His daughters are victims of powerful propaganda. It's sad but they'll get over it eventually.

100% central planning works for schools, corporations, farms, bicycle repair shops... It works very well.

If you think that an economy is special in this then you might want to check your sources. Consider who's telling you that

We'd do a different economy and society then. Not democratic capitalism of course. Something with total centralized control.

Our present system is vastly inefficient. 99% of our energy is spent in competition and friction. If we got properly organized, supplying the population with everything it needs would be trivial. Doubly so with heavy automation.

We'd probably go full totalitarian first, plague second.

I think that the population would just shrink. People would freak out for a month then it would become the new normal. And we'd handle it. And suddenly everything would be cheaper and lots of nice forests would grow.

That's pretty damn thin reasoning.

A 100% planned economy could handle the labor/production problems.

Why would the economy and society collapse?

Assuming overpopulation, food shortages, war, starvation, suffering of billions. Depriving people of the power to reproduce seems the kinder path.

So brave

The prime directive is a protective gimmick for the writers, to keep the plot from getting out of hand.

If you have been manipulated into accepting a fact, surely that casts the fact into doubt.

Yes, the difference between "right according to firsthand observation and judgment" and "right according to the consensus and all its organs". They are worlds apart. That is the nub of my gist here.

The world is not an action movie with clear divisions between good and bad. Keep that in mind.

No, I meant right as in correct.

I doubt that final clause. Sure you can free yourself of your truths. You only need to sacrifice a bit of face, ego and maybe certainty.
