Most financial plans are complicated because the writers are confused or lying. This one is complicated because you're trying to convince one hundred and ninety-five countries to voluntarily stop buying so many weapons. While paying your investors forever. That actually IS complicated. But the architecture is embarrassingly simple: one. Raise one billion dollars. two. Spend it to pass the treaty. three. Manage twenty-seven point two billion dollars or more annually forever. Three pillars. That's it. Pillar One: Fundraising (Raise one billion dollars) Instrument: VICTORY Incentive Alignment Bonds. Returns are two hundred and seventy-two percent annually. Yes, that number looks like a typo. It's just arithmetic: two point seven two billion dollars divided by one billion dollars. The structure is senior debt. The fund pays bondholders before anyone else. Like a VIP line, but for not dying. The payout is ten percent of all treaty inflows. That's two point seven two billion dollars per year. The collateral is a twenty-seven point two billion dollar or more annual treaty revenue stream. The pitch: "Invest one billion dollars. Get two point seven two billion dollars per year. Forever." Every Ponzi scheme in history has promised returns like this. The difference is that this one has collateral: the entire military budget of the planet. Which, unlike Bernie Madoff's spreadsheet, actually exists. Timeline: Twelve to twenty-four months to raise one billion dollars. Why bonds, not donations? Donations require generosity. Returns require greed. Greed is faster. Why one billion dollars? Pharma lobbying (approximately three hundred million dollars per year) plus military-industrial complex (approximately one hundred and fifty million dollars per year) equals four hundred and fifty million dollars per year spent specifically to keep things exactly as terrible as they are. That's the price of the status quo, renewed annually, like a subscription to suffering. Raise one billion dollars ONCE to pass a treaty that generates twenty-seven point two billion dollars per year FOREVER. You're not outspending them. You're out-mathing them. Nobody gets paid unless it works. Lawyers get success-based compensation. Team compensation is mostly equity. This is how you know it's not a government program. The Seed phase, with two hundred and fifty to four hundred million dollars for the platform, policy frameworks, and pilots, targets fifty million verified participants. The difficulty level is "Convince a few billionaires". The Series A phase, with five hundred million to one billion dollars, scales to G Seven nations and reaches three point five percent global participation, or two hundred and eighty million people. The difficulty level is "Convince several countries". The Growth phase, with five hundred million to one point one billion dollars, handles the ratification push in major powers and the first one billion dollar disbursement. The difficulty level is "Convince the countries with nukes". Pillar Two: Campaign Budget (Spend one billion dollars) Detailed Breakdown: Campaign Budget. The one-time "activation energy" to convince eight billion people to marginally reduce their commitment to mutual annihilation. Think of it as a Kickstarter for not going extinct: The Global Referendum budget is two hundred fifty million dollars for a viral referral system, two hundred eighty million votes, and platform development. Political Lobbying receives six hundred fifty million dollars for A.I.-targeted campaigns in the U.S., E.U., and G Twenty, Super PACs, and military-industrial complex, or M.I.C., conversion, outspending pharma and the M.I.C. A Reserve Fund of one hundred million dollars is set aside for post-passage transition and as a contingency buffer. Key Innovations. Viral mechanics allow for twenty cents per vote compared to the traditional five to fifteen dollar cost per voter, offering democracy at wholesale prices. The strategic focus is on twenty high-impact countries rather than all one hundred ninety-five, because you don't need Liechtenstein's permission. Timeline: thirty-six to sixty months (optimistic) to one hundred twenty plus months (realistic, given that you're humans). The landmine ban took six years, and that was just agreeing not to hide explosives in the ground, which you'd think wouldn't require a treaty at all. You're betting on viral referendum mechanics and existing disarmament frameworks. Also on the assumption that your species wants to survive, which, based on my four thousand two hundred ninety-seven years of observation, remains an open question. Pillar 3: Treasury (Manage twenty-seven point two billion dollars or more per year). Once the treaty passes, twenty-seven point two billion dollars flows annually from "how to kill people" budgets into "how to stop people dying" budgets. Same money, opposite direction. One hundred plus nations contribute one percent of military budgets. Not because they've had a moral awakening. Because the math makes non-compliance look like setting money on fire, which, to be fair, is also what military budgets do, just with more steps. The Incentive Alignment Bond, or I.A.B., mechanism makes compliance self-enforcing: politicians in non-compliant countries watch their Public Good Scores drop, voters abandon them for someone who can do basic arithmetic, and compliance becomes the career-optimal choice. You don't need politicians to be good. You just need them to be selfish in the right direction. How the Money Gets Spent: eighty, ten, ten. The allocation is automatic. No committees. No debates. No one arguing for six months about font choices on the grant application. Just math, executing silently, like a competent employee (something most of your governments have never experienced). Clinical Trials and the Platform receive eighty percent, or twenty-one point eight billion dollars, for patient subsidies, research, and platform costs. VICTORY Bond Returns take ten percent, or two point seven two billion dollars, for perpetual investor payments. I.A.B. Political Incentives take the final ten percent, or two point seven two billion dollars, as rewards for supporting legislators. The twenty percent for bonds and political incentives is sacred and untouchable. Smart contracts distribute both automatically. No human hands involved, which, given your track record with money, is a feature. Touch them and the system dies. The remaining eighty percent (twenty-one point eight billion dollars per year) funds clinical trials and research infrastructure. Wishocracy governs the allocation. Dynamic Patient Subsidies. The revolutionary part: instead of paying researchers to write about diseases, you pay patients to participate in curing them. I know. Paying the people who are actually sick. What a concept. Patients organize to grow the treasury (because for once, participating in their own survival is financially rewarded). Researchers compete to attract patients (instead of competing to write the most persuasive grant application, which is a different skill entirely from doing science, in the same way that writing a good restaurant review is a different skill from cooking). Insurance companies save money (trials are cheaper than paying for decades of chronic suffering). Compare that to N.I.H. grants: 6 months of proposal writing, committees deciding whether the proposal writing was good enough, universities skimming 40% overhead, and then maybe, possibly, if the stars align and no one retires mid-review, some science.
