MODERATORS
A government could be good. In theory:
I'm sure there's other ideas regarding this.
Who asseses people's capabilities in this system? As they are likely the most powerful people.
With 1 year and no second term they're just gonna steal everything within their reach from day 1, so we need to balance it with:
Then, maybe.
It'd need to be a system that automates itself instead of needing surveillance. Something that simply disincentivizes corruption.
How about "if you accept the bribe, report it and do nothing, you can keep it"?
Control goes back further than just territories to tribes. The tribe identity is only later tied to specific locations. Tribes formed because pooling resources burdens and learning was more efficient than doing it all yourself. From there, the tribes expanded and joined together and eventually settled into one location. So I disagree that oppressors just decided one day.
1 per square kilometer is physically impossible unless you plan on finding a way to kill 7.9 billion people.
Earth has 146 million square kilometers of land.
It's a neat idea but I think "the largest genocide in the history of humanity" kinda outweighs your solution.
You won't see it in your lifetime. About 150,000 people die a day assuming no natural disasters or disease. 7.9 billion / 150,000 = 52,666 days. About 144 years for your dream.
Can't tell whether sarcasm or high.
Yeah, we know, politicians.
The Chinese who took over Hong Kong don't seem very fictional.
