Which is the better choice? 🤔 You can only choose one.

Interesting! I would say that the world is trying to do something like the 4th option but I would like it to be the 1st option because I wouldn't do something just for my own gain but rather in my vision there is much more balance. I don't think we can leave complete freedom because it would be more bad than good because many would take advantage of it.

it sounds a bit like "my vision is better than all" but I don't mean that, I just could never accept everything I think to the contrary also because I'm already experiencing a lot of it now.

While I am tempted to pick option one, I will pick option four.

Of course I think option one will work, and I am sure everyone else thinks option one will work even when we all have a different view on how the world should work. Forcing people is what causes things like rebellions so sadly despite how well I think my world view would work, not everyone will agree with me. Even if things are proven to work, people are going to reject it due to personal preference.

Because of this that's why I pick option four, I think realistically it's the one most likely to work. I don't believe in everyone ever agreeing to accept the same ideology, like I said before even if someone works, people will reject it out of personal preference, and I believe the most fair thing is to make everyone have to both accept things they agree and disagree with. Of course there will be people out there demanding their way, but if they can live with some of their way enforced, they won't react as dramatically as if the other options were enforced.

I think option two wouldn't work for the same reasons as option one. It's just the opposite side of the spectrum, people who think like me would rebel and try to overturn the rules and laws they disagree with.

As for option three, I don't believe in anarchy ever working. I view it as a race on whoever can achieve power first and create control and order. People are naturally egotistical and greedy, or I think so at least, so there will be constant fighting whoever who should do what and what should happen, and that's when someone comes in to create order. Life is chaotic and people need some sort of structure to survive and advance.

Option one is definitely tempting, which is why I included option two to put into perspective if the roles we reversed and we were forced to align with our opposition's perception of freedom, which may totally go against our own, it would likely end up very bad.

Each option, everyone loses to some extent, which I feel like is the reality we're facing. I couldn't really think of a 5th option, except maybe we divided ourselves further into factions and each faction had their own ideology, which would end up putting us in situations like the Divergent series, where such narrowed perception was our downfall, when embracing many perceptions is our strength.

To an extent that's already how our world system is in a way, with each nation having their own enforced set of rules and regulations, but I think our current system is also a mixture of option #1 and #2 as well, where opposing ideologies are constantly competing for power, never contented, rarely compromising.

Complete anarchy would allow those who do the most evil of deeds to get away with it. Maybe justice would be served in some form, but I doubt it would be civilized. Witch hunts would probably be really common, people doing terrible things to others based on misunderstandings, miscommunications, and nothing could really prevent a mob mentality. As nice as it would be to have total freedom without limits in the best of ways, I just can't sit with the thought of evil being enabled to do the most atrocious things while innocent people who just want to live their lives in peace will be left to suffer against the most extreme of extremes. Everyone would have to learn how to defend themselves, their possessions and land claims, always sleep with one eye open. I don't think I'd want to live like that.

I'm with option 4 as well. Though part of me is fearful what some of the compromises would be, it definitely seems like the most realistic solution that can make everyone happy and contented to an extent. It's probably the closest to a peaceful society as we're going to get.
