We’re heading toward a collision—between mass automation, elite wealth concentration, and collapsing public trust. The current system isn’t built for what’s next.
So I built a prototype.
The Social Contribution Pact (SCP) v3.2 is an open-source, testable model for post-scarcity governance. Not a utopia. Not a manifesto. A 3-year, 100,000-person pilot designed to see if we can build a system that trades survival anxiety for dignity—and rewards effort instead of hoarding.
Key Features:
– Pilot Scale: 100,000 people, 3 years, $400M budget
– City Candidates: Helsinki, Seoul, or similar progressive hubs
– Funding Mix: 40% NGO, 30% elite buy-in (legacy projects), 30% crowdfunding or local taxes
– Guaranteed Dignity: Shelter, food, education, health triage for all—no coercion required
– Contribution Tracks: Full-time, part-time, hybrid—with merit-based rewards (housing, voting power, prestige)
– AI with Accountability: Triple-redundant placement, citizen override panels, black-box crisis teams
– Sister Region Mandates: Urban-rural equity by design, not charity
– Built for Transparency: Livestreamed governance, public audit dashboards, open-source code
– Failure-Proofed: Mid-pilot public referendum + debrief, with a v4.0 reboot if necessary
Why Now?
– 20–30% of global jobs at risk from automation (McKinsey)
– Top 1% own >50% of wealth (Oxfam)
– 60%+ distrust major institutions (Edelman 2024)
This isn’t the solution—it’s a prototype. A tool. An experiment.
We’ve posted the full README, visuals, flowcharts, and budget to GitHub here:

Would love your feedback, criticism, forks, or full-on teardown.
What would break this? What would make it better?
Let’s find out—together.

This sounds like one of the two futures shown in the short story Manna. It’s a fun read.

I don’t see how something like this is possible until we have 3d printers that can print complex machines themselves. As long as you are reliant on the existing capitalist infrastructure for any manufacturing you will be worn down. The greed that is inherent in capitalism always looks for more profit to squeeze so you have to either become a capitalist or you get squeezed. Look at what happened to communes after the 60s – they all either failed or became for profit farms/corporations. I mean you could argue that’s even what happened to the USSR. Capitalism will erode competition.
400 million is not as much as you think. Look at how much different cities spend on homelessness. In Manna I think the proposed utopia/society started with a trillion dollars and focused on developing technology to become fully self sufficient.
>Citizen Override Panels: Elected councils with veto power
You are fucked already.
This is the Achilles heel, as those people will inevitably be the loudest and most opinionated and will serve their interests first.
It is always the Achilles heel of any of these types of of Utopian projects, their optimism blinds them to the fact they are dealing with *human beings*.
Hopefully a reading of what happened at Plymouth Rock and the Tragedy of the Commons was done along with Manna.
Is the labor compulsory? What will do you to prevent people from attempting to exploit these new systems for power?
I really like the thought you’ve put this. A decentralized bottom-up system of governance is exactly what we need. I’ve been daydreaming about blockchain enabled direct democracy for a while now, with many overlaps to your ideas.
My big question is how do we switch over? Let’s say we’ve audited and tested this alternative system. We built an app that uniquely IDs participants and enables all their civil rights and responsibilities as citizens of this system. How do we get mass adoption without causing people to effectively be liable to two governance systems, the one in place in their region and the one they choose here.
I know you suggest this has to be a government enabled experiment, but say for a moment that representatives of existing systems that provide undue selfish benefit to decision makers in that system may not want to lose power. How do we transition without a culture/civil war?
