Trust me, out here in 7th fleet we run near China and piss in their corn flakes with a 4.5 billion dollar carrier on a regular basis. They do the exact same thing to us. The difference is, China is the only country that is actively engaged in a campaign of cyber warfare and theft against us.
[QUOTE=Mingebox;40891181]Pyramids of Giza? You mean that thing built by slaves as burial chambers for God-Kings?[/QUOTE]
The pyramids at Giza have no burial chambers. Most archaeologists now believe that they were built by free labor who camped there. It believed they were paid a salary or it was a from of tax payment.
Maybe you should research something before you accept things as fact.

[QUOTE=benwaddi;40893416]This awfully relies upon everyone losing individual free will and mindlessly working towards some "greater goal"[/QUOTE]
You don't have free will right now. So saying something wouldn't work simply because we are giving up "free will" is kind of stupid.

Well they were built by slaves when I was in school. But they certainly have burial chambers though, and were at least built for that purpose like most pyramids. Regardless I'm pretty sure decades of dangerous, back-breaking to build somewhere for the ruling class to stuff their corpses and earthly possessions isn't really an inspiring image for owning ones labor.
Maybe free will isn't the best phrase to use, I meant the ability to make choices dictated by law rather than dictated by the whims of a populace.
How will you combat the other points I brought up such as a more popular person gaining more support and hindering better ideas in favor of his own?

Whatever man. I don't really care to be honest. I said that any ancient structure/ruin inspires me. It's almost as if you didn't read my post at all and just decided to try and say something clever at my expense. As for burial chambers it's really up for debate seeing as the pyramids chambers don't seem to be designed to be used for burial purposes.

That shit makes no sense. Your "choices" are at this very moment dictated by law and social stigma or "whims of a populace". The government is just a collection of people making decisions to create laws. If you break these laws the government sanctioned "gang" will come and take you away. The clothes you wear and how you act is dictated by society. If you break the social stigma people will look at you differently or might even approach you with violence to get you back in line. You have no free will.
As for how to "prevent" somebody from hindering the flow of progress. In an ideal society such a person would be laughed at because people could see that he is just trying to screw them. If his ideas are inferior, why would anyone listen to him. You can see this already and I don't know why I would need to explain it to you.
