- Thus our leaders' increasingly poor decisions are pre-ordained.

- That will end when we think & act on Level 1, not Level 2.

'Goliath' is not just contesting us at pingpong: he owns the bats, the table & the players. He wrote the rules.

He can't be defeated within the present system: he *is* the present system.

A system can only be replaced by a system.

During the last couple of generations, there was a slow, 'boiling frog' transition from democracy & prosperity to oligarchy & scarcity.

It's sometimes called neoliberalism: every human activity -child-raising, leisure time, health - kowtows to profit.

America's problems are systemic, so they can only be tackled at the level of the system.

Biden & Trump are late-stage symptoms of a process that's been in train for decades.

There's a strange echo of this 50 years on, in today's Cambodia: where every third US bomb unearthed by de-mining teams had its fuze disabled in the factory.

There's always resistance to an unjust system.

Our crises go back not to 'conservatives' - or 'liberals' - but to plutocracy.

To organized money capturing public policy & the public conversation.

Elect who you like: but if we donโ€™t fix that, we donโ€™t fix much.

Left v. Right is our uber-psyop

Beneath that distraction, the work of modern politics is to transfer our wealth to the corporations that have captured our legislatures.

Few who oppose this work will get endorsement by a major party, campaign money, or media coverage.

Humans wouldn't have survived a million years of ice ages & genetic bottlenecks if we weren't good at co-operation & compromise.

That capacity hasn't gone anywhere.

It's just been interrupted by an obsolete political design.

This is probably Trumpian distraction more than anything.

Republicans will accept mail-in ballots - they have done so before: indeed Trump has done so before - but it would need to be part of a general process of democratisation.

That's why I think we should bite the bullet of system reform.

Our issues are large & many: whack-a-mole isn't working.

Democratisation: many birds, one stone.

In most nations, the Founders knew the constitution would need periodic amendment.

So they included amendment clauses.

We need to take them at their word, & use them.
