This is a beautiful recipe. One ingredient I would like to note, public education. Stupid is more dangerous than evil and public education has been dumbed down deeply. Education is the path to liberation, that’s why it’s been kicked aside and discredited. Thanx, Brett, for your writing.

Thank you, Bret. Nobody says it better. With this recipe carefully followed, hope for an actual democracy is almost feasible.

Fully agree with all of the points you make, especially Citizens United. I would also, to augment fixing the voting system, dump the electoral college!

And get some very strict regulations governing the Internet and its capacity to influence public opinion in the direction that the tech oligarchs want.

And yes, vigilance, vigilance, vigilance.
