Our pattern to date has been amorphous protest.
But no change can occur, or last, without architecture.

Our Western system once had a core strength & superpower—#democracy: the subtraction of special interests from government.
And we threw it away.
(We don’t have fiscal, social & environmental problems—we have a democracy problem.)

We can (after a short egalitarian interlude) see that pattern reasserting itself now.
Nonetheless, genetics (and common sense) remain on our side.
With a democratic design that optimises our egalitarian wiring, we can emulate our natural egalitarianism at scale.

Such a system would be highly workable, but keeps its elite—conservative or progressive—on a short leash.
Governments can no longer be captured.

Our politics is bogged down in issues no-one can solve at the level on which they’re being addressed.
Yet electing & re-electing leaders who presided over decades of decline has not convinced Westerners that their political system needs replacing.
