Syntagma’s mini-series on Superdemocracy ( Pt1, Pt2, Pt3 ) has elicited a few emails, one of which was the offer of a book deal from a decent publisher.

Good? Like all of life’s little packages, yes and no.

Yes, because I would like to expand on the topic a lot more and a book project is always a pleasure to conceive — if not always to execute.

No, because Syntagma Media is running away with my time like the mettlesome horse it is. Sometime I feel like that chariot driver in the Tarot pack. I’ve already had to merge two book projects ( The Nirvaneans and Cosmosity ) into one because of time constraints, and while that definitely benefits both books by cutting duplication, it does limit the conceptual canvas they began with.

I’ve also had offers for Syntagma Media which fall short of a vague minimum I set myself at the outset. However, the offers and the price are coming closer.

I’m writing all this down because it illustrates some of the principles of Superdemocracy itself. In your own life you need to concentrate on the things you do best or your precious energy will spurt out in all directions and attenuate into a bunch of small achievements signifying nothing.

The 80/20 Principle is Superdemocracy as applied to the individual. You see how this stuff is already out there and working.

Incidentally, someone has snapped up superdemocracy.com, apparently very recently. I’ll be watching to see if they take any of my material. I have got the .org though.
