-M: To add: ‘volunteer activities’ also means nonprofit, and ‘political endevors’ doesn’t mean that the political system in its entirety would be PD – simply having one or more major parties organized as PDs would suffice.

-M: OK, Karl, I made you happy and I am glad. :-) I seems my breakthrough is in communicating a common ground, not actually in newly forming a common ground.
Wasn’t it obvious that SD2 creates generative conditions for PD? Wasn’t it obvious that SD2-Smartocracy is PD?
What now, Karl? I say that AD with an SD2 umbrella is a superior form of PD than SD2 with an AD umbrella. With my system, all participants could recieve a generalist political rank – and the top ranked would be the organizers of the specialists.It seems that with your system, the top generalists would be largely unknown, and the top administrators would be chosen merely for their ability to administer.
I see this as abuse prone because the top administrators may have different agendas than the top generalists, and may want to skew the andminitration of law in their favor.
