Using Thimbol as a platform for open democratic governance

Read Aloud 

Freedom consists in the distribution of power and despotism in its concentration - Elon Musk 

In recent years, social media has become an integral part of our daily lives. From sharing personal updates to conducting business transactions, social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have become ubiquitous. However, the potential of social media goes beyond just personal communication and business transactions. It can also be a platform for open democratic governance.

The use of social media for collaborative governing has been overlooked by many, but the potential is vast. Any group can use social media to define objectives, set parameters for action, and transparently detail the process on an online platform that all can verify. This can be particularly effective in the realm of governance. By allowing for a collaborative decision-making process, social media can help to create a framework for social evolution.

Then when you need to make changes, you must to go to these experts, and ask if they will make these changes.

The want of the nail, the nail you lack is the database, it is the fact that your business does not have full control of the most significant and fundamental aspect of what you do.  Your business has overlooked how important data is,  and has given up - the knowledge, and ability to freely make changes or understand the fundamental structure behind management.
