Pris, this guy makes a lot of sense. I've contemplated a hypothetical United States of the Solar System being implemented around A.D. 2133, mostly as a mental and spiritual exercise. Ideally we could just do what this man says, and skip the formalities. The trouble is, there are always individuals or groups who wish to take over, and rule the roost!! This gentleman repeatedly uses the terms "Responsibility" and "Freedom". The Road to Utopia is Paved with Responsibility and Freedom. I've suggested that between now and A.D. 2133, there might be an intense period of examination and judgment (but hopefully with no Fire and Brimstone). Perhaps something similar to a minimalist United States of the Solar System might serve as an intermediate step towards that which is discussed in this video. Hope Springs Eternal. What Would Noodles Do??

That's the whole point handing over our response ability to some exterior entity is depriving ourselves from the thinking process necessary to assess the situation at hand and find the best way to tackle with it. External governance as found in our nowadays society is constantly bypassing us and ripping our own power away. It's a mirror image of how lazy we have become to pull ourselves out of the state of complete ignorance of who we are and the uncovering of the abondant treasure we carry within. There is a need for governance, purpose and direction in life but it has to spring from within, from the Heart.

"This is Noodles!!!"
Pris, I've been to a couple of The Offspring concerts (a long time ago)!! I stayed away from the "mosh-pit"!! Too much "blue-smoke" and "crowd-surfing"!! The Offspring is an old Punk-Rock group from Orange County!! "Noodles" is sort of the "Elder-Statesman" of the group. Noodles, the guitarist for The Offspring, was the janitor for the school the band went to. He was allowed into the band because he was old enough to buy the band alcohol. My parents sold a building to Seals and Crofts (to be used for rehearsing) but they didn't let me join the group!! BTW, that's Noodles standing next to Homer Simpson!!

Thank-you Pris. I once attended a Myron Floren accordion performance, and tried to get credit for my college Music-Appreciation class, but my Doctor of Music teacher didn't consider a Lawrence Welk accordionist to be a real-musician playing real-music!! Can't we all just get along?? I am MUCH More Restrained than Alex Jones and Larken Rose, but I enjoy listening to these types of people (but not all the time). I enjoy listening to The Offspring and Myron Floren (but not all the time). BTW, I love that title "Anarchy in the UK"!! What Would MI5, MI6, and OO7 Say and Do?? It's a Secret!! One more thing. A genuine-insider told me that Lawrence Welk was a jerk!! What Would The Lennon Sisters Sing??

What if the Solar System were One Big Business with One Big CEO, with No Church and No State?? Everyone Would Be An Employee!! I'm oversimplifying the concept, but I think there is something significant to extensively considering Business, Church, and State relative to the American-Dream!! This thing probably isn't just about what we want, or what might be a nice way to live. Ancient Star Wars, and Current Factional Conflicts might have a lot to do with why things are as they are!! Where one is in life probably has a lot to do with how we think things should be. People want what they want, regardless of whether it makes sense or not...
