Let's mutate the economy. Once you realize that civilization is just an agreement among conscious individuals, you understand that if we can all agree to something we can cause change. It seems to me that the majority of today's problem's go back to economic issues, so let's change the economy. Just by 1%, if you think you can handle that. If you wish, you can take this as my 'white guilt' apology, because saying you're sorry about something without offering up a solution is BS.

How much is enough? What makes you satisfied? If we used some ideas from evolution, could we figure out a better way to structure our civilization? The idea for today is runaway selection, a type of evolution that produces some quirky adaptations. If it is acting in our economic adaptation of capitalism, is there a way to fix it?

How can we change the current capitalist economy to make life better for more people? That communism thing didn't work very well. What if we just put a 'cap' on capitalism? What if we opened up all the financial records for individual accounts over $100,000, and we let everybody see where the money goes? Do we really need billionaires telling us what we should be doing? Because that's what we have right now - you can buy the politicians of your choice, and get them to vote for what you want, if you have the money to spend. I think we should be spending a little bit more of it on payrolls and healthcare and education and retirement accounts for everybody, not just the 1%.
