Thoughts here and at my </html>[[:en:User:Lycurgus|<font color=gold>User Page</font>]]<html> would MAG,F¹. Ofc I don't expect anything to come of such thinking, it is fafar removed from even the most ambitious things currently possible in American Culture, which unfortunately appears locked in a culture of mediocrity which seems to decline further into stupidity and backwardness the more heated the friction between global secular progress and local parochial recidivism becomes. A big part of this I think is that the supposed left, isn't really much of a left at all. I think the Bill and Melindas understand this and for this reason are largely unconcerned about actual revolutionary change such as occurred in Russia or France, assured an Obama or a Trump is as much of an actual revolution as the consuming masses will buy. | Thoughts here and at my </html>[[:en:User:Lycurgus|<font color=gold>User Page</font>]]<html> would MAG,F¹.

<b><blockquote> | |||
The replacement of the elected king with the living will of the people is meant in the scheme I spin with the caveat above to be a first step in a complete overhaul of the state framework but gradually and conservatively with transformation of the existing institutions piece by piece. The successive steps would be pursued only upon the successful completion of the first ones. | |||
</blockquote><blockquote> | |||
Post POTUS, the most failed institution of the Old Republic, and with the people in direct executive control, the next transformation would be the Congress and of course finally the Judiciary completing a thorough modernization of the tripartite framework, top down. | |||
</blockquote><blockquote> | |||
First the Senate would be replaced with a body of subject matter experts, perhaps on the model of tenured academics and of course with a selection process based on merit/peer review rather than popularity, it would cease to have a legislative function as such, cancelling its effect as perhaps the most undemocratic element of the Old Republic. | |||
</blockquote><blockquote> | |||
Then the House of Representatives would be reformed to be a body of actual citizen representatives, more like what it originally was before a permanent professional political class took over. Since the Senate would be merely an advisory body, this would result in a unicameral structure with say 1 representative for every N 100K citizens, with N <= 5 initially for a count similar to the current apportionment. N would decrease to 1 as the body was devolved to the states with only committee and tripartite functions remaining in the capitol resulting in a body similar in size to the CPC NPC but in continuous session between elections (by the executive polling mechanism). | |||
</blockquote><blockquote> | |||
Finally and at some distance due to the technical challenges, the Judiciary would be replaced by automation, subsequent to a general reform of the body of law and delivery of legislation to make same possible, at every level, the federal last. | |||

Globally and locally, a resolution of the culture wars by a rearrangement of states into larger and more diverse unions of more finely partitioned cultural preservation blocks carrying the currently contending factions into a more harmonious and efficient union as part of the denouement of globalization with the Ancient central unions of Europe, China and India in leading roles and with a total number of on the order of 10 or fewer such but with increased local autonomy combined with efficiencies/possiblities that come only with a global scale of management, as has already been partially effected by late capitalism (cf. discussion). | Globally and locally, a resolution of the culture wars by a rearrangement of states into larger and more diverse unions of more finely partitioned cultural preservation blocks carrying the currently contending factions into a more harmonious and efficient union as part of the denouement of globalization with the Ancient central unions of Europe, China and India in leading roles and with a total number of on the order of 10 or fewer such but with increased local autonomy combined with efficiencies/possiblities that come only with a global scale of management, as has already been partially effected by late capitalism (cf. discussion). | ||
