gollark: I mean, outside of toy models or whatever.

gollark: Maybe you could make a good scifi thing a hundred years in the future or something about faster computers/better optimization algorithms/distributed system designs/something making central planning more tractable. Although in the future supply chains will probably be even more complex. But right now, it is NOT practical.

gollark: In any case, if you have a planned system and some new need comes up... what do you do, spend weeks updating the models and rerunning them? That is not really quick enough.

gollark: If you want to factor in each individual location's needs in some giant model, you'll run into issues like:- people lying- it would be horrifically complex

gollark: Information flow: imagine some farmer, due to some detail of their climate/environment, needs extra wood or something. But the central planning models just say "each farmer needs 100 units of wood for farming 10 units of pig"; what are they meant to do?
