If a Government Policy Opens The Door For Tyranny, We Should Look to Find A Better Policy- One That Doesn't.

Boiling Down Our Biggest Problems, Offering Up Solutions, plus a 1 minute video worth your time.

Aloha fellow problem solvers. I’m glad you have come to the realization that we need to be making action plans instead of just pointing out the problems. Together, as one decentralized, honest, and transparent group - we can solve any problem and every problem. And we will.

But today, let’s start here: How can we start making better political policies?

This is important.

We all have to live under the policies we allow to be put in place. This means our children, and their children too. We need to be extra cautious here, which is problematic because we all know that the systems that govern over our lives have been corrupted by entities that do not have our best interests in mind (like we talked about previously here). So all of us who care (which we hope is all of us here) are basically driving a bus right now, but the steering cables have been cut by these corrupt people. We have a big, beautiful bus and some people purposely sabotaged the system, and the bus is still moving - fast!

So? We need to fix the steering cables - YES - right now while we are still flying down this hill. We don’t have a choice. We can’t wait for it to crash before we fix it - too much suffering will happen if it crashes. So let’s not wait. We got lots of good mechanics and all the right tools right here, reading this right now. We can fix this if enough of us decide to. It starts with agreeing to work together (like we wrote about here), and then spreading the idea.

Oh, you ask, ‘But what if we don’t?’ Well, let’s not focus on that negativity. #NeutralThinking We can fix it. So we should.

Think of all the problems bad governments have caused in the past. Think of all of the people hurt. We should think of government like a pet pit bull. If treated without caution and respect, a pit bull could grow up to be a monster that hurts people. This is highly unlikely with a loving and forgiving breed like the pitbull, but if you have even one bad one then a lot of people can get hurt.

Well the same is true with government.

We can’t let it run itself, or it could grow up to be a monster. Sure, it might not. But it could. And if we can get intellectual cowardice out of the way, we might be able to admit that it is trying to, right now.

As Jocko’s Extreme Ownership would tell us, the responsibility that it doesn’t grow up to be a monster is on us. We love our pit bull. We want to own it. But we are responsible for its’ actions. So we need to be disciplined with how we allow it to behave, especially around children (yes, we are talking about government here now). And when government doesn’t behave? We need to discipline it, with digital shock collars like we wrote about here.

The root control government has over the people is policy, backed by force. So that policy needs to be carefully scrutinized by all of of us. This is our duty.

Also our duty is to hold our representatives accountable when they corrupt the systems that govern over our lives. Because the force of government is so powerful that anyone trying to corrupt it and use it to benefit themselves or to hurt others, should be punished swiftly, harshly and openly. They should be made an example of: don’t corrupt our systems.

No one is coming to save us. It is up to us to act. So let’s.

Responsibility #1: How do we identify bad policy?

With all the noise of corporations, propaganda of conglomerate media, the huge influence of political & dark money, and who knows what other kind of corrupted Epstein-client-list-favors exist out there, how can we see through the clutter and know what policies are truly bad for the people?

Let’s start simply:

If a governmental policy opens the door for even the slightest potential for tyranny to arise, we should try to find a better way that doesn’t, using rationality, reason, actual outcomes, and sometimes compromise to reach our goals.

Add to all of this our continuing advocacy here at the Rationalist for better technology to control our governmental representatives, like we wrote about here, and maybe we can all start discussing an action plan, instead of just sitting around pointing out our problems. We are just as guilty of this as anyone else, but the time has come for solutions.

Enjoy this video, explaining one perspective of how we could approach this:

Thanks for reading!

As always the entire purpose of this is to connect with other solutions-minded people like yourself! For 4 billion years on this planet there were only single-celled organisms. Then one day they somehow learned to work together and make complex multi-celled creatures like you and me. Right now we are like those single-celled organisms. Our next evolution is finding how to work together, better.

If you enjoyed this topic we explore it in several other articles we wrote here, here, and here.

Thanks for problem solving with us, you beautiful, rational creature. We all have the gift of creativity, and creativity is divinity - so let’s use it to be part of something big. You have something amazing to contribute. Start in the comments below.
