Plato's quotes about dysfunctional democracies

Dictatorship naturally arises out of democracy, and the most aggravated form of tyranny and slavery out of the most extreme liberty.

One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.

The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.

Find your favorite song to share, and say why.

What song (listed below) speaks to you about how you would like the outcome of 2024 election to make a difference in your life? What matters to you the most?

We are bombarded with emails and texts, requesting money and our votes for the #2024Election: gimme your money and your vote. We are all fed up to here about these extractive techniques.

These candidate-focused strategies do not proactively engage the sovereignty of citizen engagement, activation and participation as change agents. At their worst, these candidate-centric strategies merely serve the megalomania and narcissistic needs of politicians rather than promote the public service of empowerment and altruism.

These campaign strategies do not take into consideration the real-life concerns of everyday people. These strategies do not invite us to say what matters to us. They fail to engage us as viral agents to convey political messages by sharing songs with their family and friends about what matters to us.

How might we, as advocates for equity, liberty and justice, build a digital mass movement of song-sharing to make democracy put autocracy, Project 2025, white supremacy, Christian Nationalism, and Trumpism into the trashcan of American history?

This question calls for co-creating political innovations and scalable lifelong intergenerational learning processes to break the broken campaign strategies that fail to redress our dysfunctional duolopy of dysfunctional polarizations and marginalize the lunatic fringes of alt-right extremism.

How might we unwoke the unwoke about their unwokeness?

This question calls for people-centered, issue-focused, centripetal strategies to co-create dynamic emergent networks that proactively engage citizen activation as transformational change agents working within beloved learning communities and ecosystems to cultivate equity meta-governance.

What does that this sentence mean?
AI elaboration: inquire further

Equity meta-governance is our Ultimate Meta-process for Humanity (UMH): use a guiding constellation of virtues to address these questions.

How might we:

Co-create fair rules, fair plays, fair games, fair opportunities, and fair rewards to benefit all?
Regenerate our degenerating planet?
Restore Pachamama, Mother Earth?
AI elaboration: inquire further

The UMH addresses our meta-crisis of systemic power abuse dynamics that sets up our poly crisis: our complex entanglements of self-inflicted wicked problems. Equity meta-governance enables the launching of Equity Moonshot.

AI elaboration: inquire further

Equity Moonshot is our Massive Transformational Purpose (MTP): co-design and build an equitable, regenerative, and sustainable future. The MTP addresses our poly-crisis.

Why positivity is naive about deconstructing the dark side?

"You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete." Buckminster Fuller’s quote is ethically naive about the political and economic transformation of neoliberalism.

AI-elaboration: inquire further

Neoliberalism is the amoral-immoral perpetrator and abusive perpetuator of living beyond planetary boundaries that degenerates of Mother Earth. These economic forces violate the Gaia of Pachamama and drive most of our self-inflicted wicked problems.

“When they go low, we go high.” Michelle Obama’s quote is naive unless we clean out the gutters of pathological megalomania, malignant narcissism, sociopathy, autocracy, dysfunctional polarizations, and toxic divisiveness.

To move beyond these reductionist aphorisms, we need to zoom out to do good and reduce harm. Doing good without concurrently reducing harm enables our ego-shadows and the dark side.

AI-elaboration: inquire further

This calls for co-creating innovations that co-elevate positivity and deconstruct negativity, both separately, and more importantly, work synergistically together. This calls for co-creating a new paradigm while deconstructing the old paradigm.

AI-elaboration: inquire further

How do we unwoke the unwoke about how:

Trump’s fool-aid has induced cult trances of blind unconditional loyalty, delusional self-righteous fundamentalism, and the mass psychosis of the BIG LIE that denies the Jan 6th insurrection?
The tail of alt-right extremists is wagging the dog of the middle majority?
Alt-right propaganda machines (such as Fox News) are conning the American people that Communism is the greatest threat to US democracy?

The greatest threat to US democracy is the die-hard Trumpism and the fake patriotism of alt-right extremism. We can use songs to unravel our meta-crisis of systemic power abuse dynamics that set up our poly-crisis of self-inflicted wicked problems.

Which songs speak to you?

All lyrics written by the author. Suno generated music and voice using prompts.

If curious, read what inspired me to write lyrics for pro-democracy and equity songs.

Imagine if our educational systems enable us all to write our own inspirational song lyrics about how to cultivate equity meta-governance and launch Equity Moonshot.

How might we all write and share political songs to:

Co-create a fair-free-flourishing future to benefit all on a regenerating planet?
Cast light on our dysfunctional ego-shadows and the dark side of human nature?
Amplify the democracy of true patriotism to marginalize the fake patriotism of alt-right extremism?

Listen to your most popular song at your event to celebrate your work for democracy, at the beginning and end of your session.

Create a nuclear digital movement to restore democracy and prevent autocracy

How might we, the people, use this metaphor to:

Co-create chain reactions, fusion energy, and network power to galvanize a digital mass movement to activate voter registration and voter turnout?

Evocative songs to open, inspire, and align mindsets

The purpose of these songs is to evoke ethical discernment, moral and cognitive dissonance, critical thinking, affirmations, refutations, and dialogues about dysfunctional polarizations, toxic divisiveness, and alt-right extremism that undermines democracy. This quest calls for radical candor and compassion to address the following questions.

How might we create and/or share our favorite songs to:

Break the cult trance induced by Trump’s fool-aid?
Deconstruct the alt-right neo-terrorist playbook of propaganda tropes, memes, and disinformation that undermine democracy?
Unravel the mass psychosis of the BIG LIE?

How can we make political donations to make a difference on issues that matter most to we, the people?

Trump could still steal the popular vote win from Kamala with an electoral college win, as he did over Hillary Clinton. Robert Kennedy just stopped his presidential bid to join the Trump administration as the next potential head of DHSS. Imagine an anti-vaxxer as the head of the DHSS.
