Personally I think that social democracy as it exists in some European countries is a starting point for thinking about what direction we want to go, but it is by no means the beautiful outcome that people think it is. I just don't think that social mobility outcomes and health outcomes in social democracies have been as idyllic as people want to believe. Certainly in some ways and some countries much better than the US, but it's not a final solution. I think that we need to reengineer society to properly integrate high technology. With more fairness, but with less idealism and more practicality. Without Social Darwinism but also with an understanding of things like primate mating instincts and group hierarchies.
