Automating social well-being for greater levels of human expression I've been contemplating the codification of human values into codes of law that through technology, we can get live, living feedback and administration of our intent. This concept connotes Big Brother, but automation requires environmental awareness, and it is requiring people to consider and debate the implications. Yet, it does have the capacity to improve service.

As citizens, we can work with government to identify, measure, and evaluate key metrics and performance along those lines. Personally, I also think its important to be aware of the overhead required for such detailed tracking, so I find value in automating away administrative overhead where possible.
