Reality Rebuild is an organization that is a non profit that will spin out non profit and for profit ventures that benefit the main non profit organization’s members and ventures. The idea is that corporations and government are a bit big for their britches and the lower end of humanity is under intense pressure to do well with little education and resources to stay alive in general. This is just not acceptable.
I’ve got some ideas that should help improve quite a bit of things but when you are trying to strike out on your own, that makes it sorta difficult to actually succeed with any reasonable degree of probability. Because of this, a united effort will be more successful. Unions show this. Safety and strength in numbers concepts show this.
Some of us have skills. Some of us have money. Some of us have voice. Some have nothing but support, time, and basic skills.
Churches show that you will be able to find a cluster of professionals and basic skilled people in a fairly small group of 30 or so people. They take this and all apply what they want to apply to the good of the group. Some just come to visit and offer support. Some are there to donate money, time, resources, or whatever else they can and want to offer.
This basic concept of a church can be re-purposed into a unified voice on various subjects that are not defined by religion but are defined by the common goal of bringing humanity back to our societies and economies.
The common goal of wanting to have a better life is pretty uniform except for anomalous events. Some will want to focus what they have to offer towards specific special interests of theirs. This could be advancing technology, medicine, exploration of the ocean or space or underground, etc.
Churches and small groups of people have been crowdfunding in some form or another for a very long time. Crowdfunding has in recent years become a more standardized concept of funding things and churches have been doing it for a while now. It is the idea of donating what you can for the purpose you want to see succeed or benefit from has people interested in this idea for so long.
Chapters of the overall association can open up if they qualify under the various things they would need to successfully do well. This means that they follow the charter rules etc. etc. much like any association would do. Those details can be refined from the basic chapter and association decentralized organization structure.
The for profit ventures will allow the members to fund their creation. Members can either participate as founders and reap substantial financial rewards as founders usually would. The workers can be civilians that are not members or they can be members. Members are vetted and thus easier to get fast tracked and thus are the first to be reviewed as an internal resource pool for all of Reality Rebuild. This ensures that you will most likely always have a good paying stable job. Even if one company fails because of a failed product or service, the member is transferred to another job location that could benefit from their employment. The product buyers and service subscribers will be allowed to vote on company matters that really need feedback from the community of users that actually use their product or service. If you haven’t used a product, it is difficult to really say anything about it. This isn’t perfectly true but is largely true because speculation is far less useful than actual use. So your purchase of the product would more or less have a purchase number and so you can use that to vote and review the product.
The non profits will be largely to help those things that cannot be monetized without hurting the customer or client. The purpose of any transaction should be to make both sides richer than before. Leave them better than you found them.
Some projects are for housing members, homeless people, abused people, people that need protection or rehabilitation for things like a halfway house. Many of those also push the people to become members that are productive and can find them training and jobs and anything else required to get work and a good living situation.
We all have something to offer. Some of us are angelically powerful with words that can soothe the angriest of situations. Some of us can design really important and complex things. Some are good with labor work while others can’t do it at all.
A non religious church some might say. Although the non religious part somewhat voids the church concept. More people understand how a church works so it is a useful analogy as well as aligned with the purpose of doing good things for humanity.
There are some specific terms some people will know so I will go over those things now. This would become an NGO (Non Government Organization) as the base organization. Many for-profit ventures can be social enterprises and use legal frameworks that support social enterprises. Many funds can be acquired through crowdfunding platforms similar to Kickstarter and Indiegogo. Kickstarter for instance is formatted as a public benefit corporation. These platforms generally are difficult to do well with if you do not have experience with them. Indiegogo build a platform for non-profit type situations called Generosity.com.
Funding is important and crowdfunding is the basic form of funding that will be used as it is a set of projects from the members. Because of the difficulty of doing crowdfunding on your own, companies that specialize in crowdfunding efforts will be hired at a percentage or flat fee or some other type of agreed compensation format. This will ensure a great deal of success without a lot of possibility for failure. The added benefit of being a non-profit NGO that helps its members and society in general, will greatly increase the reach and impact as any effort that has their purpose, methods, and outcomes aligned with positive improvement for humanity and reality in general.
For example, one of the programs will be the creation of a business certification and push for a new legal format of corporations and businesses will be made that will incorporate similar things that Corporate B certifications have done. Corporate B certifications are given to companies that follow their methods that are to be good companies public facing. Many will do this internally but the internal part of a company is what matters quite a bit in terms of how companies impact society through their movements in the economy. The certification will cover what Corporate B does with more details so that everything is working well.
Some companies will receive a certification showing they are a member of Reality Rebuild business network as an additional badge to add to their marketing efforts. This badge shows they are under the support of the overall umbrella. This is like if Google’s umbrella company, Alphabet, were to be stamped on Google, Youtube, etc., much like how Google was stamped on their products and services. The energy star certification is a similar way in how they will be referenced. The difference is that in this case the overall certification network actually backs your company as long as you back the rest of the network reasonably as well through membership dues or dividends or what not. Somewhat like insurance but for the whole group and is based on how much risk/reward there is from that company.
This TED Talk describes a lot of what Reality Rebuild will produce.
