Of course, many people often ask, what about democracy? Is this
system
a democracy? How do I participate in the
system
? Do we elect the Interdisciplinary teams? In a Resource-Based, Global Economy, where "industry" and "government" are combined into a Cybernated System that incorporates advanced problem solving database computers, coupled with vast planetary wide observation sensors, the traditional concepts of politics, elections and the like have no relevance or basis. While this notion scares a lot of traditionally minded people, it must be reiterated that our problems in life are technical, and nothing more. Democracy in today's world is an illusion. It always was. People think they have "choice" in our current
system
because they can press a button on a voting machine and put some pre-selected person into power. Once that person is in power, the public then has no power. Did you
vote
for the space program? Did you
vote
for the cabinet of the new president? Did you
vote
for the tax cut? Did you
vote
for where highways or power grids go? Did you
vote
for the war in Iraq? No, you

n't. The traditional concept of a "participatory democracy" is a cruel joke. The game has been used to give the public the illusion of control for countless generations, while the distorted monetary powers at the top continue to do whatever they please. There never was a true democracy in any country in history and there never will be as long as the monetary
system
is in operation and scarcity is perpetuated. So how would a person participate within a Resource-Based Economy? First, they would interact with the Central Database System program, which would likely come in the form of an advanced Internet web page which every person has access to. They would then input their proposal. The Central Database, with its historical knowledge databases and full integration of all scientific fields, would then analyze the concept for its scientific and technical integrity along with optimizing the materials required based on current understandings and availabilities. If the proposal makes logical sense and the optimized resources to make it happen are available, it would be turned over to the Interdisciplinary Teams that oversee the implementation of the new proposal and orient it into the
system
. These Interdisciplinary Teams would be selected and organized by the Central Database Program, based on what they have already contributed to the
system
. This is a true "election", based on what a person has done, not what they say they will do. Furthermore, the public's fear of traditional "corruption" will have no basis, for there is no reward for it. The Interdisciplinary Teams do not get "paid" in any way, for their worldviews have been expanded to realize that their reward is, in fact, the fruits of the society as a whole and they contribute because they want to! While this might be difficult to consider for those who have been
