Interesting! So, let me get this straight: is it the creation of structures you have a hard time believing in, or the use of those structures by citizens?

Also: I'm probably being a bit thick, could you rephrase the meaty bit of your second sentence: "there's nobody to do it ... but the same beings in need of it being right-as-though-created-by-an-un-fucked-up species to begin with in order for there being any chance of it succeeding"?

I believe structures created by imperfect beings necessarily wind up imperfect - the latter imperfection proportional to the collective former, divergence from perfection further amplified by inter-person (i.e. inter-separate-mind-contexts) communication inadequacies/assumptions/filters/breakdowns.

And yet a lot of said imperfect beings are convinced they - or someone else maybe less (but, of course, never utterly) imperfect - could create structures that could possibly bootstrap the creators above their imperfections.

Not that the above is necessarily "right", of course....
