@ChessMaster, why doesn't the citizen know how the government functions?

Its easier,people don't want more responsibilities. They forget the government is the people not the leaders. I forgot.Something was introduced yesterday that I found quite interesting. Can't remember who said it,but they said the current presidential candidates aren't offering anything new in terms of ideology. If ideology is what lead Kenya to where it is,how will they change Kenya if there is no change in ideology? Uncertainty is certain.Let go

If ideology is what lead Kenya to where it is,how will they change Kenya if there is no change in ideology? What is the fundamental nature of Man? And how does it relate to economic behaviour? For surely, we cannot dismiss Him so quickly! What are ideas? Why haven't we had ideological changes?

For surely, we cannot dismiss Him so quickly! What are ideas? Why haven't we had ideological changes? I can't say this is the fundamental nature of man but one which is consistent.Technology.We love to make our lives easier.Even government is a form of technology. Economic behaviour,simple,people don't want to work.So the people who work will gain.Its like unemployment,people want ready made jobs but don't want to create jobs for themselves. An idea can be said to be a concept or views we have on topics. There in lies the problem,our leaders share the same perspectives in this rapidly changing world. We need a different approach to the issues facing this country and not reject ideas just because they haven't been tried and tested. Why it hasn't changed?As it stands,the elite are benefiting from how the situation currently is. Change might not mean loss for them but why would they want to take a risk which would harm their interests. Uncertainty is certain.Let go

@ChessMaster, such a viewpoint must be supported by a cosmology. Otherwise, our attempts to understand human nature will be futile.
But yes, Man seeks both equilibrium and pleasure. Isn't this a good thing?
I'd say ideas are forces deployed to maintain the 'I' concept in pleasurable equilibrium.
And if our ideology has not changed, then, it means our perception of 'I' hasn't changed.

Imagine the president making a Jamhuri day speech in which he declares that he is the Man God. Afadhali Bifwoli Wakoli I think this is a good specimen of an instance of the Wazuan 'I' concept. What would the algorithm of analyzing it involve? 1. Point of awareness with regard to the limits of humanity. This can be used to see attitudes, and systemic implications. That is, we can direct ideological growth. This, I think, is mind control.

Now I see that the problem might be in our definition of 'work' and its relation to 'employment'. Generally, the two must be in equilibrium.
This, is the crux of the matter.

This, is the crux of the matter. For example, it would be wrong and inefficient for government to maintain employment levels in an expanding universe. But instead, government needs to promote 'Work' and leave 'Employment' to the 'Enterpreneur'. In such a model, the world wouldn't face any financial or economic crises. Economies would expand indefinitely.

Economics is the study, and control of the basis, nature, organizations and effects of the prevailing relations between work and employment, within the context of the rate of expansion of the universe. This is the optimal rate of inflation.
Production is the meeting of work and employment to generate pleasure.
Basic need: Work.
Factors of production: Work levels, adherence to laws, information and communication systems.
