Beginnings : My Basic Understandings

!!! Warning : this is mid-thought, come back in a week or so and I might have it right.

This begins a list of topics and my initial positions.  Each of these will be expanded in other posts which will be the first stage of the process of melding the understandings conveyed by comments.

0)  We live within open, evolving, complex systems.
1)  System stability must be the major design goal for governments.
2)  There are no perfect systems, natural or designed by humans.
3)  Humans are far from perfect in many dimensions, and these imperfections limit the kinds of governments that can be stable.
4)  The fundamental problem facing any civilization is finding more-optimal futures.
5)  Those more-optimal futures may produce system instability.
