Topic Tag: automation

About ten years ago I read a book called Walden 2... It was about a 1950's world where mechanical engineers started a private commune movement where they automated all of the menial human labor needed to keep each community functioning while social engineers selected for environmental variables to maximize happiness and minimize conflicts... Some of the social ideas were a bit silly but the automation idea was always a great inspiration, now that we have computers it would seem like a much more plausible endeavor (its always sorta dependent on what kind of people make the attempt)... Imagine we had something called okcommune (sorta like okcupid) where there are matching percentages for what people care about ...  Its the only real way to have genuine knowledge across millions of strangers (unless you're some timeless plural deity like Dave but that's not fair lol)  Curious how many people you intend to have in the project?
