Evolution goals and Solutions

Evolve decisions.
Working within the system to change the system.

It is important to set , value and update valuations of goals based on feedback and observation (Bayes formula). A better leader accepts and evaluates quality of feedback not just during election. Managing correspondence to tap sources of information and valuate confidence in them. If a individual stops taking public and private input he looses sight of opposing perspectives, feedback of others and ability to find blind spots allowing problems to grow in size and scope as a cancer.

The ends should not justify the means. Revocable informed consent is important. Ignoring peoples consent to changes can lead to riots, a literal violent revoking of consent to be governed. People may object to the way changes are carried out, want to know why changes affecting them are necessary and question the cost or effectiveness solutions.

A literal interpretation of enlightenment is reducing the burden government and administration places on people. Take only what you need to solve a problem. Find the develop innovations that take less resources to solve and maintain their solutions if the cost of doing so is worthwhile.

Explaining policy with a models is a rational approach to making decisions.

Fidelity of the cupboard model.
One person may say the cupboard is not big enough for all because you can not store all you want to in it and think the solution to the problem is a bigger house and more cupboards. Some insight may be taken from how the cupboard is used. If you are adding more things to the cupboard then you are removing you will end up using all your space. If you only take things from the front of the cupboard and add new things to the front of the cupboard it is easy to see how you do not see and forget about things in the back of the cupboard. Being able to access and use the existing resources is important. Perceiving resources you have is important. Instead of hoarding resources, tapping outside stores of fresh new varied ingredients allows innovation.

Apply the cupboard model to government. Decide if a bigger government is worth the cost, effort and energy to maintain. Determine if your load could be lightened and life improved by changing your way of using and storing resources.
A good case can be sometimes made for a pantry where you can walk in see everything you have and store more to feed a bigger family so you do not have to spend as much time looking for resources.

Attain enlightenment by analyzing apparent contradictions or irrational behavior.
