Prisoners of The Story – Or Not?
Two thousand years ago maybe the Story “worked” but now it needs to be updated because the world has changed. Opponents now have all the modern warfare technology. We are not a few hundred people in a tribe fighting over hunting grounds or grazing lands.
If Donald Trump becomes the next president, Biden may, in his remaining two months, let loose the dogs of war in order to make things more challenging for Trump. Two of those dogs, B&S, are headed for jail if justice is to be served. They may stop at nothing, pulling us all down.
The Story can be changed if we look at other options. B&S may never have thought of a Dynamic Democracy model, but it might be the only way forward when neither side wants a two-state solution (and which would allow continued lobbing of missiles to the other side).
Having a liberal democracy with one-person-one-vote is a key part of the Zionist dream of having a homeland. Yet there are other options, including a Dynamic Democracy that chooses leaders by group methods. It can create dynamic feedback from groups instead of from individuals. Specific groups may be required on some issues while other times randomly picked groups will work. If constructed properly, social feedback can even control weapons of mass destruction on the international level. This Dynamic Democracy model can work if leaders on both sides agree. It also allows Jews as a minority to still play a prominent role in self-government of a homeland.
You and I might not know how to move this model of Dynamic Democracy to B&S, but with only 6 degrees of separation between any two people on earth, there must be a pathway. One can start locally, challenging people around you to consider how to move this model forward. Results of the first round may give hints. Quickly follow the first round with a remixing of groups or introduction of new players. This can be done every hour or two until a pathway opens up.
If Israel only has a minority, then pushing for a liberal Democracy with one-person-one-vote could be the end of Israel. A Dynamic Democracy as an alternative model could lead the way to finding solutions.
