so i agree gIgO, but i dispute that all we could put in is garbage, if u ask me there are already some people using these techniques but applying them in ways that are not using the method to the fullest extent possible, they use it for exit polls and to win elections rather than to find solutions that dont piss people off and fix problems ie, net gain....
progress should imo mean net gain , game changing shit, not just rearranging the pieces and causing conflict between people by stealing from some to give to others.

well the weather isnt irrational, religious, ambitious, or anything that makes simulating society tricky. they could use stuff like the polls to find out how many people would support trying a particular system or something like that. but simulating how it all would actually play out irl is the stuff people actually want to know but doesnt seem possible atm. at least imo. communism looks good on paper but it just doesnt pan out very well when its actually applied
