It then moves on to a more pragmatic implementation through the use of the Liquid Feedback crowd-network policy enabling platform, showing both the capabilities of the software and possible pathways of improvement of its consensual decision making method and the quality of the policy generated. Finally, in the study case of the EU labor market it attempts to enhance the policy generation process adding end user friendly populated visualization methods, such as the Timeglider widget API. The Ask So what is the first thing we do when we have a question? - Ask a friend - Ask a professional or authoritative figure - Ask a machine algorithm (Google Search, Wolfram Alpha, Siri) * Policy Analyst, Community Organizer 14 Paul Suciu We input our question verbally or textually. We use key words to link up meaning. We hope for an illuminating answer. The answer for simple problems is a word, a string or a sentence, much the same as our input. The one for complex ones is a narrative. But what if we have a bigger question, one that is socially relevant for a community’s future? One that depends on two parameters necessary for political action: to want and to be able; empowerment and accountability; knowledge and legitimacy. INTRODUCTION Whatever happened to the Knowledge Society? To the Knowledge Worker that Drucker (2002) was promoting as the basis of the modern corporation? An individual empowered to take decisions in a consensual environment, from any part of a production network, based on his unique specialized knowledge, with the necessary knowledge to eliminate the sort of Black Swan uncertainty that is plaguing modern society and having a “chilling effect” on action. The drive beyond this project lies in my life experience as a migrant who has travelled in search of a better life across three continents and the empowerment I attained out of self-reliance. I ultimately aim to build communities, to bring likeminded individuals together and to further explore my political options, beyond mere compliance with the current social norms. Since I possess very limited means of action, beyond my rather unfocused knowledge of socio-economic processes and policy, I guess I currently fall within the sphere of what is called grassroots activism - all the while actively searching for a clear expression of personal purpose. I would have to say that I’ve followed every step that society prescribes in such endeavors. In my youth, years ago, I was a party member for a few months, thou tired of the angst caused by the rather authoritarian environment, I let go for more artistic endeavors; studied Communication (including political, public, law, economic, PR and religious), continued on to International Policy, Business and Accounting. I have traveled the world for the last 10 years and have on occasion engaged in fierce political debate. I became a clicktivist, supported AVAAZ, Change.org, Wikileaks and many others, until I’ve come to realize that while aiming for betterment,
