Programmers to change the world?

We automate decision making. I think we should be the ones to develop new methods of analysis.

Most of us work doing software that, in the long run, privileges getting the most of the money (and resources)from the surrounding environment.

What if one of us develop an ERP that accounts for enviromental destruction, contamination, levels of greed (inequality)? with the idea in mind that a corporation should "survive", and not grow until it eats everything around it?

Just an idea, fellow /progriders/. I'm high.

the goal would be dynamic equilibrium. that kind of software is a glorified homeostat.

the goal should be a fuzzy 'state' composed of loose ranges values for many variables. How to determine such ranges? Only by experimenting.

A smart guy called Stafford Beer developed a model called Viable System Model designed to search and mantain such balanced goal. The keyword there is VIABLE, in a sense that goes beyond pure money.
