You all realize there are nerds who specialize in warfare and combat? Just making a random point as a high IQ Assperger type. I have a hard time staying within the general flow of conversations, but I know all types of ways to kill things.

What are the control variables here? Are you trying to change the way people are organized (concentrated or dispersed responsibility)? Are you trying to change the level of honesty on the part of the rulers (get them to stop lying so much about how altruistic they are)? Or are you trying to change the culture (family is important vs. wealth is important vs. this time we really mean it about being hyper-altruistic)?

Is fixing what’s wrong with Singapore a job for statesmen or a job for priests?

If the priests teach people perverse things, or fail to teach people proper things, about who or what is worthy of their loyalty, what should the statesmen do differently?

Whenever I bring this up in arguments against socialists, they always retort that governance and the economy are ‘not isomorphic’ and can’t be argued about by analogy. I haven’t looked into why that should be the case though.

Still, in 2014 it should be second nature to be suspicious of anyone claiming to act unconditionally in the interests of ‘everyone’. That just seems intuitively obvious.
