Solving a complex social problem with a single idea from a single person's head is impossible.
That's because ideas are 4 dimensional. They appear differently to each person that apprehends them, because each person has their own personal formative history of intellectual function, and each will comprehend an idea in their own way, and then act on that idea in their own way as well.
And this comprehension and action changes over time. The means of comprehending, and the means of acting changes as previous actions and comprehensions change the social and intellectual landscape.
This is why politics is so difficult. I mean, everyone hates on politicians. But it is really, really difficult implementing mass action. Its why politicians have to wear so many faces at once.
It hurts my head just thinking about it. Goddamn. I think of Captain Beefheart saying wryly in one of his songs, "Someone has had too much to think." One of my favorite lines of his.
Now, there are people that will screw you over. But it is problems like these when you really have to open up to people and trust them. You have to relinquish control. You have to say, this is what I think we should do, but it is only a fraction of reality, so please handle the rest.
Trying to make everything conform to the ideas in your own head is impossible. To attempt to do so is the essence of totalitarianism.
