I think self-selection is a huge part of the current problem. People who are drawn to political power, are likely also drawn to military power. I think this contributes to the never-ending war-mongering the U.S. does. Lobbyists, special int

It's unfortunate that zoning laws seem to keep us far away from our food and nature. The inventor of the skyscraper intended it to allow for high population density and be surrounded by nature. China's trying to do this with Sky C

Voting is how we got the current government. Choosing between two lying, corrupt politicians won't change anything. We need to replace Congress with 1 house made up of 1,000 randomly sampled citizens to get true representation.

You should also consider not buying a 3d printer at all. Everyone I know who has one says it was awesome the first month, then they don't know what to do with it. Go to http://www.makexyz.com/ and find a cheap local 3d

Not a lot of specifics on how the author wants to improve the system. Spending $100 million per course is unrealistic and it's not clear what benefit you get from that. Higher resolution 3d graphics?
