Participate

You must register to lay eggs and vote. Registering is easy and requires just a username and a valid email address. Click the "Register" link in the top right of the page. I WILL NEVER SHARE YOUR INFORMATION WITH ANYONE!

1. Vote: You can vote for any egg you like. You can vote for both incubating and hatched eggs. You can only vote for an egg once.

2. Lay an Egg (optional): If you feel inspired, just click on the "Lay an Egg" button and submit your idea (egg). When you lay an egg it is immediatly viewable on the "Hatched Eggs" page. Any member can vote on any incubating egg. You are limited to one vote per egg.

3. Nurture eggs (Advanced users only): Take an idea and make it a reality! Send me your story and I'll post it on the site!

The Site Structure

1. Fresh Eggs Page: These are eggs submitted my registered members. Once a fresh egg receives 3 votes, it moves to the front page and is called "Hatched."

2. Hatched Eggs Page: These are eggs shown on the front page. They have received 3 or more votes while "incubating" on the Fresh Eggs Page.

What's with the Categories?

Coming up with a category system was one of the most challenging things about making this site! Most systems ended up with categories that were too narrow which meant most ideas could go in multiple categories. The other problem was avoiding being too vague or potentially leaving out a large segment of ideas. Also, since it is impossible to predict what kind of ideas will be submitted, it is very difficult to settle with specific categories.

In the end I realized that all ideas benefit someone, and I think asking the question "Who benefits from the egg?" can be answered by either "The world," "society," "individuals," or "business." I fully realize that the system is not perfect. If you can think of a better way to concisely organize ideas, I would love to hear it!

What are tags?

Tags are words that represent a longer text. For example, if I wrote a 3 paragraph story about the impossibility of time travel, I might use the tags "time, travel, space, science, philosophy." These words would be tagged on to my story so if someone searches for "space", then the story would be in the results. Tags are generally considered more useful and more flexible that categories because a subject rarely fits neatly into just one category.

Please use tags when you submit a story! In the long run, having great tags will make your story much easier to find on the site!

Tags are also a better way to classify your egg than categories are. As you will no doubt notice, putting your egg in a category is much more difficult than finding a few tags for your egg!

Providing an Innately Stable and Representative Democracy
Go to the following link for a proposal supporting elected ethical oversight of United States political representatives. You can make a difference, copy and paste that proposal to your representatives, here in the United States, and in the country that you live.

We all want our Governments to make informed and intelligent decisions that reflect the desires of all its citizens.

To stop the SS style police actions and to promote trust between citizens of a country, create non-partisan control over that country’s National Security Agency (NSA) for data collection, assessment, and directives.

To provide elected representation by certified highly ethical doctors and non-partisan control over that country’s human rights, freedoms, and security, elect "Oversight of NSA Ethics committee" (ONE) delegates; they represent ethical evaluation.

The term "ONE" is used here to represent the people thinking as one.

In addition to Congress and the Senate, the ONE delegates provide a tertiary and complementary system of representation, with each representative political party having unique assets and control mechanisms. The combination of focused representation for business, the people, and ethics makes the system innately representative and stable.

Businesses will continue to sponsor individual Senators and Congressmen, however, all money contributed to ONE delegates shall go into a common fund to promote all potential ONE candidates equally.

Because this large representative body of individuals will act as a covert, but highly trained publicly elected governing body, this will allow the NSA to continue data collection without warrant, and without restriction; thereby both maximizing the Freedoms and maximizing Security of all individuals in those societies.

Presently, special interests make Security and Freedom mutually incompatible. Many countries live in a police state where the individual has no recognized rights. To take into account all perspectives to maximize both Freedom and Security requires much more information than a single person can amass, and assessment that would take a person many lifetimes to be just.

But critical information and dangerous conditions occur each day, often at the same time. Automated systems presently collect and process information at great speeds, but a large group of persons extensively trained in ethical reasoning needs to create the "computer-based automated keys" (Directives) for unlocking relationships related to promoting BOTH Freedoms and Security. By promoting this intrinsically stable system, Security and Freedom are independently promoted.

Because of the necessity for the NSA to be shielded from direct public scrutiny, a large ethical group of State elected ONE delegates shall dedicate their resources for the preservation of that country’s Freedoms while creating and defining rules by which the NSA can collect, assess, and create directives to provide for that country’s Security. Though Congress and the Senate will still control the military, make the laws, and control the economy, they will have a tremendous resource for evaluating the long term consequences of their proposed actions.

This allows Congress and the Senate to focus more on the economy for that country and provide for a successful business environment.

Please instate a comprehensive "Oversight of NSA Ethics committee (ONE)" to govern NSA data collection systems as outlined below, in all countries everywhere.
