Futurology

I'm more interested in the evolution of systems or game theory than ideology. Or nitpicking about word definitions, after all most words have different meanings depending on context (how authoritarian of you to try to deny the meaning of my words haha).

And yeah you'd need a large scale purge in the US. Nationalize all news and social media and turn them into democratic cooperatives with regulations and some kind of fund backing them, removing state control again. And maybe sortition to bypass the mechanisms in elections and politics that filters for those who are selfish and best at gaining power, but generally not good for other people. Getting money out of politics isn't enough, you need to get politics out of elections.

I believe the general myopia in these times is partially because we're out of ideas in what to try. While a respect China's achievements, I wouldn't want to live there - and can't anyway because they just don't allow any immigration. Partially the CCPs success is because their and the people's goals are aligned (prosperity, education). So while I'm a socialist at heart, I don't believe in any of the various types of socialism or anarchism as a panacea either. Basically we're running out of time until climate change leads to global collapse and we do not even have any new system to try for after yet.

I guess I'm mostly interested in "harm reduction" based on specific rules of a system, and based on new technology. E.g. a planned economy using modern IT, crowd polling, AI would be infinitely easier, more efficient and more democratic.
