Let's accept that the present state of affairs is the optimum one at this
stage in time. There is a stage of "creative destruction" coming that will
shift major paradigms, a precursor of which is the Internet.
What would be even more useful, than your ideas proposed above, would be
to pre-determine the possibilities of the stable stage of affairs AFTER
the stage of creative descruction is over. How will all elements
"self-organize?" How do we describe the state of affairs from as many
viewpoints as possible? What viewpoints?
I mean, 30 years from now will be my retirement years, I want to know if
Social Security will still be around. :)
