Ok, I'll bite. What's the quick summary of your idea? Of course I'm skeptical, I think there must be at least one major issue keeping it from having happened already, but also curious.

Uh, I mean I could probably write a 30 or 40 page manifesto explaining it, but what it boils down to is the main bottleneck in human society is resource management combined with a lack of vision and purpose.

Anything above the level of the family has resources, needs, and uses that are being managed by people that are ultimately too selfish, too greedy, and not interconnected enough to work together.

Sure, but what do you propose to manage said resources?

So far planned economies haven't gone well in practice.
(Not that the unplanned type is great either)

That REAL Pi actually ends at 7 digits. Discovered by a greengrocer named Dennis. There's been an easy say to calculate it since 1800s using an abacus. Edit: thought the /s was implied with, you know, "Dennis." I knew I should have gone with "Humperdink."

What makes it "real"? Pi is an irrational number, by definition it doesn't end

Like I said, it would take a manifesto to explain it.
