"democracy basically means, government by the people, of the people , for the people... but the people are retarded"

a boat + demolition material are way cheaper than a rocket + demolition material, but that's not counting micrometeorites and such.

still seems like a daft idea all in all, or a very distant one at least.

Becoming that which they would fight against might be a good strategy to get masses to move XD

took a bit of time to read your work, interesting stuff even if it triggers people XD

the full realization of Humanity's potential indeed needs to permit such Choice that you could live your whole life without seeing another Human.

I still think we can build something better, rather than hope for AI or Alien overlords taking us to the next step ;)

On average people are incapable of holding a moral position through to the end.

- Bad parenting is bad, we should have a permit for it --> are you ready to get denied the right to try having kids?

- Thou shalt not kill --> except those really bad people I don't like!

- Stealing is bad --> except when you're "starving"

Our perception of good and evil are multifaceted, with most of it happening in our background cognition.

There is a strange "mirror" stopping people from exchanging once a rift has opened. Someone else posited that it might be a fight or flight reaction.

I posit that our cognition is based on negation, and thus the shape of our tool impact our results.

we may not be wired by default to include unknown unknowns in our decision making, even when we manage to include known unknowns :p

Most people are afraid of words, not a great start for discussion :p

And then there are forbidden words, words that make you lose your job, or your freedom...

Agreed, cognition and philosophy are technologies, tools. They shape what we can extract from them.

Thus the problem is not political but philosophical, how would we decide what to do when we cant decide what is worth more. We are stuck in a local maximum, with Reality as the fitness function :p

I've noticed this too, on average people are incapable of holding a moral position through to the end.

You can play someone else's shared library if they're offline ;)

And you can be offline and still play most singleplayer games, so enjoy!
