I counted maybe three or four social constructs within and including the constitution.
Not sure of all the constructs in the economic system, (if any) of EOS.
Social constructs within the tangible or non-tangible capital formation mechanisms would need to be analyzed.
My shot in the dark estimate is there is probably seven to eight social constructs built in to the system at the moment.
Several areas of possible faction formations to arise.
Will be interesting to see how it goes, best wishes.
Agreed. What are social constructs though? And what examples are you finding? Social constructs vs what? Natural constructs?
Constructs where a group has to decide what something is 'supposed' to do.
These run into problems of social objectivity.
(If it has t!ts, tires, or social constructs, it's going to give you trouble ;)
Ahh, you're talking about ethics!
Ethics vs morality is one of my favorites! I agree that ethics are a slippery slope, but with careful attention, they can definitely be in line with objective morality.
I guess that reveals the main question. Is it good, or even ethical, for a social construct to govern?
I'm not gonna say it's a good thing.
But I'm definitely gonna say it's not necessarily a bad thing. I've been listening a lot to Jeff Deist's podcast, Mises Weekends. He's the president of the Mises Institute. He talks a lot about decentralized government like the Swiss model due to the fact that different people/cultures shouldn't be governing each other. If someone in "power" doesn't know what's good for you, that implies a different social need, does it not? In a voluntary system of governance, theres definitely room for different folks (individual or collective) to have varrying systems of governance. So as long as the social constructs are not immoral, I'd say there's some wiggle room in ethical allowances.
Excellent information.
---If someone in "power" doesn't know what's good for you, that implies a different social need, does it not?---
Should anyone be governing you?
Who is the only one that knows what's good for you? To invest authority outside of individual sovereignty becomes less voluntary by the very action, does it not? When a system is designed to produce less voluntary options than more voluntary options, wouldn't that be a design flaw? (this is the problem I am seeing in collectivist governing models)
So what I have been doing is looking at models and figuring out about how many social constructs there are, and assuming for each one there is a degree of voluntary options that are eliminated(per individual). The more social constructs, the fewer degrees of freedom, basically is what I am seeing.
That sounds like a really good approach!
What constructs did you notice in the EOS constitution?
