SC: My concern is that…the obvious. With any system there will be somebody who’s going to be disagreeable and wants to exploit people. How would we try and prevent that?
AS: The question then becomes, how does this exploiting occur on a planet where everyone can live as richly as they choose? No one has to stay with anyone else unless they choose to. In any circumstance where mostly the people we associate with are the people we like. It’s not like you have to have that person in your life like the boss that you hate. Or that weird co-worker that you have to put up with everyday. This is one of the top reasons for social friction. What I see is what I call social superconductance. Because no longer will we be having a situation where we will have to deal with people that we don’t want to deal with.
We can say, “I’m outty!” and go somewhere else. You ask about exploitation. There really isn’t any way to exploit other people accept on a personal basis. Where you can have a lot of charisma and get people to believe what your saying. Even then, if your ideas are wacko, on the whole scope of the planet there not going to get very far.
