gollark: Well, sure.
gollark: The problems I think are problematic are mostly stuff like "intellectual property is somewhat weird and broken", "pricing of some goods (housing, mostly) is weird too", "education frequently doesn't work as well as it should", "there are big technology/surveillance monopolies which are not good", and "government decision-making is pretty poor".

gollark: Well, they have short descriptions of many of the ideas on the website.
gollark: I have not actually read any of it. I just said it seemed interesting as an idea.
