ChesneyChrist: Either we get a constitutional AI named Napoleon one day or all the troubles we're going through now trigger a massive personality change in our kids. We will develop the ability to make reasonable decisions or give some or all of that power away, it depends what happens to the Mr Beans who have proliferated since after WWII; if they manage to cheat death in the 21st century like they did the last 50 years we will get Naopleon.
And imo AI was made for bureaucracy and administration; the function of the state. It's not supposed to deliver creativity and innovation, no, the state is there to provide a stable and dependable average like a computer does.

And maybe out of that we discover the correct way of divvying society. Real capitalism is good for the top 20% of any nation, Trump capitalism adds another 60% in one nation at the expense of all others creating a national capitalism where even people of lesser abilities are too nationally advantaged to lose.
And then there's social democracy which is made for people who work to live and is ideal for the genetic middling ranks(social democracy produces the largest middle class), and then there's Communism which is best for the bottom 20% of the gene pool.
But a computer may make it so a talented individual generally experiences the world as a capitalist and the less talented do not a little bit like how the grammar school system once worked. I believe that only a machine can deliver the greatest good for the greatest number because the machine has no bias or vested interest in one system over the other it may even be able to tailor policy according to the abilities of each individual without collapsing into corruption.
ChesneyChrist: Alongside AI you could have a figurehead leader like our Queen to kneel before. The need for strongmen and personality leaders can be provided for. The desire of the feminine crowd for a solid rock can be met, but you don't give real responsiblity to the badly-educated con artists who inspire the foolish and weak through pomp and ceremony, you leave the actual function of the world to the workhorse AI.
It may seem crazy from the perspective of today because of attitudes, but how did society recover after the world wars? Through science, technology and being repressively reasonable against the popular convictions of idiots they were nevr going to listen to again after the 1930s and 40s. We need the 1950s that generation of sober grown ups who deliver a very real improvement in the conditions of mankind through faith in technical progress.
jac_the_gripper: The duck-billed platypus community. Plainly, they have an existential approach to making things up as they go along. Also, they look less ridiculous than the conniving politicians.
Hmm Is that Management level Philoshophy Jac ? - As it's near the start of the 6 nations How about spelling it out in Real workshop language for an ex Prop and lifelong Welsh supporter
