It’s at least possible that with the help of AI I’ve figured out a thought experiment that I’ve been thinking about since I got back from South Korea the last time. I call it the Impossible Scenario because it requires so many considerations.
But, in general, the Impossible Scenario deals with a Galactic Empire giving humanity a “homeland” of three habitable planets. But humans have to unite and bootstrap once they get zapped there. You take a pill, your mind and DNA are recorded and you end up in a pod on one of the planets.
The solution is this: you use 100 million Americans as the “first wave” of each planet. The planet is first built out by a series of “consortiums” that require most people to live as indentured servants for about seven years once they arrive on one of the planets.
There’s a lot more to it than that, but that’s the general gist.
