This is really an interesting problem and I have been thinking about it for
years. I haven't found anyone willing to discuss it calmly because most
people become hysterical at the very thought. Here is a very short outline
of my present thinking:
The problem is how to construct a global political "system" that can remain
virtuous to its stated goals?
My first cut at the problem is to separate what might work from what would
be politically acceptable to Joe Sixpack. In other words, I assume there
would be "internal" politics and an "external" politics. (We probably have
this kind of system now with Ivy League elites pulling the levers in the
back room.)
My next cut is to divide the new "internal" system into two more parts:
"administration" and "policy making".
Policy-making would be done by an elite group of scientists and religious
and cultural leaders. Administration would be done by computers.
Obviously, working all this stuff out would take an enormous amount of
effort. I haven't taken the time because I haven't seen any willingness to
junk the present system.
