NEW: The 10 Commandments for Government
Since too many people are treating government like religion, introducing NEW GUIDE STONES FOR HUMANITY:
The NEW Ten Commandments for government:
1) Demand RADICAL transparency
2) Decentralize power to the people
3) Don’t trust, verify
4) Organize better - The people need a better high-trust verifiable way to communicate with government and hold them accountable (collective ‘swarm’ intelligence, for example)
5) The people should be part of the collective problem solving process of government
6) All rules and systems must be tied to metrics and outcomes (results)
7) If a rule or law is not getting results it should be removed, changed, or reconsidered
8.) All laws and rules have sunset dates and expire after no more than 2 years and must be reviewed by the people and representatives together.
9) The government works for the people
10) The people have the final say
What other commandments might you add that we desperately need today?
All problems that do not defy the laws of physics are solvable.
Humans solve problems better in high-trust groups.
And Solving problems is happiness!

For over 3 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 . Right now we are like those single-celled organisms. Our next evolution is finding how to work together, better… (like we wrote about here).

COMMENTS ARE FOR EVERYONE AS A PLACE TO THINK-TANK SOLUTIONS. They will never be for paid-only subscribers and we will never charge a subscription.
As we evolve towards less government, let's give consensus a try.
Not the so-called consensus found in statements like, “99% of scientists say vaccines are safe and effective.” That fake consensus is actually public relations (i.e. advertising, i.e. propaganda, i.e. lies from professional liars). The fake consensus can persuade innocent, overly trusting people; however those who question the justifications for major public policies and dig down to the facts have and will save us from all kinds of heart-breaking, expensive-to-fix mistakes. For example, Questioners like Rachel Carson (Silent Spring) and Dr. Frances O. Kelsey (thanks to her, thalidomide was not licensed in the US).
Consensus is used by numerous corporate and not-for-profit organizations as a way to avoid the pitfalls of “Majority Rules.” (Remember, a lynch mob is an example of Majority Rules gone bad.) Policies made without consensus can cause a lot of problems to a community or a nation – just look at the majority view, which lasted thousands of years, that a woman’s place was only in the home. Another flawed paradigm was Might Makes Right, by which the winner of a war could enslave the conquered nation.
Consensus (when it’s achieved correctly) is a better process for governance than voting. I learned how Affinity Groups work when I joined the Abalone Alliance (early 1980s) to blockade the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant before it went online.
What a revelation it was to discover that getting everyone’s agreement to a policy or action meant that the minority objections were valuable – they could be crucial for finding a workable, fair plan.
And occasionally a person would still have objections to the group’s tentative proposal but would “stand aside,” i.e. quit blocking consensus, because they saw that their concern wasn’t as important as moving forward.
Achieving consensus takes more time at the start, but usually avoids a lot of conflict later.
