Challenges to ISITAS
ISITAS has the potential to radically change the world for the better. But there are many challenges standing in the way. Currently ISITAS is just a few Google docs and web pages scattered about random servers across the Internet. The whole project could instantly vanish into thin air at any moment.
Like a fireplace being lit, we are just now beginning to hold a match to paper. There are many stages to go through to execute this plan, and challenges at every step of the way. Here we will include a few of the ones we can foresee.
The most likely challenge of all is simple failure to launch. Inertia at the outset because enough people or the right people never make the connection enough to see the value. Indeed, that is the reason that ISITAS has not taken off before now. It has had all the elements to be a viable project for over a decade. The only reason it hasn’t turned into something is because the original developer has not yet shared it with people who can fully appreciate it.
This series of videos represents the first attempt to overcome this initial challenge. If this series gets a significant response and we clear that initial hurdle that has been holding up the project for so long, then we’ll begin to address the next set of challenges.
The biggest, ultimate challenge will come shortly after attracting the first wave of member candidates; the time commitment. A key parameter of the Exponential Launch Sequence (ELS) is that members will invest 100 hours over the period of about 92 days, or an average of 1.1 hours/day. This time commitment will eliminate many people who would otherwise be very interested in participating. Even after allowing for a 50% time buy-back program that reduces the commitment, there are many who will consider this to be too great an investment in time that they can risk on an unorthodox and untested project.
The key to overcoming this obstacle is to find and connect with those people who appreciate the potential of this plan enough to invest time in it AND who have the time available amidst their busy schedules. This is no small feat, as our current system keeps most people hustling at top speed just to keep up with the demands of life. Of those who do have availability, most have their filters up for half-baked projects that are just going to peter out like most of them do.
But ISITAS is not one of those BS projects that won’t materialize. ISITAS is the real deal. So assuming we can find that first group of ten people who will execute Stage 2 of the ELS, the next challenge is a matter of coordination.
Getting a group of people to work together effectively to deliver a product or service on budget and on schedule is no small task under normal circumstances. Doing so with an entirely new type of organizational structure that none of the members have ever used before is another matter.
This is exactly the purpose and design of the ELS. It is a crowdsourcing process whereby team members collaboratively develop a platform in an asynchronous manner. It’s an innovative and powerful approach to project management that is beyond the scope of this article. Suffice it to say that coordinating a crowd to develop this system is the secret sauce of ISITAS, and is covered elsewhere.
Assuming we are able to coordinate on developing the platform and recruiting new cohorts of members, the greatest challenges will arise as ISITAS fulfills it’s potential. The project will remain in stealth mode up until the membership reaches the 1 million member point. At that point, the existence of the ISITAS project will be announced to the world, and it will be instantly recognized as a global juggernaut. At the point of this announcement, it will be clear that the membership is poised to be at 1 billion people within the space of a year — a billion people worldwide, who are investing 10 to 25 hours per week of their time on ISITAS and constituting a metastable ecosystem that is completely outside the control of the legacy USD-based system or any particular government.
It is at this point that those people with a vested stake in the status quo will take whatever measures they can to avoid disruption to their way of life. The nature of challenges faced at this point are difficult to expand on, as there are myriad possibilities. The idea is that by delaying public knowledge of the project for as long as possible, those established interests will not be able to respond meaningfully before it is too late to stop ISITAS’ rapid assent to socioeconomic supremacy.
