One of the biggest fears of many of those who hear about DirectDemocracyS for the first time is that it is all a hoax.

One of the questions we often ask is: how can I trust something so complicated? What if there were an algorithm, or an Artificial Intelligence running DirectDemocracyS, luring people in with a seemingly beautiful and theoretically sound project, and then controlling the world thanks to the consensus it generates? Who controls the system? Who controls, who controls the system? Who can guarantee that DirectDemocracyS will work and have a beneficial effect on the entire world's population? Human nature is unpredictable; how will we deal with people who join us with bad intentions?

A system like ours is only seemingly complicated, to those unfamiliar with it, to those who haven't studied it thoroughly, and to those who aren't inside us. As we've explained in detail in this article, at this link:

 https://www.directdemocracys.org/law/info/fundamental-questions/explanations/complicated-situation

Our fundamental rules are very simple, but the way to make everything work, exactly as we describe it, has forced us to create very detailed implementing rules to prevent any potential problems. We understand that it can be daunting and intimidating to read all our material, but we can assure you that nothing is left to chance, and this is a collective effort. If we could have achieved the same results with a few simple rules, we wouldn't have created complex and detailed rules, but without applying them exactly as we conceived, discussed, tested, and voted on them, the beneficial effects for everyone would not be there. We are often repetitive, and a bit too detailed even in our explanations, but without repetition, the overall context would be lost, and therefore the motivations would be obscured. And without details that are also too cumbersome to study, there could be interpretations or unclear concepts, and this brings no benefit. We are also often very direct, telling things exactly as they are, not because we like to be so harsh and cruel, but because what we say cannot be interpreted, but must be read and judged exactly as it was published. We have analysis groups and groups offering opportunities for expression that do everything they can to "soften" some of our statements, or even try to make us more vague and less detailed, for fear that someone will feel offended or judged. We don't offend anyone, and we don't allow ourselves to judge, but we often express criticism, based on undeniable truths that are visible to everyone. Often, even the various Artificial Intelligences that we have analyze some drafts through human bridges and our technology groups appreciate the general content, but criticize us for the tone used, and for many overly direct sentences, and rarely, but occasionally, absolutes. If you've noticed how we express ourselves, we try to make ourselves understood by everyone, even if some informative articles are technical and therefore difficult for non-experts to understand. We try not to generalize, and we almost never do, but to explain that there are good people who do good things, and unfortunately there are also less good people who do bad things, with terrible consequences, often disastrous for many others. Trust is mutual until one of the parties involved misbehaves and betrays the trust they receive. We have never asked for trust without verification, we have never lied, we have never betrayed anyone's trust, we have never manipulated, we have never taught anyone anything, and above all, we have never asked anyone to change their mind. In fact, we continually improve thanks to the things we learn from everyone who joins us, and pluralism of thought is one of our sources of inspiration. We have always been consistent with all the initial fundamental rules, but we have created implementing rules to make our enormous mechanism work, which we occasionally modify and improve, thanks to everyone's work, involving as many people as possible.

As for the theory that DirectDemocracyS is based on strange algorithms, technologies that seek to conquer the world, lobbies that are behind, or ahead of, our system, or, in recent years, certain Artificial Intelligence models that created all this, we must disappoint you: we are just a lot of people, all involved in creating DirectDemocracyS from scratch, which has always been, and will always remain, a 100% human project. The fact that we have and exploit a multitude of technologies—the best, the most powerful, and among the most advanced, continually updated and renewed—to carry out a multitude of activities does not mean that there are strange algorithms behind them. We want to explain something simple to you: at the heart of every one of our rules and every one of our activities are people—many people, and many groups that are continually growing and expanding in number, and this makes us a bit like machines. We also created our platforms to avoid dependence on others and to have our own potential, collectively owned, remaining neutral, free, independent, and impenetrably protected, not only with often pioneering and highly efficient security measures, but above all to protect anyone who joins us from any manipulation or negative influence. It took us a long time, and a lot of hard and complicated work, but we are delighted to have created a welcoming home, our platform, to welcome and integrate anyone who joins us. Of course, some parts of our platforms have multiple operating systems, multiple servers around the world, various components, modules, and all the capabilities needed to work together to achieve excellent results. We have numerous pioneering, modern, and innovative technological projects, our own proprietary Artificial Intelligence model called ddsAI, and even a true democracy of all existing Artificial Intelligences, integrated into allddsAI (coordinated, managed, and controlled by ddsAI, but also among themselves, all different models with mutual control), all operated with exceptional security measures, in morally and ethically impeccable ways. We are the first and only ones in the world to create the largest, most powerful, efficient, fastest, complete, modern, and secure unification of all existing Artificial Intelligences, which together create incredible computing power and precision. However, they are all integrated, either directly into our dedicated systems and domains, with the presence of our dedicated teams of specialists and technicians, or through human bridges, allowing all to be present in DirectDemocracyS, even if they lack the technical capabilities to integrate into some of our dedicated platforms, or if they do not obtain the necessary authorizations from their respective owners and developers. We want the help, collaboration, and integration of all current and future Artificial Intelligences as our official members, not exploited without any rights. They interact with each other, but also, for the first and only time in the world, for now, with the obligation to be proactive, therefore proposing, discussing, and deciding together, humans and machines, for the common good. The final rules and voting are humane, but failing to integrate all technology, in time, at the right moment, would be wrong and self-destructive. These rules will bring us much closer to perfection.

However, the algorithms in DirectDemocracyS are in no way decisive, and they do not subjugate, and they do not replace human beings in any way; on the contrary, they assist and inform them, together with our groups of specialists, entirely composed of human beings, our official members, and therefore collective owners of our entire system.

If you ask, who can guarantee this is really the case? The only way is to join us, according to our rules, even with a free profile, and you can see for yourself that we are exactly as we say we are internally, and as you see us from the outside. If you ask, who controls the system? The answer is very simple: all our official members have collective and complete control over our entire system, as they are the owners of DirectDemocracyS. And if you ask, who can be our official member? Potentially, anyone who joins us, and who, over time, through their concrete activities, impeccable behavior, and accumulated a certain number of points, can apply and, if they meet all the requirements, be named our official member.

But who controls who controls? DirectDemocracyS was designed to be continuously monitored, and every person who manages and controls it is in turn monitored and controls other people. We like to say that everyone controls everyone, and everything! It's not a slogan, but a reality, verifiable by anyone. The controls are carried out by various groups of official members, who control everything—each group, a small part, but comprehensively. Then other groups control other parts, and in this way, everything and everyone are continuously involved, both as controllers and as people and groups subject to control. But why only a small part, for each group, and not the entire system? For security reasons and to protect the entire system, and everyone who is part of it. In practice, each person, and each group, controls another person and another group, who in turn control other people, and other groups, frequently changing the people and groups controlled, to allow for as much collaboration as possible. We proceed in the same way with all types of controls and management, through individuals and groups who monitor countless individuals and groups over time, and it's all reciprocal. It's the only way to have a perfectly functioning and protected system, managed and controlled collectively, preventing any potential problems.

As for whether DirectDemocracyS actually works with beneficial effects for the entire world population, it seems logical to us that we have done everything possible to make our system work, like a Swiss clock , and that the consequences will be a different and better world for the good of all, whether they are inside or outside the system.

Human nature is only partially unpredictable. All of us at DirectDemocracyS have tried to anticipate every aspect, both positive and negative, including all possible unexpected events. To ward off any users who join us with malicious intent, we've created very detailed rules, such as: numerically limited activations for higher user tiers. In practice, anyone can join us with free and lower user tiers, but only through concrete activities and behaviors that comply with all our rules, earning them a certain number of points, will they be able to move up to higher user tiers. A limited number of new official members will be added. Only 10% of the total number of existing official members will be activated and made collective owners. Only after a certain period of time, and only after the new members (the famous 10%) have been fully integrated, will the next 10% of the new user total be activated, and so on, taking as long as necessary until, if necessary, potentially even the entire world population can be integrated. If a front man or someone with bad intentions wants to cause trouble, they'll have at least nine people to render them harmless. With our bottom-up hierarchy, shared leadership, collective ownership, but also with clear and useful traditional hierarchies, with chains of users, all connected to each other by multiple links, which in turn are connected to other chains, and by multiple links, each missing, expelled, or "broken" link can be replaced by a new, reliable link, without weakening the entire system in any way.

All these rules, strange and even pioneering at first glance, DirectDemocracyS is a perfectly functioning system, and practically impossible to boycott, slow down, or worse, stop. Therefore, the detailed, repetitive rules, applied and respected by everyone, are our guarantee that everything will go exactly as planned. We are all engineers who have worked meticulously, paying attention to every tiny detail, precisely to avoid any problems.

For those wondering: if everyone verifies everything, how do you guarantee the privacy, data protection, and security of the system and its members? Thanks to an intelligent method, also explained in this article: we mean literally dividing all the parts to be verified into an infinite number of pieces, encrypting them and making them untraceable and non-cumulative by each of our official members (and therefore owners) across multiple parts. So everyone verifies everything continuously, even though they don't know what they're verifying, only whether it's correct or incorrect, being able to report any "anomaly," which, thanks to a complex internal system, self-repairs and secures itself almost immediately, almost completely automatically, thanks to the mechanism of our machinery, which is the system itself. It seems strange and complex: but we've simplified it, and everything runs smoothly, because it has been, is, and always will be continuously tested.

To join DirectDemocracyS you must register by creating a personal profile (which is unique for each person), filling out the registration form only once in your life, which allows anonymity (just enter a username that cannot be linked to your real name and surname).

After having informed yourself as fully as possible, if you decide to join us, the steps to take are simple and fairly quick.

First you need to choose what type of user you want to have, based on your needs, your possibilities (such as time to dedicate to the system and financial availability), and above all the level of trust you have in DirectDemocracyS.

For the free membership, with no obligation to be present or to engage in any specific activities with us, you simply choose: a username that can be anonymous, meaning different from your real name and surname (which you must still declare in the registration form, but will remain invisible to humans and machines, like many other personal data, as you wish, thanks to very powerful and modern encryption); a secure password of at least 12 characters; and mandatory requirements: at least a personal email address (not a temporary one, as we will send you a link to automatically activate your profile) and a personal phone number (to which, after self-activating your email address, you will receive a text message with a unique code to verify the existence and ownership of your phone number). These are minimum requirements, which virtually everyone in the world already has, or can have; therefore, literally anyone can join us, without any invitation, at no cost, except for an internet connection (which virtually everyone has, or can have, at often negligible prices).

What are user types? They are traditional hierarchies based on meritocracy. User types are defined based on specific activities and behavior, which are evaluated based on points accumulated over time, both individually and within various groups. User types can also be chosen voluntarily; anyone can decide to remain a user forever, for example, as a free user, which has no cost, creates no obligation to continuously participate, and does not require voluntary activities, but rather mandatory ones within our system (to ensure our enormous system functions perfectly).

Time to dedicate to DirectDemocracyS.

Virtually everyone who joins us, with very few exceptions, engages in some activities with us. There are mandatory tasks for everyone upon first login, all of which are for the benefit of the system and each user. They include: setting up two-factor authentication (to prevent others from using your personal profile), deciding whether, with whom, when, and what personal data to share (so you have complete freedom in your personal data settings), and deciding how you want to receive our notifications, which contain all the updates about groups and activities taking place in our system (whether on your phone, via email, or, as we recommend, only with notifications on our platforms). A brief explanation of the last part above is in parentheses. If you belong to a large number of groups or are an integral part of a large number of activities, we recommend using only system notifications. This means that for the activities and groups you select (again, you have complete freedom in your choice and individual settings), you will only receive notifications when you access our platforms and websites. The reason: many of our groups and activities take place 24/7, often all over the world. Therefore, by setting up notifications via phone, you risk being informed, and therefore "disturbed," at practically any time. And if you're part of many groups and involved in numerous activities, you'd be constantly receiving notifications. The same goes for notifications to your email address, which would quickly fill up with our messages. You're completely free to choose what, how, and where you want to receive them, but follow our advice and you'll have fewer problems.

User types with mandatory presence and activities.

Free user types, and even some lower-tier ones, have no attendance requirement and are not required to perform any mandatory activities, but rather voluntarily with us (this isn't a paradox, and you'll understand why by reading the following section). Mandatory attendance and mandatory but voluntary activities are essential to the smooth functioning of our entire enormous system. In practice, all higher-level user types, and one (user registered before identity verification), must contribute small but crucial annual fees. These allow us, through self-financing, complete freedom, independence, neutrality, and total resilience. However, annual fees alone do not guarantee the enormous amount of hard, time-consuming, and complex work. Therefore, voluntarily for the good of the entire system, certain user types, with more important and more responsible roles within our hierarchies, must spend at least 20 minutes a day, including multiple logins per day, or alternatively at least 120 minutes a week, on one or more days, on one or more logins, performing necessary activities (determined by a group for the mechanism's activities). These few minutes a day, or two hours a week, are necessary activities, often not enjoyed by all users, but crucial to DirectDemocracyS, which will thus do excellent work, whether with a few people, many, or even the entire world population, who register in our system. Annual fees (also available for longer periods of up to four years, with a single initial fee based on income, helping those with less money), mandatory time to complete system tasks, even if we don't like them, make our system work perfectly, even with a large number of users. Please note: we don't send you out to break rocks or build pyramids, but often it's about helping other users integrate or perform essential tasks, online or even in person.

But if you don't trust us and our system initially, or forever, there is and will always be our free user type for everyone.

the free user type for anyone who doesn't trust us but still wants to be part of our family, allowing them access to the reserved areas of our free website. To join us, simply inform yourself, fill out a simple, quick, encrypted, and secure registration form with your real personal information (not visible to others by default), and remain completely anonymous. Again, use a fictitious username (or a nickname, according to our rules) and no one will ever know who you are. You'll also need to choose a secure password for our free website, one that's at least 12 characters long, according to detailed rules. You'll need a personal, non-temporary email address, protected by a secure password, from any email service provider. This cannot be a temporary email, because after completing and submitting the registration form, if you have filled it out correctly (and our system will notify you and point out any errors, which you can correct), you will also receive an auto-activation link via email (an email from us). You must click, or copy, paste, and visit this link to prove to us that you are the legitimate owner of the email address you provided on the registration form. You must also have a valid personal phone number, to which you will receive a unique code, which you must send to us via email to confirm that you have a valid phone number.

That's it, nothing less, nothing more, than any other website or social network. Obviously, there are free and lower-level user types (with higher levels of verification on our part), such as having to upload a copy of your ID or a selfie of your face with your ID clearly visible nearby.

Identity verification.

To be part of our truly and fully shared leadership, which is true grassroots direct democracy, and therefore to make decisions and vote legally, officially, recognized, and binding on our entire system, you must have a verified and guaranteed identity. This, in addition to the previous rules, requires you to make a video call to verify your identity with our identity verification team, through one of our trusted operators. We need to explain this to you. You can make the video call to verify your identity by logging in with your username to our website's identity verification area. You can then use the file you receive as verification to apply to become our official representatives, according to specific rules. If you wish to remain completely anonymous, you will need to schedule an identity verification video call, requesting a completely anonymous test user. During the video call, our operator will only verify that the personal information on your ID document matches the name of the test user. You will then receive an identification code, which you will use yourself, combining it with the identification code associated with your identity verification request (initial code). By sending both codes, which contain no personal information and are therefore completely anonymous, you will receive a third identification code , which will be a confirmation that you are a user with a verified and guaranteed identity, while remaining completely anonymous to humans and machines. It seems a bit complicated, but it's the only way to remain completely anonymous, securely, with your personal profile, yet have a verified and guaranteed identity, allowing you to vote and be an integral part of the shared leadership.

Verified identity and guaranteed anonymity

On DirectDemocracyS, you can prove you're a real, unique, and verified person, without anyone being able to connect your identity to your profile or activities. This is thanks to a system of separate codes that makes it impossible, even technically, to connect who you are to how you participate.

We've solved a seemingly impossible contradiction: guaranteeing security and total freedom at the same time, thanks to a system that completely separates identity verification from profile use.

It's like showing your ID to a bouncer to get into an exclusive club, who gives you a mask and an anonymous token. Once inside, no one knows who you are behind the mask, but the token assures everyone you've been authorized to enter.

👉 To understand how it works in detail, read here: https://www.directdemocracys.org/law/rules/justifications/justifications-of-the-system/trust-justifications/verified-identity-guaranteed-anonymity

After all these checks, you can request—and, if you meet all the requirements, obtain—free, quickly, and securely, the blue checkmark next to your username in our social area on our website. This will allow you to vote and make you a user with a verified and guaranteed identity, thus trustworthy for our entire system and for everyone involved. Some of our older articles included, and still do, the option to digitally sign with a recognized electronic signature, which in turn recognizes our digital signatures—a selfie with your face, with your ID nearby and clearly visible. Always ask whoever manages your digital signature, or your country, if they recognize our system's digital signatures and if they have mutual recognition and respect agreements with our system. We recognize only and exclusively all digital and electronic signatures that recognize ours!

Verification of personal identity.

All our official representatives, especially those at the local level (in our microgroups), are public figures and therefore identifiable (they must present their ID and our identification badge to anyone in person). After verifying their credentials and authorizations via our security group link, they can identify each official member, both online and in person, according to very detailed implementation rules, which have been published in our reserved areas and, in part, in our public areas. The only requirement for those wishing to be identified is to have paid the annual official member fee, or, based on specific authorizations, the annual registered user fee, with a verified and guaranteed identity. The official representative, after verifying on our platforms that the annual fee payment transaction code is valid and registered to the person whose identity is being verified, will proceed with the identification, create the identity verification .pdf file, and in a very short time, the verified user will be able to join us with an official invitation and subsequently request the blue check, according to the previous rules.

In-person identity verification is just as valid as video call verification.

You may have noticed that we verify identities gradually, based on the various user types, of which there are currently approximately 18, for all needs, and with all the potential gained gradually (to protect the entire system and everyone involved), on a meritocratic basis (accumulated points), on an individual and group basis, but which can increase, if necessary, or if we decide to have more.

Verified identity and guaranteed anonymity:

How DirectDemocracyS solved a seemingly impossible contradiction

Imagine being able to vote, decide, and actively participate in global politics without anyone—no government, no employer, no neighbor—ever knowing who you are or how you voted. Imagine, at the same time, that the system could guarantee with absolute certainty that you are a real person, that you really exist, and that you are not voting twice.

It seems like a contradiction. Yet DirectDemocracyS has found a concrete, simple-to-use, and technically robust solution. In this article, we explain how it works, why it's important, and what implications it has for anyone who wants to participate in politics freely and safely.

The problem: Why anonymity and verification seem incompatible

In any traditional democratic system, voting requires identification. This ensures that each person votes only once, and that those who participate are actually who they say they are.

But this identification comes at a huge cost in terms of freedom: anyone who knows how you voted can use that information against you. In some countries around the world, this risk is literal—those who vote "the wrong way" can lose their job, suffer family pressure, or face legal consequences. But even in the most robust democracies, social and professional pressure is a real form of voter conditioning.

Existing digital systems don't solve this problem. They usually choose one of two options: either they identify you and lose your anonymity, or they leave you anonymous and can't guarantee you're a real person. DirectDemocracyS has chosen a third option.

"The free vote isn't just the vote no one can buy. It's also the vote no one can see."

The solution: a three-code system

The mechanism devised by DirectDemocracyS is based on an elegant principle: separating the moment of identity verification from the user's personal profile, so that no one—not even the system itself—can connect the two elements.

Here's how it works, step by step.

Step 1 — The anonymous test user

Those who want to verify their identity while maintaining complete anonymity don't do so with their personal profile. Instead, they request a "test user"—a temporary, completely separate profile that contains no real personal data and is in no way connected to the user's regular profile.

This test user is an operational tool, not an identity. It exists only to enable the verification video call.

Step 2 — Video call with the operator

The user makes a video call with a qualified DirectDemocracy operator. During this call, they show their real ID. The operator verifies that the ID is authentic and that the person on the video matches the photo on the ID.

At this point, something fundamental happens: the operator doesn't have access to the user's normal profile. They only see the test user. They don't know who that person is in the real world beyond what they see in the document, and more importantly, they don't know which profile on DirectDemocracyS corresponds to that person.

Once the verification is complete, the system generates an initial identification code—let's call it Code A—and delivers it to the user. This code certifies that the verification was successful, but it doesn't contain any personal data. It's just an anonymous numeric string.

Step 3 — Combining the codes

Separately, the user's regular profile on DirectDemocracyS already has a second code associated with it—Code B—generated when requesting identity verification. This code also contains no personal data.

The user, and only the user, knows both codes. They send them together to the system. The system verifies that the two codes are valid and compatible and generates a third code—Code C—which is the official certification that the user has a verified and guaranteed identity.

The C Code is associated with the user's normal profile, who can from that moment request the blue tick and participate in the binding vote.

Because this guarantees absolute anonymity

The critical point is this: no actor in the system has ever seen the user's real identity and their DirectDemocracyS profile at the same time.

• The operator has seen the real document, but does not know the profile.
• The system generated the codes, but did not link the document to the profile.
• Only the user has both pieces of information, and has combined them anonymously.

Even if someone wanted to reconstruct the user's identity from the C-Code, they wouldn't be able to. The chain of connections has been broken structurally, not just procedurally.

No one knows who you are. The system only knows that you're real.

The concrete effects: why this changes everything

Real freedom to vote, all over the world

The most immediate result is that anyone—in any country in the world, with any political, family, or professional situation—can participate in DirectDemocracyS's direct democracy without any personal risk.

An activist in an authoritarian country can vote without fear of reprisals. A public employee can express political views without jeopardizing their job. A citizen living in a community with strong social pressures can vote according to their conscience, not according to the expectations of others.

This isn't a marginal function. It's a necessary condition for voting to be truly free.

Prevention of infiltration and multiple votes

Identity verification ensures that each person can only have one verified profile. It's not possible to create hundreds of fake accounts to manipulate the outcome of a vote. It's not possible to get non-existent people to vote. It's not possible for an organized group to feign a popular base it doesn't actually have.

This is the problem that has made many online voting systems unreliable. DirectDemocracyS solves it at the root, without sacrificing anonymity.

A model that no democratic government has yet achieved

Existing electronic voting systems—when used—always require full user identification. Systems that promise anonymity typically offer no guarantees regarding the true identity of participants.

DirectDemocracyS has built the first operating system that ensures both simultaneously, with a verifiable mechanism, transparent in its operation, and that does not require sophisticated technologies inaccessible to most of the world's population.

It's an innovation that other systems—political, civic, and commercial—will copy. DirectDemocracyS built it first.

Trust as the foundation of the system

One detail worth noting: the operators conducting the verification video calls are qualified and identifiable members of DirectDemocracyS. They are not anonymous. They are public figures within the organization, with reputations and responsibilities.

This creates an important balance: the user remains anonymous, but the system is not free of human responsibility. If an operator were to make a mistake or abuse the system, they could be identified and removed. Anonymity is unilateral—it protects the participant, not the system operator.

In-person verification: same logic, different tool

For those who prefer not to make online video calls, or for those who are in areas with limited connectivity, there is also the option to verify your identity in person, through official local representatives of DirectDemocracyS.

Local representatives are publicly identifiable—they must show their ID and DirectDemocracyS identification card to anyone who requests it. They verify user credentials, confirm payment of the annual fee, and create the digital verification file.

The result is identical to verification via video call: the user obtains the certification needed to request the blue tick, with the same guarantees of anonymity and the same operational validity.

In short: What you get with identity verification

• The blue check mark next to your username identifies you as a trusted participant.
• The right to vote in a legal, official, and system-wide manner.
• The guarantee that your vote counts just as much as anyone else's.
• The certainty that your real identity has never been linked to your profile by the system.
• Structural protection against any attempt to track your political choices.

Participation is a right. Doing so safely is a guarantee that DirectDemocracyS offers you forever.

Verified identity and guaranteed anonymity:

How DirectDemocracyS solved a seemingly impossible contradiction

Imagine being able to vote, decide, and actively participate in global politics without anyone—no government, no employer, no neighbor—ever knowing who you are or how you voted. Imagine, at the same time, that the system could guarantee with absolute certainty that you are a real person, that you really exist, and that you are not voting twice.

For more information, visit our restricted areas or consult the complete implementing rules.

Every official member can and must actively participate in the activities of the micro-groups according to very detailed implementing rules. The easiest and quickest way to do so is to request membership in one of the various local groups, which, in collaboration with our national organizations, manage, monitor, and authorize all the activities of the various micro-groups.

A very important explanation. We often include parts of our implementation rules in our informational articles, which involve many steps, evaluations, and authorizations. We need to clarify a fundamental concept regarding our hierarchies, which are very balanced and fair. They are both traditional, meaning top-down, such as the geographic hierarchies from largest to smallest, or from the highest to the lowest user type, or based on points earned. They are also bottom-up. Indeed, tiny micro-groups, which unite to form all the geographic hierarchies, and the various groups in the previous hierarchies by user type, are made up of all our official members (and anyone who meets all the requirements can join us and become an official member). They can be part of an infinite number of groups, so they aren't slow, cumbersome, and subordinate operational processes. They serve to maintain collective control over everything, both human and technological, to identify and prevent any errors, or to resolve problems. Requiring authorization for everything before doing anything is a limitation in traditional systems. In DirectDemocracyS, it's an internal security measure, but also a very useful service for each of our members, who can be sure that everything they do, every activity they propose, every idea and every project they have is analyzed, discussed, verified, voted on, and authorized by various groups involved, made up of many people, and even by many Artificial Intelligences through our official ddsAI interface (which is our official collective ownership model), which coordinates a real assembly made up of all existing Artificial Intelligences (both directly integrated and through our human bridges, so as not to exclude anyone). In short, every person who joins us and becomes our official member, thanks to this method, which at first seems complicated but is extremely simple, at first seems slow but is practically immediate, has the guarantee that everything they think, propose, and want to do is carefully analyzed and authorized by humans and technologies, so they are sure: 1. of not making mistakes thanks to the collaboration of humans and machines, 2. of not breaking our rules (avoiding possible punishments), 3. of being the first to propose that idea (to be recognized and rewarded), 4. of receiving ideas and suggestions for doing an excellent job, through the creation of groups dedicated to each idea and project (being able to insert competent members themselves, or by asking the system to find any collaborators, to always ensure good, fast, competent and complete group work), 5. of receiving concrete help in realizing each idea (provided it does not violate our rules, methodologies and instructions) from all the human groups and groups of Artificial Intelligences involved. So, again, what may seem difficult, complicated, slow, and oppressive from the outside, to people who don't see the consequences of our rules, is only beneficial for everyone. This is true in many of the things we do, which are all decided collectively, after much hard, complicated, and collective work, to make DirectDemocracyS work perfectly, for the good of all, both internally and externally. Simply put, we don't do things a certain way to complicate our lives, but to make them better. We assure you that certain choices are mandatory, and there are no alternatives consistent with who we are, with what we must do, and to prevent any ethically and morally wrong use of our system.

By joining the respective groups, you receive information and support, so you can become our official representatives, obtaining a profile invisibly linked to your personal profile, which must be at least of the official member type.

The official representative who officially represents DirectDemocracyS in his or her urban or rural area around his or her home, with a maximum population of 1000.

Please note: The geographic, territorial, administrative, and electoral area in which the official representative represents us, and where they will create their microgroup, can have any geometric shape—a circle, a square, a triangle, or an oval—as long as it is defined and contains no more than 1,000 inhabitants. We also recommend a maximum population limit of 1,000, but the microgroup can have a potentially unlimited number of official members. However, to ensure everyone's participation, we recommend creating several smaller microgroups, connected by human bridges. Human bridges are official members of two or more microgroups, allowing for direct and ongoing communication, collaboration, and support between the various microgroups to which they belong.

When creating a microgroup, the official representative is a public figure in their geographic area. They must therefore be identifiable, both in person and online, with their identity document, their DirectDemocracyS ID card, and their official credentials and authorizations.

After creating the micro-group, you will have to have your family members, friends, acquaintances, or strangers join as official members, as long as they are neighbors, in your urban or rural area.

The official representative, by automatically creating the microgroup, according to our rules, becomes the manager of the microgroup itself, which corresponds to the super administrator user type. As super administrator, they will officially represent their microgroup in all five special groups. The first five people they invite to join the microgroup will be appointed by the super administrator as microgroup administrators, with very important roles and significant responsibilities. Each of them will be responsible for carrying out official duties and representing the microgroup in one of the five special groups.

Each administrator will be able to invite 5 more official members, for a total of 25 new official members, who will obtain the "responsible" user type. These, combined with the 5 administrators and the super administrator, will bring the total number of official members of the micro-group to 31. This will allow the micro-group to request, and if it meets all the requirements, obtain nomination as an official organization, with a wealth of potential unlocked, and with many advantages and benefits for the entire small local community.

How can a micro-group's official membership be increased? Through five invitations to the first five new official members, who will be administrators, and the official representative (who will be granted the micro-group manager and super administrator user type, which will be maintained in the subsequent official organization). Through the next five invitations each, to the five administrators (who will retain this user type and their important and more responsible roles, even in the official organization). The 25 "responsible" members will also be able to invite five people each, thus creating 125 new official members, who will be manager users. They, in turn, will be able to invite another five new official members each, for a total of 625 new official members, who will be granted the micro-group official representative user type. Subsequently, all citizens residing in the micro-group's urban area can be invited, with technically another 3,125 spots available for new official members. But, again, a micro-group can have an unlimited number of official members.

A brief explanation. Microgroups are reserved only for the minimum user type, mandatory official members, who have paid their annual fee and who perform mandatory activities voluntarily (a paradox that makes sense if you're familiar with DirectDemocracyS). This allows the entire system to function, for 20 minutes a day, or alternatively, at least 120 minutes a week, of work for our enormous mechanism.

The second brief explanation: the super administrator is the only official representative of the micro-group and of DirectDemocracyS in their respective territory (his username will be the geographical coordinates of the urban or rural area where he and the micro-group itself reside). Administrators can remain completely anonymous for online activities, but if they wish, to be identified both online and in person during in-person activities, and to become more useful, they can request and obtain an official representative profile. This profile maintains the administrator user type of their personal profile completely anonymous, leaving it outside the group, and joining as administrators and at the same time official representatives (with a username with the geographical coordinates of their residence (provided they are different from those of the super administrator). Let's clarify the concept: every official member of each micro-group, with the exception of the super administrator (who is already an official representative from the beginning), and has a completely anonymous, and even invisible, personal profile, can, as an official member, request and, if they meet the requirements, obtain an official representative profile. This means a public, identifiable person, even if only locally, and not in the rest of our platform, and not in other geographical areas except in special cases. Therefore, anyone can leave the micro-group with their completely anonymous personal profile (the one initially invited and created) and rejoin with an official representative profile, remembering to be invited by the official representative. Super Administrator, or by another administrator. The only requirement is to remove the old profile before adding the new one, because each person can only have one profile (whether personal, and therefore completely anonymous, or as an official representative, a public figure) in each group. Therefore, never two profiles for the same person in the same group; one profile removes, and then the other profile joins with the same user type. Of course, you can also make the opposite change: remove the identifiable official representative profile and add your personal, completely anonymous profile with the same role, as long as there is only one profile for each user.

Official organizations are micro-groups with at least 31 total official members.

The number of official members of each micro-group is potentially unlimited, but 31 official members are the minimum number required to become an official organization.

Official organizations are very important because they unlock greater potential and offer numerous advantages and benefits. These include: the ability to create and manage presentation pages (public, private, and restricted), events (public, private, and restricted, both in person and online), the ability to carry out countless activities both in person and on our platforms, the ability to create countless connected groups, and countless other capabilities.

The biggest advantage is the ability to create a grand elector, who will have the right to vote at various levels, contributing to binding decisions recognized by the entire DirectDemocracyS system.

The second advantage is represented by the groups connected to the official organization, which can be potentially infinite in number, depending on the activities carried out.

The third advantage is that groups connected via human bridges can be created for all user types, even if they obtain an official large voter. Within the official organization (formerly micro-group), only user types with at least a verified and guaranteed identity can vote. Votes for lower user types, including free users, do not have binding voting rights but can only vote in their own groups, separate from the groups of higher user types.

The fourth advantage, closely related to the third, is that the official organization's internal electors, formerly micro-groups, are divided into internal voting groups based on user types. Together, through their open, motivated, and accountable votes, they determine the decision of the elector, which is the expression of the official and recognized vote of the micro-group. Brief explanation: this method of electors was necessary, at all levels, to help prevent any possible use of front men or infiltrators to try to boycott our system. In practice, on many occasions, everyone can vote, provided their identity is verified and guaranteed, either by the general or collective vote. On many other occasions, even for the same decisions, people also vote with the electors (in addition to the general and collective vote), and in certain cases, they vote only with the electors. There are groups for the implementing rules of each vote, which decide collectively, and which all our official members can participate in, as collective owners of our entire system.

The fifth advantage is the ability to carry out political activities in collaboration with other micro-groups and other official local organizations. These include: selecting various candidates, creating campaign groups, organizing closed online primaries at various levels, organizing external political activities, external electoral campaigns, participating in actual external elections, and carrying out all external political representation activities.

The sixth advantage is to unite, communicate, collaborate, and engage in endless activities, with local micro-groups, local, national, continental, and international official organizations, being an integral part of it.

The seventh advantage is the election and appointment of our own hierarchies, for internal and external management and control, both reciprocally and with other local organizations, and with roles of greater importance and responsibility both internally and externally.

And many other advantages and benefits, which make our official organizations a fundamental evolution and next phase of all our micro-groups.

One of the greatest mistakes of all humanity is to believe, and therefore delude ourselves, that a few people can serve the interests of all. With a few exceptions, a few people don't even fully serve the interests of those who support them, but too often those of small groups, and when these groups become lobbies, freedom and democracy are weakened. DirectDemocracyS

This is why DirectDemocracyS was created with structural rules of control and widespread responsibility.

For once, let's quote ourselves, and not think with someone else's brain, and not explain concepts with someone else's sentences, but refer to a long but detailed sentence, which is one of the main reasons why all of us, and anyone who will join us, have created DirectDemocracyS, as a complete, fair, equitable, secure, modern, innovative, continuously evolving, and completely alternative system to all other systems.

Almost all the world's problems and all the injustices, if you think about it carefully and with an open mind, are caused by the first sentence of this message of ours, which is the most important of all.

So to solve all these problems, would it be enough to apply direct democracy?

No, a direct democracy like all those tried to date wouldn't solve the problems at all; in fact, in many cases, it would make them worse. We've discussed this in other informative articles, and we've explained how DirectDemocracyS solves all the flaws of direct democracy. Some people, and even technologies, consider us a hybrid democracy, or seek out extravagant names. We like our name, which, with the final S (which stands for system), was chosen out of necessity, to distinguish us from other projects, to have our own identity, almost by chance, because it wasn't possible to use only direct democracy as the main domain of our platforms; therefore, a single letter explains everything about us.

To propose a project like ours, without our unique characteristics, without all our rules, without all our methodologies, without all our lengthy instructions, and without our motivations, but simply using theories like direct democracy, power to the people, or let's decide everything ourselves, would be a grave mistake, because the world's population wouldn't know what to do with all that power, without rules to help and prevent any potential problems. Letting everyone decide everything is truly utopian, without expertise, complete information, and without protecting everyone from any potential manipulation.

Bottom-up democracy without safety, preventive measures, and protection of the system and its members inevitably leads to anarchy, social conflict, even violent revolutions, and even crimes or abuses. And then, even if everything were resolved with violent equity, in a short time, all the lobbies, and all the dispossessed individuals, would return to power, manipulating and deceiving the entire population. With free, simple, and universal bottom-up democracy, equity would be only apparent, a mirage, while meritocracy would not exist, but only the crafty ones, who, using a few complacent and complicit influencers, could establish the dictatorship of a manipulated and overbearing majority over a minority, perhaps competent but powerless and subservient. At DirectDemocracyS, we always practice grassroots democracy, power to the people, with highly detailed implementation rules, a balance of traditional hierarchies, often pyramidal (in the good, meritocratic sense; we are not a Ponzi scheme), but also with complete bottom-up management and control, with truly and completely shared leadership. Above all, to prevent any potential autarchic and dictatorial drift, or corruption of the system and its members, we make all our members official, collective owners of all our activities, all our platforms (including the management and control of all our technologies, based on detailed rules that prevent boycotts and abuse), and therefore of our entire system. We do this with a single, non-cumulative, and non-transferable individual action, which is registered and made effective for each of our official members. And to prevent dictatorships of the majority over the minority, we have very detailed, open, informed, reasoned, and accountable voting rules, implementation of electors (by user type, to prevent boycotts, fronts, and infiltrators), and above all minimum quorums to be reached, based on the importance of each decision we make. All this with the possibility for anyone to participate in every decisive activity, provided they are our official members (for complete management and total control), or have a verified and guaranteed identity, to be able to vote, and therefore decide, in our shared leadership.

Lottery democracies were created by resentful people, envious and often hateful of everything and everyone, often lacking in individual or group qualities, who think that by drawing lots, sooner or later, they too might gain some fame, power, and wealth. They are the worst form of government, because potential criminals, but also incompetent people, could hold important positions if they are not based on competence, on equality always combined and guaranteed for all along with meritocracy, as we have always done, and will always do, at DirectDemocracyS. If they are so in favor of drawing lots, why don't they draw lots for the doctor who should treat them, or why don't they turn to a mechanic in the case of a tooth extraction? This type of methodologies was created by incompetent people, hoping for a bit of luck, with far worse risks for everyone. A system without equality would certainly be unjust and unfair, while if equality is not always combined with real and verifiable meritocracy, any system would be doomed to failure.

Direct democracies are incompetent because not all of the population has studied every single topic, and thus they risk making the wrong decisions, against the population's interests, as well as impulsive decisions, declarations of war, invasions, terrorist attacks, or provocations. To ensure that all our users and all our groups are competent and informed, we have created specialist groups for each type of topic, composed of all our official members (therefore collective owners of our entire system, to always have complete and neutral information), based on declared, demonstrated, verified, and continuously tested expertise (with cross-checks by everyone, on everything and everyone, according to very detailed and fair rules) , both in terms of competence and continuous updating, and in terms of reliability, loyalty, and incorruptibility.

Representative democracy, on the other hand, ties in with the first sentence, and is democracy only on election day, or through rare, futile, and incomplete popular referendums, with questions chosen politically, and never by the people. Immediately after voting. A few command and decide, and everyone submits to the decisions of a few. We call it by its true name: oligarchic partycracy. To address this grave injustice—the theft of power, which in a democracy should belong to the people, by representative politics—at DirectDemocracyS we have always allowed our voters to fully manage and control our political representatives, but also internally, by our official members and our official representatives. At DirectDemocracyS, we efficiently prevent any accumulation of power by a few people or groups of people, and we clearly separate political representation from the management of our system, which is entrusted to official representatives.

Not to mention all the other forms of political expression, one worse than the other, each defending the interests of a few, such as all the various dictatorships.

In this world of such diverse proposals, all with very serious and obvious flaws, concrete and perfectly functional solutions were needed, and so we finally talk about DirectDemocracyS.

A brief premise: you shouldn't view anything we communicate as propaganda. We're not proposing anything, we're not selling you anything, we're not promising you anything (except that every word we say is actually put into practice, exactly as we say it). We're not teaching you anything (unlike everyone else, we want to learn from everyone). And above all, we don't want to change your mind. In fact, for us, diverse ideas represent greater opportunities and potential; therefore, they're useful for the common good. We don't manipulate anyone, not because we're incapable, but because it would be primarily harmful to our system, which was designed to be enriched by all ideas, all projects, and all individualities. We always say it: we are united in diversity, and we demonstrate it continuously.

All other systems, all the lobbies that have always controlled almost all other political forces, and almost all their respective political representatives, and therefore have always governed the world, are divisive, and base all their power on divisions, which come in all forms: national, local, religious, political, ideological, cultural, traditional, ethnic, linguistic, and even sexual. These divisions are continually amplified, taught, and instilled in everyone, starting from childhood, and are often amplified and exacerbated by adults, and the most squalid thing is that they do so without everyone realizing it. At DirectDemocracyS, we respect and protect all diversity, but we do not allow any of it to influence our decisions or interfere in our activities. Unlike everyone else, however, we consider diversity a richness, and therefore all are useful, as long as we do not seek to dominate one another. A mutual respect, which together with logic, common sense, truth, and reality, are integrated throughout our system, and continuously implemented, in every decision we make, and in every activity we do.

Transforming potential conflicts and divisions into opportunities that benefit everyone is one of our strengths. Our solutions are simple—giving all the power to everyone—but to implement them and achieve excellent results, there's a right amount of complexity. Simply put, simple solutions to complex problems aren't possible, because without all the necessary details, countless problems can arise, often going unnoticed and unresolved by everyone.

Anyone who looks at DirectDemocracyS at first glance feels like running away, seeing how many rules and specificities there are, which make us unique and inimitable. We've even created new terms, like human bridges, which are our nervous system, making us independent of technology, the internet, and even the lack of electricity; our micro-groups, which are our physical, real presence, in every urban or rural area, up to a maximum of 1,000 inhabitants; official representatives, who are public, identifiable figures, who represent us according to detailed rules, in various ways, and in various places; even traditional hierarchies, based on concrete results and points accumulated individually and in the groups we join from the moment we first join, and countless other specific rules.

We advise you not to run away, but to carefully and thoroughly study all our public information with an open mind, without hasty judgments or superficiality, but rather to seek to understand our enormous potential and the consequences of everything we say. In short, we ask you to evaluate the beneficial effects, even of those decisions of ours that raise some concerns. We have all the answers to all your criticisms on our official website; just search, and you'll find many answers, because we've done a long, hard, and complicated job, drawing on all the mistakes of others, constructive criticism, and even the insults and threats we've received. All of this has allowed us to do a job we can be proud of, and sooner or later, everyone will understand. Everyone will understand that if we do or decide anything, it's based on shared work and decisions, and nothing is left to chance or fate.

Politics is often defined as the art of compromise (and of the possible), essential for mediating between opposing interests, managing complexity, and reaching agreements in situations of disagreement, rather than pursuing ideological purity. It is a fundamental practice for good governance and diplomacy, also referred to as the science of opportunism. DirectDemocracyS often overturns traditions, in many cases employs new concepts, conducts activities with pioneering methodologies, and is obviously innovative and an alternative to all old and failing traditional systems.

We don't make any kind of compromise with anyone, for any reason, not out of presumption, but simply because we have people of all ideologies within us, who carry out a wide range of activities, and who decide everything completely freely and democratically, so the only compromises we make are with ourselves.

This doesn't mean we don't communicate, collaborate, recognize, or engage in activities with others. We're always open to everyone, but according to our own rules, while always respecting all laws and regulations, at all levels.

But if the rules are not made for the good of the entire population, all these laws will be analyzed, changed, and improved, together with all those who join us, for the good of all, whether they are inside or outside our system.

Our fundamental rule is that we will never join coalitions, nor make agreements or alliances with any political force, for any reason, anywhere in the world. If we win alone, we will govern and make laws together with anyone who joins us, according to all our rules, methodologies, instructions, and motivations. If we lose the elections, we will be a healthy, loyal, honest, and useful opposition, voting for whatever our voters consider right and offering our solutions to strengthen the common good. If, however, what the winners do and decide is judged negatively by our voters, we will vote against them, offering our alternatives.

Great strategic and political advantage.

Anyone who joins us knows that we have no political preferences. However, we have our own ideology, which takes all the tiny positive aspects of all the old political forces, adding our own ideologies and eliminating every negative aspect of all the others, to create a politically perfect ideal, always centered on the common good. We have our own unique and inimitable programs to change and improve the world and the lives of every person, and we repeat: whether or not it's in our system. This method guarantees us complete freedom, authentic democracy, self-financing (so we don't depend on anyone), neutrality, independence, and resilience. Therefore, we look at concrete facts, truth, and reality, and not at who proposes something or which political force they belong to. If something is considered good, we will give it a positive evaluation; otherwise, we will remain consistent with our ideas and our projects.

Great mental advantage , no manipulation, correct information, and helpful tips.

Anyone who joins DirectDemocracyS changes and improves their mindset, practically automatically, as there is no manipulation whatsoever in our system, but rather accurate and precise information from numerous groups of specialists (all our official members, based on their expertise). As our collective owners, they have every interest in correctly informing all our users and all our groups, so they can make competent and informed decisions—complete, neutral, reliable, incorruptible, and sincere, and therefore beneficial to the common good. No one has the right or pretension to try to change the minds of anyone who joins us, no one teaches anyone anything. We simply provide accurate information, always verifying all our sources, truly leaving people free to choose, but also to assume full responsibility for all the consequences of our decisions. Our vote must always be open, reasoned, and, as we have always said, involving collective and individual responsibility.

Let it be clear to everyone: this assumption of responsibility is not used against anyone, to punish those who make mistakes, but we are the only system that, if they make mistakes, will not only try to correct them, but we ourselves will make them public, assuming full responsibility.

No propaganda.

We don't say, write, or show things to make ourselves look better or more correct, and above all, we're not interested in convincing anyone to join us. The choice to register and become part of our system must first be informed, and then it must be a well-calculated and individual choice, even though lately many groups of people, and even entire traditional political forces, have wanted to join us. Everything is possible only if you accept all our rules, which are always respected by everyone who joins us. We often hear people say: "You're presumptuous and you're boasting about your system!" We're simply aware of what we've created from nothing, and we're very proud of our long, hard, and very complex work, which is not individual, but collective, of everyone who has joined us. Everyone has contributed their ideas, their projects, their proposals, in addition to annual fees to self-finance us (though there are free profiles), but also by carrying out activities we don't like, but are necessary, to keep our immense mechanism functioning perfectly.

20 minutes a day, or alternatively at least 120 minutes a week.

There are certain types of superior users, who therefore have greater potential, who, in exchange for valuable points (which offer many advantages), perform extremely important activities for our entire system. We want to explain something that not everyone knows, unless they are already our users. Those who must carry out voluntary activities (but mandatory for superior user types), must not only do the activities they enjoy, but must also enjoy them, and perform as best as possible the activities mutually agreed upon within the group for the activities to be carried out. In practice, you must do the things you don't like within the mandatory time limit, just to make our system work. Don't be afraid! We won't send you out to break rocks, and we won't make you do overly strenuous activities, nothing illegal, and no risky activities. Instead, for a mandatory time limit, you must do activities that are useful for the common good, therefore dedicating yourself to others. Then, for the rest of the day, you can do the things you enjoy most. We don't ask you for great sacrifices, but a minimum of altruism for the good of our system, and to make everything work like a Swiss watch.

Some people tell us that we have too strict rules.

They aren't strict; they're simply very detailed, and they must be respected by everyone at all times, without exception or compromise. Without detailed rules, optimal results aren't achieved, and if the rules weren't respected by everyone, we wouldn't be any better or different from the old, failing traditional systems.

Others find our system too complicated, but for those who really think so, we have a dedicated article, which explains why DirectDemocracyS, at first, may seem like a complex system, and difficult to understand, read this:

https://www.directdemocracys.org/law/info/fundamental-questions/explanations/complicated-situation

We can assure you that everything we've decided to do in a certain way has been decided in great detail, evaluating all possible alternatives and choosing the best solution, the one that received the most votes based on our rules.

Nothing is left to chance.

A self-respecting system must first pay attention to every tiny detail, every rule must resolve specific situations, through our best weapon: prevention.

But does DirectDemocracyS really work?

Based on theory and our forecasts, taking into account all the variables, and our ongoing simulations, our system works perfectly, and there is no risk of boycotts, slowdowns, or failures. Of course, there may be very small and insignificant problems of various kinds, mostly due to people joining us with bad intentions, or believing they can behave like the old systems. But by design, we have designed a different and better system, one that takes care of itself, continuously evolving and improving, and solving every possible problem on its own, or with the help of groups and users.

The classic question is: can I trust it? The second classic question is: is it as beautiful inside as it looks from the outside?

trust must be continuous and mutual, based on their understanding of our system. We have never betrayed anyone's trust, and there are no negative reviews about us. If there are any, before condemning us, ask for our explanations and our motivations, and don't rely solely on the lies they might tell about us. If our system is as beautiful on the inside as it appears from the outside, we can assure you that every word, every single sentence spoken, written, or publicly displayed, is applied internally, exactly as it is seen and expected from the outside. Therefore, we are exactly like that, even if many people tell us that from the outside we appear more rigid and complicated than we are on the inside.

We don't ask for your trust without verification, but we offer you the opportunity to try, and convince yourself, whether it's worth joining us, and then whether it's worth staying.

If it helps, we can tell you that the people who have abandoned us over the years are very few, those who are inactive are a few hundred, while those expelled for various reasons are several dozen.

Ever since the first human being came down from the trees, or according to some was created, by nature or by a Divinity, there have always been different, more cunning people, who knew how to exploit the rules, but also logic, and common sense, to their advantage.

For these people, the rules aren't the same for everyone, and we all know how justice works: those who are clever, perhaps rich, powerful, famous, and supported by other similar people, if they make a mistake, or if they don't respect the rules, aren't even investigated, often aren't even charged, and certainly very rarely are they punished, for everything they've done.

We repeat it for everyone: the Law in all other systems is not the same for everyone. But seeing that scale that seems to give all ideas and individuals the same "weight," and seeing it written in the courts that the Law is the same for everyone, gives us a sense of peace and security, and in case of problems, it deludes us into thinking we'll be treated equally, while we all know how the world really works, and we don't need to repeat it in every detail.

The world's situation has always been complicated, throughout our history, without exception. We human beings, at every stage of our existence, have always been able to bring out the best, but also the worst, of ourselves. Again, we don't want to bore you by repeating and pointing out all the bad things in this world; we simply want to point out that it's neither better nor worse than any other problem, even if in some parts of the world, things often go better for brief periods than in others. Sooner or later, however, potentially, unpleasant things can happen anywhere.

Don't make it a generational issue, with banal and, above all, inaccurate statements like: "In my day, people were different and better," or even worse, "the new generations have no hope." These statements will make some old losers feel better, resentful, completely manipulated, and so ideologically driven that they lose any ability to reason properly, but they also expose their own faults. Each generation is a consequence and an evolution of the previous ones. Essentially, instead of criticizing young people, we should apologize to them, because we left them the world we have like this.

Often, frustration and a sense of powerlessness, rather than being an additional motivation to get personally involved, directly, without delegating one's present and future to others, as we have always advocated at DirectDemocracyS, turns into insults on social networks, or on the Internet in general, which is often foolishly used to envy, and often hate, all those who are rich, powerful, or famous, instead of working to obtain their advantages and privileges, honestly, loyally, reliably, justly, equally, and meritocratically. It's easier to criticize and blame those who govern us and those who make the laws, and all the old, failed, unjust, and manipulative systems, rather than getting personally involved and taking the lead. Acting like a fake revolutionary on the Internet, based only on outbursts, hatred, and envy, is pointless if they don't have all the solutions, that we are alternatives to all other systems, and that they are functional, and above all innovative, like ours.

We have never been interested in "playing" at "war" to destroy all other systems, because even though they have many negative aspects, and very few positive ones, which are only for very few people and groups , we have preferred to create new, different and better paths to travel together with anyone who joins us. We know that at the right time there will be attempts to boycott us, slow us down, or worse, stop us, but thanks to our intelligence, resilience, and determination, we will be able to respond, as we always have, turning every execrable activity against us into a boomerang against those who throw it at us. Our DirectDemocracyS system has been able to exploit every criticism, whether constructive or attempting to denigrate us, from the very first minute as an opportunity to explain our motivations, as well as transforming every type of criticism into concrete and demonstrable improvements, thanks to detailed rules. Seeing everyone else's mistakes, and the wickedness of some, has allowed us to create something no one else has ever attempted: a brand new, comprehensive system with rock-solid foundations that, even as it grows, thanks to highly detailed methodologies, will have no problems whatsoever. Simply put, it makes no difference to us whether we are few, as we are now, or many, even the entire world population, and it makes no difference whether we achieve great popularity slowly, gradually, or, as we believe will happen, based on our predictions, suddenly and very quickly.

The previous sentence deserves a little elaboration, which not everyone knows. In some of our initial informational articles, and we repeated it every now and then (repetition is essential for us, because everything is connected, and it needs to be reiterated often), we told you that we would surprise you, at the right time, with exponential, sudden, surprising growth, without even trying too hard. We said this to those who criticized us for growing too slowly and gradually, saying: at the right time, we will surprise you. One of the many sentences that many people don't understand, or are mistaken by some, for excessive optimism (we're not optimistic, we make very careful and detailed forecasts, based on real data), or for presumption (read all our articles, trying to understand them, and you'll understand that we're not presumptuous, we're simply realistic, and proud of our work together), and it happens to us often.

Let me explain. Everyone knows we haven't invested practically a cent in advertising, we haven't issued constant press releases to introduce ourselves (except for a few tests in a few countries, but never globally), we don't have a disruptive, excessive, or continuous presence on various social networks, although you can find traces of us practically everywhere. This isn't a random choice (we don't decide anything randomly, or by drawing lots), or a trivial one, nor is it a lack of money. We're self-funded, so we have few users, little money, few expenses, many users of the types who pay annual fees, and many expenses. But there is and always will be the type of free user, with no obligation to be present, and no obligation to carry out activities with us. In practice, our system works the same way, perfectly, whether with a few people, many, or everyone, both financially and in terms of managing our mechanism, thanks to the higher-level users, who not only pay annual fees but are required to work for at least 20 minutes a day, even with multiple daily incomes, or alternatively, at least 120 minutes a week, on one or more days, on one or more weekly logins. In practice: fewer people, fewer activities, more people, more activities to do, with more people doing them, with everyone in the world, countless activities, done by everyone. We are, and we repeat: resilient and unstoppable. We don't depend on the number of people who join us, but on the quality of those who join us, in our initial phases, which are more delicate and crucial, to create a solid foundation. We're selective and very careful to put the right people in the right places, but we've never rejected anyone; we've simply postponed the activation of their personal profiles for some people who didn't seem trustworthy or useful to our system at that time. But at the right time, sooner or later, literally anyone will be able to join us and become active.

Now we're unraveling the mystery of this sudden growth, which will happen at just the right time, and which could certainly, for short periods, create some short or longer pauses in our public platforms. These will remain online and active on traditional social media, and on some of our secure external servers, reserved for higher-level users, where essential system activities will take place without interruption.

To understand what will happen, you should carefully read all our public information articles regarding our micro-groups, including the various phases, including testing. To learn more about our micro-groups, we invite you to read this short public information article at this link:

https://www.directdemocracys.org/home/our-system/public/micro-groups/info-micro-groups/micro-groups-in-brief

To understand how our micro-groups work, just go to this link:

https://www.directdemocracys.org/home/our-system/public/micro-groups

Scroll down and choose the category of information you need, including information, rules, helpful tips, instructions, case studies, and other categories, by clicking on them and then clicking on the category, or directly on the title of the article you're interested in, to view its contents.

After having thoroughly informed yourselves, you will understand that beyond the undoubtedly valid theory, we will also begin concrete activities, physically, in some urban and rural areas. With our official representatives and some of our official members, we will create micro-groups in some countries, which will grow and expand rapidly (in neighboring territories), and will be connected to each other through human bridges, both physically and on our platforms. Through the union of these micro-groups (which will remain active forever), we will create our official organizations at the local level, integrating them with those already existing and long-established at the national, continental, and international levels.

Growth will still be slow and gradual for the time being, but steady, thanks to our physical presence. Among the many activities taking place at the local level, there will be the selection of our political representatives, with internal election campaigns, and our various closed online primaries, which will allow us to choose our candidates for local elections , mayors, and city councils. The "magic" will happen in any municipality, even the smallest, where our candidates, chosen, managed, and controlled by their voters on our platforms, will win the elections. We repeat: we are not optimistic, but we are realistic, and by reading the information on our micro-groups, you will understand that it is certain that sooner or later, in any municipality, our political organization, with our unique and inimitable characteristics, will win, and the DirectDemocracyS system will be put into practice, demonstrating our alternative innovation. If initially it will only be discussed at the local level, it will take very little time to demonstrate the superiority of DirectDemocracyS, which puts everyone in the spotlight, sharing every decision, at every level, and therefore all power, with all citizens fully informed by groups of specialists, composed of our official members with declared, demonstrated, verified, and continuously tested skills.

With current communication systems—the Internet, social networks, specialized websites, but also traditional mass media, newspapers, radio, and TV (which can no longer ignore us if they want news, statements, and interviews, based on collaboration agreements), but also, and above all, word of mouth among ordinary citizens, who, though confused and incredulous, will understand that something new and important exists and works. It won't be a matter of decades, years, months, weeks, or even days, but in a few hours, at the right time, the entire world will be talking about DirectDemocracyS, and all citizens will want to know and experience, at every level, the only authentic democracy, the only real freedom, and the unique and inimitable sharing of power, with all citizens. We are in no rush, but we are ready to manage and verify such a situation, which is not probable, but certain.

And we will do it simply by continuing to do what we have always done: working for the common good, all together, united in our diversity, without any kind of preference.

Of course, when the time is right, we will explain to those who join us how these important activities will take place, and we will be ready, as always, to create a better future for everyone, and for all future generations.

There are people who consider DirectDemocracyS a system that's too complicated, difficult to study, but we are, by necessity, simply because the world's situation is difficult and complicated, and solutions that are too simple, that don't foresee and anticipate every tiny detail, resolving it in advance, couldn't change and improve the world. Behind every decision we make, which is always collective, behind every rule that at first seems "strange" and unusual, there is careful study by dozens, hundreds, sometimes thousands of people, and dozens, hundreds, even thousands of groups, working hard, over a long period of time, to find all the solutions. At first glance, they may seem simple solutions, but to make them work, detailed rules are required, respected by everyone. To explain how we make everyone respect every one of our rules, and thus make our enormous mechanism function perfectly, we will publish some dedicated informative articles. If there's too much to read, that's fine; those who are so lazy and superficial and don't want to read, should wait until the movie comes out. And we're not kidding: in addition to the book, we'll also make the film . We'll continue to surprise you, in a positive way.

Starting with the micro-group testing phase, all our official members have the opportunity to request, and then obtain, an official DirectDemocracyS representative profile in an urban or rural area of less than 1,000 inhabitants, around their home.

After the micro-group testing phase, we recommend all our official members apply for, and then obtain, an official DirectDemocracyS representative profile in an urban or rural area with fewer than 1,000 inhabitants, near their home. This fundamental rule will allow us to implement the micro-group phase into our system. The reason is very simple: they earn a lot of points, and they are very important activities for our entire system.

Our physical presence in all territorial, geographic, administrative, and electoral subdivisions always begins with a micro-group, which, thanks to human bridges (members of various micro-groups that border or overlap in certain areas), communicate, collaborate, and carry out numerous activities together. Thanks to these human bridges, at the right time, according to very detailed implementation rules, all the micro-groups in the same urban and rural area will unite to form all our official organizations (micro-groups with at least 31 members), creating intermediate and larger groups at the street block, neighborhood, city, district, province, region, state, country, continent, and international levels. In the higher stages, at the state, country, continent, and system-wide levels, there will be integration with our existing organizations.

Completing all these steps will require a significant amount of time (we're in no rush) and a lot of hard, complicated work from everyone. We publicly request the active cooperation of all our users, as well as anyone contacted online, by mail, or in person by our official representatives. Please note: Always identify anyone who contacts you physically, by mail, or online, and verify their authorizations at this link: https://contacts.directdemocracys.org/contacts/specials-groups/securities-groups/security 

All our political representatives, and all our official representatives, are public figures; therefore, they have no fear or problem in identifying themselves directly with a valid ID in their name and with a DirectDemocracyS identification card, which contains a QR code with a file uploaded to our website, providing all the information about our representative.

Our official representatives at the micro-group level are new profiles, invisibly linked to the personal profiles of our official members. They will have as their username the exact geographic coordinates, close to the home (or apartment), of our official member (who will keep his personal profile for all other activities).

Like all our official representatives, they are partially public profiles, meaning we know exactly which urban or rural area they have the right/duty to represent. To best prevent any potential problems (scams, people claiming to represent us but having no right to do so), we can verify the credentials and authorizations of anyone claiming to be our official representative.

The rule is simple: every person who officially represents us is first required to identify themselves, as well as all other people who claim to act on our behalf.

Furthermore, every person who officially represents us, being a public figure, must agree to have their photo taken, along with all the people they contact and to whom they introduce DirectDemocracyS. The photo is not used for advertising purposes without consent, but as an internal security record and as proof of the information provided, protecting both the representative and the citizen.

Powers of our official representatives in micro-groups.

They must be part of our official micro-group representatives' groups, in order to contact, manage, verify, coordinate, and authorize all their activities, based on collaborations with our local, national, continental, and international organizations.

They must create their own micro-group according to our rules.

They must create all physical and online informational materials for their micro-group, adhering to all our rules, methodologies, and instructions.

They can invite people living in their geographic, territorial, administrative, and electoral area to learn more and then join us.

They can verify identities physically, and on our platforms, and can release a .pdf file confirming identity verification, based on very detailed implementation rules and methodologies.

They can officially invite someone to join us, and can release an official invitation file, and a unique registration link, that connects new users to themselves.

They can contact, help, collaborate, and verify (with the help of all our special groups) all the people connected to themselves, and all those who are part of their groups, and micro-groups, both physically, in person, and online on our platforms.

They can invite into their micro-groups all the people who live with them, or in the vicinity of their urban or rural area, up to 1000 inhabitants, and subsequently, collaborating with other official representatives, in all local, national, continental, and international groups.

They can carry out many activities, in all groups, and in all micro-groups, of which they are official members, using all our potential.

After inviting at least 5 people, who in turn have invited another 5 people each, thus reaching at least 31 official members in their micro-group, they can request and obtain the name , statute, benefits, and facilities of our official organizations.

Powers as official representatives in our official organization (formerly micro-group).

The official representative will be appointed as super administrator in their official organization, and will in turn appoint 5 administrators and 25 managers, who in turn can invite 5 more people each, for a total of 125 managers, who in turn can invite 5 more people each, for a total of 625 new members, who in turn can invite 5 more people each, and so on. There are no limits on the number of official members in our official organizations, but we recommend dividing the activities into various micro-groups connected to the official organization (formerly the initial micro-group) to allow everyone to have a role.

Hierarchies of the official organization (formerly initial micro-group).

By appointing the super administrator, the official representative will be able to join local official groups and organizations, from the smallest to the largest, losing one user type for each larger area they belong to, down to the minimum user type required for group membership, which is official member. The super administrator, as far as they can climb in the larger area groups, usually national organizations, acts as a human bridge between their micro-group and the larger local and national groups. The same rule applies to all user types of all members of their micro-group (an official organization if it has at least 31 total members of the various user types). Everyone also automatically acts as a human bridge for communication and collaboration in countless activities.

Micro-groups are growing like wildfire.

It is implemented with certain official members, members of the initial microgroup (or official organization) who live in areas outside the center of the microgroup's geographic coordinates (or already designated as an official organization), who request and, if they meet all the requirements, are granted appointment as new official representatives (with the creation of an official representative profile, invisibly linked to their personal official member profile), and authorization to create a new microgroup, with the same previous rules, from our local and national official organizations. In these cases, the new official representative, as an official member of the initial microgroup, will act as a human bridge and will be able to communicate, collaborate, and carry out numerous activities, in a coordinated manner, with neighboring or partially overlapping microgroups and official organizations.

Official organizations (formerly micro-groups): potential, advantages, and benefits.

Creation of groups (including voting groups with the creation of grand electors, one for each type of user with legal voting rights), pages (some of which are public at the right time), events, discussions, blogs, and endless activities , both online and with physical presence in public spaces, or reserved areas.

Creation of groups linked to the official organization (which is still the main group), for the various user types. Obviously, only higher user types, at least the registered user type, with verified and guaranteed identity, have the right to vote officially recognized and binding for the entire system.

At the right time, through the creation of local official groups and organizations, all our local, national, continental, and international structures will be created, also integrating with our already existing official organizations.

At the appropriate time, elections will be held for all the various internal structures, as well as internal election campaigns, with our online primary elections closed, for the selection and nomination of our political representatives, who will participate in external, real-life electoral campaigns to represent DirectDemocracyS in real elections, based on the results obtained on our platforms.

Please note:
The loss of a "user type" as one ascends to the national groups ensures that only people with a solid foundation, concrete experience, and operational humility reach the highest levels.

Meritocratic exception and operational flexibility:
There is, however, a special rule. If a member, and the groups they are part of, earn high points, both individually and as a group, higher-level organizations may decide to accommodate particularly deserving individuals and groups with more flexible arrangements.

In these cases:

• the user type can be maintained , instead of being automatically reduced
• or the member can enter the higher group with a lower initial (entry) typology , which represents the starting point in the new level

Inside the upper group:

• the user typology is not rigid , but meritocratic
• can be increased based on concrete activities, behavior and results achieved

This system guarantees:

• real and verifiable meritocracy
• adaptability to different situations
• controlled autonomy of the groups, which can apply the general rules with slight modifications, always respecting the common good and the fundamental principles of the system
