My.....technocratic oligarchy? Sure, yeah. Notice you have to assume that most people agree on what's good and that you know what that is. It's a solved problem, it's just a matter of implementing it. > If I invest $100 in protecting a public good....So I'll only invest if everyone else chips in, too. Public goods are non-rivalrous, another person consuming the good has no effect on you. So out of spite you're going to go against your own best interest because you think it's better to punish other people than to purchase a good that you would purchase if you could just figure out how to exclude them from using it. That's valuing the suffering of others over your own well-being. Going back to how hard it is to figure out what people think is "good".....
