Human trust - the missing upgrade for our democracy | Liliana Carrillo | TEDxAntwerp |
|
Via this talk, Liliana Carrillo inspires us to make use of our trust to transform the current democratic system into a more dynamic one.
Liliana invites us to trust our decision making power, our vote, the people closer to us like our friends, relatives, colleagues, and so she introduces the concept of liquid democracy where we become owners of our vote and we can decide directly and constantly on the topics that affect us if we want it, or we can delegate our vote to people who we trust so they can decide for us on these topics. If we want it, we can delegate our vote to traditional politicians too but this is not anymore completely needed. We can trust our decisions to people with deep knowledge on the specific topics that concern us. Liliana represents the Democracy.Earth foundation and as its Ambassador she presents Sovereign, its blockchain application based on liquid democracy. She invites people to visit the website of the foundation and test the Sovereign tool, and also to share its mission, the creation of a global borderless democracy to facilitate the debate related to global challenges like global warming, and poverty. Liliana dreams of upgrading our democracy to the next level, and creating it as a collective and dynamic decision process, a collective intelligence. Liliana Carrillo is a social and digital entrepreneur, with several master diplomas in computer science, artificial intelligence, and business. Liliana has lived in 4 different countries, speaks 5 languages, and loves travelling and getting to know new people and cultures. Liliana is a curious and creative lifelong learner, eager to learn, passionate about several topics related to humans and technology.
