In my observation, 'corruption' is pretty much universal.  It seems to be a function of being a human in a society larger than a typical hunter/gatherer group, and it makes a lot of sense why this would be the case.

Seems to me that it is 'better' to have the corruption be pushed down to the lowest level possible.  In this case more of the money stays at the local level.  In the U.S. where the corruption lives more at the state, federal, and corporate levels, the 'trickle down' path for the stolen money is so long that little or none of it goes back to the community.  On an individual level most people get all of the mine-shaft and little or none of the mine.


In this case, corruption can be reduced to a minimum level when everyone's self-conscience can perceive and implement such high concepts as the common good, self-improvement, justice. So how to achieve this?

My solution would be a 'social contract' with zero-tolerance and with teeth.  Teeth which look like a 7.62 and a brick wall.

You choose to work for the public, you work for the public good.  Period.  If you cannot stand the heat then stay out of the kitchen.  There is now a ton of technology to spy on people.  It should be keeping tabs on public sector workers or contractors who get paid out of the public coffers (both being a choice people are free to make), and specifically NOT the people who choose to remain in the private sector.  Right now the opposite is the case.



Yes, i think you are right in suggestion the social contract for public figures with much social demand. But no idea will germinate in mind with force as a instrument.

It is necessary to educate everyone's consciousness and respect the individual from childhood. It is necessary to cultivate empathy, emotional intelligence, thinking outside the box, aim to cooperation in everything, independence and at the same time conformity for the common good.

Even at school, you need to immediately teach children that this is the world in which you were born, and here we have the following rules:
We are people, we live in a big commons, so we care each for each other, we vote and participate in the life of society and everyone. Here we respect personal space and do everything both with passion and measure.
The motto is – do everything in measure, so that there is no shame in front of the whole world

Blockchain is a tool that can publicly show the financial activity of everyone. And as soon as ALL payments are shifted to the blockchain, the self-esteem and internal sense of justice of each conscious citizen will tell him in what cases and what amount of payments to accept and make. After all, other conscious citizens can publicly judge you.

Ultimately, the blockchain will help take into account the resources of the entire planet and correctly distribute them over time. Of course, this also requires some kind of global goal like exploring other planets)

Public officials and business only on public blockchain. Private citizens business is none of public's business unless it is subject to public business eg: receipt of taxpayers money in grants or other forms of payments over a certain threshold outside of a citizens tax free allowance for fairness sake  Cool

Agree with you. However, I believe that public and political institutions itself is unlikely to conduct financial activities of in the blockchain. The business sphere will force them to do it by own example.

Commercial companies will be among the firsts who accept this alignment - investors will insist on the implementation of such a tool as on-chain analytics for all the company's cash flows.

But the core problem is another type.
Many companies have already launched on the blockchain, but do not use its key function - the transparency of financial transactions. In fact, they are not transparent and not decentralized, because the income and cash flow of such companies is never publicly available. A few do it publicly - Synthetix is ​​an example of a bona fide company.

There are different projects on the blockchain with different volumes of transactions inside, but no one shows or discloses the inner cash flows. I have not seen that somebody use an explorer program, like bitcoin scaner or ethereum scaner, which would show analytics on all cash flows in real time.

No stablecoin will show you publicly available, transparent statistics on the collateral.
Binance analytics, usdt analytics - where is all the collateral for the stablecoin, where is the analytics for stocks? One report in 5 years is not counted. Make an API to the bank, where you have stocks-as-a-collateral. You do not need to deanon the beneficiaries, just show the stocks flow: here are the deposit of stock for 5 million dollars, and here we mint usdt for this amount.

Show all your CeFi transactions in the dashboard, otherwise you seem to be talking about blockchain and smart contracts, but it turns out to be just words. Such a product already exists, any business can integrate this API and create a public dashboard with all financial flows.

If we are building a new economy, lets do it on a solid basement. So that there are no bubbles on the market, no overstatement of capitalization and no hyperinflation and no hyperemmisson!

Then there will be no economic crises and everyone will be evaluated according to the goodwill index.

Africa as a continent is face with numerous challenges.Africa is endowed with different natural resources raging from crude oil, gold,coal etc.

Africa is the largest and one of the most populated continent in the world.

But where Africa has lost it includes, mismanagement of the scarce resources,low level of industrialization, poor system of education and many more.

In populated continent like Asia and North America, high population is an advantage to them because the population is productive whereas in Africa reverse is the case.

I once heard someone that argued of had a notion to this, on how African became backward to civilization despite the fact that, it showed a promising start to it. The notion on this was, as fir most of us that believes in the divine #God, he said ' it would have been so wrong should Africa has been given much knowledge to manage her affairs and that, Africa was meant to have all these resources and then have the men without colour of other continents be saddles with the wisdom to its transformation'. All that just to ensure they exist together in a delicate balance.  To have international relations and sharing of materials both human and natural resources.  To attain this, Africa became richly blessed with corrupt leaders that despite its multi resources, we are unable to do anything good out of it for everyone buy tends to always put ourselves first before everyone. Thats so wrong!

Corruption is a means to an end whereby the corrupted can be manipulated at will and removed from office easily anytime they become uncooperative. It is those who corrupt and bribe the corruptible one should set their attention upon  Cool #seduceanddestroy

Is a present to a surger from whom depends your life a corruption? I think, no.
But wide spread corruption is not normal, it shows the rotten of the society structure

Africa has never taken control of its own country's destiny, and they do not care about losing anything. State power is also a representative of the interests of other developed countries.

Many foreign countries have even today a strong influence in Africa. There are many natural resources which companies and countries try to get their hands on. 100 years ago the Western countries were the dominate countries, today it seems that China is taking over that control. The high level of corruption in Africa makes them very vulnerable for foreign influence with deep pockets.

I would say that China is able to penetrate the African market, because they are able to offer much better deals for the African people. The Western powers have been pillaging Africa ever since they established the colonies. Colonial powers such as France and the Great Britain have imposed regime changes and military coups, whenever an African leader would challenge their supremacy. Some of the best leaders Africa ever produced, such as Thomas Sankara and Patrice Lumumba were killed by the colonial powers. In many of the African nations, the first major infrastructural projects started only when the Chinese started investing. Westerners were looting the resources without giving back anything. China on the other hand gives back at least 10% of what they are looting.

in my mind, blockchain and its trustworthy usage can help in fair distribution of Africa resources to African people. The problem is not the foreign takeover of the market, but the wide spread of corruption everywhere

Africa is one of the ancient motherlands of human civilization.

Agriculture was already invented in East Africa in 16 millenium BC,
The rise of Africa was in 3000 BC, during the heyday of Ancient Egypt.

The history of our planet and human civilisations is circled, therefore maybe in the next millennium Africa, especially central Africa, will be great again.

What is civilization? It is traditions, architecture, literature, science inventions, moral code and some national core that unite people for a thousand year in one commonality.

Today the social movement of BLM is hypertrophied and fulfilling base instincts and seems not to reach the goal of Make Africa Great Again.

For hundreds of years, Africa has been controlled by some world big countries, such as mines, petroleum, communication stations, and so on. The people have been slaved. Even today, in Africa, the leaders of African countries are puppets. There is no hope in Africa.

Because Africa is full of corrupt leaders, because they do not depend on themselves but on other Continents. See the giant of Africa (Nigeria) that is lacking a lot behind, see the white Africans (North Africa) not capable of latest technologies again. All Africa people know is themselves and their families (nepotism), they do not careful about others (whites and many other countries do care about others). Our leaders that were there when Colonial Masters left the countries that became independent caused what is happening. The so called South Africa is better because the Apartheid makes the whites to mix with blacks, leading the nations to a greater level, that is why they still have the best economy in Africa.

The Continent (Africa) has good agricultural products, plenty mineral resources, what left is for them to use brain to set up countries that will be standard, but they are not capable. This has just being the beggining, if care is not taken, Africa will remain like this and become even more worse.

Africa countries are not capable to make phone products, computer, automobiles and the likes, they lack in technology. Can you even point out any successful coin made by Africa? For any of the Africa country to even get a local board on this forum is a problem. We need to think about the future, correct the mistakes of the past, depends more on our effort, then we will rise.

In Africa, their presidents and governors or anyone on official governmental seat will go abroad (outside Africa) for medical treatment, is that happening in other Continents? No. They are making their homes shit for their generations to come, the rich ones have their children green card abroad, some were even given birth to in abroad, and come back to Africa. These mentalities we are having in Africa has made Africa like this.

I see the work rested on the governments, but governments that its official sick and fly him abroad for treatment, is that the governments that are ready to help? They are just the governments that depends on importation because all they are using are imported, making life miserable for the citizens. With what I am seeing, I do not think any solution is coming soon, unless the young Africans do not be like their father that are there presently, but do you think they will not be like their father and yet make Africa not going forward.

all leaders where corrupt throughout human history kingdomes where often like private corporations fighting each other over income capacities  (gold etc.)
and even if you have a corruption free regime (like Ivan the terrible) it still will suffer from inefficiencies, ill decisions, but worst of all, corruptionfreedom will result in a cruel absolutistic ruler.

Africa was raped and pillaged by colonial powers. It's peoples subjugated and their resources "reallocated" while corrupt tyrants who could be steered with any bribe implanted after the colonial hoards retreated. Just take a look at what happened in Ireland which is white western europe and imagine what they would have done to those "different" folk in the "dark continent".

The world is ran by plutocrats/Kleptocrats no matter what form it takes or under what label.

This post copied from a different thread and associated with the covid scamdemic.  I think it shows in pretty plain terms what one class of problem which vexes African nations are.  Namely that the leaders are themselves slaves.

Not that every nation on earth doesn't have more or less the same problem, but because more genuine leaders are allowed to slip through the cracks in Africa, the phenomenon is more brutally visible for all to see:

......these gentlemen thought it was a scam too and the mother of all coincidences followed a few weeks later  Wink



What would be cool would be if the people of these nations just decided to celebrate these men as national heroes who gave their lives in the fight against the globalists for their citizen's rights, freedoms and indeed, their very existence.  The people could just have a remembrance day whenever they feel like it.

I bet you that such a thing would drive the United Nations / World Bank sponsored replacements who where plunked in absolutely crazy.  It would be interesting to see what the reaction of these puppets would be.  I bet it would quickly become live-fire, and I really don't like to see that against the plebs even when it does help achieve political objectives.
