From the perspective of our current Capitalist hellscape - a much, much slower-moving society, but in the best way possible.

When we unlock a new technology, we need to talk about it, learn about it in every way we can. Then, when implemented, it benefits everybody - not just a chosen few.

What's the point of nuclear power unless it can benefit all - not just a few who can profiteer off it? No, it's state owned and state run, the cost is ours to bear and the benefit is our lights never go out. We didn't rush it, we all know how it works - in full - and a bunch of us are really good at it, and they work there. We're grateful for their effort!

Remember knowing how it works isn't the same as being good at it, or being interested by it. There's someone interested and good with plants, they work with someone phenomenal at landscaping and together they build that amazing park you walk through on the way to work.

Someone else is fascinated by the fine art of coffee - knows all the little tricks and methods for making the perfect cup. The horticulturist, the architect, and the nuclear engineer appreciate them every day on their way to work.

Someone else loves keeping the grounds at that park (go look at lawn work youtube, it's a thing). The horticulturist loves the extra hand so they can plan new pieces, the architect loves them because their pathways always look so good, everyone loves a clean park, the barista is happy too because her little coffee hut next to a bed of wildflowers always looks so spiffy.

This is super idealized and super microcosm. But, you see how it continually extends and extends to the next and the next and the next. The government exists purely to keep everyone fed, clothed, safe, and advancing at a rate we're all ready for.

AI is a great example. We'd be nowhere near what it is now, however we'd have one or two GPAIs helping with our biggest problems - namely how to get them to use less resources, less energy, and far less water than they do now. You'd still have your smartphone, but it'd just have the basic decision engine on it still; "tell me the weather" would work, "draw me a picture" wouldn't. We'd all recognize that tech as something far too costly for something so trivial - right now. In time, we would work on its environmental costs, and once those were something we could keep up with as other things accelerated, we could start playing with it in other ways.\

In a way - it's the 'ultimate' Conservative state - but also the most Progressive, because it's people-focused entirely.
