...to write beautiful and hideous things

I want to fix enough of my broken self to write good fiction.

I see certain things in a grandiose way but bog down on specifics.

My most difficult problem is writing credible, real, good, character
interaction in the society I would create. I loose...focus...cohesion...
and then despair that this ignorant fumbling is worthless.

This is a premise with a current observation and then *poof* mystical,
magical, a cardboard Greek god from the machine (deus ex machina)
intervention.

Known: Certain activities that should be driven by factual information
includes engineering, some human behavior, some science have a
reasonably quick feedback loop that will show an error. You build a
bridge wrong, if falls, you drink too much water too fast you'll get
sick or die, your work can't be duplicated and your science is foul.

Other activities that should be driven by factual information but take
multiple generations of distorted information to show error is where I
see us failing drastically now. Faux money, the holy religion of
immutable science, etc, in essence anything that does not have an
immediate failure mode that can be twisted by humans to be an irrational
condition is where I see us failing.

Story fodder:

If the printing of faux money causes the politician(s) who directed its
creation to die instantly would we have faux money? Same for any
activity that if allowed to fester would cause grave harm. Note: While
bad things happened after two presidents who did this without proper
obeisance to the 'real power' were killed the 'real power' were also
human so don't really count.

Just a mysterious death, consistently applied for certain acts, that is
sadistic, brutal and final. No vast and hollow proclamations from
curtains, no explanation, nothing. When it occurs should be a fixed
time from when the offense occurs. I'm all for them dying hideously
when submitting it to become an official act but before it becomes
cemented in law, rule or regulation.

Now write how people deal with that. Also does this usher in a glorious
golden age or does it destroy their spirit, their culture...and if ....
yea I get lost at this point. I'm not very good with people and suspect
they'd screw it up somehow.

Perhaps writing the screwup as screwed up as possible...

The rules are kind of writhing around in my head.

The rule can be idiotic, irrational, etc but has to be consistently
and ALWAYS applied.

These are mostly designed to effect government officials or lawgivers or
whatever happens to be ruling.

Now does the law take effect or do all the promoters of it die
hideously before any law can be made?

When should the lying scientist die?

Some rules:
No faux money, no paper or plastic ONLY items that have an intrinsic
worth. You direct it to be made and you die. Yea, that's going to be
fun...wtf are checks? Also no bits or bytes. No loans, no stocks,
bonds or bondage. Woops free speech takes a hit. Stating how much of
a currency item you have may be construed as a measure of worth. Tsk Tsk

No junk science, you don't get to promote your delusion. You just die.
That kind of warps folk to be very careful to do no science...perhaps
the society ends up with volunteers who die for science...
Perhaps it ends up with slaves who die for science...
Such ick...such glory. ;)

You weave your religions excretions into the law, die. You might want
to make sure the will of the whole people are on your side.
You probably will die anyway. I expect there to be a lot of martyrs.
Doing the stupid over and over again.

etc etc adnauseum...
