Thank you Henryk for taking the time to inspect and comment on Part 4.

Part of the problem with the TDG is that has many moving parts, just like western democracy. I got the original idea in 1992--and it was not until 2009 where I could bring all those parts together.

Being able to change our minds, when new facts, perspectives, and opinions is presented, is one of those traits many of us need to improve. Part 2 of the workshop discusses this. The people I describe in Part 4 are often not able to change their mind.

I liked your comment about "disclose and disable powerful people trying to manipulate the outcome of the consultations". The workshop sort of discusses this in Part 6. But my book deals more directly with this matter. Basically, TDG voters will usually not vote for opinionated, fix-minded people trying to work some ideology or acquire power. If such a person is occasionally voted in, he won't rise higher in the tiers. In other words, the TDG elections will filter out the people (with a little too much mental illness) from acquiring a responsible position.

When the decision-making forums are composed of more open-minded people (leadership as you describe), we will be finding better solutions.
