Imagine you have to design a society, but you don’t know who you’ll be in it. You could be rich or poor, strong or weak, privileged or marginalized.
Now decide the rules.
What kind of system would you create, knowing you might end up at the very bottom?
>>
>>25170481
Mixed-economy with progressive tax-rate, Universal Basic Income, free healthcare and a strong social safety-net
>>
>>25170713
Also, no immigration from developing countries at all. Free movement with developed countries
>>
>>25170481
Mixed leaning towards capitalist economy, low taxes, selective workfare/welfare programs, free health care, no division between church and state, pragmatic trade policy (depends on the global market conditions), zero immigration.

Pirate Kingdom self-monitored by people's positive vrill. Naturally insular and gatekept.

Historical Japan.

The nobility had Harems. The average person was married. The bottom ones visited brothels.

Their noble women were taught martial arts. The average girls had a higher literacy than Europe at that time.

Corporal punishment in schools was scarce. Most schools were private run or owned yet they had one of the earliest high literacy rates.

It was a high IQ, low crime and high Trust society.

It was sexually open (like Shibari comes from Japan and it had porn like the fisherman's wife).

100% male society. No women. Everyone is conceived using artificial wombs. Tasteful homoeroticism. Mix of Ancient Greek and Nazi aesthetics. Great classical megastructures. Heroic nudity. Athleticism. Wrestling. Javelin throwing. Poetry. Art. Sunlight. Water. And then expeditions into the unknown. Great regions of volcanic ash and danger. Storms. Tigers. Rocks which cut into the shapely bare feet of our warriors. Men dying in each other’s arms. Tears. Kisses. Epitaphs. Great battlefields of such a scale like some kind of ancient Hindu epic - millions of men arranged in troop and colour under a sinister marble sky. Rain pelting their faces. Wet sloshy earth underfoot. Order, discipline, ecstasy.

I find the question "what society would you create?" tedious, incredibly boring. That being said, if I had to give myself to the task of creating a socio-economic system, I would do exactly the same were the cheeky hypothetical of "you don't know who you will be in it!" there or not. ATP that would be a Singapore clone, and we have the knowledge of exactly how to create such a thing. But ultimately a society should be founded on last causes, highest ideals. Truth, Beauty, Justice.
Ah, that was a good rambling

>>25170481
ethnonationalist semi-absolute monarchy
and also, I'd remove most regulations/rules, and put in a few to decentralise and make chaos. Ted the bomber thinks you have to destroy industrial society to make life meaningful again, I think you merely have to make it objectively poorer in some ways to give each man hugely more freedom within the system
also, legalise drunk driving and end all public schools (without a replacement, if you don't want to send your kid to private school I'm sure he can get a great job as a carpenter's apprentice or something)

Modular society based on a community with the smallest structure being a neighborhood. Neighborhoods decide laws, spending, punishment. After a neighborhood, you have a precinct which is composed of many neighborhoods. These groups are tasked with larger projects that a neighborhood might not be able to handle such as transportation of roads, or community planning. After that we have city quadrants, cities, counties. Each progressive step has larger responsibilities that do not interfere with the roles of smaller communities. Politicians are representatives of each neighborhood who then elect amongst themselves to higher offices. There will be a strict honor based culture and all punishment will be exacted by the communities of the victim and offender. Strict codes of conduct will be taught in school and family honor will be quantified and tracked. High standards of academic attainment and community service will be drilled into the youth.

Ancap/minarchist except ethnonationalist and probably "patriarchal" as well.
Anyway the veil of ignorance is just there to scare people with high risk aversion and high time preference. It's a one off thing when the magical switch to the new society happens. In the long run people will rearrange according to their capabilities. After a couple of generations if even that long the initial "random" distribution wouldn't have much effect anymore provided there is a minimum of possible mobility (that is unless you explicitly make things static as part of your magically enforced ideal society) so it's largely irrelevant to the scenario.

Why is it tedious?

Anyway, seconding this guy, I would build a Singapore clone, but with more emphasis on quality of life than in capitalist grinding. Curtis Yarvin, before he lost his marbles, used to say that a good regime is supposed to be investing on the well being of their people, that's what I would aim for.

100% young female society. No men. Everyone is conceived via cloning. Tasteful sapphicism. Taishō-era Japanese aesthetics. Lots of cute cafés. Venusian nudity. Refinement. Floristry. Embroidery. Poetry. Art. Sweets. Tea. And then trips to the mall. Great selection of clothes and snacks. Sales. Samplings. Sandles which hug the shapely feet of our muses. Girls giggling in each other's arms. Tears. Kisses. Gossip. Salon dates of such a style like some kind of yuri manga—unnumbered nymphettes getting their nails done with matching colors as their bestie while under swell hair steamers. Avocado masks on their faces. Pumice scrubbings underfoot. Frivolity, idleness, fun!

A society that maximizes the production of saints.
Saints are universally desirable (as opposed to anti-saints/"niggers"). So you'd want a regenerative society of saints that produces more and more saints of quality & quantity ad infinitum.
A hagiocracy.

the greatest saint can only come from the greatest sinners
