    All policies and political structures should be tested to see their influence on HDI, GDPPP, and environmental impact. Whatever improves people’s lives should be kept and whatever doesn’t should be ignored. Why have beliefs when we can have knowledge.

      why have beliefs when we can have knowledge

      Do you know how hard people are to manipulate once they have knowledge? We can’t go around informing people, it would be anarchy!

      There’s a country that appoints leaders for 3-5 years, and then measures stuff like human health, gdp, poverty, and uses this information to determine where to assign them next, if at all.

        That’s cool, who is it? The idea is this would be applied to everything, that is we don’t need to believe socialism or capitalism or communism is a good or bad idea, we can test it and get measurable proof.

      Because humans are storytellers, not scientist by nature. Better (and not necessary for plebeians) story, bigger impact. For example religions or money have diminished our freedom-loving characteristics to almost none-existence, but they sure are good concepts to knit us together to form a society.
