New Authority with close-knitted control?
Some are afraid that a network like GOL might turn just into another authority. Social control could even become worse, due to mutual dependences arising soon. Everybody gets worked into some groups, who will try to rule everything.
Will their be left any room to breath and think on one's own?
I admit that such tendencies might occur at the start, but I suppose they will grind to a halt rather soon. Only such rules can climb the levels, which are of vital significance to big majorities. Anything else will get stuck right in the beginning, cause there are more important things to do.
How are unpleasant speakers getting on?
They soon will be voted out of office. If doubted speakers collected many supporters, or brought along many adherents, then disagreeable groups will get deserted before long. Since the groups are only build virtually in the network, no one needs to change his living or working place to get free again for joining a better group.
I think, other, more relevant dangers might arise, when ideological tendencies start to spread in the network. Political parties or sects of all kinds can nest in and build many groups. As long as no unlawful content is shared, no other means against such tendencies are available, as to achieve bigger majorities. But this is exactly what the forum has to do. In the long run only such items and rules can be lasting, which are convincing more people, due to better arguments. This is the very political culture a level-democracy needs and shall develop.
But till then we'll have a hard time?
To put things right virtual laws of GOL don't have sovereignty. A rule will not be valid for uninvolved groups, but only regionally for those members, who had actually woven this law-string. This way a “political migration” in the network will arise. While the representatives of a certain course can create their desired rules in region A, other members will leave this region A to till the soil in their preferred region B. At last only such law-strings will be left, which had been approved by bigger majorities and this way had climbed to higher levels. Specialized areas might remain for a while, but will decline more and more by showing their insignificance.
Each group shall invent another world?
Of course, not. Groups will come together accordingly to urgent problems in real life, if official powers fail to achieve a solution, or don't even search any. In the beginning such problems most likely will be issues of labour. A global labour union the more painfully is missing, since multinationals meanwhile are acting globally. The more general a group's field of activity becomes, the more it will spread, the more groups will join up. Both the problem and the found solutions will climb up the levels, till “their own world” is invented newly by the involved members.
A change of approach won't be sufficient?
Today everybody is on his or her own. As long as a common structure of volition is missing, as long the meanwhile rather difficult circumstances won't really change. The new way of life, which is to be found, will rest upon a common volition, thus its structure must be persisting. If it should decline for any reason, it must become re-erected in no time. The knots need to remain, while the members can keep migrating for political, social, or any other reasons.
But no one will go to such troubles?
As soon as sufficient notice will arrive from other parts of the world, the social status will show very clearly. This might open many people's eyes, who were used to trust their media and familiar surrounding till now. If so, then the upcoming of groups is only a question of time. Still, time we got plenty of, if considering us all. I suppose, the more difficult circumstances become, and the more we learn about it, the better we are going to use our time.
