The democratic dilemma as found in The New American Myth – what if the most popular idea isn’t actually such a good idea, or all that popular in reality? People governing government governing the people’s governing of the government that is in fact governing them. Democratic politics is inherently government by tautology.
What we need is something like ’sophisticracy’, government by un-biased state of the arts all arts. The real challenge I think is in finding how to navigate our way towards a balance of open progress and wellness without the hierarchies that are required (and they are required I think, to facilitate and implement intelligent co-habitation of the planet) becoming exclusively self serving in stead of serving the state of the world.
Democracy as we see it today will shred itself and just maybe we will see that the planet governs the planet, best for us if we work for this as much as we can, evolution can be Stern.
