Lesson #3: Proportional representation weakens democracy by making it harder to middle common ground within parties and creating opportunities for niche parties to become extremist in a bid to earn profile. Thank God #Canada does not have proportional representation

Lesson #2: the lifestory of the leader does not guarantee commitment to democratic principles. Yes, the VVD leader is a former refugee with a Turkish name, but she shunned immigrants and turned her back on principles of inclusion and pluralism that define 21st century democracy theguardian.com/world/2023/sep

Lesson #1 from the Dutch election: When a centre-right party signals openness to the far-right party, voters choose the far-right party instead. The ruling VVD lost power after signalling their openness to coalition with the notorious racist Geert Wilders. The Dutch have shown that racist voters want racist leaders, not big-tent centrists.

Think the first step in is defining the boundary? If the systems sciences are an open system, then learning involves the sweeping-in process. Excerpt from (1982) _Thought and Wisdom_.

Do we know the value of our user-generated content?

Heard just now on the BBC Newscast podcast:

“I'll challenge you at the BBC, why don't you guys make a news app like Twitter where all your reporters just post? I would sign up for that in a minute, and I would pay $5 a month for it.”

Yes BBC, why don't you get your reporters on your existing social.bbc domain? It's right there and more badly needed than ever. Be the leaders you know you can be.

Problem 2️⃣ : Car bloat worsens climate change

Heavier cars require more energy to move, which makes them guzzle gas.

When electrified, their huge batteries are so inefficient that the biggest models generate more pollution that some gas-powered sedans.

Philosophical criticism of RfPs by (one of the luminaries of ).

> All planning begins with a problem; however, it should not be confined to the problem statement. Also, the beginning should not be a clear problem formulation, but rather should be an utterance of moral outrage. John Dewey once said that problems arise from felt needs; however, that is much too mild a statement. One very sad aspect of a great deal of planning research is that the roots of the Request-for-Proposals are cut off at the very start; no wonder the plant withers and dies as proposals, interim, and final reports are written.
