Of course, as you might expect, I for one would prefer we transition to a system similar to what is described here: https://eosprojects.com/the-technate-soc...ality.html
I'm always interested in finding out how STS would take advantage of such a system?
Thank you for the opportunity to polarize even more, it is a great exercise for me to find ways to exploit weaknesses and to dominate.
My answer is Art, I'll promote art or the distortion of beauty, you have to understand the word art here as the essence of it rather than the word itself. Once introduced my Goal is to trigger covetousness (lust). People have an inherent bias/attraction toward beauty, we stare at the sky, ocean to mirror the inner beauty in us. Once people(leaders I presume) become aware that art is a potential weakness to their *perfect society* they might want to protect themselves from this. If they do, one of the most easiest way is to lessen their emotions which the JEDI in Star Wars practice, this is the basis of their philosophy to avoid being swayed by the dark side of the Force as they understand its distortion.
I Find that even in altruistic society people avoid being robots.
Going against one emotions create resistance which transform itself unto doubt, confusion etc. And one of the most efficient way to fight beauty is to be a robot or a JEDI which people inherently do not want to be, it's not the natural way of life or self as I understand it(bias of course). Even a robot want to feel. From then on I can watch the dice fall. I will try to multiply art or the distortion of beauty so everyone can feel it's abundance, getting entangled in its caress, whisper of love, then abruptly remove it. ut not completely. Make it (art ) scarce. From then you can guess the aftermath. People will spend trying to gain the favor of the one holding the beauty or art which value is abstract by essence spending more than just the energy unit itself.
Understand that this is the less effective but the most efficient of the 5 ways I found to take advantage of that said society. I didn't give the most effective one out of pure selfishness I assume you will understand.
Now, the flaw in this "bias" toward a better society is the same the ONE named Tesla had. You are dealing with beings not just things. They want to have fun, hardship gives that opportunity. Not everything has absolute value, Tesla wanted to ease the world so much to the point of robbing them of the idea of work. Tesla's slogan could've been summarized by electricity will work for us. For a non mature mind this means losing his job, laziness etc (things that the article pointed) but subtlety have its way with being imprevisible. You try to help everyone yet if only one misinterpret your message you have gotten yourself a virus and have to do a work of extreme patience to still convince people or get your way through this anyhow. That's why STO are rarely completely polarized toward their service. They leave some place for contrast whereas we of STS embrace the contrast totally or almost.
And this society would require highly intelligent and mature individual, child be the most susceptible toward manipulation because they take time to mature and have pretty inconsistent values and desires until those are crystallized.
This is my perspective another STS might have given another solution, I know that this is not the answer expected by many, it's far from the typical *bomb them, kill them all* etc. The goal here is control not mindless slaughter. You slaughter when the times come for slaughtering but never mindlessly.
