Because you said that the state is the currently chosen arbiter for said violence and I agree.

At the same time I believe we can do better while the new arbiter of soft power (still violence) shifts to a technocratic model.

Don't fight the old fights. Prepare for the new system.

A government is a government. It doesn't matter who is in charge. What matters is how much the system facilitates negotiation.

I have heard people say that the ideal political system is one with a single benevolent and immortal dictator , but those people are wrong. Dictatorships don't respect citizens. It doesn't matter who is in charge.

A technocratic model sounds like a really fancy dictatorship. Have I misunderstood your proposal?

This is not my proposal. This is where I see humanity heading for.

And yes chances are abyssimal small that a technocratic structure won't result inna full blown dictatorship.

That's not what I was saying at all. I just don't know what you mean by a "technocratic" structure. Can you tell me what would make one government technocratic as opposed to non-technocratic?
