If we could run everything on "reason", yes, that would be great. I don't disagree, it would produce good results. The problem is, humans show time and time again they cannot be counted upon to act reasonably or rationally.
Suppose I were to argue that all our problems would go away if we had free energy. "Yes, of course" you might say. "That would solve many many problems. But we don't have free energy, and we probably never will." This is how I feel about your position.
