Futurology

Yep.

It's all smoke and mirrors for power brokers.

The biggest problem (after the power brokers), is that none of the proposed ideas can be proven to achieve the intended effect. Frankly I don't think it's possible, with a system this complex.

We can't even make changes to software/computers and consistently predict the outcome, and these are systems built by man that are multiple orders of magnitude less complex and chaotic.
