Not sure it's the best, but the first idea is for the liberals/democrats to acknowledge their complicity in causing this. What they are offering will not fix things.

I would place myself center-left and a believer in Liberal Democracy, not to be confused with liberals or democrats

re: cahoots, I mean more generally the corporate-government corruption we see everywhere, the 1%

I'm making a throwback sign for the protest this weekend

"Occupy Oligarchy" - something about 1% vs 99%, still ideating

I do like the vibe of Acemoglu but somehow don't remember any concrete recommendations either.. I've submitted https://youtu.be/e5O1Y-5phEU in the spirit of trying to strengthen the meat of his ideas (a la Nietzsche) but I don't get it, not really..

What I'd actually like to reinforce is the pipeline of good ideas from the 99% to usage by the 99% without "passing through the 1%"

(Show HN is that? marginally less so these days "due to slop", but to me, it's that the best ideas don't look different from slop at first. Should Nietzsche apply here?)

Something as fundamental as the pattern-recignition integrator by which you became famous to me :)

How's that coming along as a real product. PostASI there's even more room for that sort of thing (imho)
