The Hack-plications That will Change Everything

by Dan Robles on October 8, 2012

Zertify, Gamidox, and Exoquant (ZGE) are NOT the applications that will change everything.  Rather, the hack-applications that follow on the ZGE data suites will, in fact, challenge the idea that periodic economic collapse and hard-fought restructuring is a necessary inevitability of the human condition.

The current financial system is vulnerable to disruption.

One reason is that it is becoming unstable.  However, by far the more important reason is that it is very inefficient.  The underlying notion that competition alone can determine a winner is wasteful because the time, energy, and resources required to battle, kill off, and dispose of an opponent may exceed, many times over, the value of a win.

What exactly is the nature of winning and losing?

Can truly winning only happen when the opponent is truly dead?  Can a student win by learning even if they can obviously be vanquished by their teacher?  Does a teacher win by living among productive citizens, as they themselves become vulnerable elders?  Can such an exchange form without there necessarily being a financial, or even governmental, intermediaries.  Today, quite the opposite is happening in companies and communities facing both knowledge gap and layoffs.

How Stable are The Stabilizers?

The legal system is very expensive to maintain.  Global military projection is certainly not cost free nor are the subsequent defenses.  Even the so-called competitive “college degree” and “intellectual property” are outliving their accessibility, and therefore, usefulness. Ironically, it will be the financial system itself that is undermined by the scarcity of the lifeblood money.  People will adapt to new forms of enterprise as they have for millions of years.  This is what Zertify accellerates.

What are the alternatives?

It would be vastly unfortunate for civilization if the financial system were to become ineffective prior to  human’s natural evolution to a high order of economics.  In fact, it seems that the failure of society to evolve is the only thing keeping the current financial system in play – there is no other game in town.  Think about it; if money does not represent your productivity, why would you work in exchange for it?  When you can no longer “harvest” your own productivity, why would you sow that field?  People would sow a different field. This is what Gamidox provides. 

Let’s Measure Ourselves Into Existence

History shows that the darkest depths of re-organization preceded prior leaps of human civilization.  But is that ultimate, inevitable competition and sacrifice actually necessary, except to measure the old system out of existence.  People are already quite organized, why do they need to be re-organized except to fit within a measurement system that has outlived it’s usefulness, applicability and relevence.  Exoquant allows the new humanity be measured into a new existence. 

Let’s get it right this time

The ZGE applications provide the intermediate step that never existed at any other time in history.  ZGE are built and structured upon trust networks and Internet connectivity.  Why not start rebuilding now while we still have a chance to get it right, very right.

A New Conversation About New Value

by Dan Robles on July 25, 2012

Most people who know me, understand my tendency to go into “Professor Mode”; or deep dive into the Calculus of financial instrumentation; or just geek out on macro-sustainability issues.  Communicating to the public about what we can and should do next, is NOT my specialty. To this, I trust my friends.

In celebration of friendships, we are coming together around the conversation of The New Value Movement and the a plan to launch an open source development project that will facilitate an alternate economy backed by so-called “intangibles”. If you will be in the Seattle Area on this date and have a deep knowledge or interest to share in this subject, please contact me through this blog post.  Thank you

The New Value Movement

The New Value Movement is a worldwide meme that recognizes that not all valuable things can be articulated with dollars – and that vast stores of value remain economically invisible as so-called “intangibles”.  These include social, creative, and intellectual capital as well as environmentally sustainable enterprise.

A New Class of Business Methods

The Ingenesist Project is developing a new class of business methods and metrics (ZGE) that convert intangible assets into tangible assets, which then become visible in an alternate economic system in an expanded form of currency:

  • Zertify – An analog to digital converter for knowledge assets
  • Gamidox – A novel business method for converting intangibles to tangible
  • Exoquant – The capitalization and securitization of New Value ‘currencies’

A new Conversation about financial systems

This 3-hour meeting seeks to develop a narrative that will bring the possibility of the New Value Movement to a broader audience.  Secondary, this narrative seeks to attract the development community to participate in an open-source development project that could augment the existing financial system of value scarcity with one of value abundance.

Meeting of the minds

We are seeking 10-12 people with knowledge in relevant areas to help us set the course for an alternate economic system backed by New Value Currency.  Please consider sharing your intellect, creativity, and wisdom with this important project.  Some familiarity with ZGE is requested (and can be provided in advance).

For more information about The Ingenesist Project:

Please visit our website http://ingenesist.com , visit our YouTube Channel, visit our blog, or review the site map for various articles and videos related to the “New Value Movement”.   Feel free to contact me through this blog for a review of ZGE

Then and only then can holistic transactions take place which can redefine human economics in social currencies, i.e., where knowledge really is an asset.

Cluster Funk

June 10, 2010

The term “Innovation Clusters” makes for a good soundbite for politicians because it fits on a banner they can stand in front of (thumbs up) and waving the “I’m for Jobs” banner for the next election cycle. It keeps funds flowing to organizations to publish studies that conclude that more studies are needed. Maybe these “summits” ought to be renamed, Cluster Funks because that is all that they actually promote.
