In a perfect world everything would be different… That’s what the Dodge commercial just said… and it got me thinking. I really enjoyed the things that we thought about back in Introduction To Political Philosophy. But almost all of the thoughts that we got onto… and ideas that we explored for ways to engineer the perfect society strived for freedom, opportunity, and equality… but what if difference is the key concept around which a closer to perfect society can be formed?

Somehow you have to find ways to allow independent social systems to exist…. Coordinate the interaction between them, but allow each to exist in it’s own system of rules… You couldn’t allow anarchy to reign because it would be necessary to maintain rules between the systems and that wouldn’t be able to exist with a system with no rules…

Maybe people would be allowed to choose where they wanted to live based on the rules within that social system… so say people are born and raised within their parents social system… but through education and the ever-shrinking world brought on by the advent of technology and the internet… people learn of what possibilities exist in the world… and there is a period of time, perhaps from 15 to 30, where you are allowed to move in and out of these social systems… exploring for yourself where you may feel most appropriate… or even to choose to live by a set of neutral laws within a sort of UN social system until you can decide… sort of like going to college without declaring a major… eventually you have to choose, but you have some time. And by 30 you have to make a decision or return to your home system…

It sounds really interesting and plausible to me except that the obvious way to separate the systems would be geographically… but then the systems would have a major imbalance of resources, benefits, and limitations… so that could cause a major issue in any practical implementation… But I like the thought…
