As far as exploring goes, good exploring is about describing how alternatives could work.
I agree with you. [...] What would be the point of an exploration if we remain stuck in the old paradigms.
No, I don’t think you understand me. I’m not the person to advocate staying in old paradigms. It’s just that being a heretic is hard work.
The argument that you are making isn’t a new paradigm it’s not much different from what Marx said 150 years ago. It’s old. A new argument about that we have measurement about rich people having less empathy but otherwise it’s all old and boring.
I agree. I’m only at the beginning. One of the reasons I started to lurk around here is a need for clarity in my own thinking. I often am vague and expose half baked ideas. I hope that this will change in time.

You need more than clarity in your own thinking. You also need to understand the positions of others.
I know how a German political party works from the inside. I have to extrapolate from that if I’m talking about US politics but I don’t just say that something is bad because I don’t understand what it’s good for.

As far as what I wrote lately about my political philosophy the posts I wrote in http://lesswrong.com/r/discussion/lw/jmt/some_tools_for_optimizing_our_media_use/ might be interesting for you.
