we still need the starting block. and that starting block has unbalanced shares of influence.

I think that just about summarises the entire problem.

Here here.

As we stand market forces are our religion. The Dollar is God, the World Bank and IMF it’s disciples.

another question has sprung to mind.
is democracy even the best tool for the job?

I often wonder the same thing. I take a different route of reasoning as to why though. I find democracy a little short sighted, half of the time the latest policy is a vote winner not a sensibly thought out way forward.

we often asume that this would be the method of government for the world, but what if we were to create an entirely different system. a system where everyone is given fair political influence, influece that could change dynamically taking into consideration a massive number of factors

or is that just too much of a pipe dream? to idealistic? dangerous even?

I would love to hear your (anyones) views on what you feel these factors are and what kind of system would mange to to give everyone fair and relative power.

I occasionally try to imagine what the “new way” will be. But I always hit the same stumbling blocks of human greed, distrust and logistics.
