Serving as a Supreme Court justice should be like jury duty but for judges. None of this lifetime appointment business; trying to make a branch of government free of political influence is impossible. The best you can do is select candidates across as broad a population as possible with a selection standard that changes less often than the lifetimes of candidates. #sortition #lottocracy #demarchy

The totally unfit organisation of society is getting us killed Bringing the worst to the top via "political" parties is the fault ofthe system. Presenting this system as democratic is the hoax almost everyone falls for. Only #Sortition is what "democracy" is supposed to be.

There are many forms of democracy that have to, by definition, be an experiment. Representation has had its day.
I don't need professional politicians; I need an accountable civil service.
I don't need lobbyists; I need choice.
I don't need representation; I need a place.
I don't need to be told; I need to be heard.
I don't need divisive tribal politics.
What I need is a fully staffed, well trained, truly independent civil service, guided by peoples assemblies, guided by experience. We can have #Unityindiversity.
"I" can't speak for "others" but "we" can agree, if not we can have a dialogue, there is a way through this and many of the the 99% are experimenting with options. Others are waking up every day and joining the conversation. Many of them are taking action. I am grateful.
