[top-politics] Re: Disagreeable
-
Hey Lomax,
Inadvertently a point has been proven here, ie the many takes on the idea of direct democracy have much more significant common grounds than differences. I was answering Mark directly about his SD2-S system, and it just so happens that the comments regarding the goals of implied by the structure of SD2-S, were met by your following comment: “You are getting it. The power is far too distributed to be easily hijacked by a special interest..” So one more reason to pool efforts if goals are seemingly agreed on by everyone.
I did mean Mark in the “you may be linked” to the www.truthmapping.com and the question on centrality algorithms was primarily intended for him (but of course anyone else is more than welcome to point me to relevant resources).
On the points you discuss, I think we’ve pretty much reached agreement. I have been unclear when stating “one proxy per issue” – in the larger scheme of things it would be one proxy per issue domain, and assuming one such proxy would probably share his workload with more specialized proxies dealing with other people willing to be proxies looking at some subtopics in depth. So here again, agreed with what you’re saying.
Finally, about Beyond Politics World Services, if we’re talking tools, I don’t think there’s a need. It seems the purpose of this group, or at least a large part of its participants is already to make TOP politics practical by designing effective opensource tools that could be made available to anyone willing to give TOP structures a go.
Best regards,
Serge
