#Deliberation

Deliberative democracy is a system where citizens, with a cup of tea in hand, engage in interminable debate to produce something resembling agreement. After stacking pleasant-sounding phrases, a multitude of opinions end up hanging in mid-air without resolution, like an endless encore performance. Proponents celebrate the triumph of reason, while participants flee from meeting rooms to Twitter. In the end, only a shared sense of fleeting euphoria remains, a theatrical illusion devoid of real impact.

Reflection is the magical incantation that births eternal whitespace on endless nights of meetings. As the furrowed brow deepens, the air tenses until no conclusion dare emerge. It has become an official ceremony to postpone decisions, praising silence under the banner of reflection. Eventually, thought loses its purpose and wanders into a labyrinth of self-indulgence. Reserved only for those determined to waste time with solemn dedication.
