Well, it may be so. It is however worth dreaming about and striving for.
In this blog, I want to comment on world affairs, political developments, sports etc. and then dream about and strive for their "optimal" state.
Optimality is just a perception. One's objective function determines what is optimal and what is not and how he/she perceives how close/far the current world is to/from the optimal state. What is optimal for you might not be for me. But, if the entire world strives for (within the legal/social boundaries) what each individual believes is the optimal world, we will be living in a far better world than we are right now.
Yes, there will be argument. There will be disagreement. There will be tension. There will be drama. There will be everything else except inaction. And I think the optimal state of this world is where there is no inaction - where every individual has an opinion and every opinion is voiced, every voice is heard, every argument reasoned and every reasoning explained. Every problem in the perfect world is put through the above cycle, a solution is found, and is communicated and finally acted upon.
It is important, however, not to confuse "Optimal" with the "Perfect". A perfect world, while optimal for some, is not so for me. I don't want to venture into defining the "perfect" because I feel it is not an "optimal" use of my time. I will leave that job for others... I will just define what I believe is the optimal state of the world. I understand that not everyone agrees with my definition of the optimal. So, let the arguments start!!
