Dave Volek is a friend who has been working on a political system that he calls Tiered, Democratic Governance.
It is worth looking at.
Dave Volek’s summary on Foundation: https://medium.com/tiered-democratic-governance/asimov-foundation-democracy-26ea4578e49d Asimov was a good story teller. He never got fancy with language.
It’s good to see Dave is still writing. His idea is interesting, but as with all new political systems, the big question is how to get there (even to the level of forming a prototype).
He’s a nice guy Neil. I like his ideas but, as you say, I can’t see a practical way of getting there.
