Thanks Sam.

If my work inspires someone else to invent a better system, then I would be satisfied that my work has had purpose to it. But I've been at this project for 26 years, engaging with many political thinkers. I can count the innovative ones on one hand. We are really stuck on the known ways, not daring to risk even considering alternatives.

As a general refutation to your objections, I will provide this quick comment. The transition from western democracy to the TDG will eventually be as big of a humanistic jump as the jump from historical oligarchies to western democracies. The TDG will sideline those individuals with a high power-accumulation instinct. whereas western democracy only herds them. Western democracy is not natural to our baser human condition. Neither will be the TDG. Like western democracy when we had to learn new ways, we can learn the new things to make the TDG work.

If I were to get more specific, I could write a very long response to your article. But it might be more appropriate for me to turn that long response into a full article of my own. . . .

. . . . if you don't mind! You are the first person in a long time to raise valid objections.

I am wondering have you fully read my TDG book?
