So I've spent a bit of time over the past few years trying to reason my way trough society breaking away from our capitalist overlords.

Let me try to summarize some of my thinking as simply as possible; you start a second economy, one founded using Blockchain technologies and algocracy, with an utter focus on human welfare and ensuring resistance to tampering and unjust accumulation of power and wealth. You siphon the global population over to this new economy effectively stifling the old economy where the totality of the 1%'s wealth resides and is therefore rendered worthless.

The above is by no means a complete summary and there are a bunch of other concepts loosely associated with this such as environmental sustainability, transhumanism, degrowth, fostering small communities etc.

I've written about DACs, one of the components of the above here: https://sturlabragason.github.io/blog/2023/07/04/Decentralized-Autonomous-Communities.html

Yeah I agree with, the essence is how the technology is used. There exist currently better ways technologically to achieve this. My point isn't entirely to change decision making by making the data available to the public. Every modern politician and is absolutely shameless and hides in plain sight so any exposure wouldn't do a damn thing.

I am more about using algocracy to replace as much as we can of government and decision making, continually improving the process and then conviction voting as another layer.

I think you have some very good ideas. I had been on a similar line of thinking a couple years back. I think the thing that gave me pause was that I became more wary of technology in general, and humanity's ability to master it and make it a force for good. Nonetheless, we don't really have too much choice, if we refuse to use technology we consign ourselves to extinction.

I look forward to discussing these topics further, but I don't feel I have fully marshaled my own thoughts at this stage. I expect to remain on Lemmy until the end, so we will have plenty of time to talk.
