Their members would contribute predetermined amounts of money, and receive services purchased by the network. They would be operated to benefit their members, and their cryptoequity holders. They would all operate on blockchain systems to produce consensus, and would allow all of their members to vote on policies, elect representatives to administer employees. They would have no centralised administration, or board of directors. They would be owned by their cryptoequity holders, and operate as non-profit organisations. Unlike governments, they would not have monopolies on their service sectors, or coerce membership. <em><strong>Competition between collectives would act to improve the quality of services.</strong></em></p> <p><br></p> <p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/steemimgimgs/2016/10/24/blockchain-network04f0e.jpg" width="500" height="272"/></p> <p><a href="http://www.blockchaintechnologies.com">[Source]</a></p> <p><br></p> <h2>Decentralised Autonomous Governance is the process by which a group of people are governed by a consensus process generated through the use of autonomous software, utilising direct blockchain voting mechanisms.</h2> <p>The software is used to generate legislation, operate executive financial functions and provide interaction with public service collectives to enact the will of its citizens. Smart contracts can be used to interact with public service collectives on the behalf of their citizens, and collect finances from citizens to fund the selection of services provided. <em><strong>Citizenship of a Decentralised Autonomous Government would be voluntary, and contributions to them would be made on a voluntary exchange basis, not through taxation.</strong></em></p> <p><br></p> <p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/steemimgimgs/2016/10/24/blockchain-consensus9d550.jpg" width="1000" height="542"/></p> <p><a href="http://www.blockchaintechnologies.com/blockchain-definition">[Source]</a></p> <p><br></p> <h2>The Government you choose is better than the one you don't.</h2> <p><strong>Decentralised Autonomous Governments [DAGs] would interact with a wide variety of Independent Public Service collectives, and choose the best to provide services for their citizens. </strong>DAGs would provide their citizens with membership in competing Public service collectives, and would switch providers according to the votes of their citizens. Different DAGs would compete for citizens and utilise blockchain voting mechanisms to make decisions. Voting systems could be enacted by some hybrid between equal voting, contribution weighted voting, and stake weighted voting. The selected Public service collective would then be paid by the DAG for the services that they provide, and would be replaceable with competition according to the votes of citizens. <em><strong>Many existing services that are provided by the state through an involuntary coercive taxation process could be provided more effectively through a Public service collective.</strong></em></p> <p><br></p> <p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/steemimgimgs/2016/10/24/sca-process-performance-smart-contracts-simple-to-complexf8847.png" width="1439" height="678"/></p> <p><a href="http://www.pwc.com/us/en/technology-forecast/blockchain/digital-business.html">[Source]</a></p> <p><br></p> <h2>Identity registration and verification</h2> <p><strong>A fundamental function of government is to provide a record keeping infrastructure for the identity of their citizens, so that they can be verified.</strong> This could be accomplished much more efficiently by recording encrypted proofs of citizenship onto a blockchain, along with photographic identification. A chip providing decryption details for this record could be placed onto a citizenship card, and would contain all fundamental details that are currently recorded by governments, such as full name, current address, date of birth, country of birth, and gender. This blockchain entry would only be accessible with a decryption key, and would utilise time shifting encryption so that the decryption key shifts deterministically over time, similar to the way two factor authentication codes are generated. They would allow temporary access to the data recorded, and verify their accuracy. This could replace the existing functions of driver’s licences, passports, birth certificates, and many other documents. <em><strong>With this system, the individual would be in control of their data, and access would be granted on an as requested temporary basis.</strong></em></p> <p><br></p> <p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/steemimgimgs/2016/10/24/maxresdefault87cb9.jpg" width="1515" height="895"/></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iAg6BITPdc ">[Source]</a></p> <p><a href="https://bitnation.co/world-citizenship-id/">[Can be made here]</a></p> <h2>Property registration and land titles</h2> <p><strong>In a similar way to the process described for identity registration, property registration for cars, houses, land, or any other object could be recorded on a blockchain, and signed with an asymmetric key system to transfer ownership from one person to the next. </strong>These records would also be encrypted, and visible with a rotating decryption key, to be made available on an as requested temporary basis to prove ownership. Blockchain registration services would collaborate with Security, Arbitration, and Insurance collectives to provide secure systems of proof of ownership for claims on property. Merchants could implement this technology to transfer digital ownership of an object to its purchaser at the point of sale, providing a blockchain receipt, that can be transferred to later owners. <em><strong>This would produce a secure line of ownership history for any object.</strong></em></p> <p><br></p> <p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/steemimgimgs/2016/10/24/thinkstockphotos-482461333-100606518-primary.idgedd922.jpg" width="620" height="413"/></p> <p><a href="http://www.infoworld.com/article/3097478/application-development/make-git-work-for-global-teams.html">[Source]</a></p> <h2>Transport Infrastructure construction, operation and maintenance</h2> <p><strong>Transport Collectives could raise capital for the construction of new roads by selling road bonds, which pay out their principle, plus a percentage of the revenue earned from tolls paid in cryptocurrency automatically. </strong>Roads would be built by contractors hired by the collective, and the collective would hold ownership of the road on behalf of the bondholders, and pay for its maintenance from contractors. After the principle of the road bonds has been re earned, the road becomes the property of the transport collective. Transport collectives would charge a monthly membership fee to use the roads held by that collective, which pays for the maintenance of the existing roads, and the construction of new roads. The collective would find many competing quotes from contractors, and then vote for the most compelling offer. Bus networks, and train networks would operate by the same model, with monthly membership fees allowing unlimited usage, and tolls for infrastructure that is under financing. Transport collectives may choose to exchange freedom of access for members of other Transport Collectives, in the same way that ISPs exchange usage of their proprietary Cabling infrastructure. <em><strong>This would create a network of networks, where subscription to a single road service provider allows access to the entire road network.</strong></em></p> <p><br></p> <p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/steemimgimgs/2016/10/24/7568194-16x9-large.jpgv281d0a.jpg" width="700" height="394"/></p> <p><a href="http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/programs/hack/what-the-first-ever-automated-car-fatal-means-for-australia/7567024">[Source]</a></p> <p><br></p> <h2>Healthcare</h2> <p><strong>Healthcare Collectives would provide healthcare access to all their members, by selling bonds to finance infrastructure.</strong> They would hire doctors, surgeons, specialists, and pharmacists to create an integrated system of medical practice all under one roof. A general practitioner, dentist clinic, pharmacy, and hospital could all be combined into large facilities, to provide a unified healthcare experience to collective members. Healthcare professionals would compete for clients, who would choose their providers based on price, reputation, quality, and cost. Collectives would pay for healthcare services on behalf of their members, and would charge monthly membership fees that scale based on income over a marginal threshold (e.g. 90th percentile of income), and up to a cap (e.g 10th percentile of income). Membership in healthcare collectives would be contractually secured over a fixed period of time to ensure a solvent base of members to cover the healthcare costs of lower earning members, and more medically expensive members. Priority of choice of medical professionals, and higher quality service would be offered to higher net contributing members of the collective, and members that have net negative contributions to the collective are limited to a selection of the cheapest options. <em><strong>Healthcare records, like property records, could also be recorded on a blockchain and accessed and contributed to by healthcare professionals with permission from their owners.</strong></em></p> <p><br></p> <p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/steemimgimgs/2016/10/24/shutterstock_healthcare_Wichy632fe.jpg" width="1000" height="664"/></p> <p><a href="https://www.google.com.au/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=imgres&cd=&ved=&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.datanami.com%2F2015%2F10%2F26%2Fusing-big-data-to-its-full-potential-in-healthcare%2F&psig=AFQjCNFpqdZ0eX29ZB595tFwJOsFUB93IQ&ust=1477404409745902">[Source]</a></p> <h2>Education</h2> <p><strong>Public Education collectives would build schools, universities, and training centres, financed by bonds. </strong>Teachers would be hired by the collective according to member voting, and paid according to market price, reputation, and performance. Curriculum and teaching techniques would be developed by collective appointed education experts and would utilise media rich teaching materials to give students a higher degree of control over what they learn, in an environment that is engaging and interactive. Students would be free to transfer frictionless between learning environments, and have teachers pick up from where their previous teachers left off by checking a blockchain record of their progress, work, and feedback. Students would choose their own teachers, and would work in a more fluid structure in group focussed activities. Testing would be minimized, and students would be assessed on the production quality of their project work, completed at their own pace. Work could be graded by a consortium of assessors that are impartial, and provide feedback. They would be selected by the collective, and paid. <em><strong>This would free teachers to spend more time developing teaching techniques and promoting engagement, and less time marking work.</strong></em></p> <p><br></p> <p><em><strong>Education expenses are recorded and can either be paid by the parents of students as they are incurred, or by students themselves in later years of life.</strong></em> Education repayments are calculated as a percentage of income above a minimum threshold, and are interest free. To generate a return on investment for bondholders, they instead charge repayments until the principle is repaid double. If a student does not earn enough, they do not make repayments, and if they earn a higher amount, they repay the debt faster. Education debt is sourced from education collective bondholders, and is not produced through fractional reserve banking, as it is denominated in full reserve cryptocurrency. Qualifications and certifications are available from an Education Collective’s blockchain, when provided with an access key. Qualification access keys can be suspended in cases of education debt default or refusal to pay the required amount. <em><strong>Permanent Irrevocable access keys are given at the completion of repayment, guaranteeing permanent access to qualification data for provision to employers.</strong></em></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Example:</strong></p> <p>18 years of education at an average of 1,000 per year = 18,000 borrowed at graduation</p> <p>Repayment rate = 5% of income over 30,000 per year, up to 2 times principle.</p> <p>Maximum repayment = 36,000</p> <p><br></p> <p>Annual Income = 50,000</p> <p>(50,000-30000) x 0.05 = 1,000 repaid per year, for 36 years.</p> <p>Annual Income = 90,000</p> <p>(90,000 – 30,000) x 0.05 = 3,000 repaid per year, for 12 years</p> <p>Annual Income = 25,000</p> <p>No repayments are made as income is less than 30,000.</p> <p><br></p> <p>This ensures that successful students are able to repay their education debts over a long period of time, and in accordance with their income. This also provides education collective an incentive to ensure that their services genuinely lead to high paying employment, as they are repaid faster.</p> <p><br></p> <p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/steemimgimgs/2016/10/24/Extreme-learning-global-011.jpgw620q55autoformatusm12fitmaxse19475fd220f6e0ea3608d38f4abb417f90c7.jpg" width="460" height="276"/></p> <p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/education/2014/jan/20/moocs-global-thirst-education">[Source]</a></p> <h2>Welfare and Income Redistribution</h2> <p><strong>Welfare payments could be much more effectively distributed by a blockchain system, whereby the cryptocurrency accounts of welfare collective members would receive a weekly basic income deposit.</strong> All welfare transactions would take place in cryptocurrency, and would be implemented with smart contracts. Contributions would be distributed to a nominated cryptocurrency address, and deductions would be paid from the income of members as it is earned from their nominated employer. This would be a fully consensual agreement at the commencement of the membership, and any undisclosed income or refusal to pay membership contributions constitutes a breach of contract. <em><strong>Welfare payments would likely take place in two complementary systems, a Basic Income, and Income Redistribution.</strong></em></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>A Basic Income would be an equal share of all welfare contributions received from members, and partnership businesses.</strong> Individual members would contractually join a welfare collective for a fixed period of time, and contribute a percentage of their income above a threshold (e.g. 70th percentile of income), and up to a cap (5th percentile of income) to the collective. Businesses could voluntarily contribute portions of their profits to welfare collectives, which would be publically announced and promoted. Endorsements from welfare collectives would be powerful additions to the marketing proposition of companies, and may effect consumer purchasing choices from an angle of social responsibility. Companies that contribute greatly to a welfare collective would appear as sponsored companies in the communications of the collective, and be marketed to the recipients of welfare payments.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Income redistribution would be opted into by collective members, and offers a viable income equalisation mechanism for those desiring income security and equality. </strong>Members choose to redistribute a percentage (called the redistribution rate) of their income that is above the average income of the collective (50th percentile), or receive a redistribution of the same percentage of the difference between their income and the average income. Membership in such a redistribution mechanism would be a long term contractual commitment, to prevent members from opting out when they are required to contribute to it.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Welfare collectives could offer services to start-up businesses, whereby the collective provides interest free investment loans to new businesses, in exchange for their permanent membership as a sponsor business. This would provide new businesses a cost effective means of raising early capital, and provide welfare collectives with an ongoing source of revenue to distribute a Basic Income to their members.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Example:</strong></p> <p>Collective member average income = 75,000</p> <p>Redistribution rate = 20%</p> <p>A member with an income of 50,000 would receive (75,000-50,000) x 0.2 = 5000</p> <p>A member with an income of 100,000 would receive (75,000-100,000) x 0.2 = -5000, a contribution of 5000</p> <p>A member with no income would receive (75,000-0) x 0.2 = 15,000</p> <p>A member with an income of 1,000,000 would receive (75,000-1,000,000) x 0.2 = -185,000, a contribution of 185,000</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>These systems would be much more fair, transparent, and streamlined than our current government welfare systems.</strong> Existing welfare payments place a huge compliance burden on recipients, are not consensually entered into by those who are paying into the system, and often promote negative incentives to work. This can often result in income brackets where a person loses more money in benefits when they earn more than are gained by earning additional income. Under this system, there is never a negative marginal gain in total income, and there is no regulatory bureaucracy to distribute payments, consuming large amounts of the taxed welfare funds in oversight and processing expenses. The redistribution rate would be set and adjusted by the vote of the collective, giving rise to member choice of how much incomes should be redistributed. This redistribution rate could be used as a lever of monetary policy to manage economic balance in a community. C<em><strong>ritically, all welfare payments are funded from direct member and business sponsorship contributions, and are never funded by public debt.</strong></em></p> <p><br></p> <p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/steemimgimgs/2016/10/24/v9KxesEf2166.jpg" width="720" height="301"/></p> <p><a href="http://www.scottsantens.com/what-i-have-observed-since-2013-in-the-discussion-about-a-basic-income-guarantee">[Source]</a></p> <p><br></p> <h2>Insurance</h2> <p><strong>Insurance collectives would pool financial resources of their members into a large network of insurance multisig funds. </strong>Regulations for which liability events are valid for coverage would be determined by member voting. Each collective member would then opt in to each event that they want insurance coverage for, by transacting with its smart contract. Overseers appointed by collective member votes would then assess the risk profile that each member has for each of their opted in coverage events, and determine their relative risk of liability to the collective. The maximum liability and the risk of liability are used to calculate the premiums for each insured event. Members pay premiums to the event contracts that they choose, and are able to claim liabilities by sending a multisig transaction to the appointed overseers of each coverage event. Each event’s overseers would process claims from the insurance fund. Claims would need to be screened by multiple overseers, before being validated and paid out. Premiums are adjusted in accordance with liabilities so that all funds claimed by each coverage event are repaid to the insurance fund over the course of the next year. Overseers are paid by the collective out of the insurance fund, and are appointed by stake weighted member votes. <em><strong>Different Insurance collectives would compete to offer superior coverage services, lower premiums, and a better member experience.</strong></em></p> <p><br></p> <p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/steemimgimgs/2016/10/24/rise26faf9.jpg" width="1920" height="1080"/></p> <p><a href="http://atlasofthefuture.org/blockchain-financial-revolution-for-unbanked/">[Source]</a></p> <p><br></p> <h2>Security and Defence</h2> <p><strong>Defence collectives would offer members protective services, and would enforce their consensus chosen rights and laws.</strong> Members join for a fixed period of time, and pay security premiums. Victims of criminal acts are compensated by the defence collective, and perpetrators are pursued and charged to cover the costs of their actions. Officers are hired by the collective to protect areas of land and collective members, and are equipped according to their roles, and trained for active service. A portion of security premiums are paid at a fixed rate as an equal share to all active officers per hour of duty, while another portion of security premiums are paid out according to member ratings of security officers for services provided, or active presence in their location. Officer payments are supplemented with bonuses when they are within an active priority zone, which has been paid for by a member for increased security.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Overseers are elected by the collective to select and administrate the hiring, training, and equipment of officers.</strong> Overseers are compensated by members out of security premiums, and are allocated portions of the collective’s budget to provide training and equipment to officers according to their vote weighting. Successful overseers are paid a portion of all the earnings of their officers. Land owners or members are able to pay the collective a priority premium to attract more protective officers to a region, or their current location where increased security is desired. Collective members are able to send a geo-located distress signal whenever they require assistance or physical intervention. The laws and rights enforced by each security collective would be determined by the collective's chosen Legal Arbitration collective and disputes about the authenticity of criminal claims would be heard by these arbitrators, which would determine a verdict to be followed by any other security collectives that are involved in the incident.</p> <p><br></p> <p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/steemimgimgs/2016/10/24/20150121rmcollegepolice050-270c15.jpg" width="2600" height="1733"/></p> <p><a href="http://www.post-gazette.com/news/education/2015/01/20/Report-Campuses-arming-officers-as-parents-others-seek-assurances-Colleges-universities/stories/201501200150">[Source]</a></p> <p><br></p> <h2>Legal Arbitration</h2> <p><strong>Arbitration collectives would provide security collectives and individual members with dispute resolution services, and hold trials for defendants of security companies who plead not-guilty.</strong> The arbitration collective would allow both sides of a conflict to choose their representatives to gather case evidence and have a hearing to determine the outcome of a case. Defence collectives would pay for their member’s representation at arbitration, and the Security Collective of the member ruled against would be required to stand down, instruct their member to accept the ruling, and cover any liabilities incurred by the victorious Security Collective. The security Collective of the victorious member is then able to enforce the mutually agreed law against the guilty party. A network of payments would be established between Security Collectives and Arbitration collectives to determine which system of law is enforced. <em><strong>Systems of criminal records will be established between Identity verification collectives and Arbitration collectives to create blockchain records of criminal convictions.</strong></em></p> <p><br></p> <p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kPyrq6SEL0</p> <p>(A simplified explanation of how such a voluntary system of law enforcement could operate, and the market incentives that guide thier actions.)</p> <p><br></p> <h2>Creation and Enforcement of legislation</h2> <p><strong>Legislative Collectives will produce and integrate systems of law to be enforced by Security and Arbitration Collectives.</strong> Each Legislative Collective will produce and codify a constitution outlining its ideals, and its policies. Different collectives will produce variations of legal systems to be adopted by Arbitration and Defence Collectives. Widely adopted Legislative Collectives will have greater bargaining power to influence the legal and judicial proceedings of civil and criminal cases. The most popular Legislative Collectives would have a larger membership revenue source, and would be able to pay higher compensation to Defence Collectives and Arbitration Collectives to enforce their chosen legal framework in cases of conflicting legal jurisdiction, when parties have incompatible legal frameworks. Members of Legislative Collectives would vote on the laws to be passed, and any member can propose legislation for consideration. <em><strong>All legislation will be freely publicly available on the Collective’s blockchain, to be used by smart contracts as an oracle of legal jurisdiction, by Defence Collectives as a guide of enforcement, and by arbitration Collectives as a basis of proceedings and precedence.</strong></em></p> <p><br></p> <p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qmMpgVNc6Y</p> <p>(A simplified explanation of how a privatised and individualised system of legislation could operate, the market incentives that guide thier actions, and how they would interact with security collectives to produce cost effective popularly supported laws.)</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Competitive and collaborative relationships between Security, Arbitration and Legislative Collectives will drive the enforcement of the most popular and cost effective laws. </strong>Decentralised Autonomous Governments will choose which collectives are chosen to be endorsed to their citizens and enacted into their platforms. Laws that are produced will be cost effective, as collective members will be unwilling to pay higher fees for the enforcement of expensive laws or punitive systems. Wars between such collectives will be rare, due to the expense of war, and the negative public image caused by their damage.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>The citizens of Decentralized Autonomous Governments would vote using direct democracy to determine their public policy. </strong>This ability could be assigned to delegates who vote on behalf of a citizen on issues that they are unfamiliar with. Politicians would be gradually replaced by trusted delegates, who would wield large amounts of voluntary appointed voting power. Unlike politicians, voting delegates can have their voting power revoked by their supporters at any time. The most knowledgeable, honest and transparent delegates would rise to prominence. </p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Many questions arise regarding the preferences of collective members, would would need to be addressed by delegates, and by society as a whole.</strong></p> <p><br></p> <ul> <li>Which services provided by governments today do you believe would be best replaced by a public service collective?</li> <li>Would you join a welfare collective to receive a basic income?</li> <li>Would you opt in to income redistribution?

Each citizen however ultimately chooses which collective to be a member of, if at all. DAGs would harness their large base of citizens to purchase bulk membership for their citizens with collectives, according to member voting. They would act as an interface and an aggregator for public services, and would promote their delegates to provide voting services to their members in collective voting processes. <strong>Governments would no longer control the purchasing power of their citizens through taxation.</strong> <em><strong>Citizens will build their governments out of the best and most efficient independent collectives of their choosing.</strong></em></p> <p><br></p> <p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/steemimgimgs/2016/10/24/shutterstock_281935604cfade.jpg" width="1021" height="580"/></p> <p><a href="https://news.bitcoin.com/redbear-duo-brings-blockchain-internet-of-things/">[Source]</a></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Nation states as we know them today, will be replaced by alliances of citizens from all over the world joining together not by force or by geographic location, but by their and their own ideological leaning and their individual decisions to unite and purchase services with each other as a group.</strong> The will of the majority is not enforced unjustly on the minority, as each person can unite with those who share their interests, wherever they are in the world. Blockchain has the power to replace lines on maps with lines of code in a decentralised network. The lines of Nation states will be blurred until they are irrelevant, as the voluntary power of collective collaboration supersedes the force of laws enforced on unwilling citizens. Corruption will be difficult in the transparency provided by blockchain records, and mismanagement will be clear as day to prospective collective members, who are free to walk with their money and loyalty. <em><strong>The Nations of the future will be made of ideology, transparent consensus, and code; not flags, politicians, and borders.</strong></em></p> <p><br></p> <p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/steemimgimgs/2016/10/24/blockchain-640x33282d6b.jpg" width="640" height="332"/></p> <p><a href="http://www.startupsmart.com.au/technology/blockchain-is-useful-for-a-lot-more-than-just-bitcoin/">[Source]</a></p> <p><br></p> <p><a href="https://steemit.com/@dahaz159">By Harrison Mclean [dahaz159]</a></p> <p><img src="https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/09/11/14309876_311336345896546_193332139_n7ab73.jpg" width="1080" height="1080"/></p> <p><br></p> <h2>Follow me on <a href="https://steemit.com/@dahaz159">Steemit</a> and on <a href="https://twitter.com/DaHaZ159">Twitter</a> to catch my next Future Concepts Explored.</h2> <p><img src="https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/09/11/SteemFollowGifd9630.gif" width="156" height="70"/></p> <p><img src="https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/09/27/lSLM0xhCA1RZOwaQcjhlwmsvaIQYaP3c5qbDKCgLALhydrgExnaSKZdGa8S3YtRuVAw3002d8d0.png" width="300" height="300"/></p> <p><br></p> <h1>Previous editions of Future Concepts Explored -</h1> <p><a href="https://steemit.com/technology/@dahaz159/future-concepts-explored-part-1-human-genetic-modification-programmatically-engineered-organisms-and-the-future-of-human">Future Concepts Explored [Part 1] - Human Genetic Modification, Programmatically Engineered Organisms, and the Future of Human Evolution</a></p> <p><a href="https://steemit.com/science/@dahaz159/future-concepts-explored-part-2-transhumanism-neural-implants-and-the-future-of-cybernetic-augmentation">Future Concepts Explored [Part 2] - Transhumanism, Neural Implants, and the Future of Cybernetic Augmentation</a> </p> <p><a href="https://steemit.com/science/@dahaz159/future-concepts-explored-part-3-collective-consciousness-distributed-intelligence-and-the-identity-structures-of-super-organisms">Future Concepts Explored [Part 3] - Collective Consciousness, Distributed Intelligence, and the Identity structures of Super Organisms</a></p> <p><a href="https://steemit.com/science/@dahaz159/future-concepts-explored-part-4-artificial-general-intelligence-decentralised-autonomous-intelligence-and-the-impending">Future Concepts Explored [Part 4] - Artificial General Intelligence, Decentralised Autonomous Intelligence, and the impending Technological Singularity</a></p> <p><a href="https://steemit.com/science/@dahaz159/future-concepts-explored-part-5-drones-robots-and-androids-the-future-of-automation-and-robotic-sovereignty">Future Concepts Explored [Part 5] – DRONES, ROBOTS, and ANDROIDS.
