It must be interesting to see how economic & governance theory plays out in real time on the internet with platforms like Hive and Eos

I don't think there is one best way to run a community, each one has its own eccentricities and variables.

I always thought it would be cool to try and make a purposefully unequal and despotic community and see if it works itself out, who knows it could turn out better than the one with high ideals?

I think human instincts are extremely important to consider when 'planning a society', these are instincts that go back centuries and are still present for good reason but are often forgotten when being overly optimistic about human behaviour, which can often be irrational.
