Outline:
What I'm interested in is my people, the human race, going strongly into the future
I want to make my planet and my people powerful; I want humans to be a formidable force in the galaxy going forward
Humans become part of the problem not the solution when they don't embrace constant change and try to hold on to the past. This will always fail. The universe is a system in which the only constant is change!
What is happening is a global slow disintegration/reintegration of the balance of powers
Therefore we need better systems for the increasingly interconnected and growing world.
There will come a time where we all have to pull together hard; that's why integration and cooperation is the way forward
In other words the more effectively and completely we pull together the stronger we will be on the "galactic stage"
Consequently, the human race as a whole should be moving towards a democracy of democracies That will be augmented by awareness by testing for it and implementing it, In order to reach our next level of evolution.
This new configuration will ultimately result in the emergence of omega point where the human race will be a new entity configured to be strong at the next level
But what will this new global democracy look like? How will it actually function? I'm working on this
One thing for sure, the president of the global democracy will roughly equal Plato's philosopher "king"
The US model of democracy is the best; so the world democracy should be modeled after it
Communism always fails and results in autocratic oligarchies
Within a democracy a balance needs to be maintained between the two opposing ideals of capitalism and socialism
This roughly happens with the constant back and forth between political parties but this process is extremely inefficient and must be improved.
Plato believed that the philosophers should rule, and I am interpreting this as the aware should lead
Awareness equals empathy, holistic thinking (handling wide angle complexity) plus knowledge of what is happening in the world as opposed to "smart" which is a much more focused type of intelligence, and is becoming more and more inadequate to handle the ever increasing complexity of our world.
Awareness wins because it seeks to benefit all not just a few
We should be testing for awareness, both in voting and in government service
You should pass a worldview test before you can even be in government
If you're one of these people who has no idea what's going on in the world and no idea how their government really works you shouldn't be able to vote federally, but I suppose you could still vote at the state level because it affects you
If we want the human race to be powerful, the ones in power guiding the human race need to be able to reach the forms with awareness
Our leaders must be verifiably AWARE and follow the True Human Honor Code
Don't have a political bias one way or the other when you propose an intelligence test to get into government
An excellent test of whether one is aware enough for a high position in world government is whether they're an anti-semite or not
Another test for awareness is exeptance of the trans people
You can generalize this to anyone that wants to destroy any other type of human being or group of human beings is not fit to lead our 21st century global civilization
Now, the US model of democracy also needs to be strengthened in ways described by Nietzsche to function even better
Slave morality, as outlined by Nietzche, weakens us! We have the right to kill or control the sociopaths that hurt or kill people!
Our society should reflect the hierarchy of awareness
This new system should be a system in which your own behavior will marginalize you if it's dishonorable
You move up through our new society by growing your verified awareness
We'll build a system within which you'll be oppressing yourself by your own bad behavior
This global political system will result in the unification of all humans on earth into a new emergent life form that will dominate the galaxy
Complete Conformity Among Humans is Bad
Humans Need to Build Awareness
Globally, Punishment for Crimes Should be Based on Awareness
