My political ideology differs from that of Kaltovar and historical Cyberneticism in some important ways, mainly mine is a lot less authoritarian (because although I trust myself with absolute power, I don't trust other people with it.)
I would like society to be run by a hybrid of a democratically elected government (elected by Ranked Choice Voting), scientists, and intelligent machines. I would like for there to be a Universal Basic Income, and I would like for as much of the business of production and labour to be done by robots and intelligent machines as is possible.
I think we should strive to eliminate the slave class (the workers), in the sense that we should free them from their work by having machines do it. People should exist to experience joy and make new and interesting experiences for other people.
I want to integrate the more complex and banal parts of our government directly into computers, like the interest rate and subsidies given to different companies for example. Anything that would be best operated by a self teaching neural network SHOULD be.
I would also like to have a strong military so that this can't be destroyed by outside forces.
I believe in the importance of a country holding it's own PRODUCTION POWER, which is more important (in economic terms) than anything except perhaps access to raw resources. A country that can not produce goods can not ensure it's independence, and to this end robotic production will be very important.
Finally, I think going into space and exploiting it's resources is physically necessary for the survival of our species (along with reducing our population dramatically in the short term).
Underrated post tbh.
