Institute for Mechanism Design
OUR
MISSION
Create an institute for new incentive structure design & implementation.
OUR
HACKER SPACE



OUR PLAN
We will start by selecting a number of directly impactful implementable mechanisms which transform some aspects of government, business or science and begin to use the implementations in a serious context. Battle tested implementations will be released to gain sufficient traction & revenue to acquire funding which will allow for the design and implementation of many more mechanisms through hiring incentive designers and programmers.
OUR
GOALS

Implement mechanisms that solve crucial coordination problems.
-
Ex. The relocation of large numbers of people.
-
Ex. The creation of new institutions (companies, religions, universities).
Redesigning capitalism through transformations of money & the market mechanism.
-
Ex. Wherever possible using rewards for counterfactual value to replace rewards for creating standard conceptions of value.


Designing the next scientific method by making science reactive to cognitive bias and orienting collective incentive structures towards truth, openness and progress.
-
Ex. replacing the citation with a more granular form of recognition which incentivizes the immediate sharing of ideas, results and data (negative results, experiment ideas, datasets, and more).
-
Ex. using collective uncertainty to direct research exploration.
Decomposing governance into its major decision points and mechanisms on a research frontier which improves every aspect of governance.
