Democracy

Fukuyama

• It appears Fukuyama forgot that the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants in his book, The End of History. He's got a sequel. [1]. See Critique of Liberalism.

OSE Proposal

OSE is pursuing a solution based on individuals developing towards Radical Man as derived from the seminal work of Kurt Lewin on humanistic psychology. The practical solutions derive from the completion of the GVCS, ie a complete kernel allowing for the creation of modern society from abundant, local resources. As long as critical infrastructure is provided effectively via open source hardware in the framework of Open Source Microfactories, such as terraforming, housing, cars, food, and technology - then a foundation is set for cultural and scientific advancement. OSE's framework for achieving this is via a village-scale (200 people) unit of infrastructure as embodied in the GVCS, which can be scaled up as needed.

Opportunity and access, as afforded in the OSE Specifications for the GVCS - enable the solution for democratic society. To date, such a solution has eluded civilization, and this is especially poignant in 2022 as autocratic regimes are on an upswing since 2006.
