Ultimate Political Synthesis

Everyone's talking about global elites wanting more control, which is valid enough. Yet no one's talking about why they want more control.

Okay, so here are the four biggest social (political) global problems from a long-term focus today:

1. Lack of control for efficient (humane) population stability.

2. Lack of control for eugenics to fight dysgenic decay. [see here]

3. Lack of control to resist serious, technologically-driven terrorism.

4. Lack of control to securely resist steady environmental decay, especially from gross over-consumption.

I can talk about these issues in detail, and I have done so, but the point is we need to look at these concerns and deal with them. Yet we don't. We, the people, push them aside with sweeping rationalisations because we are uncomfortable with the topics. All we typically care about is the short term, believing that the long term will take care of itself or is somebody else's problem.

We also have the relentless preaching of "My freedoms, My rights!" which I empathise with. But guess what; survival trumps even libertarian ideals. Libertarianism must still exist within the boundaries of responsible global management. It's not as simple as letting the free market rip and giving people everything they want, though I wish it was.

The result, is that we have the World Economic Forum and other internationalist organisations doing our job for us, and [maybe rightly] ignoring the democratic process because we, the people, will not do our job.

So there's a split. We have an elite that takes care of long-term thinking, with the power of virtually limitless monies and considerable institutional control, treating us like sheep that won't look ahead because that, alas, is exactly how we act.

The ideal political syntheses is what will happen when the gap between elite thinking and public thinking is closed, so that both parties are rationally accountable to each other. Surely that's more healthy? At the least, it can give us more comfortable agreements - so more comfortable outcomes. 

For example, forced urban intensification, which deliberately makes housing unaffordable and probably to the end of suppressing fertility, is a painful way of doing population stability. If we could accept direct caps on fertility (that are reasonable) then we could have our houses back, thanks.

How do we achieve this?

Jacinda Ardern, Justin Trudeau, Bill Gates, Vladimir Putin and others have attended the WEF young world leaders group. No doubt, in their political family they were taught to think about global problems like what I highlighted at the beginning of this article. So, these issues have almost certainly become a major part of their cognitive reality. Great. So why not present these 'grand problems' to youth in highschools, as well? Why not make these problems part of the publics reality, as well? Do we really want fallible people like Ardern having an in-house monopoly on the most important conversations of our time?
