States need all of their citizens to augment their information processing
Equally important is the clarification that states need all of their citizens to augment their information processing. This is not the same as the need to augment the total information processing carried out on an information platform that is a state by its citizens. The latter implies that systemic inequality is embedded in states: at the extreme, if this were the case, one citizen could carry out almost all of the information processing within a state, leaving all others with very little processing to do (given that information is finite in the analogue world). While this may be or may have been the case, inequality (although natural to humans, see §24.00.12) should not be perceived as condoned systemically within the above reasoning. Instead, the need is for each citizen to augment his or her information processing. Should some (or a few) do so in certain pursuits more successfully than others, the extent to which this is or is not acceptable in any given state is a discussion on the optimal form of government, and thus falls into the political realm.
