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.

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

To Dominate - Increase the suffering to make more money out of the supply shortages and desperation you created...

(Some worldwide shortages currently as artificial-shortages / chosen distribution )

#Question - This #phrase I'm rying to remember before I forget, is something like:

" If you want to know if democracy with work, as the average person what they think "

Is that right ?
(Variations appreciated)

More money 💰 than sense 🧠 / love 💗

(and some potentially sexist observations / experience)

More money than sense seems true even in my life when I have it because any money is a type of crazy power or accumulated stupidity from mostly bad practices mostly generated from from war and division, or war like pressing down on people more than incrementing more personally or sharingly.

The arbitrary valuation of what is sacred (us, earth, the magical) priceless and is not possible to value. We shouldn't even have a number over our head.

The war-like template by uncaring and unloving people damages things. And this is where I blame mostly men.

=============
WHY MEN MOSTLY?
=============
I would say flexing their ego muscles whereas as women giving birth constantly give and don't have as much physical muscle so look for other ways... and of course giving birth yourself personally means you have direct appreciation for life and can see others as one of your own or imagine... whereas men (don't want to seem harsh but seems true) are natural destroyers (which can also provide in it's own way) but locked in financial spirals downwards (debt) becomes systematic illness like chopping trees that are not endless and becomes unhealthy for than man and all under the same system.

3 parts:

I/ Theory and its applications: The goal of these lessons is to provide a concrete framework for people to understand how nonviolent action works. First, all movements start with the desire for change, so we offer a methodology to help groups develop their vision for what they want to achieve (Lesson 1). We then address how nonviolent movements can gain the power to achieve that vision. By emphasizing that political power comes from people’s ongoing consent and obedience to their society’s political, economic, and social systems, it becomes clear that nonviolent movements can gain power and create change by shifting people’s consent and obedience patterns (Lesson 2). In order to do this, nonviolent resisters must understand the roles that key organizations and institutions (which we call “pillars of support”) play in their society (Lesson 3), what people’s motivations are for consent and obedience (Lesson 4), how nonviolent movements produce change in society (Lesson 5), and the tactics and methods that nonviolent movements have at their disposal (Lesson 6).

2/ Planning considerations: There is rarely victory for nonviolent movements without a strategic plan. Therefore, an understanding of basic strategic principles (Lesson 7) as well as tools and techniques to analyze their past and current situation (Lesson 8 and Lesson A1) is important as movements develop their strategic plans. An essential part of those plans will be communications. How do movements effectively communicate what they stand for? Developing effective messages and analyzing audience segments (Lesson 9) and understanding the tools and types of targeted communications (Lesson 10) are essential. Targeted communication is one of the most important parts of any movement’s strategic plan.

3/ Organizational and operational considerations: Nonviolent movements are faced every day with stresses in the areas of leadership (Lesson 11), fear-management (Lesson 13), and avoiding contamination (Lesson 14), so they need to be prepared. They also need to be tactically innovative and choose issues and actions that put their opponents in dilemmas (Lesson 12). Finally, management of key resources (material resources, human resources, time, and knowledge) are critical to operating a nonviolent movement or campaign. The advanced campaign management package (Lessons A2, A3, A4, and A5) addresses these issues.
