What PeopleCount is Not
(Updated April 2022)
Working alone on PeopleCount is difficult. I find it compelling, but I want a complete team and some backing. I blog to develop SEO (so you can easily find us via search engines), and to create a body of work that you can read and others can reference. And to assure the idea isn’t lost, if something happens to me. While I’m confident that PeopleCount, if funded, will work, I’m not sure I have what it takes to build a good-sized following until the platform is built so people can try it. I’m working on it.
PeopleCount is a new idea. It’s hard to understand by Americans today. It’s not that difficult, but most people think they have a grasp on our political system and what’s wrong. Most people can’t see that America’s political system was poorly designed for today’s world, and that accountability is missing, Until they see these, there’s little room for the idea of a solution, no matter how simple and effective it is.
If PeopleCount were finished and launched, it’s designed to be rewarding to use. It would have its intended effects even without people understanding it. So I’ll keep trying to reach people as well as build it.
PeopleCount is needed. Our political system has evolved to be the arena in which the parties fight for power. PeopleCount will transform the political system to be the tool we use to design our future together.
Your efforts will spark interest and new ways of reaching out to others on the things that matter. As mass communication systems are developed and perfected, we shall be able to move mountains again. Keep working on your ideas and results will follow.
You are on a very important mission!
Happy to help in anyway!
