Day 93 - A New Kind of Politics
This is a repost from my facebook yesterday.
In light of the ICE agent shooting Renee Good, there is an extreme polarization happening.
I saw the videos from multiple angles.
It is horrible that she got shot and died.
Why that entire situation happened? We could speculate all day.
This was an outflow of an extremely tense situation and quick decisions that resulted in a loss of life which is a tragedy.
This is the way I make sense of it so we can create solutions where this kind of situation does not need to happen.
THE ORIGINAL POST
A thought experiment - SUSPEND YOUR JUDGMENTENT FOR A MOMENT AND JUST READ THIS -
I mean, truly, if we had a way to verify that the decisions would not be detrimental to anyone involved , to the absolute best of our ability, would we vote for it?
I’m talking to basic things we can all agree on like clean water, nutritious food, shelter, effective education, not harming each other, having basic respect and understanding… all of these things - engineered into how we make decisions collectively through laws and social agreement
And obviously, it’s not gonna happen overnight, but it would require a group of individuals standing for this and actively co-creating this…
And for the sake of the thought experiment, just imagine we could objectively prove this that we could make decisions that minimize any consequence and maximize collective benefit …
Would you vote for that? I know I would 
We are at a dangerous point where people are so polarized and choosing one side and not willing to look at the other …
Where I see the only way through is solutions that are win-win-win
Good for you, good for me, good for everyone, including the planet.
What’s the alternative we just polarize ourselves into a straight up Civil War?
And create decades worth of consequence because we can’t see eye to eye on anything?
With all the people in the world and all the intelligence and money that we have, can’t we figure this out and reason it from first principles?
Are we gonna work to ways to see how we can actually figure out real solutions where we see the humanity and work towards solutions?
For example, right now, if the average person is in survival mode and can barely pay their bills and they are stressed out it’s extremely hard to thrive and make effective decisions…
We live in a system that does not support the average person whatsoever and these tensions escalate.
It is my intention and it is what I’m here to do - to figure out these solutions into established principles that we can all agree on with basic common sense
Even If the average person cant comprehend this yet, i see this Is worth dedicating myself to
Figure out how we can make the world best for everyone, and that starts in little solutions and steps. A WILLINGNESS.
It happens in the steps we need to take - every single day and the willingness to take self responsibility.
And obviously, education, REAL education is gonna be a key part of this. If we cannot communicate and agree on basic definitions of words, it’s gonna be impossible. But there are ways we can figure this out together
