Human Level Centralized (Globalization)
This concept is for a society centralized and coordinated for all humans (regardless of nationality, race, gender, or age). In this construct, the needs of the individual people and the productive efforts of society would be matched at the highest level. This theoretically might allow for the highest efficiency, since the need could be calculated, contingencies added, and then production could be planned and allocated to best match capabilities and desires.
In this system, the premise that all people provide tangible value to the system in order to receive value back from the system most likely would be removed. While each person would likely still need to provide intangible (or less tangible) value to the system, removing the premise of having to providing tangible value to the system would enable people to have a clearer and more stable expectation that the system would provide for them.
Empowering the (massive) group comes with a tradeoff of weakening the individual. Under this system, people would largely be at the whim of the system, and if the system became corrupted such that it was harming them, people would have little ability to do anything about it. Further, a strong group at the human level necessitates a high level of homogeneity. While the system is working that may be fine, but should the system fail, the failure would be correspondingly felt as broadly.
Advantages
- Possible high efficiency.
- Possible low conflict (in that the centralized power could theoretically prevent large scale conflict or war).
_
Disadvantages
- Lack or inability of individuals to have a voice and modify the system to be workable for them.
- Possibility for corruption.
- High homogeneity, low diversity, and therefore low resilience. If the centralized system should ever falter, the majority of humanity would falter with it.
