Hi Carlos, many thanks for the flattery. Unfortunately, as per my analysis in my eBook Why Democracy Failed, representative democracy as a system always excludes those who try to present thoughtful and beneficial policies. Success comes from wooing the masses with lies and impossible promises, and never more so than in a world of always-on infotainment in which trivial memes dominate. I feel my only tiny contribution can come from writing in the hope of inspiring others to write also, so that one day our distant successors have a range of ideas and options to choose from when they try to rebuild from the ashes of our failed civilization.
