2.2.1.1.2. LOGISTIC.ENDQUOTE
Consensus of a Group of that size may only be achieved with help of an
adequate "3F" E-Platform.
Short experience with my CN shows that while such Platform is
feasible, adequate and efficient, its refining and, above all, the
apprenticeship of its use will require at least a generation.
The main difficulty seems to reside not so much in Platform's
complexity, but in mental rigidity engendered by our educational
system making people unable to understand, let alone to apply concepts
sorting of beaten paths.
Indeed, only very young and uneducated, or rather self educated people
were able to make worth while contributions to CN.
2.2.1.1.3. SINCERITY.ENDQUOTE
It is the critical condition: members must be capable to conceive and
accept local, i.e. personal sacrifices involved by the global
improvement. This short phrase implies a fundamental change of
mentality, replacement of present egoism with something similar to the
attitude of Israeli Kibbutzim.
BTW I should think that each sincere protagonist of DD should start by
a stage in a Kibbutz, as it's the only truly DD social group in the
history. (The celebrated Athenian Democracy was in reality an
Oligarchy eliminating from power the majority: metecs and slaves.)
If Logistics requires at least a generation, Sincerity will come still
later, if ever, its necessary condition is the New Manner of Thinking
discussed below.
2.2.1.1.4. SECOND ENLIGHTENMENT(cut by ant)
That's why we endeavor to explicate Relativistic Dialectic inENDQUOTE
ontological and epistemological terms as a modest contribution to the
Second Enlightenment and to its socio-political outcome, the Direct
Democracy.
Ontological foundations of RD may be seen in Relativistic Phenomenology

G:
Wishful thinking. I observe that people lose the
faculty of reasoning and realizing whatever it may be
and react socially only to manipulation and
conditioning. It's no more question
of "obedience" and "servitude", but of considering
power, like gravity, as force majeure against which
it's not only inefficient, but stupid to revolt.
And nobody wants to revolt. People want a strong
guy solving for them problems and leaving them to
quietly eat, drink and copulate. Look at the last
elections in France. The strongest guy came through
and candidates proposing I&R got about 1% of votes.

G:
That's what you think they need, but all they desire
is a lot of food, drink and sex.
That's why I stress the SINCERITY in my Shadow
Parliament as the essential prerequisite of DD.

Only after it's met, people will eventually need,
what you assume the do now.
And please, stop confusing "government" or executive
with "governance", which is what DD addresses.
Georges.
