One of the dangers that we see from the paper is the drive that may arise for a #techcratic solution in which unaccountable institutions, that are declared the most scientific, decide how things will operate, in places they don't even live in.

If not paired with something akin to at least a local #citizensJury, the #governanceModel may not be sustainable long-term.

While the paper does mention democracy, the things most described tend to fall under the category of #autocracy – so caution here.

@Argus
Its not that simple. Nuclear is has very bad costs to people and our environment.

In Australia we had a #citizensJury of 200 (or more people) decide, after all the facts were put to them over weeks, that nuclear is not a future for us nor our descendants.

BUILD BACK BETTER: Better… for who?

In fascist #Italy in the 1930s, didn't #Musolini build a tonne of blocks full of flats, to pile people into?

Sounds like the #Australian govt are inspired by #fascist leaders in recent #history.

Is it time we #getNEOED and riseup?

There's only one thing worse than being evicted and that is being evicted and having to live in a multirise single-bedroom unit with very limited access to open, private, green spaces.

Force #landlords to quarantine 30 weeks per year in the worst unit they own, as rated by a #citizensJury.

That'd fix it.

We need to upload our PGP fingerprint already :)

Identity and descisions: #IdentityPolitics is mostly about dividing people, based on often cherryPicking facts about a leader.

#Sortition is about randomly picking a #CitizensJury to make important decisions. Sortition with #PGP might work if you trust a persons security model is okay. Internet is not 100% reliable though. The sortition process would need to be publicised, well-attended and #streamed.

@abeorch
Yes the numbers we outputted were a guide. What you would do is develop the legislation with a #CitizensJury or have your democratically elected reps openly #debate the numbers until an aggreement is made.

The UBI value, even if it were fixed, would need to go through this process of evaluation.

#Australia is in a #recession. Businesses are closing while #banks get #freeMoney. The #media aren't permitted to use the R-word.

As a result the #Australian govt are inviting seedy #vestedInterests to boost #GDP and #construction.

#NuclearEnergy and #waste was voted against by a #citizensJury only 3 years ago but our #antiDemocractic govt and #contructionLobby don't care and are pressing ahead!

As we've previously, there are many #warPigs and #wellConnected #lobbyists in #Australia who are working to undermine our #democratic process to gain a #nuclearWaste and #nuclearEnergy #racket.

Three years ago a #citizensJury shot down the proposal for a #toxicDump in #SouthAustralia. There was a multi-million dollar push for #nuclear at the time.

Now, with a #sychophant #stateGovt Premier #StevenMarshall in power, we have grave concerns for a #sustainable future in this country.

"They remain unable to deal with the huge quantities of highly radioactive spent fuel they produce, says a group of independent experts − and as more #reactors are reaching the end of their lives, the situation is worsening fast."

They tried dumping the #waste on #Australia recently, the idea was strongly voted down by a #citizensJury - such juries are #educated of the #complexities of a problem and are good for solving #wickedProblems.

#Nuclear - not worth the new (old) problems.
