The Good Decision Home

“One lives a good life through making good decisions and continually going to that place in you where you find your good.”

The Next Democracy

Given the critical times we are in this Project has proposed a very short, succinct body of language to re-introduce the idea of democracy to the 21st Century. We no longer can afford to compete for points on the scale of mutual hatred. We must find language that addresses the critical stress point of democracy in our world today. Click below, read, comment and do a pre-vote if you see something to which you can commit.

  • Good and the Tools of Hatred

    True hatred such as anti-semitism can’t work unless the context is built and preconditions are met. One can set up certain pre-conditions and simply walk away as the actions of planted hatred roll out their grim statistics at arms length. … Continue reading

  • Good and Bring In the Clowns

    Two men/boys in positions of vast power and influence publicly squabbled with each other yesterday. The squabble would be garden variety pathetic except they hold positions of power in our nation. The squabble involves the livelihoods of hundreds and thousands… Continue reading

  • Good, Why We?, and Wily Culpability

    This Project might pull in more readers if this writer stopped using the pronouns  “we” and “us” and started pointing fingers.  I think the current approach may be frustrating to some friends both liberal and conservative.  There are reasons for… Continue reading

  • Good, and the Passive Deaths We Own

    The tragic truth is people are dying as the world’s cultures and economies shake themselves trying to find an equilibrium. The search for equilibrium or at least a rough justice in essential life resource distribution, as we have seen, has… Continue reading

  • Good, Character, Class, and Picking Friends and Allies

    The one downside of having reached the top is there is nowhere to run from your mistakes.  A wealthy businessman who makes mistakes near the top can always resign and pull out the old trope of needing to spend time… Continue reading

    I read the other day there are  some nationalists who now consider empathy a sin. They have attached themselves to one of the world’s major religious traditions by a thread, if that. Given the times we are in, this touch… Continue reading

  • Good, Government as Video Game, and the Strongmen

    I doubt many people would mistake a gifted War Craft video game player as a great American soldier.  Let’s face it, pushing buttons on a console and starring dazedly at a screen hardly equates to military service.  In some ways… Continue reading

  • Good and “No one leaves home unless home is the mouth of a shark”

    “No one leaves home unless home is the mouth of a shark.” —Warsan Shire- The stunning quote above is from Warsan Shire, a Somali British writer and poet born in Nairobi. The quote was highlighted by David Zwirner in a… Continue reading

  • Good and When Intelligence and Curiosity become a Liability

    When exactly did it become a harsh liability to use words in whole sentences and be curious on all levels about something.  When did intelligence become an unearned privilege? When did addressing natural complexity become the vanity of the self… Continue reading

  • Good and Reforming the Normal: Speaking Truth

    This Project and website proposed seven virtues of a New Democracy to which a citizen would need to commit in order for the United States to begin the process of reforming the era we are in and once again be… Continue reading
