[Help, settlers won't talk to each other]

I'm Having the same issue. Still have not figured it out yet either :(

[what kind of government is better?]

This video of a college lecture gives great details on how a government might fail.

[what kind of government is better?]

 

Meritocracy? Like the meritocracy involved in military and other fedgov equipment design and procurement? The sort of 'critical mindedness' that both decries climate change skeptics while stating that storms, floods, heat waves, sea level rise, etc. are increasing to the point of disaster, while both NOAA and the IPCCC both have statements out saying there is no evidence of a connection? The fact that one of the major drivers of Covid vaccine 'misinformation' was the inability/unwillingness of the gov. and vax manufacturers to publicly post ALL information in a near real-time mode, b/c some of the information might be unfavorable?

 

Nope, no one can define 'merit' in a political sense, any more than any government can define 'misinformation' or conduct a complete cost/benefit analysis.

 

You can't have a genuine meritocracy without equality of opportunity, a child from a stable wealthy family who attends a good school should do well, now take that same child and place him in a impoverished broken home and a bad school, it's very unlikely he'll do as well no matter how hard he tries.

 

The point of meritocracy is to make sure that those who seek office have the basic knowledge of how to do their job. It has nothing to do with the education system or wealth. Keeping idiots out of office would prevent political puppetry.

Do you even know what meritocracy means?

None of the above are best. Implement some sort of meritocracy where officials must be federally tested and thus proven suitable for candidacy would be a start in the right direction.
