Eden DAO Origins: The Revolutionary Idea of More Equal Animals

"More Equal Animals" is a book written by the creator of the EOS blockchain, Daniel Larimer, that proposes a new social and economic system based on decentralized decision-making and voluntary cooperation, enabled by blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies.

The book also alludes to the concept of decentralized autonomous communities (DACs), which are essentially decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) that are run by their members through blockchain technology. The Eden on EOS community is one such example of a DAC/DAO that has been inspired by Larimer's book More Equal Animals.

This article will discuss the key ideas presented in the book and analyze how they relate to the Eden on EOS decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). Referencing the book in order to point out the resemblance to how Eden on EOS is building an equal, transparent, and more efficient form of governance.

Decentralized decision-making

“More Equal Animals” argues that centralized control, whether in the form of governments, corporations, or other centralized entities, leads to inefficiencies and inequality. Instead, he proposes a decentralized system, where decision-making power is distributed among individuals or small groups, which can lead to better outcomes. He argues that decentralized systems enable individuals to make decisions based on their own knowledge and expertise, rather than relying on a centralized authority.

The Eden on EOS community is a prime example of decentralized decision-making in action. The community is made up of individuals who have come together voluntarily to form a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). In this community, decisions are made by the members, who vote on proposals submitted by other members.

This decentralized decision-making model ensures that the community's decisions are made by those who have the most knowledge and expertise on a given topic. This leads to better decision-making and more efficient use of resources.

Voluntary cooperation

The Eden on EOS community believes that voluntary cooperation is essential for a more equal and prosperous society. In a decentralized system, individuals are free to make their own decisions and cooperate voluntarily with each other, without the need for intermediaries or centralized authorities.

Thus the Eden on EOS community upholds this value by allowing individuals to join the community voluntarily and contribute to the community as they see fit. Members are encouraged to work together on projects and initiatives that benefit the community as a whole, but there is no coercion or force involved.

Furthermore, the community's decision-making process ensures that proposals are only accepted if they are in the best interests of the community as a whole. This ensures that the community's resources are being used in the most efficient and effective way possible.

Individual sovereignty

“More Equal Animals” proposed a new social contract, based on individual sovereignty and private property rights, as the basis for a more prosperous and peaceful society. Under this new social contract, individuals would be responsible for their own decisions and would be free to cooperate with each other as they see fit. The role of government would be limited to protecting individual rights and ensuring that contracts are enforced.

The Eden on EOS community takes a practical approach to this value by allowing individuals to own and control their own assets within the community. Members are free to create and manage their own projects and initiatives, and they retain full ownership and control over those projects.

Furthermore, the community's decision-making process ensures that individual sovereignty is upheld. Proposals are only accepted if they do not infringe on the individual rights of other members of the community.

Blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies

The Eden on EOS community also believes that blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies have the potential to enable a new era of decentralized decision-making and voluntary cooperation. Blockchain technology enables secure, transparent, and decentralized record-keeping, which can be used to track ownership of assets and facilitate transactions without the need for intermediaries.

That is why the Eden on EOS DAO is built on the EOS blockchain, which provides the community with the necessary infrastructure to operate in a decentralized and secure manner. The blockchain ensures that all transactions and decisions are recorded immutably, and it provides a high level of security and transparency for the organization.

Furthermore, the community's use of cryptocurrencies, such as EOS, ensures that transactions can be conducted without the need for intermediaries or centralized authorities. This enables members to transact freely with each other, without the risk of censorship or seizure.

The implications for society

The ideas presented in "More Equal Animals" have several potential implications for society. If implemented, they could lead to a more efficient, innovative and prosperous society, where individuals have greater control over their own lives and are free to cooperate with each other as they see fit. The following are some of the potential implications Eden on EOS could have on society:

• More Efficient and Innovative Systems: Decentralized decision-making and voluntary cooperation can lead to more efficient and innovative systems, as individuals are free to use their own knowledge and expertise to make decisions and work together. This can lead to greater productivity, as well as more innovative solutions to complex problems.

The Eden on EOS DAO highlights this very well. Its community of members is able to make decisions quickly and efficiently, without the need for intermediaries or centralized authorities. Members are free to propose and work on projects that interest them, leading to a more innovative and diverse set of initiatives.

• Greater Individual Freedom: The Eden on EOS community adopts the ideas that are based on the principle of individual sovereignty and private property rights, which can lead to greater individual freedom. In a decentralized system, individuals have greater control over their own lives and are free to make their own decisions, again without the need for centralized authorities.

Eden on EOS continues to uphold this value as a pillar that also guides its community by allowing members to own and control their own assets within the community. As mentioned earlier, members are free to create and manage their own projects and initiatives, and they retain full ownership and control over those projects.

• More Equality: Decentralized decision-making and voluntary cooperation can also lead to greater equality. In a centralized system, decision-making power is often concentrated in the hands of a few, leading to inequality and inefficiencies. Decentralized decision-making can help to distribute power more evenly, leading to a more equal society.

The Eden on EOS community upholds this value by ensuring that all members have an equal say in the community's decision-making process. Proposals are only accepted if they are in the best interests of the community as a whole, ensuring that resources are being used in the most efficient and effective way possible.

• Greater Transparency: Blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies can also lead to greater transparency, as all transactions and decisions are recorded immutably on the public ledger. This can help to prevent fraud and corruption, and ensure that resources are being used in the most efficient ways to benefit all members.

The Eden on EOS community is built on the EOS blockchain, which provides a high level of transparency and security. All transactions and decisions are recorded immutably on the blockchain, ensuring that members can trust the integrity of the community's decision-making process.

In conclusion

"More Equal Animals" proposes a new social and economic system based on decentralized decision-making, voluntary cooperation, individual sovereignty, and blockchain technology. The Eden on EOS community is a great example of these ideas in action.

If implemented and adopted more widely, these ideas would lead to a more efficient, innovative, and prosperous society, where individuals have greater control over their own lives and are free to cooperate with each other as they see fit. They could also lead to greater equality, transparency, and individual freedom.

The bigger the Eden on EOS community gets, then the more impact it will have as it reaches out to many societies around the world. It has the potential to teach global leaders about more effective ways to govern an organization or country. It also has the potential of making future global leaders of its members.

As such, these ideas are worthy of further exploration and consideration, and Eden on EOS is the perfect vehicle on which to explore them.
