One of the single greatest things the internet has given humanity is that it has lifted countless millions if not a billion from poverty levels to middle to upper class. The second thing it has done is create new sciences and allowed above average IQ people to capitalize on those sciences to create new products in the word. Again money. 

However, is this economic uplifting worth the social and psychological damage it has done to humanity? None of it would survive a coronal mass ejection (CME) and humanity would be worse off than before the advent of it. The only people would survive an event like that would be completely isolated agrarian societies. 

 

The internet has given us unlimited information. For every research paper there are a hundred articles written against it. For every negative article there are a dozen positive, then negative against, ad infinitum. 

 

Objective truth is dead in an area of unlimited information. Humanity wasn't meant to hear the collective voices of a billion people looking for attention. The average individual is incapable of finding truth reliably when all it takes is an algorithm change in a search engine to create a new sense of reality. 

 

Different people who consume different news sources have different realities. tribalism and objective truth cannot exist in society as it is currently constructed. This is where radical centrism and contrarianism comes into play, if not need for human survival at this point in our history.

Bad ideas can easily come into focus and steer the nation, if not the world, into new and uncharted territories. The same can be said for new, but lets face facts, human psychology dictates that humans focus on the negative as a survival instinct. This is why there are new news channels that show 100% positive news coverage. No one cares. No one gives a shit someone crawled their way from poverty and became a functional member of society. Nay.

​

Contrarianism takes what is popular in society and turns it on its head. It doesn’t even need to have an introspective moment. It doesn’t need to objectivity its merits but merely defecates on anything that can be defecated on for the simple fact that it is popular. This was once called grunge now it is called shit posting, both are seemingly philosophically correct and desperately needed en masse. This is needed because no idea regardless of how sound it appears should go unchallenged.

Radical centrism takes this notion and focuses it on political matters. It society seems to be drifting more Left, an radical centrists moves Right. If a bill moves the needle Right the centrist moves Left. Rarely does anything ever fall squarely in the middle.

A radical centrist is one who has principles to upheld, who doesn’t take money from interests groups, who in fact hates government despite working for the “man.” A radical centrists takes the “punk” movement and applies it to politics.

This is the political stance of the Novum Carta.
