The Resilience protocol — on incentives
FAQ: What incentives do businesses have to join ‘Resilience’ ?
An available market niche. Co-operative businesses have successfully filled a niche for hundreds of years, and i’ve used co-operatives as an example since my system is similar, but mine is also different. The strong incentive for individuals to join Resilience is that it creates a welfare safety net for that individuals peers. So, the incentive isn’t egoistic, it’s altruistic, knowing that altruistic behavior eventually returns more for the individual. It’s crowd-sourced effective altruism.
My system makes it easier for “co-operatives” to join forces. That should make them more powerful and more dominant. And, it allocates the dividend to a peer-to-peer safety net instead of to individuals. That gives an incentive for anyone who wants to see their peers out of poverty. It’s decentralized, based on consumption pathways.
It’s a non-coercive, fully voluntary, way to create a decentralized welfare net.
