Ueli, Far be it from me to be opening another can of worms here, but considering we have uncovered some diverse points of view discussing governance in the...
Jup Jan, can or worms for sure! But hey, interesting!!! Incidentially I like these kind of can of worms with their complexities, where there is no "right or...
Ueli, Just to clarify, I was considering that micromanagement was a subset of the 'big picture' as it is intimately tied in with the development stages....
Mmmmh, so if I get you right, you mean that the "pioneers" would be a group of specialists, always the same people, & people following them would be less &...
 Well, no Romuald, I did not quite say exactly what you surmise. Not 'less-trained' but trained up to the same level of competence achieved by those that...
Lot of things, I fear I'll have to answer in the text. ... ***mmmh, here the difficulty is to get a good balance. If you always use the same veterans, then...
Romuald, Nothing there that I would disagree with. I think it underlines the importance of defining personnel roles, crossover and overlap pathways. I had not...
Guys, I'd agree with Jan, this is just a subset of the management picture. But good to bring it up with a comparison in real life. I can add that in the areas...
Just a line to report on the presentation I undertook to post- graduate students at the University of London on Monday 20 April 2009. This is a link to the...
There is no way that a NEA Mines CEO, or any financial titan not associated with the govt, can "seize control" of the economy. The only thing they can do is...
 ======================================================================== =========== The Asia's largest nickel producer Jinchuan Group Ltd. (JNMC) in ...
Phil, Your relationship with government sounds very much like the mouse staring at the snake. In what you say there seems to be no connection between citizen...
Thanks Jan, Good to know how folks react, particularly young folks. And thanks a lot for sharing this with us. "In conclusion, the students were very receptive...
Yes, Ueli, conflicting demands can be a pain! However, good preparation and patience with oneself does make the task worthwhile, so I would not worry over the...
Actually what is happening in the amazon is done by people who are not "free market players". They are in fact the opposite to free market. Exactly the...
Boyd, You are right, they are not free market players. My point is this: There aren't any democratically sufficiently well mandated institutions in place in...
Lets review the two opposed opinions on the nature of an effective government in space. (A) Republic. Protection of individual rights is unconditionally...
From: Ueli Scheuermeier <uscheuermeier@...> Boyd, You are right, they are not free market players. My point is this: There aren't any democratically...
Phil, From all that you write I still fail to see how we would organize ourselves in space to take care of common concerns. Your models A and B aren't complex...
Boyd, Sorry, this is too simplistic for me. The real world doesn't work that way as far as I've seen and experienced. And space in high probability will be...
Ueli, You say my model is not "complex" enough. Â So you have a model that "IS" complex enough? (Only in a relativistic pragmatic world are basic issues of...
From: Ueli Scheuermeier <uscheuermeier@...> The Swiss political system does not work on the idea of majority vote. That wouldn't work because we are so...
You don't seem to understand what rights are. There are no rights that anyone has that incur any obligation upon anyone else except the obligation to leave...
Okay Boyd, Now let's figure out what the space polity will be. There has to be one, you know, even if it's just for making sure people don't clutter the...
Phil, All this is well and fine on a high philosophical level. However, I'm interested in the nuts and bolts of dealing with each other. As you have just...
Ueli, I have listened with great interest to the continuing dialogue on government and governance, and considering the diverse and sometimes irreconcilable...
You would have to go to the individual owners of the individual lanes. Such orbital lanes sounds like they would be very valuable. Right now they are...
From: Ueli Scheuermeier <uscheuermeier@...> Third, let's get this off the table and done with: 1. Stealing is wrong. Agreed. Provided we agree on what...
