Comment on How would you run a society?
Kookie215@lemmy.world 1 day agoOh the like-minded thing gives me a dilemma because ideally I would want them to be blank-minded and be taught by you from scratch, but that doesn’t really work for adult humans they have to have a basic level of intelligence, otherwise it would take years and years just to teach them how to properly human the way it takes babies. We can’t start them all as babies. Hmmm.

Yes if I was raising clone babies there would be zero percent chance of establishing a civilization in my lifetime

Your lifetime would be 1,000 years, but I agree, even if you spent the first 50 years raising a village to then raise all the other babies, it would still take way too much time to get it right. So we would either have to pluck copies of real life humans, or program them to know and think what we want them to. I’m not sure which I prefer.

Programmed is a recipe for inhuman humans. Do we really want a society built on a collection of archtype blank slates based on what aliens think we are like or worse yet, what an ai thinks we are like? Originals, copies or babies are the only real options. But if their able to make copies why would they choose a brain damaged disabled person as the administrator? Thinking logically about fantasy hypotheticals always leads to holes

You would have to explain the whole gig to every copy and I just don’t think you could convince 1 million people who have memories of their friends and families and lifestyles to co-operate in starting a new society from scratch, they would just fight each other and bring back capitalism and probably blame whoever their political adversary is at the time for ending up on New Earth. Humans with Old Earth memories would be impossible to work with.
But Idk I maybe they fight for 20 years and decide they might as well give it a shot with the humans that are left and then your society starts, hard to really say. None of its ethical, thats for sure.
