🎓 Doc Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱Let me clarify what i meant. I didn’t mean just that it would be difficult in practice. What i meant is that not even in theory is it clear how «a market where utility is the determiner of profit» could be made to work.
From your perspective that is very understandable. I would completely expect that it would be unclear how it would work in theory, because as I said the theory is extraordinarily complex when it comes to any system of government. Since I have not conveyed the full details of such a system to you, due to time and complexity, it is perfectly understandable you dont have that information and therefore it would be unclear.
However from my perspective, as someone who has put a great many man hours into the study of such systems and have considering it in great detail to formulate my stance it is quite clear both in theory and practice. Being complex in no way implies it isnt clear.
It is likewise perfectly understandable you wouldnt just take my word for it, nor should you. The best I can do is answer your questions where you happen to remain confused and alleviate some minor aspects of your confusion and get you closer to understanding. If such conversations go on for an extended period of time you would either come to understand the theory, or find holes in it and thus I would refine my stance further.
Thats simply the nature of complex systems, and it is why governments tend to fail, most people are not good with high complexity, and therefore democracies are a bit paradoxical in that you are trying to get people bad at complex things to be the ones making decisions about complex things. This is why most governments fail.
