Then we need to fundamentally re-engineer society.
This is a fundamentally elitist concept that led to countless deaths over the course of the 20th century. Everyone was out to help the common man and somehow ended in an equilibrium involving gulags.
- ilaksh 11y agoWhat's elitist about it? 'We' need to do it together, not some select group. I am not saying have some bloody revolution. You would have to be mindful of history and make incremental improvements.
- blfr 11y agoIt's elitist because realistically only a small group of people will agree on any particular redesign of society. You don't expect it to be completely unanimous, do you? And the group which pushes through their version is the elite.
- ilaksh 11y agoMy idea is you need to have base protocols or metalanguages that people can build on and freely evolve the system. So its not a static design but a dynamic process based on a shared information systems platform. The goal is to make that platform as flexible as possible so that anyone can create new designs, but you can still automate integrations and do holistic calculations.
