I hope you succeed in making the world a better place. Just don't focus so much on efficiency and perfect solutions. They can be short-sighted.

It seems to me like you have an idea for what the ideal world might look like. But beware that it would be an unstable solution. The problem with central control is that it is fragile. Voting systems are inefficient, but they are more robust and harder to corrupt. Still corruptible, obviously, but less so.

You want to seek a system that can withstand the pressures and corruption of the real world.
