I havent read the whole thread, but from the little I have heard about RBE / Venus Project, they think someone/something can make the "best" economic decisions in an "objetive" manner, so peoples decisions are not needed.

First off, there is no absolute objetivity whatsoever. That is a naive simplification. In fact, if you believe in science, you must necessarily come to the conclusion that objective reality is an ilusion. Ask any quantum physicyst, or good biologist, and he will tell you that there is no such thing as absolute objectivity. Science disproves objective reality. Its that simple.

Venus project lives in an oxymoron. Seems this guys are operating from a mindset 150 year old.

I recommend reading the book "Tree of knowledge" from Humberto Maturana to awake to this fundamental issue.
