Die Biologen Timothy J. Roper und Larissa Conradt von der Universität Sussex in Cornwall, England, führten eine Studie über die Entscheidungsfindung in Tierherden durch.

Alphahirsche haben lediglich die Wahl hinsichtlich ihrer sexuellen Vorliebe.
Die Herde trifft eine demokratische Mehrheitsentscheidung, wo sie jeweils grasen geht.
Das demokratische Bewusstsein ist im Gehirn der Geschöpfe eingebaut.
Sind Raubtiere in der Nähe, muss die Gruppenentscheidung überragend mehrheitlich ausfallen, ehe die Herde entsprechend handelt.

Erst wenn zwei Drittel der Herdetiere auf ein bestimmtes Wasserloch hinweisen, zieht die Herde dorthin

Dieses Verhalten ist im gesamten biologischen Spektrum anzutreffen, von den Insekten bis zu den Orangutans. Alle Herdenmitglieder wählen mit anhand ihres äußeren Verhaltens.

Zitate allgemein

Was unterscheidet den Kapitalismus vom Kommunismus? Im Kommunismus werden die Betriebe zuerst verstaatlicht und dann ruiniert. Im Kapitalismus werden sie erst ruiniert und dann verstaatlicht. Václav Klaus (*1941) tschechischer Politiker und Wirtschaftswissenschaftler, seit 2003 ist er Präsident der Tschechischen Republik, zitiert nach Sächsische Zeitung, Dresden, S. 4, 18. Dezember 2008

Zitate (engl.) allgemein

Politics is based on rhetoric. [...] It [Politics] has got nothing to do with truth. [...] You don't get elected by telling the truth. You get elected by swaying the audience. That worked in ancient Rome, it works in Washington DC right now. [...] The basic rule of politics has been to persuade. Politics is based on the persuasiveness of the speaker, the persuasiveness of the message and the vulnerability of the audience. Audio interview with Dr. David R. Hawkins, What IS Consciousness Anyway?, teleseminar 148, part 2 of 2 (Q&A), presented by Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS), Shiftinaction.com, host James O'Dea, minute 27:34+, 56:18 minutes duration, 11. June 2008

The spirit of democracy is not a mechanical thing to be adjusted by abolition of forms. It requires change of heart. Mohandas Karamchand Mahatma Gandhi [LoC 760] (1869-1948) Indian sage, spiritual activist leader, humanitarian, lawyer, nonviolent freedom fighter

We, the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow men who pervert the Constitution. Abraham Lincoln [LOC 500] (1809-1865) assassinated 16th President of the United States (1861-1865)

The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter. Winston Churchill [LoC 500] (1874–1965) British Prime Minister

Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has not heart;
and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains.
Winston Churchill [LoC 500] (1874–1965) British Prime Minister

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver.
1. Hit the point once.
2. Then come back and hit it again.
3. Then hit it a third time – a tremendous whack.

Winston Churchill [LoC 500] (1874–1965) British Prime Minister

The real political struggle is not between left and right, but between people power vs. money power. Right now the U.S. Congress shows every sign of having been bought by those Big Business Conservatives and so is this presidency. [G.W. Bush, 2002] The U.S. looks actually more like a plutocracy rather than a democracy. It is run by, for, and with big money. Interview with Paul H. Ray, Ph.D., US American sociologist, How 50 Million People Are Changing U.S. Business, Society, and Politics, US magazine Paraview, Alexander M. Dake, 2002

I like to refer to Laszlo’s General Evolution Theory. Initially stable systems will experience increasingly stronger up-and-down fluctuations, until the whole system falls in a hole. Will the system then go into a dead spiral or will it rebound to a new higher level? Just like with personal crises, the old identity needs to be stripped away before moving to the next stage. In our [US] political system that means that the old-line politicians need to be thrown out of office and that many old institutions need to fall apart. I am not very optimistic that in the short run we will be able to handle the crises very well. Still, crises are part of the process of stripping away the elements of our dysfunctional modernist culture. In the long run, I am optimistic that humanity will find its way to the higher level of a wisdom culture. Interview with Paul H. Ray, Ph.D., US American sociologist, How 50 Million People Are Changing U.S. Business, Society, and Politics, US magazine Paraview, Alexander M. Dake, 2002

Note of caution:

Burke immediately opposed the French Revolution, warning his countrymen against the dangerous abstractions of the French.

The restraints on men, as well as their liberties, are to be reckoned among their rights. But as the liberties and the restrictions vary with times and circumstances and admit to infinite modifications, they cannot be settled upon any abstract rule; and nothing is so foolish as to discuss them upon that principle. Edmund Burke [LoC 410] (1729-1797) Irish British statesman, author, orator, political theorist, philosopher, Read nowCloseReflections on the Revolution in France, 1790

Not only were many of the founders of the United States government Masons, but they received aid from a secret and august body existing in Europe which helped them to establish this country for a peculiar and particular purpose known only to the initiated few. Manly Palmer Hall (1901-1990) Canadian-born author, mystic, occultist, 33rd degree Free Mason, The Secret Teachings of All Ages. An Encyclopedic Outline of Masonic, Hermetic, Qabbalistic & Rosicrucian Symbolical Philosophy, originally published 1928, pp. XC and XCI, free Internet version, Philosophical Research Society, revised edition, June 1978

These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Thomas Paine (1737-1809) British and US American Enlightenment philosopher, author, pamphleteer, inventor, intellectual, atheist, radical, revolutionary, Founding Father of the United States, 19. December 1776

My country is the world. My countrymen are mankind. Thomas Paine (1737-1809) British and US American Enlightenment philosopher, author, pamphleteer, inventor, intellectual, atheist, radical, revolutionary, Founding Father of the United States, Common Sense, bestselling pamphlet, blueprint of modern democracy, 1776

The cause of America is in a great measure the cause of all mankind. […] We have it in our power to begin the world over again. Thomas Paine (1737-1809) British and US American Enlightenment philosopher, author, pamphleteer, inventor, intellectual, atheist, radical, revolutionary, Founding Father of the United States, Common Sense, bestselling pamphlet, blueprint of modern democracy, 1776

Democritus once said that he would rather discover a new cause of nature than be the King of Persia. Jostein Gaarder (*1952) Norwegian intellectual, author, Sophie's World, pg. 39

Example of:

Dignitarian politics: Rankism defeated, exemplified on Don Imus' fall

A dignitarian society which actually sees to it that everyone experiences equal dignity is a different society than a democratic society. But it's within reach. And I think it is democracy's next natural evolutionary step to build a dignitarian society that goes beyond a democratic society and actually disallows rankism in all of society. Video presentation by Robert Fuller, Ph.D., US American rankism and dignity researcher, Media Watch: Rankism, presented by Linkmedia, YouTube film, minute 3:39, 4:34 minutes duration, posted 17. April 2007

By the end of this decade, we want Chile to be the first country in South America to have eliminated poverty, to have closed the gap in income between rich and poor, and to be recognized as a developed – not a developing – economy. Sebastián Piñera, President of Chile, 2010, South American Diary, Chile: More Than Miners Are Being Rescued, Huffington Post, Arianna Huffington, 21. December 2010

We've got to move beyond the idea that the public and private sectors are at odds. Government has to lay the groundwork for private equity to productively invest in things like education. It's a partnership, not a battle. Sebastián Piñera, Chilean president, 2010, South American Diary, Chile: More Than Miners Are Being Rescued, Huffington Post, Arianna Huffington, 21. December 2010

Using well-developed dialoguing and visioning processes involving the entire community, people could develop new ways to organize themselves with community-supported agriculture, barter and alternative currencies, solar and wind energy, holistic and complementary medicine, and co-ops of all kinds. Corinne McLaughlin (*1947) US American author, educator, Gordon Davidson, Utne Reader, cited in: Ideas & Trends; For Y2K Utopians, a Chance to Remake the System, 14. February 1999

The winning is the winning of the dignity of every single Egyptian. […]
Egyptians have proven that the power of the people is much stronger than the people in power. Warl Ghonim, Egyptian US American Google executive, who began a Facebook page that galvanized protest in Egypt's democratic revolution January-February 2011, Inside the Egyptian revolution, Cairo, presented by TED Talks 2011, minute 9:12, 09:51 minutes duration, recorded and posted March 2011

Our [Egyptian] revolution is like Wikipedia, okay? Everyone is contributing content, [but] you don't know the names of the people contributing the content. This is exactly what happened. Revolution 2.0 in Egypt was exactly the same. Everyone contributing small pieces, bits and pieces. We drew this whole picture of a revolution. And no one is the hero in that picture. Warl Ghonim, Egyptian American Google executive, who began a Facebook page that galvanized protest in Egypt's democratic revolution January-February 2011, TV program, 60 Minutes

Revolutions do not cause change they confirm the change which has already happened. Don Beck, Ph.D., US American management consultant, complex systems strategist, co-author (Chris Cowan, M.A., US American consultant in business, speech communication, group dynamics and media) of Spiral Dynamics, 1996

The pathway from tribalism to democracy has to pass through autocracy. Clare W. Graves, Ph.D. (1914-1986) US American professor of psychology, originator of a theory of adult human development

Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice.
Tolerance in the face of tyranny is no virtue. Barry Goldwater (1909-1998) United States Senator from Arizona, 1964

Timothy Speed, Gründer der Human Rights School, Neue Demokratie, Neue Politik, Der Moderationsstaat. Ein neues politisches System der integralen Politik
Die vier Herrschertypen und die Nachteile des Herrschafts-Prinzips
1. Der Weise Alte – Macht aus natürlicher Ordnung von Stämmen (stabile Macht)
2. Der Rebell – Macht aus der Revolution (zweckgebundene Macht)
3. Der Diktator – Macht aus Gewaltmonopol heraus (willkürliche Macht)
4. Der Demokrat – Macht durch Wahl (fragmentierte Macht)
Alle vier erzeugen Gemeinschaften, die auf den fünf Phasen der Dissoziation beruhen:
Spaltung → Abhängigkeit → Wertung → Distanz → Gleichschaltung.
Abhilfe schafft der vom Autor erläuterte Moderationsstaat.
