Everybody is trained perfectly in emergent behavior, city planning, logistics, construction, architecture, and everything else that we need experts for in order to make a large civilization work. Everyone has the same crazy notion that doing what is best for the people at large is good, because they raise their own quality of life on a statistical level and have no way to know if performing any given selfish act would do more for them than doing what is best for society. All citizens are connected to the internet and submit regular updates about their surounding area to an online database. All citizens have access to this database. Because every person is perfectly trained, perfectly informed, and wants what is best for the people at large, every person will want to do the same thing. Everybody assumes that whoever is in the best position to do whatever is best for society will do it. Whoever is in the best position to do whatever that is does it. When a road is needed, everyone who lives along the length of the road walks out to the portion of the road nearest where they live and starts working. Whoever lives nearest the power plants makes sure they run. When another power plant is needed, everyone near the optimal spot for the new power plant builds it. When a power plant is no longer in an optimal spot, people build a new one then dissassemble the old one. Whoever disagrees with this will disagree based on it going against human nature. Human nature is horribly easy to fiddle with. The real problem is getting everyone perfectly trained. For starters, it'd help if someone, anyone at all, would actually understand some of those things that I mentioned everyone needing to know. |

| That's not a perfect system. That's not even a system, what you've essentially proposed is "if we can change people from being lazy selfish short-sighted stupid slobs then we will be able to have a better government".
Well, duh. Hell, you've even proposed an end to disagreement because "everyone will be properly educated about things". Um, have you ever been among educated people? even those in the same profession? Turning EVERYONE into an academic or planning bureaucrat is not going to end disagreement. At all. EVER. Any system that requires you to change people utterly in order to make them fit the system you've dreamt up isn't worth the magical fairy-dust moon-sparkle paper it's written on. Better men than you have tried to make people change to fit their ideal system, and it always ends horribly. (edited by Arwon on 04-07-06 12:30 AM) |
