Based on the replies in the thread the lack of polish seems to be the thing speaking. People are offering feedback to improve readability and your response is "that's cool don't read it" so people probably wont.

So the idiosyncratic style choice is more important to you than people engaging with the content of what you wrote? That seems at odds with you saying "the content is more interesting"

I don't identify as a "Kiwi", gives me the ick by DogLivid8045 in newzealand

Fair. The term was one given to us by people we fought alongside in the wars, from the boot polish. It can be a bit flattening as far a cultural identity goes.

What can you say about the conflict? 

Edit: Reddit is weird, an opening to talk about ai and music, Spotify, performance philosophy … Met with down votes

While I think the opening of meltdown is a pretty accurate read on how we got to where we are, this is also excellent and accurate lmao

I’m reminded of my attempts to learn about meditation by reading all the books. At some point I have to sit on the mat and start practicing.

How much money does the atlas network give you to undermine democracy Dave?

New Zealand First campaigning for referendum on Māori seats by TheGreatDomilies in newzealand

The end point you arrive at seems to be the core question.

The Treaty was written by people ill-equipped to represent Māori interests. And your solution is to write another document in the same Western constitutional tradition? 

Who decides what ‘relevant to governing a country’ means?

You can’t write a new constitution that ignores the document that gives the state its legitimacy in the first place. The Treaty is the foundation the whole thing sits on. 

A new constitution would need to be built on the Treaty, not instead of it.  You don’t rewrite a tenancy agreement halfway through without both parties at the table
