RE: Dimmer-switching governance

I'm not sure it would be such a great idea to have a personal tax wallet allowing everyone to decide how exactly their tax money will be spent. But I do think we should work towards making governments unmanned to a greater degree. Protocols should decide how money is spent rather than individuals.
Finland is considered to be low in corruption and that may be the case in international comparison. But the system is very vulnerable to corruption at the point of outsourcing government services to the private sector. There is also a lot of sheer incompetence leading to massive waste.
In my utopia, the government works like a DAO rather than a manned organization.

Yeah, it is really just an example that there are alternatives, though I do think it would be interesting to have some percentage able to be allocated upon a group of options, kind of like the hdf. I think it would make people more interested in activity, rather than the creating of celebrity of politicians.
The thing with the current and coming tech is we have many more alternatives than what we are using, a system that is fundamentally flawed and corrupted in the hands of a few. There are degrees of corruption of course, but all are to some degree.
Yes, I think a DAO in control of tax money should be carefully programmed with some ground rules preventing catastrophic events.
Why do you say so?

Public opinion could easily be manipulated. Also, it takes a fair bit of expertise to decide how the money is spent. Suppose some single high-profile scandal or incident suddenly caused some particular government agency to have 10% of its funding pulled instantly. That would be a complete disaster causing a lot of collateral damage.
Most of our politicians are not outright crooks unlike in Africa. The system as it is works much better than in most developing countries.
I think so too, but less so when it is "our money" -You often heat the "my tax money goes to" without most people having any idea what their tax money goes to :)
I think this could be mitigated through a process of "unstaking" of sorts.
I think many sorts of mitigations should be implemented. A time delay like that would make a lot of sense.
Well, I think it will be hard to make decisions with such a large number of persons involved in the decision-making process, esp when it comes to pressing matters. So the governance is important to a said degree. But then again, shouldn't people who pay taxes determine how their monies are spent? Some of these governments spend so much of taxpayer's money on nuclear projects and funding war crimes.
