Electricians and electrical technicians and engineers. The modern world would truly screwed without the electricity grid.

they don't have time to make food though right, so farmers. but farmers need enough order to not get all their food stolen so an enforcer (more people and/or people with bigger sticks) like the police or some authority that prevents the probable path of least resistance for people of stealing the food which requires educational ethics so they don't abuse their power and steal anwyays (which turns out being good parenting) and then well you need the parents to be born but that'll happen no matter what which requires storks so i'm going to raise stork awareness.:storks: look at them! save them! you're welcome earth

Politicians because we could never have become so organised if we didn't all have someone to hate together.

So this was just a joke and no one is actually smarter than anyone else, especially concerning subjective dream-like interpretations of things?

Yes
I'd say people responsible for production of construction materials - if that counts a single job. Especially with the rate of global urban growth and all. The economic impact would be huge if the construction of new buildings were to grind to a halt...

I like to imagine that the world would look something like Kowloon Walled City. Or a scene from The Walking Dead.

You basement
Not school teachers. People assume they are the single ones responsible for education...

Coaches, Trainers, work trainers, parents, siblings, the best buy guy who showed you how to change the resolution on your computer. The neighbor who showed you how to properly install a door. The buddy who taught you to skate board. The counselor who taught you how to properly argue. Etc...


Teaching is the job and responsibility of society. It is the backbone of civilization.

Yup, also the best teacher is yourself.

'Everything' in this world is connected via a giant 'web' of cause, effect and inter-relatedness. To try and take one job out of the context of this 'web' seems a bit contrived.

For being a supposed bunch of analysts INTP's can sure miss opportunities to analyze, I sometimes think INTP's are the worlds best bullshitters (myself included) ...

Taking a look at world population size we see that China and India have the lions share. Taking the big fry in the top 11 we have China at 19% of world and the Philippines at 1%, and taking those as the representative population we have China at 32% of that population and Philippines as 2%, which indicates that the countries below 1% are having a negligible effect. This group represents 59% of the world population.

So China at 19%/32% and India at 17%/30%, together being 36% of the world population means that the answer lies with them. Given that these masses of people are largely poor and rural, I would say that removing the Government "job" (jobs of course) would have the greatest effect, due to it providing disaster relief (of whatever efficacy), basic health, roads, law, organization and sometimes services.

Indeed the reason why we can't invade North Korea is that China knows that if the North Korean government was overthrown they'd have an enormous problem on their hands, and would have to step in and take it over themselves. Otherwise the first thing the US would do is put in a democratic government, which they couldn't allow. The point being that without a government 'job' anarchy would occur.

Going point, although time frame is important to consider. Anarchy would probably be detrimental and most negative to greatest amount of people in the short run, but something new and potentially better would arise once spontaneous order runs it's course.

i.e. another government. I don't know of any case in history where a significant sized population spontaneously reverted to an indiginie state (non government). That is, being a large population indicates that a government is a necessary lubricant. At most a mono government breaks into smaller states, such as with the Roman Empire or Glasnost Soviet Russia.

Yes but maybe more social in nature, less exploitative based. Government is necessary to protect the rule of law, rights of person and property without a doubt. There is a distinction between the State and government as Franz Oppenheimer, Albert Jay Nock, and others have indicated. History has shown the repeating cycle of the rise and fall of societies and usually you see decentralization followed by centralization-that's true. The Icelandic Commonwealth is an example of polycentric law in action compared to more common case of monopolies(the State).

That's fine but is beside the point. If the question is what is the most important work to most people then for better or worse the answer is the government. Separately there are better and worse ones, true.

The interesting point is whether such a dissolution tends to lead to a more enlightened government, my suspicion would be that it does. For a time at least.
