Page Title: The real reason behind the Czech upper house.

➡️ Wiktor Osiacynski has compared the predicament of post-Communist parliaments to that of football players changing the rules of the game as they go along.

This metaphor is not only colourful, it also pinpoints the key problem of constitutional transition; lawmakers need to pass a massive volume of reform legislation while at the same time creating the fundamental institutions of democracy, one purpose of which is to assure that legislative changes occur only gradually.

➡️ To put it in its most paradoxical form, the transition from totalitarianism to democracy cannot be achieved through the institutions of democracy.

➡️ " Most political scientists, though, take a more realistic approach, defining a constitution in procedural terms, as a set of rules that are difficult to adopt and amend. The function of this rigidity is to make the constitutional order secure, predictable, stable. "

"Some of the more philosophically inclined pundits pointed out that an effective Senate acts as a futer. As far back as the Greek tradition, the upper house of the legislature was conceived of as a body of wise elders charged with winnowing out poorly crafted or opportunistic bills passed by the impetuous democratic majority. As described above, the second chamber also has a braking function, insuring against the over-hasty adoption of laws and increasing the likelihood that they will be the result of mature deliberation. Though such a system takes a way from the speed and volume of legislative production, it should add to the quality of legislation. Moreover, it is. well-known that parliaments oscillate spasmod"

Shortened versions might be
===========================

A constitution in procedural terms, is a set of rules that are difficult to adopt and amend.

The function of this rigidity is not to change but make the constitutional order secure, predictable, stable. So less change or change that benefits those inside more adapted rather than serving the outside and accept ever changing reform after reform.

Democracy cannot be achieved through only institutions of democracy.

⭐ MY COMMENT:
================

I personally think this highlights also the multiple meanings of words in any language, because even simple sentences are like multiplying lots of potential meanings together and are not clear enough so if words are to be taken seriously, it's really an endless task of explaining more the meanings of your chosen meanings (or reducing the ability for listener to get it wrong) and then compare what listener has got from it after to balance their side (if it's a 2-way communication).

That's why so much in communication goes wrong - it's not the people's fault entirely either but tools that represent or are literally another meaning, or worse they are similar nuances that catch everyone out unknowingly! AAaaaghhhhh!

================
SUMMARY
================

So sentences are not just someone's "crazy" or "stupid" ideas you don't get etc, but language's natural 'fault' for evolving as HAVING MANY WORDS WITH 3+ MEANING EACH + CONTEXTS & WAYS OF USING IT ETC ! 🤣

You'll be lucky to really get what someone means deeper - which is why "What do you mean by "this" word" is a good way to ask a question and allow further meaning and filtering of the message.

If you take just the first meaning often it's too ambiguous with words like
"be nice",
"love each other"
"respect me"

As sentiments and if already understood this works, but for the internal engines in life:

not detailed enough...

not the context the person is speaking about...

not their feeling on it...

doesn't show their experience.......

etc !!
etc !!

Life and technology is a good example of being increasingly disposable.

Tech as time and material.

People shouldn't also be treated similarly as disposable / unwanted / unneeded...

Like pushing different shapes into the same box cut-out and 'standard' template ignoring individualism.

@olives The reasons why people do this online is many but as usual part of same many things;

like learning, jousting / sparring, entertainment.... and frankly forced by society which has over time been sterilised very measurably;

less social centres, activities, less money into things, takeovers, privatisation, cuts, increased squeezing by jobs, irresponsible parents.....

So everyone has less time or dumps it all in one place... so easiest for kids(now adults) is to sit by a computer (still) ...which I admit was also escape for me and a lot of us.... (and I did all the BMX and boxing I could...)

Because many don't reply or don't FIND A WAY to reply to the many or even fans in real life or online - this is reflection where we're at in sharing and what is actually covered as more human stuff (even by maybe your normality or mine isn't quite it).

More below. But you know most of it.

Like all this tech stuff doesn't help more human stuff necessarily - especially if it's the same narrow humans behind it -
Altogether there is almost nothing else to do but Capitalism or this kind of make-up-your-own-way stuff to learn or get attention again 100 things listed... it's a direct reflection of society that actually CAUSES a kind of fake "you can talk to me" but no really you can't - so almost in a cruel sarcasm even online is crap sometimes - I can see it with Aral and other good people, and others online where there's not much else... really good people you can't even reach or hang with without faux pa's or somehow to learn the ropes of socialising... honestly too many reasons but could be solved by more dedicated humanisms (comms as therapy, allowing jerks to learn, or just good with more good working their way DOWNwards through people) - but it's not in people even the best sometimes falter.

My life is my own test basically - you're a nobody to most people... they are mostly into tech NOT people... and I'm trying not to fuel taking of sides but many are head down on computers and not wanting imperfections of average good people... even 1 at a time..

A lot of positive people too here and there but can't talk, don't make time, not seeing the upgrading or evolving of brains isn't with tech solely and expecting people to come from various disparate places here and be nice?

People are the real work...

So answering or finding other ways...ok not always for bottom level or those obviously too harsh / dedicated at crap, but really you can see the good by looking at profile and more can be able to get out of our misery and be more multi-processor brains... or just apply more emotionally intelligence online... if we do it all a bit more together... develop a way (not just dev computers for corporations to scoop up)

Almost ask yourself the opposite to answer this:

"Why wouldn't someone do this" in quite a cold / distancing world?" and you can't find much reason outside or better examples of humans as it's systematic / not paid to care or do any better etc so at least heckling or racism etc fuels 'some' sort of expression...

MY SOLUTION?
My solution is about phasing it out if we all can be more human in many ways (i.e. tech / programming wont save us so don't pile all energy into that which is a time dump / another playstation).

Something more human.

@learninglifer Good idea but it would get shut down - it's no sarcasm to say "it's too caring" and actually letting so many clever active heartfelt people rise up is a direct threat to an uncaring 'system'.

A system who is actually often those types but hiding behind a system of ways... in 'logical' world yes, in current world no - which is not saying no to idea but we really have to do all these website's and online-ism's a bit better so it's concrete and less individually attacked (once something work's whether it's a hydrogen engine invention and affect to fossil fuel industry) or any change that gets people off the mainstream. more dumbed down, aggressive version.

Do you repeat and curse when nobody is around?...

What is that called?

The phenomenon of repeating things to yourself and words of another person who has said it to you. Your self-comments are about a situation, often about those people you've had relationship with or encounter in a negative way. It's left as an unresolved matter at least for you, sometimes irreconcilable as an outcome, that stimulates you endlessly to curse or repeat things that may feel to you unfair, logical or unfair. .

A displeasing experience that bothers you can linger for a long time (months / years) including things that are on-going or world's condition in general - things that you want changed or saying and you repeat to yourself often in dissatisfaction about it when alone, but hold back in front of people or fear letting it all out at the same time and being seen as aggressive.

Many think they don't repeat things to themselves but they just don't do it in front of others.

====================
Irreconcilable situations...
====================
The brain might not be able to reconcile or accept what has happened and happening, so you repeat the words of someone else in an angry, disappointed. etc way...

This often not your fault at all or entirely or even the person's fault at all or entirely, sometimes the dis-ease is accounted for by environment which is the exact mirror of people not interested in resolving things or talking about it at all or regularly making time for it. The individual reflection is of evolution of society as a whole (evolution of design of previous people, say Capitalism or industrialisation, which show current shape and and state of what is invested into life and cut out, including time for individuals educating themselves (or not). And even with time perhaps the want to educate or talk is so poor we are almost exiled or sentenced into this position from no other choice and everything being in disrepair with nobody paid specifically for caring (ideally caring being put into everything)...
So the whole cutting out by systems end up with less human humans.

I see illness like this coming from communities or humanity itself - not always an individual's fault or bad logic (it's like asking a fish to continue about it's business without putting enough water in the bowl and just barely keeping it alive).

No longer making space, not entertaining the strange or offensive, not even expecting longer talk about deeper issues ever is the main contributing reason as that grows this or that types of disease (mean here as dis-ease or not feeling at ease because systems are not geared for for caring or even factor it in).

I may have this wrong so the post is a work in progress (and needs your help perhaps).

"Overexplaining is a trauma response" (just saw this quote)

which is relevant to my question and topic by Heather Cook 🖖[Autistic Coach] hmm_cook@universeodon.com

@pathfinder @actuallyautistic
#MeToo (in the context of what you wrote)
So much resonates, and typically the best thing is to stick together and talk more, but many can't deal with the mass and speed... but if you can then my offer is to talk and work our way out of it.

Luckily if around nature and having gardening type things it's really helped BUT I want to help us all as nature is also reducing so finding people who...

... A/ can write how you feel
... B/ can say it so well

... gives me hope in the overall scope that we CAN make something out of it ourself if we can allow the amount of mass and perhaps stress that goes with talking (and healing).

Look forward to all people in reply and I will personally respond unlike others online not willing to put themselves on the line or deal with more 'stress' (conversation) accepting there's no perfect way but keep trying with only ourselves and those others that allow conversation.

I write long so this is in short for now... let's keep busy

I liked this show for the slow chat in between and during audio...
Congrats that formula works...

❓ What do you think having it spread here on Fediverse? as dedicated conversation?

( is that too much hassle to check here constantly / multiple platforms? )

❓ How is discord, facebook working out for you and conversation.?

Would be good to chat about topics here on Mastodon / Fediverse.

I'd be happy to do more here on Fediverse / Mastodon as a semi-collab.

✉️ Let me know what you think of above points, thanks
