Reply to comment by shanoshamanizum in P2P self-governance society prototype researching the intersection of moneyless economy, liquid democracy and p2p media by shanoshamanizum

if you want more people to learn about this you should make a youtube or slideshow demoing the simulators, maybe even explaining what they are supposed to show. Not many people are going to download and run software just to hear what you have to say.

Thanks for the suggestion. I find the effort to install the app the most important because it teaches people to co-host apps if they want to use them rather than being simply consumers that want convenience. Being mainstream is not the main idea here. It's rather hacky and aimed at people who are genuinely interested.

No matter how complex the idea, you can explain them in simple terms if they have fundamental merit. Use the Feynman technique.

Its not about convenience, it's about the up-front cost to determine if the information is even worth taking a closer look at. With social media everyone is pretty much information overloaded, so anything that takes to long to determine its value just gets written off by default, simply because of the competition for attention.

Even just a better explanation on the GH readme. Or a landing page. I personally don't watch videos, I'd much prefer a quick textual explainer, maybe with images if necessary.

Yeah; he seemed sold on a visual explanation/didn't seem to think anything less then the app would do is why i suggested a video. But if text can be done, that would be ideal.
