Questions regarding your ideology:

Who picks this group of apparently enlightened humans?

How do they make the world come to together?

How do they deal with those who don't want to come together?

How would they deal with future generations who don't want to live under their rule?

Reply to This “Climate-Friendly” Fuel Comes With an Astronomical Cancer Risk: Almost half of products cleared so far under the new federal biofuels program are not in fact biofuels — and the EPA acknowledges that the plastic-based ones may present an “unreasonable risk” to human health or the environment. by nastratin

Remember how these weirdos pushed trans fat over saturated fat because it's better for the earth and doesn't rely on animals?.... Only to come out years later that eating trans fats are absolutely terrible for your health. These are the same nutcases that want us to eat grinded bugs and eat fake meats made out of soy.

Reply to comment by whitepepper in US 'develops' AI-powered facial recognition tech for military robot drones - The drones are to be tasked with expeditionary roles, including special operations, to "open the opportunity for real-time autonomous response by the robot." by Gari_305

To the dead person?

If you're talking about the difference between a person and the government, I assure you, if the government wants you dead, they don't need murderbots.

I have full faith and confidence in the ability of the US government to end my life if they wanted to. Don't you?

Global reformation is a really tough call. I understand the desire for global alteration, because it feels like chemotherapy is necessary for cancer.

First idea: Be the example you want to see in the world. People are ultimately sheep-like and will emulate the values that they see that work. In order for values we wish to see propagated in the world to manifest we must start with ourselves.

Second idea: A website that creates argument maps/trees for every narrative/conversation that is occurring. This way, we can drill through every argument and see what rational arguments are made at the very bottom. It needs to be flexible enough that one can point out hypocrisies and why certain issues are compatible or not compatible with certain values.

I'm not as confident idea 2 would work, but it's something that's been floating in my head. I'm not confident because irrational types are only interested in rational arguments as long as it's for their cause, as soon as it's against it's discarded, but at the very least we can disarm the bullshit in this world so it won't be as dangerous.
