Thinkers only, please.

The goal is total freedom. I'm not asking if that is a realistic goal or not.

Monarchy, oligarchy, "democracy" and the like have shortcomings. Ideologies like communism have to be enforced upon people and thus are inequal from the outset. The free market is consensual but isn't alway efficient.

Note, something like "___ isn't perfect, but is the best thing we have" isn't an acceptable answer. This is a theoretical question, not an evaluation of current systems. Please try to think outside the box for arguments sake.

Answers should exclude any system of goverment and ideology already tried in human history, up to an including now.

Answers should also exclude religion and concern themselves with interactions between humans on earth, not in whatever afterlife you may choose to believe exists. Let deities make and enforce their own laws, regardless of whether you are a theist or atheist.

The Q above is the headline Q. Here is the Q I wanted to pose but couldn't in the Q-box : Why Is or isn't the *totally mental* private self-experience of your acts of thinking about your body's sensory experiences not on par (in quality and realness) with the latter?

In the sixth grade, my teacher read us a novel about a teenage girl whose father works for the government and they, along with her brother, are saved when the most of the rest of civilization is wiped out by some sort of carbon-destroying weapon. The first half of the novel deals with the disaster and its aftermath, the second takes place a couple of generations later during the rebuilding of society. I can't remember the title or author for the life of me, and I'm hoping it hasn't gone out of print (I'm a sophomore in college now). Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

He goes to see it when he is pretending to be Dicky Greenleaf, with a woman named Meredith. Just before intermission, one male character shoots another male character. It resembles Tom's murder of Dicky character in the movie and it appears to hit home with Tom.

I have read a few things on the internet saying that maybe Dumbledore didn't really die. That he faked his death. Most people under the killing curse don't die the way he did. They just kind of fall. Dumbledore didn't. And Sirius, will he come back? Or will he somehow communicate with Harry from the dead? I think at least one of them will make an appearance in the last book. Your thoughts?

I'm trying to come up with a list of books that other people think everyone MUST read before they die, you know one of those essential books.

It could be either fiction (like The Life of Pi, or Alice's Adventures in Wonderland) or non-fiction (like A Brief History of Time or The Origin of Species). BUT I am not considering any holy texts like the Bible or the Koran (I know that any Christian will tell me that one HAS to read the Bible, same with any Muslim and the Koran). I've read the Bible by the way, the Devil did it.

So, name a book that in your opinion everyone should read before they die (the author would be good too).

Thanks!
