Common mistakes

Anyone who hears about our DirectDemocracyS system for the first time generally immediately makes some very serious mistakes, which we want to point out to you, and which we advise you not to do:

1. Don't judge hastily without knowing and studying everything.
2. Don't pretend you understand, and move on.
3. Don't compare us to all the other systems, or consider us anti-system.
4. Don't compare us to the direct democracy of ancient Greece, the direct democracy of Switzerland, or those implemented at the local level in some parts of the world, or to systems that have a couple of similarities with ours.
5. Not having a closed mind, and incapable of making innovative and alternative judgments.
6. Don't start getting informed, and lose patience, because you think we're too complicated, and obsessed with security.
7. Don't think of us as a pyramid scheme without understanding our motivations.
8. Don't say that in a little while we will become like everyone else, or even worse.
9. Don't say that we too will be corrupted by power, as soon as we get it.
10. Don't underestimate our enormous potential.
11. Don't give up at the first difficulties, but always try to understand all our motivations.
12. Don't say that there are few of us, or that we are not legal, because no one has ever worked this way.
13. Don't say that there are too many of us, and that the most important roles have certainly already been assigned to other people and various groups.
14. Don't try to investigate who is behind it, without even knowing who is behind the other traditional political forces.
15. Do not try to interpret, or explain to others, what we express clearly, and without any possibility of interpretation.
16. Don't make theories, suppositions, or conspiracies based on nothing.
17. Don't believe what others say about us, good or bad. Check for yourself to decide what to believe.
18. Don't trust negative reviews unless you also know our documented and verified version of the facts.
19. Don't consider us nonexistent, due to our limited external activity, on traditional social networks, and on other external websites.
20. Don't say we're not real just because we're not listed in many online encyclopedias, or because traditional media outlets don't mention us, and that we're little-known outside.
21. Do not attempt to discover the identities of anyone within our system, or those who collaborate with us, or who contact us from outside.
22. Don't try to find out what activities we do inside or outside our system.
23. Don't join us if you're not confident you're compatible, competent, loyal, reliable, incorruptible, honest, sincere, and if you don't enjoy working in an organized, orderly, confidential, and safe manner.
24. Do not join us if you cannot respect, both internally and externally, all of our rules, methodologies, instructions, motivations, and safety measures.
25. Don't join us because others are doing it. You need to be sure you like our goals and how we intend to accomplish everything we do.
26. Don't try to teach us anything; we don't teach you or anyone else. We're simply informing you of our existence and some of our rules.
27. Don't try to change some of our rules from the outside. If you really believe you can do better than us, join us and, by applying our rules, try to improve and integrate our rules and our activities with your ideas and projects, without distorting or modifying the previous ones.
28. Don't waste your time criticizing us, you would never be able to do anything better without completely copying all our rules, our features, and our style.
29. Never try to copy our ideas; you wouldn't be able to apply them, improve them, and you'd risk making a bad impression.
30. Don't try to copy our ideas, because good people, who are the majority of the world's population, do not forgive those who steal other people's ideas.
31. Do not try to copy our ideas because you would violate the Copyright Laws, and those on unfair competition. All our official members, as collective owners of our entire system, will not hesitate to report you, and to request moral and material damages.
32. Don't try to be clever, hoping to gain undeserved advantages and benefits by using our system in unethical and morally incorrect ways. You would waste a lot of time unnecessarily, and the consequences would be very serious.
33. Don't invite anyone to join us directly, remember to always invite them only to learn about our system.
34. Before inviting someone to join us, whether simply or officially, please ask a few questions to ensure they're fully informed. We don't need uninformed people.
35. Please remember that for higher user levels, if you officially invite someone, you will be responsible for ensuring the identity of the person (which must be verified according to our rules), as well as for any activities and behavior of the person you invite. This responsibility also extends to lower user levels, if you invite them.
36. Don't join us just to be passive spectators, and don't invite other passive spectators to join us. Always be protagonists, and invite others to be protagonists too.
37. Don't join us hoping to achieve the same potential as higher-level users (who are always earned through merit and concrete efforts) by using inferior user profiles. "Inferior" and "superior" are not insults, but objective assessments of various activities and behaviors.
38. Don't judge the morality and ethics of our technological activities, and the very detailed rules for integrating Artificial Intelligence into our system. Study its content and methodologies, and you'll see that we're right.
39. Don't boycott us, don't try to slow us down, or worse, don't try to stop us. You'll only waste time and you'll never succeed. We've already anticipated all possible scenarios, and we have the necessary and effective countermeasures ready.
40. Don't waste our precious time trying to negotiate with us, because we do not and will never, under any circumstances, compromise.
41. Do not propose agreements, coalitions, and pacts to govern together, and do not try to corrupt our political representatives, or our external representatives, because we ourselves are the first to test them, and to prove their integrity, even with offers of money, goods, and services, to find them, and expel them from our system, after having made them resign from all their roles.
42. If we win the elections, we will govern alone, assuming full responsibility for all our institutional activities and for all the consequences of the laws we push through. If we lose, we will conduct a just, fair, loyal, honest, and sincere opposition, voting for the laws our users deem right and useful, and against those deemed wrong.
43. Don't spread false information about us and our activities. You'll look bad, and no one will ever trust you or your claims again.
44. Do not threaten us because we will be able to respond with firmness and intelligence, in fact we will let the authorities, and those who follow us, know of your threats and your ignorance.
45. Don't offend us because we don't offend others, we simply analyze the facts, comment on them, and present our alternatives.
46. Don't be violent because we are not an evil system, but we will be able to respond intelligently and very determinedly to defend ourselves and turn your behavior into a boomerang.
47. Don't tell us we're illegal, and that our ideas and our plans won't work. It's perfectly legal for relatives, friends, and contacts—in other words, people—to join together in an innovative, alternative system, to do things as everyone decides, with everyone's vote. No one can impose any kind of rules on us; we have our own. As for our plans, they've all been carefully designed to work perfectly, ensuring their complete implementation, for the good of all good people. Our promises aren't made to attract consensus and votes. We know it will take long, hard work, with sacrifices on everyone's part, but the results achieved will repay all our efforts, with interest.
48. Logic, common sense, truth, study, and mutual respect : if you apply these words, you'll know exactly what our official position is on every possible issue. Decisions aren't made by a few leaders, but by all our registered users, with verified and guaranteed identities.
49. We do not give too much power to our five special groups, nor even to our specialist groups. All our official members can join the five special groups, while only competent, reliable, free, and independent individuals, continuously tested for reliability and integrity, can join and work in the specialist groups. The six specialist groups allow us to make informed and competent choices, knowing in advance, before voting, all the options and all the expected consequences for each of these options.
50. We have a very free and democratic voting method, open, motivated, and with full responsibility for everything we decide.

There are many other mistakes that can be made from the outside, and we will publish them in the second part of this informative article.
