My point is simply that we can solve this. However, we will not solve this for the following reasons.
1. Most of humanity is beyond stupid. Ask Einstein.
2. Most of hunanity is tribal. They care only for their own survival and the survival of their own friends and family.
3. Most of hunanity are followers. They have no capacity to go where no one has gone before. People are into group think because they fear being the odd one out. And the group is has no ability for strategy, etc..
4. Fuck the people who have other ambitions. They'll probably die when some people get so angry with their self-involvement and shoot them. It happened in the French Revolution and it happened in the Russian Revoluton. Since when have human beings ever had the luxury of doing what they like. This is a very new thing, and it simply doesn't work. It's unrealistic.
5. One simply ensures that there are no power elite by structuring government in such a way that everybody services for 3 or 4 months, and then someone else takes over.
The point is that if we wanted to solve these problems, we could. However, we won't.
