Huh. I’ve never thought about the whims of the market as being tyranny. Let’s break that down. The whims of the market are just the sum total of the whims of each person. It’s not tyrannical for someone to say “I no longer want to use my time to acquire the widget you make”. That’s just them deciding to live their life differently. Would you agree with that?

In the society I’m thinking of, people still have a social duty to their community. That obligation just doesn’t have a gun on the other side.

Someday maybe AI will plan everything for us. It’ll probably be doing everything cognitive good. And like we’ve talked, eventually manual.

I hope there can be a way for people who agree with you to test your ideas out! If I get what I hope for, there will be. I’m hope you’d agree that forcing them on unwilling people is unseemly.

I do agree that forcing an unpopular idea is contrary to democratic principles, which I support.

Democratic principles = forcing the minority to do what the majority thinks

Democratic principles = majority rule with minority protections.

Haha agreed. An earlier version of that note mentioned those protections. The issue for me is that those protections will go away too if there is enough of a majority.
