Imperfect political and economic systems like our current version of capitalism and democracy. (Both could be better, or even replaced by something different which is better.)

Violence.

Judging without critical and unbiased thinking.

I'm curious how you propose we achieve a perfect political system without building on a series of imperfect ones?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

In practise, we probably don't. But maybe we could speed up a lot of progress if we could remove some obstacles and think about it really carefully.

Thats impossoble because a perfect systen depends on one's morals which differ from person to person. Whats a perfect system to you may be a bad system to me.

A perfect system would be able to deal with this. Of course, that's a purely ideological goal which probably wouldn't be reached in practise. But I think we could gain a lot on the road there.
