Nation of cowards

Depends on your definitions of optimal and progress.

Many people, yourself apparently as well, believe adding more authoritarian layers is itself the embodiment of pogress, and it's optimal for them and the personal power it gives them.

I'm saying that 2 heads are better than one. 3 heads are better than 2. 4 heads are better than 3.......

Lets have a science project. One kid works on it by himself and 10 together(all in the same grade)? More than likely, who will have more progress?

It depends on how smart they all are.

More isn't always better. Mediocrity shouldn't be a goal.

True but lets say all 11 are grade 5 students. And the kids were chosen randomly.Not according to their intelligence.

Like I said more than likely? The 10 students will outperform the one.

Even in the case of scientists?

Lets say you have a bright scientist. Up against 10 very good scientists.

Sure there is a chance that the one might make a break through and temporarily advance. But if 1 of the ten make a breakthrough? They will leave the 1 in the dust.....

But central planning eliminates the contributions of others.

Not at all. It gathers ALL the data together and then they process the information to recieve optimal results.

Individual planning eliminates outside contributions. If it didn't it would no longer be considered individual planning.

Individuals share their plans and modify them. Central planners are stuck on totalitarian, and mostly obsessed with power. We saw the glorious information sharing of central planning in the climate scientists in england trying to shut out debate and marginalize anyone who disagreed with them.

Is this the kind of benefit you would like to see magnified with more centralization?

If they are sharing information, their thoughts are no longer individual. They are using contributions from others. If there was a central place where information was shared by all, this would be optimal. This is central planning.

Central planning(which means all information collected in one source) is optimal for results. As long as the central planners do not hoard the information.

Central planning is the reason we have libraries. Central planning is the reason we have the internet. All information gathered and put together.

I've already discussed the CRU. They were a very optimal organization until this happened. So was it central planning that failed, or a few corrupt individuals that were probably paid off by big business?

of course they are.

maybe. But in reality centralization functions to magnify the power of a few, allowing them to shut out the contributions of those which they perceive as harmful to their power.

Given human reality, it's not optimal.

Collecting information is not planning.
 
of course they are.

What is more optimal?Having a few individuals sharing information or all of them?

Yes power corrupts and corrupted men do not easily relenquish their power. Power is addictive and an aphrodisiac.

Though this is human nature. There must be a reason for this. To maintain order. This is the main beginnings of what you call civilized society.

When the few overstep their boundries? They are easily removed from power by the masses.

Information is almost always shared. If you consider what the Pope's did, central planning? Then that is wrong. They kept information(which is the Bible)away from people so they can manipulate the information to their liking.

This kind of central planning is wrong because it keeps the majority of its people in the dark. Central planning must properly distribute the results to the masses and also reveal its sources. That is not to say that these results cannot be manipulated as we have seen in the past. Though this is the optimal route.



Collecting information is not planning.

Collecting information and using it to optamize results is central planning.

I must go now.

What is the value of "order". Weak minds prefer the certainty of totalitarianism over the chaos of actual freedom.

Not necessarily. And it's becoming harder when elections are bought with fiat currency from bankers who make it at will.

the psychosis of central planning zealotry always justifies this deception. I cite your lying scientists in england.

But when central planning fails to deliver those results, it must be abandoned.
