Civil Individualism is a political philosophy that believes sovereignty lies with individuals. Institutions are created by individuals to achieve mutual benefits and protect freedoms, but also threaten harm. The philosophy advocates for systems of checks and balances on all institutions to constrain flaws and prevent abuses of power. It recognizes both strengths and weaknesses of individuals and institutions, and seeks to maximize freedom through consensual oversight rather than ideological preferences for certain institutions.
Frivolous Bureaucracy: When did governance outgrow common sense?Brienne Thomson
Despite the expression, “Two heads are better than one,” there is a limit to the amount of collaborative eyes-and-ears at which rationality and efficiency get lost. Just as in economic diseconomies of scale, when the size of a factory becomes too big, costs climb faster than output. The “too” bigness leads to coordination problems that result in miscommunications and decisions being made that are just as unwieldy as the bureaucratic beast the factory has become. And all of this – this bureaucratic irrationality that is seen as so ‘normal’ today – began as an innocent desire for peace and security.1 This tranquil need in the hearts of man was eventually externalized, or as Edward T. Hall coined, “extended, and carried on outside the body,” from which we developed our governmental protectorate. And as it continued to snowball into today’s capitalistic fight to be bigger, better and faster, this “extension” has transferred into something completely unlike its intent.

1. The cost of getting new life insurance depends on how old you are, and how old you are depends on what year you were born. Provide an example of a composite function using these variables.
2. The amount of time it takes to get to work depends on how much traffic there is, and the amount of traffic there is depends on what time of day it is. If we call the amount of traffic C and the time of day t, then C is a function of t. If we call the time it takes to get to work W, then W is a function of C. Provide an example of a composite function using these variables.
3. Make up your own example of a composite function. Be sure to explain (1) what your variables are, (2) how they are represented in the function, and (3) which elementary functions are combined to form the composite function.

Individualism is an idea that has operated in numerous
countries for several hundred years or more. It is most often tied
to the United States, when Thomas Jefferson insisted the
government function as an entity that sought to serve the rights
and freedoms of the individual instead of to interfere with them
and provoked the authoring of the Bill of Rights. Jeffersonian
views were only partly individualist, however, since the Bill of
Rights did nothing to protect slaves or Native Americans. True
individualistic doctrine would oppose such a stance today.
Essentially, when a person endorses individualism, they believe
that the person's rights are far more important than the rights of
any collective group (government or society) provided those
rights are not exercised in a way that harms others. Exactly
what the definition of "harm" is, is a highly debatable issue. A
businessman who dumps pollutants into a lake might be viewed
as exercising harmful behavior or not, depending on
interpretation. Some individualists may argue against taxes
collected to serve the common good, the necessity of public
schooling, regulatory agencies established by governments, or
any laws that inhibit rights. They would especially oppose the
idea that society was a collective unit (often called collectivism),
and that people needed legislation to be responsible or to take
care of each other.
Interestingly, individualism is frequently associated with the
extreme right in the US, but this is not an easy marriage. While

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

25. Left unchecked, the abuses of our institutions have been amongst our most shameful, from the initial legality of slavery and the internment camps of WWII, through the Enron & WorldCom frauds, to the pedophile priest scandal.
44. This “bi-polar” framework often hinders us from identifying universal patterns & tends to restrict our solutions to only those 2 institutional types.
47. Republicans generally argue that our problems stem from governmental institutions, but usually ignore problems caused by corporate institutions.
48. Libertarians more consistently argue against governmental abuses, but remain relatively silent on the problems posed by corporate institutions and flawed free market mechanisms and beliefs.
The purpose of this presentation is to introduce the concept of Civil Individualism (CI), and to outline (many of) its major tenets.We are seeking to engage concerned and politically-aware Americans of any political party affiliation (or none at all). We want to start a constructive dialogue about both the tenets of Civil Individualism themselves, and also about how we might best begin to implement (apply) the philosophy on a more widespread basis.The central arguments/points contained in this presentation will be amplified, re-organized, summarized, simplified and/or expanded as necessary to first spread an understanding of Civil Individualism as widely as possible, and then to begin to apply it, initially in the United States, and then more widely abroad.The concepts being presented will be re-packaged in whatever form(s) are best suited to their widespread communication, whether in book, pamphlet, blog, web-site, broadcast, video, podcast and/or e-book form.We refer to Civil Individualism as a “modern” philosophy primarily in the sense that it is a timely response to the shortcomings of our current philosophies, and the deterioration of political debate within the United States. The concepts themselves build on prior advances in political philosophy, primarily those of the American Founding Fathers and the advocates of the Libertarian schools of thought.
Political philosophy is a branch of philosophy, which studies fundamental questions concerning the social or communal life of human beings. It inquires into a broad range of questions, such as the principles of justification of power and social governance, the grounds for the justification of certain forms of government, social obligations of constituting members of a society, and the origin, nature, and purpose of government. (New World Encyclopedia)“Sovereignty is the exclusive right to exercise supreme political (e.g. legislative, judicial, and/or executive) authority over a geographic region, group of people, or oneself." (from the Latin superanus, supremacy) In a demorcacy, sovereignty is considered to reside with the individual citizens. (WikiAnswers)Civil Individualism differs from other political philosophies in that it embraces an even-handed assessment of all institutional types, recognizing both their benefits and their threats to individuals. CI considers government institutions to be only one form of institution, although an obviously particularly important one.Civil individualism assumes both the existence and justification for all institutional types, and focuses instead on the conscious creation of effective controls over the potential abuses by all institutions.
