Now, how is everything to be put into effect in an environment: where transparency in government is not acceptable because all these innovative features are going to ruin the game; Where buttressing influences such as mainstream media are going to suddenly find themselves without a product; Where reductionist thought structures still hold sway so the wholistic viewpoint is simply incomprehensible? And etc., and etc. Am I being negative? No, just realistic. I've been battling for this kind of environment all my life. You just get written off as a sacrifice to the God of the status quo. You mention Plato. 'Democracy breeds complacency and therein lies its downfall.' I can't wait. Hello,
I agree with every word.
Now, how is everything to be put into effect in an environment:

where transparency in government is not acceptable because all these innovative features are going to ruin the game;
Where buttressing influences such as mainstream media are going to suddenly find themselves without a product;
Where reductionist thought structures still hold sway so the wholistic viewpoint is simply incomprehensible?
And etc., and etc.

Am I being negative?
No, just realistic.
I’ve been battling for this kind of environment all my life.
You just get written off as a sacrifice to the God of the status quo.
You mention Plato.
‘Democracy breeds complacency and therein lies its downfall.’
I can’t wait.
