To reduce the amount of [[Externalities|externality]] minimisation required it would be best to start from a point where most of this is done already. For instance starting a coal mining firm would not be the best place to start as it creates a large amount of externalities, CO2, emissions, biodiversity loss etc... So lowest impact... 100% autonomous system would be preferable. A [[Decentralized Autonomous Organization]] (DAO) would be perfect however as of yet the technology only allows for semi autonomous organisations. | To reduce the amount of [[Externalities|externality]] minimisation required it would be best to start from a point where most of this is done already.

Revision as of 01:56, 6 July 2022
Following the tenet, the idea for an initial business which meets all of the requirements is difficult. Most notably the first two laws:
- First Law - the company is For Externality Minimisation
- Second Law - the corporation may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.
To reduce the amount of externality minimisation required it would be best to start from a point where most of this is done already. For instance starting a coal mining firm would not be the best place to start as it creates a large amount of externalities, CO2, emissions, biodiversity loss etc... So lowest impact... 100% autonomous system would be preferable. A Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) would be perfect however as of yet the technology only allows for semi autonomous organisations.
Active Commissions
Works are pending contracts in place which anyone can apply to do.
1 - Twitter Connection
For transparency and the creation of an uneditable, third party maintained log of updates to this wiki. We have commissioned the creation of a Twitter bot which sends a tweet everytime the main update page updates. This is scheduled for completion at the end of July.
2 - Reference Weighting
Applications such as Obsidian or Logseq give the ability to graphically represent data point similar to this System graph. A commision has been granted for the creation of a mediawiki plugin to allow access to a rendering of related topics with associated weighting.
Submissions
Submissions are ideas which have been generated by the Subreddit community for proposed businesses that comply with the tenets. So far these include.
1 - Renewable Hosting
BurnZero is hosted on a industry standard server meaning it is more than likely powered by coal. The first action to address therefore would be to minimise the externality caused by the server by using a renewable energy source.
2 - Sea Water Conversion
Sea water, conversion to clean water. Using parabolic mirrors to condense light onto thermo/photovoltaic[1] cells which generate electricity to power no-filter[2] water filtration units.
3 - Tool Rental
A communally shared, low use / duration tools rental service which provides saws and axel grinders to people in an area.
4 - Data Centre Heat
Turn the heat produced by a data centre into heating for a house or even a city[3].
5 - Solar
Build an ap like https://www.legends.solar/ where the recycling cost of the solar panel is factored into the rebate made.
