Episode notes

There's theoretical arguments between the proponents of ranked choice and range choice voting. Idon't know force likes the red button, which is at any time a majority of people say that we want to cancel the current executive, press the red button. And then when the consensus process is done and the consensus is reached on the executive function, the consensus disappears and the executive does its thing. It could bea way how committees reappoint themselves, includes the personnel who are the first members of the committees, et cetera. The only democratic feature left is the red button,. as i call it. O interesting.

Our guest in this episode is Jim Rutt, a systems thinker, host of the Jim Rutt Show podcast, and former key player in several technology companies. He was also the Chairman of Santa Fe Institute, where he was working in the scientific study of consciousness and evolutionary artificial intelligence.

We had Jim as a guest on the show a year ago, where he did an introduction to the concept of GameB and talked about the history of the movement.

Today we want to catch up with Jim about some of the ways that the concepts of GameB are being applied in practice. Earlier this year, he published a Medium article called A Journey to GameB, which lists lots of practical steps for transitioning into this new social operating system.
