Proactive Crowdfunding
= solidarity-based defense against Cancel Culture attacks and Deplatforming
Contextual Quote
"We have to invert and counter the incentive structure ruining our institutions and society. They have a top-down system that punishes noble behavior for the sake of preserving the institutions at the expense of the civilization; we must make a bottom-up system that neutralizes those punishments and rewards noble behavior for the sake of preserving civilization at the expense of the institutions. Hyper-novelty requires hyper-adaptation."
- Harry Bergeron [1]
Description
"Proactive crowdfunding works differently than conventional (or “responsive”) crowdfunding. Instead of a direct, immediate transfer of funds from donors to recipients, this is a pledge to donate only if a scenario occurs that has already been articulated by the pledge recipients and agreed upon by anyone who decides to pledge ahead of time. Should this scenario come to pass, the pledge recipient activates their pledge pool and the funds contained therein are transferred."
