A more optimal system would surely require a sophisticated technical implementation. I don't think the problem with that proposal is with technical people, but more so with the culture and organizational structures that rise to the top under within our current system. A super-wealthy, benevolent entity + good culture + comprehensively good ideas + a good technical implementation seems like what we need right about now - making this happen under the circumstances we find ourselves in seems like the tricky part. EDIT: "good" would probably be more accurately stated as "sufficiently adequate".
