Another thing I wanted to ask you is to describe g0v a little bit. I’ve read a lot about it. What would you say either is g0v’s central mission, or the role of civic hacking in society to you?
I think it’s a really creative, new-age, and progressive idea. I’ve been really excited from everything I’ve read about it.
Another thing I wanted to ask you about is your mission with transparency within the government. I saw that Simon Cheng brought Taiwan up to number one on the open data index, what you see as good about that, what the role of transparency is within government, and what their mission is.
One of the last things I’d like to ask you is you’re identifying as an anarchist while working in government, and trying to change it a bit. Could you talk a little bit about what seems to be that paradox on the surface?
[laughs] It’s much more a team than a hierarchy, then.
I think it’s super logical and very revolutionary. The last thing I wanted to ask you is whether there are other people you think you could recommend about talking to the subject, automation, digital sphere in politics, the things we’ve discussed.
If not, that’s fine. I’m just curious if anyone would come to mind.
I’m definitely interested in the social side as well. Those are good places to start.
Once again, I really appreciate the work you’re doing in promoting transparency at high governmental levels, and also making time to talk today. Thanks for your good, progressive work, and parting out a chunk of time.
Definitely. I’ll look that over, and then if there’s any sensitive info, I’ll let you know. But I think it should be fine. I’ll send you the recording immediately.
Thanks again. It was a pleasure to meet you.
Bye.
