Musings on a world I am no longer sure about
roomba and me. And a little bit of politics.
I had a dream last night. In my dream, I came home. It wasn’t my real home though, it was something I remember from my childhood. When I got home I was in receipt of my post. It was the roomba I bought on eBay. dirty, dusty, brushes missing.
The rest of the dream was about the end of the world.
I have strange dreams!
Now, all I can think of is “I had a dream last night. It was the same dream”.
Politics is annoying me. We should ditch the entire lot of them and start from scratch.
They’re all generally self serving gits that believe they know how the country should be run as opposed to genuinely listening to what we believe should happen.
So. New Democracy. Everyone asked their opinion on matters directly. We have the technology, why not do it? We could elect people to come up with ideas (politicians) and then once they’ve come up with an idea we (interested parties) vote on it.
New Democracy II.
Instead of voting for parties, we vote for positions. Government split into discrete areas, experts in those areas are elected by people to run those areas. No overall leadership.
Although I much prefer the choosing at random of people from the public to serve for a year at a time (much like juries) with the guidance of civil servants and the backing of referenda for the public to have a say.
