    Philosophy

    Politics

    Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Civics Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

    I support a model of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination semi-direct democracy, where the people can vote in referendums while also being able to draft up referendums themselves (requiring millions of signatures to be voted on nationally), while there is also an elected parliament with a Prime Minister as the most powerful position, supporting a Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination parliamentarian system. There can be referendums to amend the constitution and also referendums against laws passed by parliament, allowing the people to be a counterweight, especially when it seems like parliament/court is against the interests of democracy/liberty (take the US Supreme Court). This model is similar to that used in Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Switzerland.

    Finally, I support the implementation of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination STAR voting, a voting system which will serve as the replacement to dominant voting systems like proportional representation and first past the post, among other voting systems. You can rate candidates from 0-5 with 0 being the worst and 5 being the best (this is for the single-seat variant). After voting is done, there are two finalists, those being the people with the highest score . I believe this system is more representative of the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination people's will than any other system because of the details of such system. Afterwards, there is an automatic runoff round and the finalist with a higher score wins.

    Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Economics Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

    I believe in a Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Regulationist-Capitalist economy which is best exemplified through the ideas of the Third Way, Social Liberalism and that of Social Capitalism (social market economy). I support economic growth while also helping the people in a Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination paternalistic way, meaning that there is a bigger emphasis on personal responsibility and there would be more equal opportunity for people, economic growth can also allow for Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination scientific and technological progress, through encouraging of foreign investment, subsidizing businesses and cooperating with them through public-private partnerships. Overall, I support the following policies:

    Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Welfare Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

    I believe that we need to reform the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination welfare state as to prevent leeches from developing and to give it out as a way to give poorer people who were born into terrible conditions to rise up through the social ladder, allowing for equal opportunity. Welfare should only reward those who actually want to do something with it, not those who just use it for nothing.

    As such, I support reforms to welfare, one such reform being Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination workfare, giving it only to people who work, allowing for people who truly want to climb up the social ladder to receive it while also lowering unemployment, allowing for higher productivity and economic growth. Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Subsidies would also be given to job training & education in order to create an educated populace while also having skilled workers in the information & technology economy that is coming. Overall, I support the following policies for welfare reform:

    Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Taxes Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

    During times of economic growth, I support balanced budgets so as to not have high levels of debt as percentage of the GDP as high levels of debt can be bad overall and is a sign of overburden from bureaucracy. However, when there is a recession the government will have to intervene in and implement policies of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination economic stimulus, allowing markets to recover from such crashes.

    While I don't support balanced budget amendments, I do believe that after a recession the government should balance its budgets again while it had done deficit spending during the recession. The way the government will ensure that budgets can be balanced while at the same not impoverishing the people and cause massive austerity, I support the following policies:

    Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Education Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

    I support a model of privatized education in the form of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Charter schools, private schools which have government funding. These have proven to be far better than regular schools at promoting academic performance and just overall making students educated on topics, allowing them to become rational adults, which will be useful in a democratic system. Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Charter schools can also allow for students to learn in their own way and would benefit minorities such as Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination African-Americans while not displeasing minorities such as Asians. I also support a school-time framework similar to that of Finland, there being a 4 hour and 15 minute school day from 9:45 AM to 2 PM with students not receiving homework, believing that these two models can be complemented. Such a privatized education system would also prevent the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination public union corruption present within public schools.

    Along with this, I support Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination school vouchers as a way to allow poor students who were born that way to find schools and can have the same opportunity as a rich student to use their intelligence to get to a good field to work in and learn. Such voucher system will be based on attendance and academic performance, meaning that charter schools would have to compete for quality and positive student outcomes. However I reject compulsory attendance, with attendance either being high through school vouchers or through increased File:Construction.png vocational education funding, which would still make them useful for economic progress.

    Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Eco-Technology Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

    The world of fossil fuels is something we need to transcend, not only for environmental reasons but also for economic reasons. Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Anti-environmentalism technically cannot be forever profitable and as such has to be abandoned, preferably now. As such, I believe that we need to transition to a Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination eco-social market economy, an economy which balances the needs of the environment, the needs of capital and the needs of people and while it may not reach this perfect "utopia" where all of these needs are completely balanced, we can at least get close to it. To reach the economic system known as ESME I support the following policies:

    Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Mass Automation Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

    I believe that humanity is currently in the midst of the 4th industrial revolution and it will be defined by a tendency of mass automation, where work in manufacturing and other unskilled fields would be replaced with Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination machines. Mass automation will allow for large increases in production while requiring less working hours for the machines, as they can do things much quicker than humans. Mass automation is proving itself to be vital for our future, especially through things like the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination internet of things which will allow for an interconnected energy grid that is more efficient and effective compared to our current grid. However, I also recognize that the fallout associated with this will probably lead to a great rise in Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination populist sentiment to a level we have never seen before, as such I support the following policies:

    • A Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination universal basic income (UBI), which will serve as a way for people to still be financially well off in an era of mass automation, while also alleviating the social reaction that would come from the aftermath of this.
    • Investing massively into industrial automation as it can be the difference between a powerful economy and a economy based on foreign reliance (like the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination European Union) in the coming years and decades.
    • Such mass automation could not only be used in industry, but also in other sectors, even allowing for a potential machine-guided way to fix the problem of climate change, through Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination bright-green environmentalism.
    • Machine learning can serve as a way to allow for a smarter, more educated populace as such systems will not be dictated by ones personal biases, allowing people to learn in their own way, thus allowing everyone to be educated.

    Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Space Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

    We have seen how highly funded Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination space exploration has actually lead to technological advancement right here on our planet Earth, a few examples being cell phone cameras, GPS and cheap solar panels, which have proven to be useful in many things. As such, I heavily support increasing funding for space agencies worldwide, with funding making up 1% of GDP, up from 0.04% that it currently makes up compared to the world's GDP. So, governments around the world would dedicate 1T$ to space exploration per year instead of just 40B$.

    With such high funding, we can allow for levels of space exploration never before seen, with us potentially creating Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination nuclear-powered spaceships, which can get to destinations much quicker while not quickly running out of fuel, opening up the solar system to ourselves. We can allow for the search of non-human intelligence within our universe to be much better than it is today, we can allow our knowledge of the universe to expand and can even help us down here on Earth. We shall open the gates to the next frontier and as such I support the following policies:

    • Reform the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Outer Space Treaty to allow for weapons in space and to allow for a united, Earth colonization of planets/moons within our Solar System and even exoplanets, such expeditions not being American or Chinese, but human expeditions.
    • Increase funding and education for Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination space exploration as it can open up not just the next frontier of exploration and knowledge but also the next economic frontier
    • Allow for high levels of funding given to technological research in outer space, as it can give us new sources of energy which can give us new technologies we couldn't have even imagined were real and increase our level on the File:Kardashev.png Kardashev scale and other such civilizational scales.
    • Invest in Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination space telescopes as they can not only help us discover new objects in the galaxy and universe but can also improve our knowledge about the universe and its history and just general scientific research about the universe.

    Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination CRISPR Gene Editing Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

    I very much support Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination CRISPR gene editing as while it does serve as a way to perfect our genes and giving the population "genetic cheats" that allow us to be smarter, faster etc. Besides all of these positive effects on humanity, CRISPR can also solve problems such as light pollution by creation bioluminescent trees that replace street lamps/light bulbs, allowing for ecologically friendly lighting that does not "fog" our skies, allowing us to see the stars again.

    Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Artificial Intelligence Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

    In my opinion, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination artificial intelligence is not really a danger and if it does end up dangerous, it is our fault and only our fault. I reject anti-AI ideas like that pledge to stop all AI development more powerful than GPT-4 and believe that we should not regulate AI but rather integrate it in order to improve ourselves in the end. As such, I support the following policies:

    I also believe that even if we do somehow manage to regulate AI (which is basically near impossible at this point) it will be basically not just in vain but also detrimental to liberal democracy as countries like Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination China will catch up with the West and beat it into this race and through this they can achieve world domination.

    Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination LGBTQ+ Rights Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

    I support the rights of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination LGBTQ+ people, believing that this is something they were born as and it means that they're free to have their identity. The reason why LGBTQ+ seem to be so "attention-seeking" is because they're countering their oppression. Keep in mind, there are more countries which criminalize LGBTQ+ than there are who guarantee their rights. I also support the rights of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination trans people and people which consider themselves Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination non-binary.

    Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Guns Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

    I believe in a Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination gun policy that is similar to the models employed in Switzerland and/or Canada. The purchasing of guns should occur after the age of 18 and initially you should only be able to buy small and weak firearms like rifles, however as you gain experience and through period checks that make sure you're a trusted, mentally sane user you can gain even automatic firearms like AR-15s but that's after years of checks to see if you're not gonna Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destinationshoot up a school with it for whatever reason. With this I also support permits to buy guns, believing that these policies can be useful in reducing gun crime.

    Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Drug Legalization Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

    I believe that all Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination drugs should be made legal and I support such an idea because not only it reduces profits from drug cartels, but also allows for proper regulation through Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination taxation, rehabilitation and other such laws, allowing for a reduction in consumption not just from these but also due to the whole idea that consuming Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination illegal substances makes you cool diminishing. I believe that soft drugs should have a minimum consumption age of 18/21 while hard drugs should have a minimum consumption age of 25.

    Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Abortion Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

    I heavily support Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination abortion rights, believing that there should be no exceptions to abortion and believe that it is up to the mother herself whether she should have an abortion or not, recognizing that abortion is an important step in woman's emancipation. However, I do believe that things like contraceptives and other forms of birth control should be used over the traditional form of abortion. Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Abortion is also known to keep maternal mortality down and can actually be helpful in reducing poverty.

    Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Prostitution Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

    I support the legalization of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination prostitution and other sex work, believing however that they should be confined to state-owned brothels and if not should be confined to well-regulated private brothels which are to be heavily taxed so as to not result in a heavy increase in the rates of prostitution and to actually keep it in check. Such profits would go towards important like File:Construction.png infrastructure and the citizen's Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination welfare so as to contribute to a society which has equal opportunity.

    Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Euthanasia Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

    I believe that Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination euthanasia should be legal and believes that people who want to perish should perish in a painless way and not through traditional means like suicide. I believe that the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination right to death is one that should be respected and should not be infringed upon.

    Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Free Trade Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

    I am personally in favor of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination free trade, believing that free trade has been useful in lowering poverty and providing economic growth and opportunity. As such, I believe that we need to grow free trade, especially between liberal democracies as it can serve as a hub of improved relations between them and we can even help Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination hybrid regimes as they can be more easily swayed to the democratic cause through free trade. As such I support the following policies (this is mostly in an American context):

    Relations

    Self-Inserts

    Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Friendly
