This document proposes establishing a new democratic system called "World People Power" to replace capitalist systems. It discusses the founding of the US democratic system and notes that democracy is at risk of failure or corruption. It argues that current US political and economic systems are dominated by wealthy elites and fail to uphold democratic values. A new approach is needed that strengthens democratic principles and popular sovereignty.

Democracy. Democracy. Democracy. (D3)
By Vigdor Lurye-Schreibman.2
Benjamin Franklin
“Well, Doctor, what have we got – a Republic or a Monarchy?”
“A Republic, if you can keep it.”
The response is attributed to American Inventor, Political Leader, Scientist, and Writer
Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)—at the close of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, when
queried as he left Independence Hall on the final day of deliberation—in the notes of Dr.
James McHenry, one of Maryland’s delegates to the Convention.3 Earlier the same day
1 See, Lincoln's Gettysburg Address
2 Mr. Lurye-Schreibman is a master of knowledge organization and knowledge management, and Webmaster
of FINS GLOBAL INFORMATION AGE LIBRARY for the past twenty years, without fee.
3 McHenry’s notes were first published in The American Historical Review, vol. 11, 1906, and the anecdote on
p. 618 reads: “A lady asked Dr. Franklin Well Doctor what have we got a republic or a monarchy. A republic
replied the Doctor if you can keep it.” When McHenry’s notes were included in The Records of the Federal
convention of 1787, ed. Max Farrand, vol. 3, appendix A, p. 85 (1911, reprinted 1934).

2. Franklin made a speech to the Convention in which he stated, in part:
“Sir, I agree to this Constitution with all its faults, if they are such; because I think a
general Government necessary for us, and there is no form of Government but what may
be a blessing to the people if well administered, and believe farther that this is likely to be
well administered for a course of years, and can only end in Despotism, as other forms
have done before it, when the people shall become so corrupted as to a despotic
Government, being incapable of any other.”
I want to emphasize here Franklin's direct challenge from the very moment of birth of the
nation this Constitution was not a permanent form of the American charter of Government but
“can only end in Despotism, as other forms have done before it, when the people shall
become so corrupted as to a despotic Government, being incapable of any other.”
The disintegration of civilizations is traced In the 12- volume magnum opus of British historian
Arnold J. Toynbee, A Study of History, finished in 1961. In this work Toynbee traces the
development and decay of all of the major world civilizations in the historical record. Toynbee
applies his model to each of these civilizations, detailing the stages through which they all
pass: genesis, growth, time of troubles, universal state, and disintegration.4
Caution should be observed in this field of historical theory. For example, there are several
fascinating theories about the average lifespan of a nation, calculated to be 200 years,
revealing the USA is now past its prime, but these theories have been shown to be mostly
false. We can always remake our civil government if we possess or can discover the
collective will, just as Jefferson suggested: "Every generation needs a revolution."
Indeed, “He who would be free must strike the first blow. “ Frederick Douglass. This is our
commandment:T”This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it.
Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their
constitutional right of amending it, or their revolutionary right to dismember or
overthrow it.” Abraham Lincoln.
We know something about the illegitimacy of court doctrine and popular hatred of lawyers at
the birth of the nation, which turned the citizenry livid with rage into violent rebellion against
courts and elected government, as exemplified in Shay's Rebellion praised by Jefferson.5 The
threat of despotism in the Judiciary of the United States from its original “irresponsible”
structure, which remains the frame for Justice in America in the 21st century, was of special
concern to statesmen during the 19th century, including the first Democrat, Thomas
Jefferson,6 and the first Republican, Abraham Lincoln.7
From this inauspicious beginning “We the People” have worked ourselves into one glorious
mess guided by an evolutionary mindset of “ignorance and lunacy” in politics, economics, and
religion,8 which threatens all life and liberty on the Planet Earth. This article offers a concrete
proposal for “the reconstruction of society in a new institutional framework,”9 which is how the
United States was established, see K. Phillips, infra, note 9, to secure political supremacy of
the people under Republican Government, supplanting corrupt money-powers of the 1%.

3. Hieronymus Bosch, The Ship of Fools
c. 1490-1500 (220 Kb);
Oil on wood, 58 x 33 cm (23 x 13");
Musee du Louvre, WebMuseum, Paris. Nicolas Pioch
In The Ship of Fools Bosch is imagining that the whole of
mankind is voyaging through the seas of time on a ship, a small
ship, that is representative of humanity. Sadly, every one of the
representatives is a fool. This is how we live, says Bosch--we
eat, dring, flirt, cheat, play silly games, pursue unattainable
objectives. Meanwhile our ship drifts aimlessly and we never
reach the harbour. The fools are not the irreligious, since
prominent among them are a monk and a nun, but they are all
those who live ``in stupidity''. Bosch laughs, and it is sad laugh.
Which one of us does not sail in the wretched discomfort of the
ship of human folly? Eccentric and secret genius that he was,
Bosch not only moved the heart but scandalized it into full
awareness. The sinister and monstrous things that he brought
forth are the hidden creatures of our inward self-love: he
externalizes the ugliness within, and so his misshapen demons
have an effect beyond curiosity. We feel a hateful kinship with
them. The Ship of Fools is not about other people, it is about us.
A “dialogue with unreason”10 in
the Constitutional Order of the
United States of America.
The level of deaths in the US due to violence
against children and youth is staggering. Young
children are at greatest risk of physical violence.11
Americans need “action” against gun crime in the
US President Obama tearfully reflected in his
address to remedy the heartbreaking tragedy of 20 children and six adults killed in horrific
shootings at a kindergarten class of Sandy Hook Elementary School,12 in Newtown Conn.
Dec 14, 2012. However, violent crime against children is not a simple problem of gun control.
Strict gun control laws, in Chicago for instance, have not stemmed a flood of gun violence.
In contrast to simplistic explanations, an ‘ecological model’ is needed to help understand the
multi-level, multi-faceted nature of violence.13 The anguished debate over gun control is a
tragic cover story for a culture of violence that has historically dominated capitalist society,14
paralyzed, unwilling or unable to remedy America's deep moral failures. People who possess
moral sensitivity a natural attribute of cultural evolution Darwin discovered,15 obviously do
not shoot and kill kindergarten children whether or not guns are available! By Mar 27, 2013,
Democratic leaders in Congress “folded their tents on comprehensive gun control.” A few
days later, on Apr 4, 2013, Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy signed what advocacy groups
call “the strongest and most comprehensive gun legislation in the nation.”

4. We are just “whistling in the dark” to think of building an advanced technological civilization,
greatly amplifying natural human powers,16 without moral sensitivity.17 David Loye, the
acclaimed psychologist and evolutionary systems scientist, founder of the multinational
Darwin Project with a council of over fifty leading American, European, and Asian scientists
and educators, has reported on the lunacy of heavy, culture making, publicity given to the
philosophy of “Social Darwinism” and the “survival of the fittest”18 advanced by the English
philosopher Herbert Spencer (1820–1903), whose discredited laissez-faire ideology, has no
moral sensitivity but is now the cultural fountainhead of the New Aristocracy of money driven
politics and “free market” fundamentalism. These dire social and cultural innovations are
driven by the “nothingness of unreason” as Michel Foucault the great French philosopher of
madness and civilization called it, in which the language of Nature had died forever.19
The value free ideologies that drive the 1%, with the dire consequences we are now
experiencing, are powered by the electronic media monopoly. This is sanctioned by the
corrupt mindset of members of the judiciary (known as “cognitive capture”),20 to establish the
hi-tech feudalism telecommunications infrastructure serving plutocrats.
Almost two decades ago I wrote about the frightening cultural context of youth violence in THE
CAPITAL AND CAPITOL HILL, a 3-part series originally published in Washington's Hill Rag.
Part 1, Propagating a counter-culture of madness (FINS, Sept 17, 1993);
Part 2, A setting for madness (FINS, Oct 1, 1993); and
Part 3, The triumph of Jeffersonian Democracy (FINS, Nov 5, 1993 ).
This foundation for social and political catastrophe is nested in an economic system driven by
"Free market" fundamentalism, described by the insanely great economist Joseph Stiglitz,
in Globalization and Its Discontents (2002), and in The Price of Inequality (2012). These
books provide a careful and searching examination of the “colossal” failures of the American
markets and government. Zombies of the living dead really do exercise control,21 under
those lunatic doctrines serving the superrich 1% while placing in bondage the rest of us 99%.
Stiglitz (2012) suggests there is no remedy for this situation unless the superrich wake up to
their democratic responsibilities. Maybe, but that just tells us we need real tramsformative
change. A democratic political economy cannot be built upon the old capitalist system or the
mind-sets that now sustain it. Such a radical shift in values demands, "the partial replacement
of the prior paradigm."22 Indeed, Klaus Schwab, Founder of the World Economic Forum, has
observed: “capitalism in its current form, has no place in the world around us.” We await the
arrival of “disruptive innovation in politics, government, and political participation” that lies just
over the horrizon, as charted by Moisés Naím, in The End of Power 243 (2013). It's coming!

Richard Dawkins, in his memoir “An Appetite for Wonder” (2013) says, at 261-62, he intendedThe Selfish
Gene (1976) to be a “best seller”; indeed, it was a very successful scam artfully disregarding both Darwin
and the topic of cultural evolution -- the superstructure of human progress – described by Loye, infra, at 89-
92, following Darwin, in The Descent of Man (Princeton U. Press 1871/1881). Dawkins now states his “best
seller” was inexplicably promoted by “more than 100 mostly favorable reviews,” at 281-82, correcting an
earlier history of the book, in The Royal Society (Jan 2007): “The daily press took less notice than both
the publisher and the author had hoped.” Shaping social and political agendas of privileged groups that
dominate the global order was described by Herman and Chomsky, in Manufacturing Consent (1988).

5. The great economic power shift is from countries of the North to those below the 31st parallel
-- the “Global TILT” -- perhaps, driving transformation to democratic sustainability.
This shift is sorely needed. Government, especially in the USA, can't fix the rising political
corruptions of political parties, police, public officials/civil servants, parliament/legislature, and
judiciary, reports a Global Survey published by CBS News July 9, 2013. Win/Gallup's
International poll, six months later, with Full Coverage by Google News, Jan 2, 2014
revealed once again that people from around the world consider the U.S. as "the biggest
threat to world peace." Approximately 1,000 people were surveyed in each of the 65 nations
polled, a total of over 65,000 respondents. In what was, certainly, the most critical
commentary, "An overwhelming 87 percent believed that the U.S. posed the greatest peril-including
allies and opponents-and had succeeded in making the world a more dangerous
place," says the World News Correspondent Dallas Darling .
Only the sovereign democratic powers of the united citizenry can remedy the collosal “free
market” capitalist fundamentalist systemic failures. Conversely, the competition for
supremacy of governmental powers combined with the powers of private industry have
annihilated the supreme sovereign powers of the citizenry. The 99% -- We the People – are
the avowed rulers of American democracy. This is the very idea of a genuine democracy;
nevertheless, the 1% have turned this commitment of the nation upside down by a money-power
game exercising total control in open defiance of the American charter of Government.
Development of a democratic Union of the people, arising from the collective will of the
People, was explicitly intended by the first clause of the Preamble. Indeed, this is the
fundamental purpose of the US Constitution! This Union of the People is the vital source of
the political power of the 99%, just as money is the source of the political power of the1%.
Nevertheless, the struggle to obtain a genuine democratic Union out of America's great
diversity has, until now, defeated the ability of Americans, blighted by an “assault on the
mind” by market elites, and other mysterious barriers.23
The pursuit of wisdom facilitated by dialogue is needed to guide integration of our great
diversity into a genuine Union of the People to realize the promise of democracy established
in the Preamble to the US Constitution. Democratic dialogue is not political warfare or a
shouting match governed by Robert's Rules; it is the task of the third branch of the Science
of Discovery (following Mathematics and Philosophy) identified as Idioscopy by polymath
Charles S. Peirce (1838-1914) embracing Human Sciences for accumulation of new facts.24
Democratic rule by the people supported by idioscopy could not be driven by “free market”
fundamentalism or “disaster capitalism,” nor by the ideal of “competitive elitism” proposed
by Schumpeter (1883-1960). These ideologies are no model of democracy. They are all
dependent upon the lunacy of depriving the people of their indispensable sustaining Union.25
The US Government and big business sectors engaged in a naked power struggle have failed
to fulfill the explicit purpose of the Constitution: genuine Union of the People. A democratic
Union of the people would defeat the fascist union of the US Government and big business
sectors. It would make citizens not Government-Industry elites “masters of the situation.”26

or some assistance to the senses, either instrumental or given by training, together with unusual diligence,
has put within the power of its students.” V.G. Potter, Charles S. Peirce On Norms and Ideals 22-23 (1997).

6. An infrastructure for The pursuit of wisdom and democracy must be established to give
concrete substance and direction to the collective will of the People. A boundary spanning
technology for development of this infrastructure is needed, which is free as the flowing
streams, without anyone blocking anyone else. This process must be inclusive, allowing a
“dialogue with unreason.”27 There must be a participatory architecture as previously stated:
“we see the merging of minds into community wisdom, flowing together like a musical
score,” in which, “the citizen-participants who are the 'content-experts' of group
dialogue, to convey their ideas to the unfolding group-mind. A unique Structured Design
Dialogue (SDD) proces divides the group dialogue into role responsibilities of context,
content, and process. This frees citizen-participants to concentrate on the content of
their ideas. A running script of the proceedings is produced with computer support to
ease the integration of new knowledge and information. The intent is to build patterned
interactions among stakeholders in a socially produced linguistic domain of shared
vocabulary, and to engage them in designing social systems that integrate their diverse
cognitive realities into community wisdom. The SDD design team provides a context for
the dialogue that prevents the emergence of group pathologies during the design work.
The SDD content process relieves the participants of the unshakable burdens of dialogue
by unbundling the complexity of the dialogue into easily assimilated relational patterns
graphically illustrated to augment the linear nature of dialogue. SDD gives attention to
the inherent lack of consensus on values, priorities, norms of truth and behavior,
expectations for the future, and the use of competing interpretations of complex
situations. The SDD blocks the traditional "competition of ideas" that yields only one
winner and marks everyone else as loosers. SDD is designed, instead, to emancipate all
participants in a collaborative, strong consensus building mode of association that
always respects the autonomy of participants and the authenticity of their ideas while
striving for multidimensional comprehensiveness that integrates diversity.

terms.

7. The Structured Dialogic Design (SDD) software has not been released under a free software
license such as the GNU General Public License (GNU GPL). Concerted efforts to prohibit
use of existing software under dubious patents,29 imposed by Dr. Alexander N. Christakis and
his tightly knit group of trusted associates (The Christakis “mafia”), breaks the long standing
promise of the pursuit of wisdom defining the purpose of SDD. Consequently, new software
should be produced from public domain models I possess, with a guarantee of equal access.
At the University of Virginia, in July 1980, John Warfield and Aleco Christakis convened a
Workshop on "A Users Guide to Public Systems Methodologies" sponsored by the National
Science Foundation. This provided an opportunity to evaluate various methods for group
"consensus building." I was a discussion leader in the 1980 NSF Workshop. Warfield and
Christakis were thrown out of UVA, in 1984, Aleco informed me, because their ”Interactive
Management” process lacked an effective value driven management system. The Center for
Interactive Management was relocated, in 1984, to George Mason University at Fairfax,
Virginia. Christakis was thrown out of GMU, in 1989, after he sexually raped a young intern.30
The Christakis mafia now complain about my description of the “free market” fundamentalist
lunatics identified by the most highly qualified economists, educators, and evolutionary
systems scientists whose published works are quoted in this article.31 Those complaints
prove, the Christakis mafia, says, that I do not have the requsite skills to reliably use the
knowledge management computer software.32 They insist upon “an open and warm-hearted
dialogue” without any sanction against the self-destructive capitalist status quo. However, this
preferred policy is not effective. Preventative sanctions are essential to overcome large scale
deeply embedded powerfully supported pathological barriers of “free market” fundamentalism.
Reliance upon the implicit value systems that support the status quo, is not sustainable.33
Moreover, profound empirical evidence shows 'the possibility of sanctioning norm violators
stabilizes human cooperation.”34 The Christakis mafia has obstinately adopted a spurious
knowledge management system rejected by eminent educators, business managers, and
scientists.35 The law of value-free planning is no foundation "For Betterment of Humankind."36
We live in an unpredictable civilization, affected by beauty and ugliness, good and evil, with
“ignorance and lunacy” versus “reason, caring and sharing” in politics economics and religion.
29 See authorities, infra, note 28.
30 I was informed of this incident by Dr. Christakis' wife, when I called their home in Chantilly, VA, after their
return from summer vacation in Greece, in 1988. Christakis told his wife he raped the young woman
because she was having sex with her friends while serving as a “house sitter” at the Christakis home.

32 An email sent to me by Norma Romm 02/28/2013, says: that some people “do not trust your using the
software in the spirit of an open and warm-hearted dialogue.” On Apr 15, 2013, Norma Romm, Prof. of
Adult Education, University of South Africa endorsed me in Linkedin for the skill and expertise of
“Teaching.” On July 15, 2013, Kevin Dye, Institute for 21st century Agoras, chief scholar on design
science, probably the world’s premier scholar into the work of John Warfield, endorsed me on July 15, 2013,
for my skills and expertise in, Organizational Development, and Workshop Facilitation, plus eight other fields.

8. In group dialogue one can compare the driving values of ideas generated, searching for a
viable model for futures creation in the pursuit of wisdom and democracy. Paralyzed by
incommensurable viewpoints partial replacement of the old paradigm is needed to make room
for the new, Kuhn, infra, note 22. Now Systems Sciences has proposed a new paradigm:
“When we stop controlling complexity through a well-meaning overdose of management and
administration and when we start distributing complexity through the system, then we are also
distributing power and responsibility, which ultimately is about democratizing our future.!!!”37 A
new paradigm will frame a new generation of citizens. The necessary Infrastructure for The
pursuit of wisdom and democracy driven by the values of “reason, caring and
sharing” will support that transformatiion. This is a concrete proposal for “reconstruction of
society in a new institutional framework,”38 which will obey the will of the people.
The U.S. Congress has power ”To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for
carrying into Execution the ... Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the
United States.”39 The “enabling act” is needed to facilitate development of new infrastructure.
The existing political systems obviously will not pass any such “enabling act” that could defeat
the illicit money-power game of the 1%. However, rule by the 1% cannot be sustained. This
rule by the 1% clearly violates the Republican form of Government guaranteed by the U.S.
Constitution.40 It is essential to the definition of a Republican Government according to James
Madison, in Federalist 39 “that it be derived from the great body of the society, not from
an inconsiderable proportion, or a favored class of it ...“
The tragedy of the African American slave culture of the 19th and early 20th century now
reveals characteristics of the early 21st century, based on class slavery:41 In the USA present
inequality in the distribution of wealth assures "the greatest divide between the very rich and
the very poor of any country on Earth."42 Lawless self-destructive superbanks have adopted a
“heads I win, tails you lose” Wall Street culture, pushing the global economy into the Great
Recession of 2008-09, assuring systemic failure "based on the total unabashed complicity
of the upper class of American capitalism .. a near total breakdown of responslbitity."43
“The sequester” coming into play at this time of economic recession is increasing the risk
of economic destabilization.44 The G-20 industrialized nations are well aware of the gambles
by “big money” who have placed their bets on deeply troubling offshore tax havens (Krugman
oped) where they have amassed accounts, a report on “Tax havens” published by the BBC
July 22, 2012 estimates conservatively, amounting to at least $21 trillion and, perhaps, as
much as $32 trillion worldwide.45 An investigative report published by Der Spiegel Apr 08,
2013, observed: "Tax havens cause hundreds of millions of euros in annual damage to
national economies around the world , and they create an uncontrollable parallel economy.”

“We the People” cannot
endure civilization defined
by fundamentalist lunacy.
The present existential
regime is driven by
“survival of the fittest” and
“selfish genes” Darwin-ism,
a counter-revolution,
which defies Darwin.46
In The Frankenstein
Civilization, I wrote: According to Adolph Hitler (1889-1945), “democracy undermined the
natural selection of ruling elites and was 'nothing other than the systematic cultivation of
human failure.” Joseph Goebbels (1897-1945), who was Minister of Propaganda under Hitler,
“maintained that the people never rule themselves and claimed that every history-making
epoch had been created by aristocrats.” Such a paradigm, embracing a philosophy of greed
and slavery, could not, “produce anything but the direst consequences” predicted by Charles
S. Peirce, the greatest American philosopher and polymath,47 as demonstrated by totalitarian
Nazi history, also as reported by the insanely great economist, Joseph Stiglitz (2012).
The present existential regime defies our birthright, in which “all power derives from the
people,48 with the supremacy of the sovereign democratic powers of the citizenry guaranteed
by a Republican government.49 The goal of democracy, “to form a more perfect Union,” of the
whole people, is established in the 1st clause of the Preamble to the US Constitution.
The present existential regime underscores "the hopelessly primative and uneducated state
of our minds” offering “a dismal story of wasted talents and unrealized potentialities," as
revealed by the English writer Aldous Huxley (1894-1963).50 Special sciences of Idioscopy
can support the human senses, either instrumental or by training, to enhance the capacity of
citizens to share power, deal effectively with complexity, and overcome limitations science has
identified of personality, perspective, mental habit, and social organization, which leave
individuals at the mercy of destructive social forces and deadly ecological conditions.
The present existential regime defies the paramount evolutionary, political, and behavioral
constitution of the people, to support the “free market“ capitalist fundamentalist systems of
lunacy. This is a dire menace, which must be abolished from the ethos of human civilizations,
opening the way toward wiser generations, who may reclaim the lost origin of our humanity.

10. The Ancient & Future Democratic Assembly
The pairs of opposites (being and not being, life
and death, beauty and ugliness, good and evil,
and all the other polarities that bind the faculties
to hope and fear, and link the organs of action to
deeds of defense and acquisition) are the
clashing rocks (Symplegades) that crush the
traveller, but between which the heroes always
pass. In the clash between the Chaos Monster
and the Sun God, the thunderbolt signifying
spiritual power (indestructible enlightenment),
shatters the illusory realities of the world. In the
modern world guided by the shifting ideologies of
democracy, kleptocracy, and plutocracy, it is the
"rule of law" that provides the central setting of
the clashing rocks, the influences of multinational
corporate channels, the briefs of very able
lawyers, and the opinions of the honorable
justices describe the illusory realities of the
world, but only the democratic will of the whole
people can offer effective resistance to the
tyranny of official powers and their Doctrines
of Injustice; the myths of ancient heros
notwithstanding.
Compare J.Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces 87-89, n.57, & Plate XXI (1973 ed.)
(discussing the mythology of heroism), with M.P.Follett, The New State 142, 147 (Pennsylvania State
University Press ed. 1998) and V. Schreibman, A Technology of Democracy (2003) (discussing
"meaningful dialogue" to resist corrosive social forces and to advance group transcendence).
"For nine whole days he shot his arrows among the people, but upon the tenth day Achilles
called them in assembly." These words were the first in literature concerning the democratic
assembly published in the classic work, The Iliad, written by Homer (800 B.C.E.).51
What is astonishing to learn is the fact there has been little positive change in the democratic
assembly since the time depicted inThe Iliad, some 3200-years ago. We have built the
world during the past three millennium but foolishly leaving ourselves out in the cold by a
legislative assembly increasingly dominated by capitalist campaign finance corruption, “we
have returned to the plutocracy from which the Athenian democracy strove to free us.”52
In a revolt against the unabashed tyranny of the capitalist elite,53 citizens are driven not simply
to regulate elite behavior or Wall Street machinations; on the contrary, it's absolutely essential
to overthrow and replace the outdated ideas and stupefying failures of capitalist systems of
lunacy,54 which directly affect the lives of Americans and others all around the world. Indeed,
the countervailing powers of resistance described by Naím, in The End of Power 243, the
massive Social Network for Sustainability, organized by the inspirational Paul
Hawken, and the global economic power shift now unfolding described by Ram Charan, in
The “Global TILT,” may be forcing leaders to “abandon old mindsets ... opening mega
opportunities”; although others see China as but a Partial Power not to be overestimated.
51 The story is about the Battle of the City of Troy in the war between Greeks and Trojans that probably
occurred around 1200 B.C.

54 It was a revolt against the Greek tyrant Peisistratus and his eldest son Hippias, which in 508/7, ushered in
the . Athenian democratic constitution

11. Democratic systems with high level of effectiveness include e.g.: “civic communities,” in Italy,
described by Robert D. Putnam, Prof. of Int'l Affairs, at Harv. U. in Making Democracy
Work; Mondragon Cooperatives, in Spain, described by Richard D. Wolff, Prof. Emeritus
of Economics, at U. Mass., in Democracy at Work; and the “caring economy,” in Brazil,
described by Joshua C. Ramo,55 in The Age of the UNTHINKABLE.56
Moving from domination by the 1% to true Union in dialogue of the 99%, citizens can enable
the purpose of the Preamble “to form a more perfect Union” of the whole people, by building
an infrastructure for The pursuit of wisdom and democracy, which can assure equal
access to essential knowledge management resources needed for effective group dialogue.
By establishing a philanthropic, Fund for Planetary D3, governed by “social business”
of Mohammad Yunus, a small subscription could, in aggregate, provide funds sufficient to
support such an infrastructure in every district of the USA, and internationally, throughout the
whole world. This can sustain real world emergence of The Agora of Philanthropolis,
democratizing our future under a more perfect Union, which we have predicted earlier.57
This essential infrastructure can change the way “people power” is developed, to overturn
those debilitating existential distortions and improve the “deep security” on which the
resilience of the people,58 is dependent, by: (A) adopting the wisdom of Follett, Huxley, and
Peirce,59 to utilize Idioscopy to greatly amplify the natural human powers of citizens;60 and
(B) engaging in the structured dialogue of a free people striving to make a better world.
This calls for deep spiritual dialogue to form a more perfect Union including
caring and sharing union organizers,61 working with scientists and Abrahamic
Faiths of Judaism Christianity and Islam, together with others: philosophers, and
economists, knowledge managers, environmentalists, renewable energy and new age
bankers, telecommunications workers, computer software designers, politicians judges and
lawyers, librarians, teachers, public health workers, American Indians, and Indian
Americans, blacks and whites, latinos, chicanos, asians, gays and lesbians, & etc., driven
by the collective will of the global people to, right now, rescue democracy from plutocracy
supported by Idioscopy, Science of Discovery. Everyone, everywhere may thus be a winner
in safeguarding the integrity of the democratic realities of the participatory universe.

Kissinger commented, in a book party forThe Age of the UNTHINKABLE, quoted in The New Yorker, May
7, 2009: “It has one basic theme that is a little difficult for me, which is that my generation is sort of a bunch

12. PEOPLE POWER

I know we all can resonate with
the truth that is a part of our
indelible humanity, as quoted in
the local and national press from
the life and expressions of my
Grandfather Max Lurye (1877-
1949), who descended from a
very ancient family, tracing his
roots back to King David:62
"A man's got to have his dignity
or he ain't no man. He can't
live like an animal running
away from other animals that
happen to be stronger than he
is. Unless he fights for what he
knows is right his life ain't
much of a life."63
The only way forward is to fight
for the dignity of the People. “All
power derives from the People,”
in Republican Government, the
US Supreme Court recognized,64
but organization of the People's
sovereign powers by Big
Government and Big Business to
merely empower themselves,
can leave the People powerless.
Indeed, power brokers demand
obedience to their commands
driven by a pathology of lies.
Their Frankenstein Civiliza-tion,
of class slavery, dictate the
primary importance to the state
of unchallengable superpower
global military preparedness.
They condemn and charge
the whistleblowers who reveal
Surveillance Scandals. This
so called a 'Strasi' scandal
vividly projects the image of
“Big Brother” in the USA “soft
totalitarian” Police State.

13. President Obama stated on CBS News, June 17, 2013, “if you're a U.S. person, then NSA is
not listening to your phone calls, and it's not targeting your emails, unless it's getting an
individualized court order." but who can believe those pathological liars?65 The NSA has
famously managed to evade every attempt to limit their security overreach, beginning with the
Computer Security Act of 1987 (CSA),66 which intended to prohibit NSA – a military agency –
from management of security standards for civilian agencies.67 The US Congress settled on
transferring authority over such management to the National Institute of Standards and
Technoloogy (NIST), but NSA grabbed virtual control anyway,68 defying Congressional intent.
The NSA operates as a law unto itself imposing the emerging military-industrial-police-surveillance
complex (Chronicle, Aug 7, 2013) consuming US appropriations greater
than all other nations combined, without fiscal control, unaccountable.
These insidious machinations of state militarism make a mockery of democracy foreclosing
policy choices of a free people to foster an enlightened humanity and an effective democracy,
which is our birthright. Instead of abolishing state militarism, President Obama authorized the
most sweepiing global dragnet surveillance, by NSA. Two Federal Courts, which have
examined legal challenges to the NSA surveillance scheme have issued contradictory
opinions on the topic, but see the AP report, Jan 23, 2014, 9: 46 AM, Government
panel urges end to phone data snooping: NSA's massive daily intake of calling
records "raises serious threats to privacy and civil liberties," a three-member majority of the
oversight board said the government should end the surveillance program and "purge the
database of telephone records that have been collected and stored during the program's
operation."
The American people together with the people of the whole world certainly can and should
communicate freely and organize themselves effectively for that purpose protected by the
right to free speech and assembly, in a World Union that is genuinely living up to the spirit of
democracy mandated, in the USA, by the Preamble that may be enabled by an
infrastructure for The pursuit of wisdom and democracy.

”Nature caused us all to be born equal; if fate is
pleased to disturb this plan of the general law, it is
our responsibility to correct its caprice, and to
repair by our attention the usurpations of the
stronger.” Foucault, note 10, at 282, quoting F. de Sade.
We have travelled far: first, on The Ship of Fools, then, with the institutionalization and
confinement of fools and crazy people, arriving in the nineteenth century to The Madhouse,
and now in the early 21st century, we are preparing to internalize and democratize the
“nothingness of unreason” masked as complexity, and medical psychology.69
New democratization has already produced hopeful signs of a “citizen-centric” real world
to replace the money-power formula for the lunacy of capitalist “free market” fundamentalism.
A genuine Union of the people, as the Preamble commands, can be built up to provide
social capital, mutual support and cooperation driving “productivity and innovation”
says Harvard Professor Robert Putnam, which citizens of democracy can thrive on.
Most human resources are paralyzed as power brokers quibble over slicing and dicing in their
spoils warfare. The Next Generation: World People Power, discussed here, can drive
effective use of the whole world's human resources, presently, the most underutilized source
of social capital and civic community that can massively expand “productivity and innovation.”

REPUBLICANS DRIVE US BACKWARD IN EVOLUTION NEW BOOK CLAIMS
In the wake of the U.S. midterm elections, we need to take a hard look at what drives us
ahead, chceks us in place, or drives us backward in human evolution, according to
psychologist and evolution systems scientist David Loye, author of Darwin's Second
Revolution.
The result of a ten year study, Darwin's Second Revolution is the story of the development of
evolution theory and its relation to politics, economics, and religion from the time of the death
of Darwin throughout the 20th well into the 21st century.
“What plainly stands out over a century leading to the eight years of the G.W. Bush
administration and the U.S. midterm election is a picture of the politics, economics, and
religion of reason, caring, and sharing versus the politics, economics, and religion of
ignorance and lunacy,” Loye says.
“The result is a Republican party currently sunk into a hellbent drive backward in evolution.
The Democrats are floundering miserably, but at least they are trying to drive us ahead.”
Behind the clash of liberals versus conservatives, Republicans versus Democrats, and
creationists versus evolutionists, what emerges in the new book is the story of an increasingly
costly and counterproductive battle between two belief systems that shape the impact of our
species on this planet and, for better or worse, on evolution.
Drawing on the new science of chaos, complexity, and self-organizing theories, the new book
tracks the rise over a century of an authoritarian, dominator/dominated belief system that
reshaped the original Darwinian revolution in evolution theory into the destructive mindset and
counter-revolution of “survival of the fittest” and “selfish genes” Darwinism. Underlying beliefs
shaping regressive politics, economics, and religion, this reversal for Darwin's original intent,
Loye contends, became the mindset for a pathological, century long detour off the track for
human evolution.
“The message from literally all fields of science now bearing on evolution is that we've
entered the evolutionary end game for America and for our world,” Loye notes. “Politically,
economically, morally, spiritually, and environmentally, the message from the century of the
development of evolution theory, is that we must choose sides and fight for evolutionary
santity versus evolutionary lunacy.”
A former member of the Princeton psychology department and former research director of the

17. Program on Psychosocial Adaptation and the Future, Neuropsychiatric Institute, UCLA School
of Medicine, Dr. Loye is a co-founder of the multinational General Evolution Research Group;
founder of the multinational Darwin Project (www.thedarwinproject.com), with a council of
over fifty leading American, European, and Asian scientists and educators, and author of the
national award-winning The Healing of a Nation, Bankrolling Evolution, Measuring Evolution,
Darwin's Lost Theory, and many other books on science, history, and the future (see
www.davidloye.com).
With nine pages of pre-publication endorsements by leading scientists and global activists,
the first book for a trilogy Darwin and the Battle for Human Survival, Darwin's Second
Revolution is available through online booksellers worldwide and on order through book
stores.
