Yes, impossible.
Reading the FAQ (http://www.thevenusproject.com/introFaq.php) many serious subjects are causally brushed over and a lot of assumptions are made about humans would behave in such a society.
How would such a society deal with sociopaths or pedophiles? Oh that's right, they just magically wouldn't exist because of education and this new environment. Uh huh.
Read this when I was younger man and lived long enough to recognize it's unpleasant truth.
"People as group don't really adopt new ideas. Opponents to the new ideas must first die off."
Not a few of them. Almost all of them.
We've already had the war to end all wars.
That war was WWI
To change, we will need a total reset. Some change so fundenmental that it is impossible to rebuild the old system.
Even the world of Mad Max will not do. The old system will be reorganized around new scarcities.
As the wise and forward looking are always a tiny minority, they will be overwhelmed by the surviving masses.
I point u to Europe in the Dark Ages.
No, the Venus project discounts human nature, which as this stage in our evolution will not change. Notice that I said evolution, and not circumstances.
What u propose is a change in circumstances. It will not work.
The venus project will have to be left for a future generation to discover and build. If there are any of us left.
Do you ever contribute a single comment of substance on any thread you interject yourself into? EVER???
Troll.
First of all, most likely there will be FAR less sociopaths. Human behaviour depends on the social and economic conditions, it is not set in stone or in genes.
Look here and sort the last column

why do you think Japan has 70 times less murders than Venezuela? Because of standards of living and education.
In Tokyo, 35 million metropolis there's virtually none street crime. Sure, there's a hell of corruption at the high levels (yakuza, government) but common people (great song, btw) are peaceful.
Sociopaths need comprehensive psychological help, not closing them with other criminals which costs more and make such person even worse. Yeah, its good for private prisons they make $money on it.
Japan has been thrown up here for years regarding their better social numbers.
The society is much more controlled, much tighter.
And, the people are homogenous to the degree that mistakes by an individual tends to reverberate among families and communities, dishonoring them, which tends to be a strong deterrent.
