Exchange: Party Schisms

What is a political party? Are there any differences between political parties?  What purposes do political parties serve?  Is a two party system all we have?  This month’s Li Zhao’s Intellectual Salon, Idea Exchange topic is “Party Schisms”.

Ken Schoolland will moderate this forum with Q&A to follow with Arvid Youngquist a Hawaii Democrat, Dan Douglass a Hawaii Republican and Larry Bartley a Hawaii Libertarian.

Free Market Wins

The free market is more efficient and flexible because there are millions of people making the best decisions for themselves.  No authority could make decisions for individuals better than the individuals themselves.  

Singularity

The first monthly salon, hosted Sunday December 7th by Li Schoolland, was pleasant and optimistic.  The guest speaker believes that the future will change at an ever increasingly rapid rate toward an event call the singularity.   The technological singularity is a theoretical future point of unprecedented technological progress, caused in part by the ability of machines to improve themselves using artificial intelligence.
