting the ideas into action to help progress society in a positive direction, and not just to exist for pure discourse and speculation.

It is not an encylopedia. The idea is to use the flexible nature of a wiki to collaborate and evolve ideas relating to advancing civilization. As such the guidelines for how to contribute are different to a project such as Wikipedia:

  1. There is no 'neutral point of view' policy. There is no problem with people contributing material that expresses their point of view - this is necessary for discussion.
  1. We are looking for people who can contribute positively to this project. Criticism is fine, but it should be constructive, somehow adding to the evolution of the project.

Something about dispersing the knowledge too.
