moral high ground, universal values, truth

a natural justice vs criminal justice

rebuilding the FEARless CITIZEN

authoritarianism, totalitarianism

gaslighting, an extreme creative criminality, neo-terrorism on the individual

CREATING THE CONDITIONS SO THAT FUTURE UKRAINES WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN

• Eliminate loopholes and related societal harm in 20 years

• Eliminate all common crime in 13 years, alongside a tech-driven gaslighting in 7 years

• Deliver a new Natural Justice that makes it impractical for future Putins to exert their power

• Act legally from now on – everyone, everywhere, without exception

#BuildingtheFEARlessCITIZEN

Our Need: #NoFutureUkraines

The need is self-evident: the state sponsored and private-sector tech-driven gaslighting of Ukraine, Europe, and even a wider world economy, leading to a constant socioeconomic dislocation, needs not only to be stopped now, but anticipated more proactively in the future. This future needs to be a collective one, too: not only a future we can one day all look forward to, but a shared future present. No more jam tomorrow …

What #Ukraine is Suffering: Hyper-Creative Criminality

There is a concept from the 19th century called “dark figure”. It invokes the idea that maybe 2040 percent of all criminal activity is invisible to our current systems. It’s hard to prove, of course; by its very nature. But if in the 19th century it was considered thus, reconsider now – in a hugely technological time of constant and effervescent change –whether it could be any less …

Mil’s Theorem says the following:

“If I, with my limited intellectual and financial resources, can imagine a creative new way of committing criminal acts, someone with more of both resources will already have considered and be acting on it. Ergo, we don’t, in digital times, need to evidence in traditional ways that new crimes exist. We only have to think them up for us to realise they assail us somehow.”

Our Problem: Technology, Individuals, and Teams

The hyper-criminality already mentioned arches over Western and related democratic cycles.

An example: Putin’s Russia is able to freely and secretly strategise the long-term dislocation of our socioeconomic and sociomilitary infrastructures and dynamics, impacting dramatically on our levels of trust in each other, as well as our ability to duly focus on achieving an ongoing sense of real purpose. Our technology is hyper-vigilant it’s true, but Putin’s terrible nonconformism remains impervious to us:

Meantime, our own capacity to fight back in as creatively nonconformist ways as those of our enemies is fatally influenced by the hyper-vigilance of our total-surveillance philosophies, which impact on our shared capacity to think as freely as we used to, much more than it now does on our enemies:

This is the situation, then, as I now see it:

• our technology fails to hobble the creative criminals as we would prefer, even as it hinders our own capacity to think as ingeniously as we might – and they do

• as individuals trapped more and more in self-serving machines, increasingly failing to reach the heights of nonconformist thinking enabled by the early days of computer technology – when it was nothing more than a PC with a hard drive that only we saw the contents of – we are also failing our citizens as professionals and ourselves as human beings

And by so doing, we not only continue to enable this Russian invasion of Ukraine, but will surely enable many more in the future.

This #phd proposal was designed in Stockholm Sweden in 2023, when I first encountered the Swedish way at fairly close hand:

https://www.sverige2.earth

This proposal here uses a basic discourse and structure built out of four bootcamps, in three documents.

1. Who wants in? Bootcamps 1 & 2 — achieving consensus and buy-in

2. Who wants in? Bootcamp 3: Go-to-market — for investor functions

3. Who wants in? Bootcamp 4: “Building the FEARless CITIZEN” — #theAIMproposition

Whilst consensus is always a positive where it leads to purposeful politics and decisions that benefit natural justice, it’s not always the best yardstick of decision-making in times of real fracture such as now.

This author will therefore always take the position that the moral high ground will always need to trump the majority opinion, where the latter clearly lacks, chooses to lack, or lacks through a manifest decision to remain ignorant of the matters being debated at any particular time.

To quote Peter Levine, the US civic thinker, amongst many other things:

‘Often, we think that a process is “democratic” if everyone has an equal voice or impact–or at least an equal right to have an impact–on public decisions. Government is “efficient,” on the other hand, if it works well, generating public goods and reducing public “bads.”

These two values may conflict. Mussolini is said to have made the trains run on time. I am on a plane, so I cannot check whether that is true, but if it is, it would be an example of efficiency without democracy. On the other hand, an endless meeting may be democratic but is not efficient. Given the complexities of administering large institutions, it seems that democratic values should predominate when major decisions are made (usually in elections and legislation). Efficiency should become paramount at the phase of implementation or administration, when the people’s will is enacted by professionals.

[…] What people actually talk about and try to accomplish when they participate democratically is solving problems. Politics is not a sport, in which rival teams compete for the love of the game. It is a purposive activity that matters only to the extent that problems are solved. A democratic process that is totally inefficient is worse than annoying and discouraging. It is actually a kind of contradiction. People can’t come together as equals to solve problems but not solve the problems. The proper measure of “democracy” encompasses efficiency as well as equality.

Several points follow. First, if there is a tradeoff between equality of voice and efficiency, the conflict is internal to democracy. We may sometimes have to bite the bullet and reduce equality to enhance efficiency, in the name of democracy. On the other hand, if we value both, we should work to reduce the tradeoff. When equal voice enhances efficient outcomes, we have a clear win.’
