Perhaps you can’t imagine a city-state without taxes, laws,
or elected representatives. Perhaps you
can’t imagine that this city-state also provide a guaranteed $12,000 annual
income to each adult citizen plus a viable health plan.
How is this possible? Let me discuss the claim that no elected representatives are needed, as an example. One possible solution would be a Lottocracy whereby representatives are chosen from a pool of viable and tested applicants. All people that want to be representatives would take a test. The top 25% would be placed into a lottery pool. The representatives would then be randomly drawn from the pool. The resulting body of representatives would be a cross section of the sexes, ages, professions and races. The representatives would not be mostly male lawyers, as is the present situation in America. Under a Lottocracy, representatives would be engineers, teachers, doctors and anybody that can score in the top 25% in a test of logic, IQ, and truth. Perhaps a vote could be called to reject a lottery selection. There are many possible scenarios all that yield a better aggregate representative body than our current group of lawyer-politicians. Perhaps you can’t imagine a civilization where everyone can own his or her own business. Perhaps you can’t imagine a civilization where a healthy person can become a professional athlete, an actress, or a model. Perhaps you can’t imagine a civilization where every intelligent person can earn a living as a doctor, an engineer, a builder, or a manufacturing entrepreneur. Why isn’t the United States a Utopia? One reason is that the USA has a supply-demand curve that is frequently like a cliff. You can make twenty million as a star athlete or lose half your life in a fruitless pursuit of the goalThis would be a fun place for all to live because it offers a fun and interesting alternate reality. Live your dreams in a Utopian City-State! A hundred square miles of property would secure an investment. Utopian City-States Inc. primarily needs a benefactor to buy a hundred square miles of property and rent it to us. You don't know how good a government can be! |
