eCon 404 —
dCon Doesn't Promise Utopia

Utopia doesn’t exist.  All evil, all poverty, all dysfunction aren’t going away.  Get over it.

​

dCon leads to social-economic systems that allow people to help themselves, leading to more success and happiness for them, with greater productivity and less spending for us.

​

Those that can’t help themselves or who need assistance are naturally narrowed to a smaller number, now ensconced in a society that is more prosperous and healthier.  Empowering them or their caretakers with purchasing power – a form of property right – plus supportive services is a less expensive delivery system that also yields better care.

​

Still, utopia won’t be achieved.  Why?  Because malfeasance and societal torpidity still exist, albeit at reduced levels given dCon’s natural resistance to such dysfunction.

​

Thus poor people will still be with us, albeit fewer.  Disappointments will occur, especially early.  Over time, the dCon Virtuous Cycle will take hold, with results continually improving.

​

Things will never be perfect.  Utopia will never be reached.  Opponents of the bourgeoisie will have many more people to target, just one of many objections the Left will make.

​

cCon proponents on the Left are bipolar: Utopian & Fatalistic.  We’d have utopia if we could just convict all the economic criminals, some Lefties think.  We’re doomed, think others.  Some think both.

​

dCon avoids extremes. Its natural moderating tendencies keep it in the middle of the road.  How? Broadly distributed self-interest stimulates self-control at all levels of society.

​

Human weakness, acts of God, freak accidents and outright evil will never go away.  But dCon deals with them better than cCon eight days a week, even if utopia never arrives.
