Do you have a form of government you invented/conceived, either as an idea or for fiction (or a favorite from someone else)? How does it work?

  • A lot of things of value are very hard to measure.

    X degree influences can be very hard to measure.

    You may hit your target metric, but secondary effects may be making the whole system worse.

    Ideally you could A/B a parallel universe to isolate your specifc change, but that is challenging.

  • Agreed we are not in a good spot and unlimited population is not sustainable. However, sex education, access to birth control, and strong women's rights is the answer in my opinion not 'enforcing' limits - which reads as an authoritarian dystopia to me. Economic growth is good as long as it's decoupled from natural resource use/impact.

  • Alternatively, if there was no Google or Google like company, we would likely be much further along in tech, and have better functioning democracies. They have limited innovation in maps and search products. They rely on being big to be competitive. Their products are pretty poor given their engineering team size. Digital advertising: they bought their way into a quasi monopoly, siphoning dollars from people that actually create things.
