Some evolution for democracy
March 31st 2009 07:28
Hey all,
To give some simple examples for starters:
. you want to change your car. Would you ask your kid about advise?
. you want to cook a meal for your girl. Will you ask your rugbymen friends on what should you do?
. you're choosing a place to live in Australia. Would you ask the advise of a Frenchmen?
Please, don't try to distort the thing. I know that we can allways find a kid that dominates the unbelievable things that cars can do today; there's allways a rugbymen that know how to cook; there are some Frenchmen in Australia.
The idea behind is: when you have to take decisions on some matters, you ask the experts. Even if your kid is going to ride the car you're going to buy, he's not to take a part of the decision, or at least your going to make a ponderation on his opinions.
The same goes for the hole society. Today we elect people who sometimes is completely incapable of taking decisions in some matters, and worst, they don't even want to learn. Democracy is a good step towards a equalitarian society, but now we should start checking the problems on it.
As Nietzsche used to say, democracy is the magnification of mediocraty. In the way we're organised today, we have to admit, it's true.
So after some good discussions with my girlfriend, I got to a set of rules that should make our society rule better:
- define a "recours aux experts" following some rules to avoid oligarchies to dominate:
. the ensemble who is considered expert is the most educated 1/X of the population in a specific matter
. there are Y different domains of expertise, and a member of population cannot be a part of more of Y/Z domains of expertise.
- Harmonise the access to education (it means that if there is something that the state must be responsible of is education) so that there is no discrepancies in the meritology. Today it is easy for rich kids to talk about merit, they went to study in the best schools, so there is no competition for them..if you want to have an equal society with "recours aux experts", this is a major point.
X, Y and Z are integers that have to be less than 10:
- X have to be less than 10 to avoid that too small groups dominate society.
- Y to avoid complexity of the organisation
- Z to avoid that one person be part of all decisions, but that some people have more domains of expertise than others.
I'll try to discuss more about it later; have to go to work!
cheers.
