NOTE: Work in Progress
The real issue with any system whether AS IS or TO BE is this:
Usurpation
Q: What causes & increases the risk?
Can the risk be zero or minimized?
A:
(1) Proxies, intermediaries
e.g.:
Public Fund Managers - politicians
Private Fund Managers - pension funds, insurance funds, banks
Media Managers - news, social media
Money/Currency Managers - money issuer & lenders
(2)
The Hierarchy🔺Paradigm
& Indirect Systems & Organizations that the paradigm undergirds e.g. Corporations, State are
- evil, insidious means of usurpation
- the real scourge upon humanity
- without social legitimacy
- to be shunned
The more direct the system,
the less reliance on proxies & intermediaries,
the less top-down imposition,
the less risk of usurpation, and
the better for everyone in the system.
So let's identify proxies, intermediaries, hierarchy
and by shun/bypass them all
The benefit of this approach:
Individuals can discuss constructively & be informed accordingly
-- The Lesson from 'Blind Men & Elephant' story
Let's not be stuck on debates over Capitalism or Fascism or any of the 'ism's
Let's instead identify the sources of usurpation & pivot away from them
- the Hierarchy paradigm & such structures for control
- proxies & intermediaries
The individual in deciding for self & family
whether to be scam-prone, or scam-free
is the change agent
An aggregate of individual decisions
=> natural democracy
An aggregate of individual decisions over all areas for direct systems
=> Direct, Full Spectrum Democracy
Further thoughts:
AI is the new insidious form of thought and information hierarchy
Here's a proposed test:
Does the AI promote, sustain or even tolerate Hierarchy?
Any AI that promotes, sustains or even tolerates Hierarchy is suspect
Such a bias would indicate that the owners & developers of AI have inserted their own agenda against the interest of the populace
More thoughts:
The same test can be applied to organizations too including "coordinating" or "intergovernmental" and "think thank" organizations
- Council on Foreign Relations
- World Economic Forum
Is usurper-free Dom - a holistic and dynamic approach - a novei idea?
In comparison:
Conservativism / Libertarianism / Capitalism (laissez faire, little State intervention - let the market decide) does not address the existing concentration of economic power
Anarchism (without ruler / authority) simply ignore the realities of economic power (similar to Conservatism?)
Socialism (collective, public or state , but not private, control of production) does not address ruling class hierarchy
Communism (State property, and not private property) does not address ruling class hierarchy
Social Democracy (gradual movement from capitalism to socialism) a nice idea on paper but it does not address the power dynamics between Wealth/ Capitalists and Proxies/Politicians ie they can potentially, and in fact do work together to turn on the populace - for their own respective & mutual benefit
To re-cap:
Bypass proxies & hierarchy for usurper-free Dom
