Social science is based on statistics and philosophy. You betray your ignorance. Right now you are entrusting your future to Rupert Murdoch and the Chinese Communist Party. They are the actors who will most shape your collective future. Scientists are a much better option. Rule by experts - meritocracy - is the only way to save this dying economy.

>Social science is based on statistics and philosophy. You betray your ignorance. Or you do. From what I can tell social scientists are scientists in the same way Christian Scientists are scientists. They start with the answer and work backwards. >Scientists are a much better option. Rule by experts - meritocracy - is the only way to save this dying economy. First of all, command economies, which is what you're talking about whether or not you want to admit it, have left a string of wreckage and bodies. Economics by science is exactly what the communists thought they were doing. Thanks all the same, but I'll pass. And secondly, the economy is not "dying". It's trying to do what market economies do if you leave them alone - adjust to new circumstances and start growing again. The last think we need to do is have people start making decisions from the top.

  You're an ignorant uneducated anti-intellectual with strong opinions on stuff you have no experience with and have spent no time investigating. You repeat the slave morality taught to Evangelical Christians by the Goldman Sachs psychopaths to whom you bow down. The economic system is entering a period of peak instability to be followed by transformation. You'll hear about after it has completed, at the same time American Idol fans become aware. Such is the fate of the anti-intellectual who shuns knowledge and education. So be it.

  Maybe we actually can implement meritocracy without a command hierarchy. It's a problem of technological limitation, that might be theoretically solvable. http://hyperarchy.com http://hyperarchy.com http://liquidfeedback.org http://liquidfeedback.org
