This is literal:  You are the (partial) Sovereign of Your Own Country.

You need to do a better job running it.

Ah! – but you don’t have time!

True. But typically, every day, don’t you spend some time sitting on your own thrown at home – anyway – with little to do but read?

So, here you will find a series of basic, short essays – designed to be read in the time it takes to do a job while you are sitting on your thrown.

20 minutes, tops.

Basic short essays on concepts in how to be a better & more effective sovereign – that can be read in a single ‘sit down’ bathroom break.

And they are simple and easy.

How is that? .

We are also assuming many working people are generally too busy to keep track of civics and have lives too hectic to find time to settle down and read, except for the short duration that occurs during a ‘sit down’ bathroom break, which means for (some) men, I suppose,  in some cases,  I’m competing with porn and with the case of women, the articles have to be short.

Most of this content overlaps with the “Mechanisms in Civics” thread.  For the most part, things are just in a different order. 

You, me, we, people in general, can all be at a loss for everything that goes on around us, especially in terms of the barrage of data we get day in and day out,…

…but not in terms of mechanisms.

The data is a barrage that’s thrown at you.  It appears disordered and can be complicated.

But the Mechanisms in Civics, they are simple and easy.

They say that history repeats itself.  It doesn’t really. History is linear – everything happens only once.  It’s the mechanisms in civics that repeat themselves, and they do so over and over again, though in different mixtures with different mechanisms.

If you know and focus on the mechanisms in civics, then it makes it easier to make sense of the data thrown at daily from media

If you know the basic mechanisms in civics, it’s much easier to run your country and much harder to be manipulated by someone or something with an interest &/or agenda alien to your own.

So, while you are spending your daily constitutional 20 minutes on your own thrown at home, pick out and read a post here.  In a very short time you will become a Jedi-knight in the field of civics. Hopefully you and your country will be the better for it.

(we are operating on the theory that in a democratic republic ever single citizen is a sovereign – and so has the same station & status as a King, a Queen, albeit with markedly different kinds of thrones. Still you have a duty to run your country – and you have a duty to run it well. So here’s a low investment chance to do just that.)
