ok, beware, thin ice.

Before you go down that path, let me show you some useful stepping stones I've crossed on the road to the same systems question.

- how we got here > Scott Alexander Siskind’s book review of Joseph Henrich: The Secret of Our Success Cultural induced learning. "Humans evolved to transmit culture with high fidelity. And one of the biggest threats to transmitting culture with high fidelity was Reason." [1] :) yep...

- decisionmaking is fundamentally messy > complexity & the problem with scientific evidence [2]

- dialogue is key to better decision making > Chapter 8 at 42:20 [3]

- dialogue, fundamentally embedded in governance. Reaching wide support is far more effective than majority rule. Felber [4] uses Systemic Consensus [5] at 12:00 (5 minutes) . Scaleable and digital [6].

So a lot to try first before we go down that irreversible transhumanistic [7] path :)
