I would like to introduce a concept I feel most are unaware of. Voting for people is totally meaningless. In fact takes us backward. Voting for a person means nothing because a person can change their mind as often as they wish. You may vote for x on the basis that x will cut taxes, but when x gets in, they raise taxes. They use any excuse they like, it's too late and you have to wait for 4 years before you can get another one who may do the same thing or worse. This goes on and on and the ones you give this power to know it.
The only way voting makes any sense is when a proposal is voted for. We need to vote for proposals. Proposals define what we're voting for. We could have representatives offering proposals to be voted on but that would be temporary as the people would soon realize they don't need the middleman, they can simply submit proposals themselves. Today with the technology at our disposal, everyone is able to make proposals. And everyone is able to vote on proposals. A rigorous system must be developed so each vote has equal weight. That would be the districting. It would have to have numbers that are equal or close to equal to give everyone's vote equal standing.
Giving a human your power to make decisions for you is one of the most dangerous things we can do. No human is capable of handling extra power. Each human needs to be engaged in developing themselves. There is no mandate for this, but when we are busy building ourselves and managing ourselves, there won't be room to manage other adults. People with power invested in them tend to almost always go "off the rails". Power corrupts, we know that, so why do we keep insisting on voting for people instead of voting on proposals?
We don't need representatives because we are perfectly capable of representing ourselves once we are adults who can read and write. We don't need a chaperone or hand-holder. And indeed, I submit, that voting for people is actually the most dangerous thing we can do.
This is some brilliant thinking. I would have never come up with something like that is a thousand years. Sounds great to me and at the least, very much better than what we have right now.
I'm so glad you comprehend the significance. The best thing we can do is spread this information or concept around. People are under a sort of spell thinking that voting for people somehow gives them say but no it doesn't, not at all. All it does is give their power away. We can all have our say if we had a "quality consensus system" based on proposals submitted and voted in by a vast majority, a vast majority or equal sovereigns. I assembled a very easy method in the Egalitarian Proposal System written about here if you are interested: https://deniseward.substack.com/p/the-egalitarian-proposal-system
I only had time to speed read the article which gets 5 stars from me.
These, particularly, stood out for me.
"the system of government is for dinosaurs. It’s for people who want to be governed and to remain like children. Sovereigns don’t ask permission to be free, freedom is simply claimed unconditionally. The amount of money and energy spent in the political, money, financial, educational, medical and all patriarchal systems is ludicrous and beyond words. But most of all — it is totally unnecessary.
"Nobody could come along and force someone to do anything. Force is considered barbaric and primitive behavior. We need to mature as a civilization. The idea of force would be viewed as contemptible and backward
You are correct about laying claim to our freedom. Those who rule over us just do it so why not turn it around and just decide to be free? Our rulers are usurpers and bullies. Forget them!
As far as maturing, I have long commented that we need to grow up before we can wake up.
Many good gems here but this was the first that jumped out at me.
"...for if the language, as understood in that day, would embrace them, the conduct of the distinguished men who framed the Declaration of Independence would have been utterly and flagrantly inconsistent with the principles they asserted; and instead of the sympathy of mankind, to which they so confidently appealed, they would have deserved and received universal rebuke and reprobation.”

It strikes me as a wonderful and unique way of describing things. I shall check out your link right now.
Thanks.
It's baffling. How can they NOT see it? This is what drives me to visually/virtually slap them with my videos.

I couldn't have stated it better, and have not.

For sure. Sweet talkin' BS from the start.
