🕓 — How to to keep democracy alive as a scientist

Formerly a thought experiment I kept for myself, I'd like to share what seems to be a funny note at first but is of relevancy in a world rapidly falling toward a brutal ending (cooked frogs).

The scientific community is known to frequently push for more action for either climate change reaction at a political scale or for research funding. Awaited reactions that are mostly ignored.

If one scientist working on coral reefs or soil degradation may not be at ease in the lab of an atomic clock scientist, it may be useful to have them as friends to build a unanimity based democracy (that may be parallel though).

In a world where atomic clocks rule everything, like GPS, stock market and high intensity trading or even your phone's synchronization with all this in an intricated network, a consensus of atomic clock scientists may decide to plug out one or several atomic clocks to send a strong message of disappointment to conventional governments. As the resulting consequences may be totally catastrophic, the potential reaction-lever could help open further negotiations as it truly is the equivalent of non-conventional dissuasion.

For this reason, and knowing the active and intensive exchange inside the scientific community, a majority of them may want to use it to exerce a pressure to force systemic changes (climate action, funding, etc.).

Although, as atomic clock scientists may often be in their lab, or operating the clock, the whole scientific community may not have total control over a lone scientist or a whole team choosing to use their veto by disconnecting their atomic clock.

This particularly makes the system a unanimity based parallel democracy holding the whole world on a vote (clock disconnecting)*.

➠ Note

Speaking of possibilities appart the funny revolutionary move, this idea could be used to keep a working international government with an integrated veto right* if conventional governments and organisation (like United Nation) comes to a dead or becomes totally impotent or paralyzed facing a world level threat that do not force internet and its assets to be shut down : epidemic, nuclear detonations or war, or other, like this one (near-perfect algorithmic manipulation of living beings by a powerful firm through AI driven predictability).

* If one country, or zone, plugs out its atomic clock network to exert pressure on others members — for they are all co-dependent as the whole network built above these atomic clocks is deeply intricated. A dead pixel provoking significant consequences throughout the whole network.
