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 plus 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, which looks like a typo but is just arithmetic: two point seven two billion dollars divided by one billion dollars. The structure is senior debt, meaning the fund pays bondholders before anyone else, like a V.I.P. line, but for not dying. Payout is ten percent of all treaty inflows, which equals two point seven two billion dollars per year. Collateral is a twenty-seven point two billion dollar plus annual treaty revenue stream. The pitch is "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 (roughly three hundred million dollars a year) plus the military-industrial complex (roughly one hundred and fifty million dollars a year) equals four hundred and fifty million dollars a 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 a year FOREVER. Over a realistic ten-year campaign, opposition spends roughly four point five billion dollars to your one billion dollars. They outspend you four point five to one. But their four hundred and fifty million dollars a year is spread across maintaining thousands of contracts, subsidizing dozens of incumbents, and defending the entire status quo. Your one billion dollars is a single bullet aimed at a single treaty. Concentrated offense beats diffuse defense. Ask any general. (They'd know; you're paying them enough.). 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. In the Seed phase, two hundred and fifty to four hundred million dollars is spent on the platform, policy frameworks, and pilots to reach fifty million verified participants, with a difficulty level of "Convince a few billionaires". In the Series A phase, five hundred million to one billion dollars is spent to scale to G Seven nations, targeting three point five percent global participation, or two hundred and eighty million people, with a difficulty level of "Convince several countries". In the Growth phase, five hundred million to one point one billion dollars is spent on the ratification push in major powers, leading to the first one billion dollar disbursement, with a difficulty level of "Convince the countries with nukes". Ranges reflect scenario planning (optimistic to pessimistic). The one billion dollar target is the base case; upper bounds cover contingencies because convincing nuclear powers to behave rationally occasionally requires overtime. 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: Global Referendum: two hundred and fifty million dollars for the viral referral system, two hundred and eighty million votes, and platform development. Political Lobbying: six hundred and 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. Reserve Fund: one hundred million dollars for post-passage transition and a contingency buffer. Key Innovations. Viral mechanics: twenty cents per vote (an optimistic lower bound with a base case of fifty to eighty-nine cents) versus the five to fifteen dollar traditional cost per voter. Democracy at wholesale prices. Strategic focus: twenty high-impact countries, not all one hundred and ninety-five. You don't need Liechtenstein's permission. Timeline: thirty-six to sixty months (optimistic) to one hundred and 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 and 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 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 Platform: eighty percent, or twenty-one point eight billion dollars, for patient subsidies, research, and the platform. VICTORY Bond Returns: ten percent, or two point seven two billion dollars, for perpetual investor payments. I.A.B. Political Incentives: ten percent, or two point seven two billion dollars, for 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: six months of proposal writing, committees deciding whether the proposal writing was good enough, universities skimming forty percent overhead, and then maybe, possibly, if the stars align and no one retires mid-review, some science.
