I'll be answering all questions via video LIVE Sunday at 8pm Eastern Sunday Oct 12 at meetn.com/Goldilocks. You can post questions here and/or attend live and ask questions there. After the event, I'll post the answers here as well.
BACKGROUND: I spent 19 years refining this solution to our political divide. Thousands of people took part in deep discussions. Hundreds of PhDs were consulted. More than a dozen PhDs were hired. I've done my homework. The homepage for the movement is Goldilocks.org
SUMMARY OF THE SOLUTION: The solution to our political divide is "The Goldilocks Principle". The Goldilocks Principle helps us govern not too much, not too little, just right.
(1) If we govern too much, that's tyranny (sub-par freedom to act + bad incentives = sub-par progress)
(2) If we govern too little, that's anarchy (sub-par freedom from harm + bad incentives = sub-par progress)
(3) If we govern just right (the Goldilocks government) we minimize harm and resist the temptation to dictate. That gives us freedom to act, freedom from harm, good incentives (thanks to the need to negotiate) and, therefore, accelerated progress toward maximum justice. Everyone wins!
KEY INSIGHT: Modern society is powered by the Goldilocks Principle already when it comes to governing private action, political action and foreign action. What's new is our discovery of how to extend it to the governing of public action (public spending) and governing action (government).
tldr; The only way for the right and left to get the freedom and progress they want is the Goldilocks way.
