You point out several problems in the world: people have unhealthy lifestyles, nuclear power isn’t used to its full potential, ecosystems are not protected, our social lives are not in accordance with human flourishing. Then you say all these problems could be solved by a “cooperation machine”. But you don’t seem to explain why these problems could be solved by the same “machine”. Maybe they’re all separate problems that need to be solved separately.
Maybe one exercise to try is holding off on proposing solutions. Can you discuss the problems in more detail, but without mentioning any solutions? Can you point out commonalities between the problems themselves? For example, “all these problems would be solved by a cooperation machine” wouldn’t count, and “they happen because people are bad at cooperating” is too vague. I’m looking for something more like “these problems happen because people get angry”, or “because people get deceived by politicians”. Does that make sense? Can you give it a try?
