    People who are unable to aquire their dreams will be unable to aquire their dreams if they are drones. The need cannot simply be erased by brainwashing. Specifically, something like the sexual instinct cannot be suppressed. In Nineteen Eighty-Four, they gave up on suppressing it and instead redirected it. Emotions were focused on aggression and war, not done away with. Much more plausible, and possibly seen today in some members of society.

    Who needs workers? I will assume that all people go through this. If not, then at some point those who created the system will die off, and there will be no more people to need workers. There will be workers only, just working for no reason. Satisfying no one.

    Furthermore... It would be impossible. There would be people in that other part who would object. You would have war... On some level.

    On the other side, it could be argued that we already have such a system. Schools are engineered to produce the greatest results, the best tax-paying workers that it can produce. The main reason why we are not fully under control is because we are more productive if we are free to work with our ingenuity and believe that we are free. A balance of work and play maximizes productivity. Cattle produce better meat and milk if they are given more space to live in. That is not going to change any time soon.

    How bout we also note imaginary friends? Chrildren have them as a way of playing with "someone" and learning interaction skills without having to interact with another human.... It's another way play is important in children

    Kids need a little freedom in their lifes and we shouldn't take away that freedom.
