That was actually a good question.
I don't think celebrities like Michael Moore or Kayne West would be interested in starting this project.
30% of Virginians voted for a political party that seems set to do away with American democracy. I don't think they will be interested in this project, regardless of whatever occupation they currently have or how average they seem to be.
There are tradespeople who do volunteer in their community. They have an understanding of civics. They might be interested in starting this new democracy.
My father was a farmer with a Grade 10 education. He was quite active in community affairs. If he liked the TDG idea, he would probably be building it. He passed away in 2002. But there might be other farmers like him.
There are many community leaders who are active members in community organizations. They are already attending meetings and deciding things in a democratic way. They might be interested.
There are many college-educated people who are working minimum wage jobs. Building the TDG might become a sense of purpose for them. They would have the education you are looking for.
You might to read my first TDG novel. This is a story of average Americans building the TDG:

The TDG only needs 1% to start things off.
