Delusions of Godhood

What should be the qualities of water?

How should DNA be built?

How should snowflakes be designed?

Who should be in charge of flocks of birds or schools of fish?

How should ecosystems be run?

How should the market be controlled?

How should society be run?

All the above is meaningless drivel.

Yet, a majority of people seriously consider the last two and debate them. Society and the market are emergent systems. They can’t be “run”, designed, or controlled, and trying to do so harms individuals, which damages the health of society and destroys the market.

Only the pathologically evil would keep trying.
