If we're going to base our democracy on a digital platform surely it would make sense to at least host everything bar the front facing access site in a private cloud which can be properly controlled against general intrusion. Another easy win is access validation- if the Asgardian government becomes recognised as a certifying authority we could issue legally recognised digital signatures to all citizens which would be a massive leap ahead if we do this as a society rather than leaving it to a commercial body to profit from our requirement to be able to prove identity in the noosphere. Anyone got experience working with digital certs?

How  do you factor global warming and the decrease of the earth’s drinkable  water supply into your development of ocean colonies and in what ways  will such colonies contribute to the current environmental issues the  world faces?

The  Ocean Colonies will address both these issues head on...  The numbers  below are from a single operating ocean colony, I envision tens of  thousands of these colonies.

A. ) to counter the energy problem, we would employ OTEC's, as the  heart of the colonies can produce more power than the colonies can use,  through a clean and green process. The extra energy created can be  stored in large power cells that can be transported to municipal or  nation customers on an exchange basis. That's straight electrical power  from the turbine. The other energy byproduct of the OTEC is the  production of 66,000,000 cubic ft of hydrogen PER DAY!

B.) The OTEC will also produce distilled water, once again what is  not used by the colonies could be transported to those in need.  Estimated at 175,000,000 gallons per day.

C.)Food - each Ocean Colony would produce an estimated 400 tons of protein (in the form of Spirulina) per day!

The Spirulina grown will have the effect of acting as a sponge  pulling CO2 out of the air. This will not seem like a lot considering  the vast amount of atmosphere that needs to be cleansed to reverse  global warming but imagine 1000's of these colonies wrapping the  equatorial belt of the earth all acting as a CO2 sponge.

Cultivating all this blue-green algae, Spirulina will have the added  side effect of pulling CO2 out of the atmosphere. Bluegreen Algae is 20  percent Carbon by weight so a colony producing over 800,000 tons of  dried Spirulina each year will remove 600,000 tons of CO2 from the  atmosphere each year. To counter water vapor (another and much more  abundant greenhouse gas) The colonies will cool the equatorial belt with  the water pumped up from the ocean's depths. Keeping the Ocean temps  below the runaway threshold of 80.6F/27C (this is average ocean temps  not average equatorial temps) To see Climate change in reverse would  take an estimated 15,000 Colonies operating.

Hi,

A mod stopped comments on an Alien thread, and scheduled it for removal.
Said that should contact a group admin -- which presumably he is.
However this forum doesn't seem to have any kind of private-message feature.
So I'm posting here.

He then accused it of being a conspiracy theory and linked to the code of conduct. However the code of conduct makes no mention of conspiracy theories, aliens, or controversial topics.

In fact, I don't believe it to be a conspiracy theory at all, considering the Russian prime minister went ahead and admitted there are aliens, and their number is so great that it might cause a panic if he was to disclose the number:

(By the way, Men in Black that he refers to is a Russian Documentary, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR014_jY7po )

There are vast amounts of pictures, videos, and reports of Gray Aliens (among others), so to deny all that evidence, would be the same as denying that the Earth is round. Sure you can't see the Earth is round when your standing on the ground (unless you know what to look for), but there is plenty of evidence that it is.
Of course, I am completely willing to continue the thread under the premise that it is hypothetically and not necessarily true.

So for instance if at least some of the evidence was indeed legitimate, or a similar situation may arise, it is would still be highly useful to have talked about what our policy is regarding aliens.  Particularly those kinds of aliens which we have large amounts of evidence for -- even if some people disagree with its veracity, as they disagree with climate change.

I hope that this was simply perhaps an overzealous application of moderation privileges, I know there is often an ebb and flow, and it is good to find a proper balance.  I hope you choose that yes, aliens are a valid topic for the Space Nation of Asgardia.

Article 4 in the Declaration of Unity does not mention sexual orientation, which I feel is important to include, even if it might be assumed under another category.  Is there any way we can adjust the Declaration of Unity to include this, as well as make sure it is included in any other area where relevant?
