They are impersonal, systemic, & unresponsive to the actions of most individuals leaving us all feeling increasingly powerless over our destinies.nWhat if it didnt have to be this way?nDrawing from Game Theory & Behavioral Economics concepts, ordinary people CAN rediscover their power to defeat stubborn coordination & collective action problems.nThe platform being developed to address this challenge is called Spartacus.app.nSpartacus.app uses Assurance Contracts combined with temporary anonymity to enable collective action campaigns that reduce each participants risk & cost & maximize their expected value & safety.
