You're doing a fantastic job! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
RESPONSES TO ONLINE QUESTIONS: ❓❓❓Q: Why did you rule out citizens' actually making decisions through deliberative processes? 📢📢📢 Response from Sarah Castell: We didn't rule it out as a fundamental principle, it may be that democratic innovation can lead to this. The white paper, however, was focusing on how decision making involving citizens should be used alongside remit of representative democracy and to help policymakers working now to see how they could start to use it. Decision making should allow those who are impacted by that decision to influence it, and certainly to weigh up all the tradeoffs and come to a decision about what they recommend. But the process should also take into account who is accountable for the decision and its consequences. If MP's are held accountable for the success or failure of policies or decisions, they also need to retain some decision making power. There is also value in truly sharing power, and we should work to create groups of people co-creating, holding, designing, and owning the design and delivery of policy and the way it works, its impacts and outcomes. That's a different way of governing together - but that wasn't the focus of the white paper, which had a more immediate and practical remit. ❓❓❓Q: How will the NHS consultation engage with the least mobile, the elderly and the patients who are the least likely to engage with an online portal and public deliberation events? And what about those that are often unheard, for example, because of a language barrier. 📢📢📢 Response from Sally Warren: We've been thinking about accessibility as we go. So let's particularly think about language as an example. Our website is already translated into the most common languages in England, and then there's an AI tool that can translate it into other languages. We have a BSL version, and we also have an easy read version of the website for people with learning disabilities. But I think here there's a wider question about where you are doing participative democracy. How do you make sure everybody has the ability to engage? And for me, that's why we're making sure we're doing lots of different types of activity. So somebody who's maybe older, more frail might not be able to come to a deliberative event with 150 people and 100 miles away. But if their local hospital is running an event, or if their local hospital is promoting being able to engage, they might be able to. The hospital might be able to help people fill in the form whilst they're waiting as an outpatient. So it's that kind of how do you use lots of contact to really mean that people have every opportunity to engage. ❓❓❓Q: It's great to hear the details of what is happening in the civil service and the public policy sphere. Is there also an opportunity to better engage business to help encourage and enable more public engagement? 📢📢📢Response from Sally Warren: I think businesses are actually really good at working out how do they engage their consumers in changing their behaviour. Some of that might be changing their behaviour in a way that really supports their business objectives. Some of it might be a broader engagement, a broader set of benefits. So the thing I quite often think is when self checkouts first came into supermarkets I was like, absolutely not doing this. Their shoving a job from them onto me. Now, I've convinced myself that self checkouts are just amazingly beneficial to me. They're saving me a lot of time, a lot of effort. So they've not only changed my behaviour, they've change how I perceive that in a really successful way. So I think there is something we should definitely learn from business and that business do manager to change people's behaviours quite successfully. And how is it that they do that? They haven't engaged and consulted a lot on that. They've tested it in a few places, shown what can work, shown hot they need to kind of work with the community to make it work and then roll out. And there's a very different approach to working with the public. 📢📢📢 Response from Susan Acland-Hood: I think there's also real opportunities to think about how we as government engage with businesses, which is something we do a lot around for example, development of skills in the UK, where business investment and skills is a real part of how we're going to make a difference. There are lots of these things where people will assume businesses are ahead of policymakers. I think there's a really fundamental difference, which is that a lot of businesses can chose who they serve. So rather than trying to identify how they can meet unmet need and get a really wide spectrum of people engaged, quite often they'll focus their engagement efforts a bit more on trying to kind of segment. Segmentation can be powerful in public policy. We tend to us it a little bit differently. 📢📢📢 Response from Sarah Castell: The mission driven government agenda is really interesting here because you can't do a mission if you just say "we're government and we're going to achieve the mission all by ourselves". The achievement of a mission is, in its definition, including all players in the system. So businesses are going to be really important in the delivery of any mission. They also have all sorts of interesting hidden levers, like the lever of the workforce; businesses want to behave in ways that attract the right people to work for them. So they want to be taking the right angle on the issues of the day so that they are contributing to the wider world in the ways that matter to people. So I would say yes there is an opportunity to engage business. I think you always, with government or business or trade unions or any actor who seeks to engage the public, you always have to be mindful of what the vested interests might be and a process that balances out the different vested interests. But I don't think you have to be frightened of vested interest or of power or anything like that. I think you need to embrace the situation as it is and design a process that everyone can participate in.
Cooperative structure with board being a citizens assembly mix of experts and constituents randomly assorted while factoring in all demographics. rotating, transparent, accountable. Then have network of cooperatives for local businesses and their employees, while same model of cooperatives for interest groups as well. Therefore there is daily democracy with cooperative rules from grassroots to executive, legislative, judicial council (board levels).
When the framers of the Constitution of the United States met in Philadelphia to formulate a new type of government, they made important decisions and also made tragic compromises to moral principles leading to systemic injustices. In addition to accepting the idea that some people could be enslaved by others, they ignored the tragic consequences of landed privilege. They ignored the fact that one of the main reasons so many people left the British Isles and the nations of the continent (and eventually Asia) was because they were and would always be landless. And so, the Framers voted to impose fees on any goods imported from other countries. This was done despite what they had learned from Turgot and Quesnay in France and Adam Smith in Scotland about the virtues of the free exchange of goods between people in different countries. These leading lights explained in fairly clear language that the economic rent (i.e., the potential annual rental value of nature) rightfully belongs to the community and should be captured via taxation to pay for democratically-agreed upon public goods and services. A colleague once said to me: "Ed, we have the solution to a problem hardly anyone knows we have." That problem is the monopolization of nature, of land in all its forms. There have been many thoughtful persons who did all they could to introduce the systemic reform of rent socialization combined with the liberation from taxation of income earned producing goods and providing services to others. Another Scot, Patrick Edward Dove, wrote about the problem and its solution during the mid-nineteenth century. And, a bit later in the century, came the books and global movement started by the American author and political economist Henry George. After George's book "Progress and Poverty" was published in 1879, a growing list of proponents throughout the United Kingdom actively campaigned for the assessment and taxation of land values (and the simultaneous exemption of all types of buildings from the tax base). Liberals led by David Lloyd George, Francis Neilson and many others made an effort early in the 20th century; they were defeated by the Lords and their momentum lost with Britain's entry into the First World War. A remnant group of proponents continued generation after generation, and continue to this day. Martin Wolf has written very much in favor of the systemic reform of which I am writing. Members of the Democracy Collaborative are directed to the ongoing work of British author Fred Harrison, director of the Land Research Trust. He has written a long list of books making the case that without elimination of landed privilege, there is little prospect for the survival of democracy. A huge online library of relevant articles and books on the land and money questions is available at the School of Cooperative Individualism. I am happy to respond to any questions via email.

Really!! roll on Reform
Demos is not very diverse is it
GOOD!
An absolute disgrace on every level.
Sound volume and quality gets sorted out around 12 minutes in
The sound on this is really poor for me. Is there a version with better audio?
Democracy ends with people like this ... Don't be fooled ... Don't let them get away with it
They describe themselves as a cross party think tank. Meaning it matter not one bit who you vote for they are always pulling the strings in the background undermining democracy for "the greater good". Wake up people.
These people are nothing to do with democracy ... The useful idiots ..
Absolutely incredible, thank you all so much! Can someone link the google jigsaw research here? was not able to find it.
The work Audrey has been doing is exciting and totally inspiring - DEMOS please get your audio sorted out this ... " How we could encourage technologists, policymakers, business leaders, and citizens to come together to use technology to build a more collaborative, diverse, and productive democracy." GET THE SOUND RIGHT? Ahh Well done: er EXACTLY at the moment I typed that, at 12 minutes, the sound leapt into focus! Maybe put in the intro that the sound improves at 12 minutes . loads of people will find too difficult to listen and will drop out before 12 minutes.
Demos played a role in the New Zealand Governments Pure Business Project, an All of Government Think Tank charged with exploring the practice of policy making. After developing some early disruptive technology, along with a data reciprocity model, I was invited to be part of the design team. We employed Enstroms Activity Modeling facilitation process to enable better conversations between the Public and Private Sectors around a highly complex dynamic environment (seasonal and episodic labour in a dynamic environment). The result was widely recognised as one of the best examples of public and private sector partnerships in policy design. We need to learn these lessons and do this once again.
What a great event and excellent paper, One to definitely share around.
useful discussion and initiative not to use generative AI in election campaigning
Another great session. Again, my only question is where does should the online conversation for this series of talks be? Feels like a huge opportunity being missed by there not being a common place to bring people together to discuss the related topics, whether this is a common space (like a Discord or a Slack) or even just something as simple as a hashtag. I continue to be surprised that there's no mention of social-media follow-up at the end of the events.
Give Joe Owens a voice TH-cam
Paula barker your a traitor to the Liverpool people allowing our beautiful city to become a den of migration. We don't want any of them Your out at the next election traitors we do not need joe Owens we do 👍👍👍👍
I would say that almost everyone I have ever worked with in local government and the NHS, will wholeheartedly agree with you that relationships are at the heart of the public services we need. Isn't the real issue that the current design and management of the whole system prevents anyone from changing their work methods so that relationships can take a greater part? Giving people relationship skills has been proven not to make any real difference. The system drives the work patterns and behaviours of those within it.

Very interesting. I feel like “division” is being used here to mean two related but distinct concepts: doubling down on people-like-me-ism, and polarisation of opinion. I think it’s been well demonstrated here that the way we’ve doubled down on people-like-me-ism is a function of choice and change among other things. But I have a hunch it’s polarisation of opinion that is the division that’s increased a lot more, and it isn’t clear to me how that is a function of choice and change to any great degree. The specific changes in the mechanisms we use to communicate with each other about our opinions seems a very proximate cause to polarisation if opinion, and isn’t it a bit redundant to bundle that with broader “change” in general?

The following government link has now mysteriously disappeared, the information it gave I have added below. (disgusting really to consider they know this yet treat people the way they do)www.gov.uk/government/publications/employing-disabled-people-and-people-with-health-conditions/employing-disabled-people-and-people-with-health-conditions5.5 Hidden impairments This is what the UK Government has to say about ADHD - ((Hidden impairments are conditions that are not apparent to others. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)ADHD is often associated with specific learning difficulties and a range of mental health issues. People with ADHD show signs of inattention, impulsivity, over-activity and restlessness.Difficulties in the following areas characterise ADHD:poor listening skills and being easily distracteddifficulties maintaining attention, concentration and focusproblems with planning, organisation and time-managementtalking excessively, interrupting or intruding on othersproblems with controlling and switching their attention as needed, for example starting, switching or finishing tasks and activitiesfailure to take account of feedbackpoor self-regulation of actions and emotions)) These ADHD difficulties vary greatly in degrees, from those who despite suffering with the above symptoms managed through the school system, and go on to achieve further education, and become qualified professionals. Doctors, teachers, psychiatrists anyone can be ADHD.many are undiagnosed.Other's have these difficulties so severe as to have affected their ability to learn, leaving schoolwith little to no education, The symptoms continue to affect their ability to carry out simple everyday tasks, For those lucky enough to have had their ADHD identified and to be diagnosed our government recognises their ADHD difficulties and assists them with full medical and financial support. For many older adults who passed through the system long before our schools recognised ADHD, and others who were missed at school the opportunities through adult life to have it identified, recognised, and to be given the help we desperately need is near non-existent.ADHD is known to be anosognosia, meaning the majority of sufferers will have no idea they have undiagnosed ADHD and are fully reliant on someone else to identify their condition, We think we are stupid as ADHD symptoms cause failures we failed at school, fail in the job market and can't comply with the DWP benefits rules. Distraction is a huge ADHD symptom when your so easily distracted that you can'tpay attention, concentrate, listen or focus on whats being said, youv no planning or organisation skills all these symptoms contribute to ADHD's problems with "Time-Management" being on time is an essential requirement in keeping a job and claiming benefits, LATENESS, is not a problem in childhood (mums time) but it is obviously, the most destructive, damaging, debilitating symptom in adult life, documented above by our government as an ADHD problem, yet regarded by their DWP as an "unwillingness to comply" an extremely punishable offense, WHY is this not being addressed? "How many sanctions does it take to teach a claimant not to be late? the punishment is so severe surely any sane person would be on time as if their life depended upon it, 'Oh it does!" Why is there no cut-off point where those frequently being sanctioned stop getting their money removed and their chronic lateness and inability to hold down a job may be considered as a possible disability in need of assessment? "scrimping and scraping to survive is not a choice, it's soul-destroying torture, it makes life unbearable" Why does the HCP's "special training in disability analysis" fail to teach them how to recognise and identify the symptoms of one of the most common and commonly undiagnosed mental health problems? Why do HCP's know nothing about "ADHD"? When school fails the DWP is the next visibly and blatantly obvious place where the "hidden impairments" suffered by severe undiagnosed ADHD become (visible impairment) , These Healthcare Professionals need to be trained to recognise the symptoms of undiagnosed ADHD.

What is ADHD? i will tell you. It is a label put on individuals who are here for a higher purpose, to cure this diseased mind controlled world. They are not 'special', not looking for 'attention' just a more advanced soul that hasn't been trapped in the Earths recycle system put here as a trap. Left to get on with the job and not pumped with medication , i'm sure they will do just FINE.
Order out of Chaos. Well, what have you done (general public) to help ? nothing, just let a psychopathic government run amok. Give yourself a slap and look deeper ....investigate..question.
