as someone with autism do NOT let us control everything. You'd get 27,000 cats and a ton of trains without any issues being solved.

I think a ton of trains would actually solve a lot of issues

yeah maybe we should let them cook for a bit

My go to example for "we should have let them cook" is https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OGAS

The US government in 1962 regarded the project as a major threat due to the “tremendous increments in economic productivity” which could disrupt the world market. Arthur Schlesinger Jr, historian and special assistant to President Kennedy, described “an all out Soviet commitment to cybernetics” as providing the Soviet Union a “tremendous advantage” in respect to production technology, complex of industries, feedback control and self-teaching computers.

Ironically may result in the resurgence of the bee population due to cats murdering the bird population

A government of autists would come up with optimized solutions to many problems. The issue is that most people are resistant to actually fixing things, so everyone would just get mad.

[-] pupbiru@aussie.zone 12 points 2 months ago

optimised solutions often create negative secondary effects in other systems - it’s not (always) that people are resistant to fixing things, it’s that when people get attached to an “optimised solution” and it comes into contact with the real world, it’s often difficult for them to take valid criticisms that aren’t about the system

[-] PriorityMotif@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

It's almost always for a selfish reason though. For instance, health insurance in the U.S. could easily go away if the government combined all of the funding for public healthcare systems. It won't happen because of the for profit healthcare industry.

Do not betray your own tribe brother. After all, why shouldn't we get 27000 cats?
