What about a kind of market system of states? The purpose of the states will be will be to provide a habitat matching each citizen’s values and lifestyle?
-Each state will have it’s own constitution and rules.
-Each person can pick the state they wish to live in assuming they are accepted in based on the state’s rules.
-The amount of resources and territory allocated to each state is proportional to the number of citizens that choose to live there.
-There are certain universal meta-rules that supercede the states’ rules such as…
-A citizen may leave a state at any time and may not be held in a state against his or her will.
-No killing or significant non-consensual physical harm permitted; at most a state could permanently exile a citizen.
-There are some exceptions such as the decision power of children and the mentally ill.
-Etc.
Anyways, this is a rough idea of what I would do with unlimited power. I would build this, unless I came across a better idea. In my vision, citizens will tend to move into states they prefer and avoid states they dislike. Over time good states will grow and bad states will shrink or collapse. However states could also specialize and for example, you could have a small state with rules and a lifestyle just right for a small dedicated population. I think this is an elegant way of not imposing a monolithic “this is how you should live” vision on every person in the world yet the system will still kill bad states and favor good states whatever those attractors are.
P.S. In this vision I assume the Earth is “controlled”(meta rules only) by a singleton super-AI with nanotech. So we don’t have to worry about things like crime(forcefields), violence(more forcefields) or basic necessities such as food.
