Summary:
Agree that the concept "Rights" is flawed and requires hacks and
exceptions to ensure consistency. Social Meta-Needs seem like a
reasonable attempt at replacing "Rights".
In firm agreement with 80% of the content, but need more clarification
about the concepts of harm, social preferencing, self-defense, and life
time happiness. Clarification is required since some of these concepts
did not appear to account for human contingency, and while the goal is
of course to maximize Lifetime Happiness for all humans it must also be
clarified that human never possess enough information to develop the
"most" optimal solution. On the other hand, individuals can develop
optimized solutions based on past experience coupled with assumptions
about repeatability. The point is simply that any system designed to
optimize the value gained during the course of human life and human
"InterAction"[1] must not require that humans possess the attributes of
omniscience, omnipresence, omnipotence, eternal life, shape shifting,
infinite wisdom, etc.
More to come...
