I’m of the opinion The West as a whole needs a brand new system — made in the 21st century for the 21st century using the following themes:

- simplicity

- standardization (silly humanity tries to accomplish the same goals a million different ways — pick the best and use it until a better option comes down the pipe)

- economies of scale

- free and open data for circular accountability

- basic income (AI and technology is going to create massive gains in economic output so can easily afford this)

I believe a federal - municipal system would be best. Mayors can be elected by their local constituents; then the mayors can elect a leader/dictator who has a great deal of power to push forward their agenda, with a veto mechanism to prevent them going off the rails (mayors have the vote for the veto, but make it high like 75% for example so you need a strong consensus to veto the leader).

Create a constitution made in the 21st century for the 21st century.

Create a system so good that everyone wants in as the benefits will be so immense that only fools will stay out (a better quality of life and economic outcomes). Could likely start this system in Canada and go after the low hanging fruit that is The Commonwealth.

The arc of humanity and civilization is unification — I believe we are seeing the late stages of nationalism (which is fragmentation and wars). I believe we must live through this chaotic WW3 era before my grand plan door opens.

The Newfound Gold analysis above makes a huge rookie mistake by confusing depth from surface with the length of the drill holes. Their math would be correct if the holes were vertical, but they are drilled at a much more shallow angle. This fact nullifies their entire thesis.

Why not wait until after the :Labor Day holiday for New Found to respond. Author is predisposed to go with his preconceived negative intuition not the geo data. Great article NOT.

Garbage article with no substance and lacks truthfulness in its content. Author needs to look into facts more closely instead of assuming negatives. Nfg is in the process of QAQC of its outstanding cores. The author assumes results are being held back due to "dusters". Author only cares about being paid to post a negative article without any fact checking.
