# bring

more people into easypeasy

this is mostly distributed communities, like discord servers and such.

## consider these

- your personal influence and reach within online spaces
	- discord servers that you're part of (self improvement, success, or even ones not traditionally against porn)
	- spaces that you moderate and could easily propose partnering with
	- spaces where you have sway with admins, or they're reachable to propose signal boosting
- the influence of people you know, and how you might help them
- people you follow with large communities.

## actions

1. change your discord status
2. reach out to admins and people with sway
3. discuss pornography and say how surprisingly good being free feels
4. find more spaces where you can encourage easypeasy to be promoted
5. get admins on board using your [[easypeasy/with/passport]].


## looping

you can reach out to different online communities and make them aware of easypeasy, and adapt and work together on using their community to make a difference

for instance, reaching out to different content creators communities means meeting with the person in charge and getting them on board with discussing a normalised addiction. the creator might have already done so.
however, it's about giving their community purpose and vibing together, and the creator might find that cool too



# outside


since the best thing you can do with your computer is turning it off -- sorry.
find where people are around the world and get them together working on [[_organisation/roles/influencing|influencing]] within their [[_archive/_project/local|local]] communities

## consider these

- different organisations in your local community that would find easypeasy useful
- the problems facing your local community in general
- different initiatives that people here, and peaceful foundation is doing that could help the world.

## actions

1. finding people who could signal boost easypeasy in your local community
2. meeting other active citizens and bringing them together
3. running a meetup in a local space to bring communities together
4. adapting a peaceful foundation initiative so that it works for your local community
5. considering what people in your local community are wanting.


## looping

you want to inspire people to create local groups for the other peaceful foundation projects, whilst getting experience doing so yourself in your local communities.
you can do online stuff everywhere else here, but it's important we're making a real difference on the world -- nothing else works.



# together

create things for working together online


## consider these

- the many different different people we want to reach out to (churches, mosques, addiction recovery groups, subject matter experts)
- the most effective ways of reaching out to them, such as to interfaith groups
- making the process of reaching out to people fun, and showing clear progress being made.


## actions

1. spreadsheets and discord bots to easily show people what they can do, and our overall progress
2. bringing people in similar locations together to solve problems
3. collating easy to understand metrics for different issues (poverty, addiction, homelessness) in their local communities
4. providing active citizens easy to understand plans to solve these problems
5. making tackling these challenges as smooth as possible




## looping

the key thing is making sure that people are making measurable change.
for each issue, make people aware of a "god metric" like the actual number of people experiencing homelessless, and get people focussed on the issue to put it on the wall.

for example, my metric for easypeasy is "number of sexual assault cases" -- because desexualising a society will make this number go down.
if I focussed on pageviews or something like that, I'm not building my metric around actual change.

so, your job is to find all the problems in the world and find ways of measuring them into a single metric.



# country

regional accounts for easypeasy

## consider these

- how might the campaign be tailored to people where you are
- influencers who are receptive or already speaking out against porn
- things that are unique about the place you live, and that people find interesting.

## actions

1. checking if there's an account for your country, then working with or creating one together
2. adding your easypeasy passport to the account
3. creating a strategy to peacefully reach people in your country
4. experimenting with different types of content and resonating
5. finding people who'd be keen signal boosting free and helpful resources.

## looping

we're tailoring social media strategies to different cultures directly. lots of stuff will overlap, but it's about creating peaceful things that people can resonate with, and because people are different in different places, there's a lot of different opportunities to be creative with it.

we want to unite people, and this mostly involves staying neutral and non-political. however, you can find many ways of tailoring things to your own country, like regional memes, but not making fun of people directly -- eternally funny things is the way

there's heaps of ways to play around with that, like locations or history, or a bunch of things I haven't considered, and just not taking yourself too seriously. we want to have fun with it, and get everyone involved in a non-stigmatising way



# culture

understanding cultures and inspiring change


## consider these

- celebrities
- influencers
- journalists
- [[not for profit organisations]]
- examples of people speaking out against pornography
and infinitely more.

## actions

1. creating customised approaches for bringing people onboard and inspiring their audience
2. considering relevant events to bring media attention to a stigmatised issue
3. finding celebrities who could speak out against porn whilst mass action is occuring, and considering how to market it to them
4. finding influencers on a country or regional basis, and figuring out how to market it to them
5. customising approaches for outreach to not for profit organisations

## looping

there's a bunch of different projects, so consider the wide range of peaceful foundation initiatives that different demographics of your country would be interested in.
from there, you need to consider the most effective ways of reaching out to them.

for instance, the most effective way of reaching out to all the churches in a country is probably the head of the religious organisation, but the same thing applies for reaching out to any 'tree diagram' organisation.
but you want to consider both a bottom up, and a top down way of approaching the issue.

when I say understanding a culture, we need to unite a bunch of people (university students, school students, religious leaders, elderly people, and many others) for common goals against pornography, and then later, easy ways of improving the world around them -- a culture, so your approach will look different depending on stigma and how your society achieves cohesion generally.



# kewl

decentralised easypeasy accounts for occasional and not occasional posting.

## consider these

- specific demographics that are directly and indirectly impacted by porn
- ways of crafting messages that can help people in those demographics
- approaches that get people involved to share the message onwards

## actions

1. making a social media account for a specific demographic
2. linking your easypeasy passport to the account
3. interacting with people in the subset that you're working with
4. creating pleasant and calm content that fits with our vibe
5. sharing your content in a way that people enjoy it.

## looping

decentralised easypeasy accounts for occasional and not occasional posting; they're for if you don't have enough time to run a full social media account, but are still happy chucking things at the wall to see what sticks

they're called [[kewlcounts]] because social media is cringe and this campaign isn't about socials. we want to drive local social impact, and social media is a rapid way of creating awareness, but this rarely creates actual social change.

as such, you could create a easypeasy and peaceful foundation social media account for your local community, or a hobby you're into, or a demographic you seek to serve; it helps if you're part of it already, too.


# allocate

people to different tasks

## consider these

- the projects we're currently focussing on
- what each person loves doing
- identifying where new tasks or projects could make a difference

## actions

1. chatting with people to understand their strengths and what they enjoy
2. creating tasks or missions that align with both the project's needs and people's passions
3. matching folks with tasks or projects where they can shine
4. making sure everyone knows how their work fits into the bigger picture
5. adjusting assignments and crafting new tasks as things change and projects evolve

## looping

when someone arrives in the discord, we want to give them generalised instructions but also allocate an individualised task to them. your job is allocating tasks, and finding new tasks for people and roles to do, that can work with intersecting people and projects.

peaceful foundation is intentionally flat because that's how communities in real life should be, you should arrive and someone should meet you, and introduce you to someone who you might get along well with

we can do this using gpt to connect people who are working on different things. everyone should have a one line description of what they can do, and then we can connect them to different people.



# intersect

consider everyone on the project and combine their skills together effectively

## consider these

- the different projects we're working on
- having the least amount of overhead and friction possible
- using automatic systems when possible so that everyone knows what to do.

## actions

1. looking upon this little chart and consider how a group of people could work together with another group on a new initiative that would make the world a better place, giving each person a little mission
2. making sure that everyone who wants a task, gets one -- which adapts to where we are in the project
3. creating tasks and little challenges to direct people into making an impact, mainly locally and socially
4. making sure that everyone has a friend or an in-point into the organisation


## looping

there's people with different skills, in different places around the world -- your goal is helping them to intersect both online and locally, in different skillsets.

there's many different tasks making small teams work on an aspect of the project, but you need to make sure that if you're going to create a team that the approach you're taking actually makes one of the [[research]] metrics move.

our organisation is intentionally completely flat. the ideal thing is that people introduce people to other people, and that people make friends -- just like a normal community. you should orchestrate organisers to cultivate groups of people to work on different tasks



# sort

Everyone arriving should be doing something they find purposeful and fun.


## consider these

- projects that peaceful foundation is working on
- what brings people joy in doing
- how much time people have to commit.

## actions

1. Chatting with people in the welcome channel and get to know then
2. Introducing people to other people in the organisation
3. Getting people involved in their local communities

## looping

there's no shortage of people arriving to help, and we don't want them to be confused on how they can.
also, we want to make sure that people are going outside and feeling sunshine instead of just spending time online. we're breaking the habits that an addiction and formed in its wake.

so when someone arrives, you want to make sure they're impacting the world around them in a positive way, and if they have specialised skills, or interest in helping, clear direction in making this so.

what it will probably look like is welcome teams and introducing people, and as an auxiliary, being part of another team working on something



# build

impactful software projects, one task at a time

## consider these

- small contributions add up
- clear and focussed tasks fit into busy schedules
- collaborating creates better ideas

## actions

1. Choosing tasks or issues that match your skills from the [[task list]]
2. Implementing features or fixes following the [[contribution guidelines]]
3. Submitting concise and well-documented merge requests
4. Communicating openly with the team for clarifications and feedback
5. Leveraging available tools and resources to work efficiently

## looping

you contributing drives the project forward. as you're building tools, you have the best outline of what can be done to make the project better, so feedback on it should be open.

be careful of features creeping in though, we want things to be as simple as possible and ideally static. for things with user submitted data through pull requests, we want people to be able to get a overall feel for how the project works, even if they're not from a technical background.

for instance, a recipe book should be written in markdown, and people should be taught how to make merge requests, which acts as a natural barrier, but also makes it simple for more people to contribute



# design

elegant software to solve widespread social problems, together


## consider these

- friction within any process that we're doing
- does the process actually need to take place, or are we just creating busywork?
- what are the most effective processes to create the most social impact?

## actions

1. designing and developing elegant software to solve problems we're facing; see [[programming]]
2. reducing roadblocks and increasing clarity automatically
3. looking at the [[intersect]] of different people working together, and helping them work more effectively
4. write specifications for elegantly simple software
5. design pleasant and incredibly simple user interfaces

## looping

many people want to make the world a better place, and your goal is making doing that as easy as possible.
it doesn't have to look pretty -- and this also keeps it authentic -- though we can make it so sometimes, but the process of creating impact should be as simple as possible.

it's the intersects: someone on this chart could work with someone else to create something beautiful, and your job is to design (and also, create) the tools that allow them to do it.

your job is the responsibility of noticing and thinking of what people can do using technology; there's a lot of people, processes, and local problems to be worked on, and that can bring people together, and this works best when the problems are simple.



# make

great software to coordinate millions of people

## consider these

- simple software always works best
- people will happily use something without polish if they believe in a mission
- reproducibility to bring people together.

## actions

1. designing software actively through using your experiences developing it
2. collaborating effectively with other people, being open-minded to others' opinions
3. pushing changes clearly in smaller merge requests
4. creating small teams of people for slightly larger changes
5. working autonomously to reduce thought load.

## looping

we're mainly focussing on releasing software using an agile mindset; it's easy to get lost in the details, but we're creating software that helps people to coordinate broadly and simply.

focus on the minimal viable product to coordinate people together. this can be using normal websites, or another can be using urbit micro apps. where possible, initially, recycle open source tools that can be applied for our purposes, and recognise their essence -- how might we make this simpler?

we need things that people immediately recognise how to use, and that are extremely scalable both locally and globally



# consider

different pieces of research and apply them

## consider these

- Approaches from different fields to build complete pictures
- Gaps in current understanding that need more exploration
- Practical uses for different research findings

## actions

1. Performing informal literature reviews and consider existing solutions
2. Discussing how to scale effective solutions using local action
3. Identifying key research areas that can impact different initiatives
4. Summarising findings in simple language for everyone to understand
5. Sharing insights with the team to help guide strategies.

## looping

Keep a radically open mind and connect different fields and projects together. We're doing something unique, and we can't get there from an ideology -- we're inspiring local action that can be adapted for different cultures and situations all over the world.

How might different demographics get involved?

This opens up a bunch of different questions, from statistics to social studies and the different challenges in getting a whole bunch of people to work together through their differences for a greater purpose, and ways of coordinating them effectively.



# solve

issues plaguing different societies through local action

## consider these

- what might we get all the people who've quit porn in a country or region to do?
- statistics that reduce complex social problems to a number
- lowering that number by bringing people who've quit addiction together locally

## actions

1. orchestrating datasets of different social problems in a central location
2. understanding the moving parts behind a social issue, and figuring out what is getting stuck
3. considering how a bunch of happy people could do to solve the problem, or examining an existing solution they could get involved with
4. evaluating different research and finding complementary solutions
5. creating easy to follow instructions for people to action local problems, together.


## looping

solving pornography means we can create the answers to a more interesting question:
"how might we improve the world together?"

the answer to that is locally, and using data. what we ideally want is a bunch of statistics and rapidly implementable initiatives that scale well with more people escaping pornography and joining a purpose that they resonate with.

your job is creating ways that people can solve these issues, giving them statistics to focus on, and creating guides to implementing them. Core is that making sure that it's something that people can control in the environment around them, or can create a small and effective campaign



# understand

problems and potential solutions

## consider these

- differences and similarities within collated pieces of research
- actionable solutions for people everywhere

## actions

1. evaluating research on different social programmes and initiatives, and how they scale
2. collating different data sources for tracking progress
3. finding ways for different people to understand and improve their local communities
4. confirming that potential solutions are actionable and statistically effective
5. creating ways that people can get involved and share progress.

## looping

for example, lowering heat load in cities makes a huge difference for a bunch of problems.
an effective way of lowering heat load in cities is planting trees.
however, this is difficult for individual people or a small group to accomplish, and plus, an even more effective way of lowering heat load is painting roofs white.

this is an easy and effective action for solving a problem like this, but what goes into it?
you could probably convince people to reduce their energy bill, and get approval for it, or even fundraise to do so. you might need approval from local government in some cases.

and you can synthesise all of these problems into a checklist for people to follow.
but perhaps the real problem is a lack of community in the building, and people feeling powerless by even small structures. from a small win, you could get someone to create a vision of a garden on top of the roof, with volunteers who enjoy being green thumbs.



# strategy (editing and artistry)

I don't think that managing artists is the way to go, but we need a direction to go in to accomplish these goals.

you basically get strategy people to define a strategy, and then get all the editing and artistry people to pop what they make into a big 'bucket' so that the influecning people can just have a huge well of content to post on a bunch of different social media pages they make

There's a bunch of themes to focus on, and we want to challenge the current meta, create our peaceful one, and then experiment with that one too.
