Example? Economic theory is about the interactions of humans, so I'll expect your theory to be more than the inane "rational actor" crap.

And, please, no presumptions that bad actors drive out good actors, since that is very much a subject of dispute.

Group evolutionary theory, etc. Now that we've finally got participatory communication, rather than broadcast top down communication, it's possible we can figure out how to sort out the overload.

I see the human perception of information as William James' description, "a buzzing, blooming confusion" talking about what the world looks like to a newborn baby.

The question is: "Who's the caretaking adult?"

Align culture with our nature. Ot else!

And if the population were educated in social responsibility and participation from birth, who knows how it might work out?

well, from birth might be a challenge, (nursery wallpaper, tattooed breasts?), but pretty damn soon after!

this point is crucial,imo, and cannot be over-emphasized.

right now most of the social programming during our most impressionable years has remained diffident at best, breathtakingly ignorant at worst.

which explains so much of the oikiness...

rich and just for whom, the few favored?

perhaps 'richer, and juster' might fly better...
