CMV: Governments Should be Run Like Experiments.

Pretty simple concept. Governments and the laws that they pass should be treated like scientific experiments and follow the scientific method: Observation - Hypothesis - Test - Refine. 

Observe and identify societal problems. Formulate an idea as to how to fix it. Establish objective criteria upon which to judge the proposed solution and put it into action. Collect data to see if the solution is working as intended, and if it is not, tweak the solution or scrap it altogether and start again. 

I understand that underlying power structures will never let this happen. I also understand that agreeing to objective criteria is much easier said than done, and that partisanship in this paradigm would probably result in attempts to undermine solutions that are working but are not your own. That said, until we evolve to the point where the above is possible, I don’t think we’ll ever transcend the current global status quo that only really works for those at the top.

There are several fallacies in your argument:

1) The system is too complex to be divided in small and correlated hypotheses that can be tested. 

2) Governmental action takes decades to produce results and for the true effects to be measurable. With elections happening every 2, 4 and 6 years, it is impossible to keep an experiment going to produce reliable data for analysis. 

3) The experiment can't be controlled and can't be repeated. Many external factors outside of the government's control will skew the data.
