Ideal central planning
Question from the Internet:
“Can an ethical case be made for central planning, or is it inherently contradictory?”
It is not ethical, instead, it is logical. If there is no planning or leadership, then there is chaos.
Even in our biological body, there is a “central” planning and command center that constantly analyzes the situation and chooses the best course of action to maintain the most optimal state and development of the whole body.
The cells and organs do not decide by themselves what they do. When they act as that illness and cancer develop.
On the other hand, we can see that how things are and have been planned and led so far has been destructive and futile.
So what is the right “central leadership and planning” then?
We need to understand and accept, that we exist in a fully integrated and fully interdependent living system. In such a system individual leadership, or leadership by a small minority that follows their own, inherently self-serving, self-justifying, and exploitative agenda leads only to destruction and to the observed recurring, vicious cycles.
Thus when we are talking about “central planning” or leadership, it has to be a totally selfless, unconditionally serving, and mutually complementing cooperation of people, who are educated and prepared for such planning and leadership.
And these people cannot follow and propagate some form of arbitrary and baseless ideology, philosophy, or religion that we are used to. These unique leaders and planners have to be knowledgeable about the strict and unchanging laws of the natural system we exist in, and about the unchanging and deterministic direction of nature’s evolution.
Optimal central planning and leadership have to guide humanity along and in accordance with these laws of nature and the relentless direction of evolution to facilitate our conscious and purposeful development toward our predetermined, evolutionary Human role in the system.
In this case, “central planning” is fulfilling its crucial role.
