Asking for a friend.

  • Teraform Mars and Venus and do my best to setup a truly democratic post scarcity society.

    I think the hard part will be creating systems to keep any one person or group from gaming the system for power and getting them to eventually become self sufficient so I don’t need to babysit humanity for all eternity.

      truly democratic

      But is that really a good thing though? Considering most people are generally idiots and are easily brainwashed by social media.

      • I mean, alot would need to change. I don’t mean take today’s society and just plop them down on Mars. But also, truly democratic. But, look at where having people making the decisions for us had gotten us.

        I’m talking about a society where holding an office is a civic duty, not a job or a life time aspiration, but most matters of policy would be to a consensus, not the job of some career politician who’s more concerned with their career or wealth than what’s truly the best for everyone. And given this is a post scarcity society, there should be the same drive for wealth since that power dynamic shouldn’t exist anymore.
