"The 100% Society - A Matter of Political Science" is this:
The Idea of the 100% Society
Opprettet av Terje Lea 2011-01-14 07:32:33 [CET], started as a blog posting.
In relation to the "100% Society", I think there are 2 major concerns. One is the justice system and how to achieve this society by what kind of regulation/laws. The other is how business is supposed to be organised everywhere in the world for people to be employed ( >95% or more ) and for
rewarding profit and utility to be made along with it. I'll deliberate more on
this as the days pass by...
100% Society: the business plan... I'm coming back
to this, but it should already be clear that this is about symmetry of both
competence and industry between nations all over planet earth (and other
potential places as well). So how to do it? I'll think about it... Symmetry in
this sense is understood as competence and industry divided over the nation's
citizens. You can't assume that Belgium is capable of setting up everything from
complete aircraft factories to assembly lines for spacecrafts and satellites and
building aircraft carriers in the same breath. Belgium has only 10,8 Mill.
inhabitants and it can only do this much...
100% Society: I've already written
about the Data Storage Directory on my blog that I think should be implemented
as part of this idea. There should also be sufficient possibilities to defend
oneself by guns, tazers and pepperspray canisters. I would also let the Police
do the necessary surveillance by video cameras either by possible harddisk
review from scenery or by actual monitoring and control. The 2 options are both
good. This surveillance should cover the most used places, the places by most
people-traffic. One should also allow private people do their own
video-surveillance of private space and property including estate-entrance. The
rest of the laws can basically remain as they are. Social justice: I think it's
fair to allow people who "fall through" a kind of safety net, an arrangement of
benefits for the newborn/kids, unemployed, the disabled and the retired. This
should secure decency and stable society (without desperation). I've yet to
consider the definite divide between a kind of private arrangement and public
arrangement, but there should be no doubt that the 2 can go well together, with
the private option being more rewarding than the public one, especially in the
scope of retirement. This should be mostly it. The other laws can remain
basically the same. By guns, I mean primarily the handguns (I favour the
pistols). I see absolutely NO need for automatic weapons in private hands except
as part of the home-guard, possibly, but not necessarily. Today there are
storage places all over the country (Norway) for the home-guard and the army and
sufficiently so for preventing any Police State/Dictatorship to take place. Also
by handguns, I'm thinking of the 9mms or some thereof as it provides sufficient
"stopping power". Important remark: I've not implied a single, tiny intrusion on
people's privacy, classically speaking, i.e., within your private space, at the
loos, at the private meeting where ever, every private place and property, and
also not in all public buildings. You're right, of course, potentially, I see
every little inch of public space, "under the blue sky", as surveilled, but only
potentially. (By response to Impenitent on the PN forum.)
100% Society:
Everybody knows there are hidden and tacit business routines around the world
even if OPEC remains the most open, I've already asked for the syndication of
all primary industry like aquaculture, fishing, agriculture, mining and all
else. This is for the betterment of workers in these kinds of industry simply.
We already know that most agriculture is very organised in the "Western" world
to the point where we can't anymore claim those profits are given by
competition, but rather the reasonable demand from the industry itself due to
expenses of making the agriculture go around and for the workers to receive
decent salary. We should admit this elegance to the rest of the world, obviously
for the same betterment of living and opportunities that we enjoy ourselves or
those next door.
100% Society further: This is not all, however, we need to
start out projects that evaluate what kind of diversion of industry over this
same kind of symmetry is needed in respect to cost and opportunity for
abolishing unemployment. This can easily be socialised and effectuated by import
barriers to make the desired level of price of product and for giving the
"right" (social) message to the exporting country that its prices for this
particular product is too low for this area to be (safely) sustainable most
importantly in terms of employment! This SHOULD be accepted by the WTO given
that the members begin to agree on this kind of agenda that makes the symmetry
formula to the world the norm/normative! I would be HARD on this issue, making a
ferocious campaign if necessary!
Comment as precursor to the Idea of the 100%
Society: I'll also write some on the "100% Society" in some time to come, both
in response to Popper's political comment and to the much hated and paranoid
Welles' "1984", according to myself. Much of "1984" is deeply unfounded, I
think. And to be educated is also to seek rationality in others, thus this
Police State regime is probably put away for ever. More later...
(This has first
been written on the open group on Facebook by the name, Thoughts from mr. Terje
Lea, 16.12.2010, 18.12.2010 and 20.12.2010.) http://blog.t-lea.net/#post119 I
now find that the idea of The 100% Society now has grown so big that it needs
its own text. This will continue to grow until all compilation ´has taken place
and the idea itself has been completely desribed! Special thanks go to other
people who, like myself (now, according to my text on descriptive science as
minimum) have strong views about the political science as science in line with
engineering ideas and other and not something else!
This is /the/ serious addition of mine to the (serious) contribution of Karl Popper to this field, on how society should be shaped and how it should look!
