It seems like a great society in so many ways. Not perfect, but no society is. Instead of everyone fending for themselves and trying to find happiness on their own, they receive their callings from a higher ranking power. Through testing the people, the Qun can make very educated guesses at what you would do a good job spending your time with. This means everyone gets to be productive and feel like part of something greater than themselves, each and every person important as cogs in a wheel of society. Less people would feel lost and could instead focus on doing what they do best.

Of course, the drawback is an obvious lack of freedoms. Is the freedom to do the wrong choice and the freedom to fail truly things we want, however? I feel very compelled by the Qun myself and would definitely look into them if their society was real. Is this just my unemployed self seeing roses where there is only mirage, or are there others who feel similarly?

This is a reminder that real-world political or religious discussion is not permitted in our community. It's far too easy for someone to take comments a little too personally and start a flame war.
