W1Reptilocracy 🦎🏛️ Not In Our Term

Teaser

Not In Our Term is the quiet rule: if the bill arrives after your window, the room acts like it never happened.

TLDR

The room quietly agrees that damage only counts if it lands before the next election cycle. What kind of nervous system treats tomorrow’s cost as someone else’s job, and still calls that leadership?

Context

This scene shows future blindness in action: we treat future harm as less real than present discomfort. Election cycles, quarterly targets, and media pressure reward short-term wins, so pushing costs forward feels practical, even responsible.

Responsibility spreads across time and roles, so no one feels fully accountable for long-term damage. “We inherit the future from no one, so we spend it freely.” Systems without basic psychological filters keep promoting people who stay calm by exporting risk instead of carrying it.

BUT WHY:

This is part of an experiment: we are keeping count of how many scenes it takes before we agree that leaders with real power should prove they are psychologically fit to hold it.

By turning our instincts and hive habits into animals, the project asks why we still let untested nervous systems run entire societies.

In a world where one unstable nervous system can scale to entire institutions, this project treats Reptilocracy as the cartoon diagnosis and points to one concrete step: a public petition for stronger checks, balances, and psychological fitness standards for Australia’s top leaders.
