Something Big ...?

'Something Big' isn't only a legal topic, it's a blue sky socio-political project. It is (or will be) an ever-growing accumulation of brief essays - years in the mulling - on legal reform, ethics and more - with a focus on radical democracy and individual empowerment. A strong secondary theme will be the self-flattering suspicion that the problems we face aren't all that difficult, they just seem that way because of the many traps that lay to ensnare us into complicity with perverse social and economic dynamics.

After that realization, the solutions to our problems should be obvious: ie. freeing ourselves from these dynamics and replacing the present role of dysfunctional institutions with alternate processes.

In other words, 'saving the world' is likely possible. Most of our problems are dumb things we're doing to ourselves - many of which can be alleviated by just realizing that we're doing them, and the balance by some novel thinking and experimentation.

Humans are past-masters at difficult problem-solving. If we can do all the remarkable things that we do now, surely we can run an advanced human culture peacefully, fairly and sustainably. It's just another complex problem ...
