Man, I want this as a mobile augmented reality app. Someone needs to geolocate and stitch up all photos ever made.

"In situations where almost every outcome has been decided in advance according to a set of impersonal and predefined rules and regulations, the only way in which people are able to gain some control over their lives is to exploit 'zones of uncertainty' where the outcomes are not already known."

–Bureaucracy - Wikipedia

Life goal: Exploiting zones of uncertainty.

Foster better informed citizenry. First step: Improve online news? Initial exploratory work in progress.
Improve online communication tools: Mailing lists, forums, wikis: So much to improve with each of those. Maybe build on the Wave protocol? Can software can recreate the effect of a competent moderator in a face to face discussion? First step: ?
Improve learning materials: more interactivity, more visualization, more collaboration, intuitive devices (multi-touch tablets, probably). First step: ?
Support creative, active people
- Hacker stipends: YCombinator for people who do stuff, commercial or not. Grassroots Grundeinkommen. The basic income house. First step: Get rich?
- Bring ambitious people together
Establish programming & web tech as core competency for journalists, politicians, ..., everyone. Because in those jobs, you just need to be able to effectively use, but also flexibly build and customize, tools for information retrieval, visualization & communication. First step: Courses @ Metalab?
Radically simplify computing user interfaces. First step: Standardize (some aspects of) web UI? Some sort of seal of approval for cloud services with OpenID login, Atom & AtomPub APIs, oAuth?, standard UI patterns, standard i18n patterns,... "Regular people can use these tools in any combination!"
Reform election laws: Less influence of geographic location, abolish hurdles, Condorcet, etc. First step: Start a campaign?
Liberal/libertarian political activism: Next step: Because of the incompetence of actors at the Austrian political party level, escalate to EU level or focus on cross-party projects.
Integration/local community building: Free pies, or something.
Upbringing and education are probably the greatest points of leverage... think about those some more.
Everything requires: Money to survive, other people and the ability to motivate them, more discipline, stable sleep cycle, more delegation,...

"When people use your electronic systems to do anything – renew a fishing license, register a pregnancy, apply for planning permission – give them the option to collaborate with other people going through or affected by the same process."
