The Biden transition team responsible for ushering in the nation's Return to Decency™️ is as packed full of military-industrial complex lackeys and imperialist sociopaths as you'd expect, with one such manipulator being the Obama administration's "chief propagandist" Richard Stengel.
The presidential election has made one thing very clear. it doesn't work.The current system does not work. Covid 19 has made at least two things very clear; our health system and our system of governing doesn't work. The health system wasn't prepared for an epidemic and the government had to resort to authoritarian means to respond to the situation. Both are unacceptable.
Our situation with the climate crises that has us facing extinction makes at least one thing clear, our economic system doesn't work. Putting personal profit above all other considerations, limitless extraction within a limited system, that has permitted the fouling of our environment to the point of possibly no return is a form of insanity and has led to species extinction on a massive scale to the point where now it is our species that faces extinction.
The war machine, the idea that might makes right, is so unethical, so criminal, so destructive, and so barbaric that it should have never been permitted ever.
Humanity cannot continue making the same mistakes over and over like a totally insane and unethical species. We all know at some early age that something is wrong with the way humanity is. Along the way, almost everyone I would surmise, learns that "all is corrupt." Yet as individuals we feel powerless and that it seems that everything beyond our personal existence is beyond our control and we learn to accept our impotence in this regard and all the unacceptables are accepted as a part of life. Accepting what is unacceptable is unacceptable. This is what must be changed, which is almost everything.
For one person to be in charge of such complexity doesn't make sense. Power needs to be decentralized. The time for world leaders is over, maintaining their power becomes more important than serving the people. The same could be said for the nation state. These antiquated, historical ideas of managing systems are way overdue for the trash bin. The first step was to end the idea of kings, now it is time to end presidents, premiers, and dictators. I never wish to be "led" and I don't wish to lead.. I would rather share the responsibility of managing society with everyone.
We have three strategies to accomplish this, to share for your consideration: First is to unite all like minded individuals, organizations, and networks digitally such that there is a clear and easy way to communicate, collaborate, and organize, a network of networks (utopiacornucopia.org).
And secondly to promote the idea of horizontal governing (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wywMhg604W8&feature...), which is virtually incorruptible, more equitable, and more effective. In this way a new paradigm can emerge organically, autonomously, and collaboratively. We don't need a blueprint or a plan for something that is far too complex for any static idea.
A third strategy is to reinvent cities for localization. We can exchange the need for things (quantity) and the commercialization of all life for a deeper kind of existence based on good and honest relationships, a society that is founded on love and caring for one another (quality). These ideas I submit for your evaluation and feedback.
