1) Most of those changes (more comprehensive retraining programs, changes in pension systems, massive expansion of medical care system, changes in political system) would be either objectvely good irregardless of any other development, or would be good simply due to rapidly expanding expected lifespan of humans (remember, it's something like 140 in canon, and continues to grow relatively fast in this time period due to introduction of advanced medical science from citadel races and its adaptation to humans).
It seems to me that the things you are trying to change are all on the regional level (that is, on the level of individual nations Earthside or colonial governments on the space side), not something we can obtain by lobbying efforts on the Alliance level. That's going to make things immensely more difficult, as right now we're a very small fish with out-sized clout at the Alliance level thanks to our military tech contributions. Seriously, right now our
whole company's material assets add up to less than one Alliance military frigate (34.5 billion vs. 46.3 billion, according to our balance sheet and
this post).
The kind of full-spectrum regional intervention you're talking about is going to require us to have a physical presence in most, if not all, of those regions, and command of enough of the galactic economy that people will listen to us; that's going to take quite a lot of time, if it even ever actually happens.
2) It's a misdirection ploy. Analysts will extrapolate on the subjects we are advancing to study us and our focuses and determine our secrets. Making broad political agendas of promoting welfare and such would either confuse them, or perhaps misdirect them away from our other secrets, helping to mask lobbying for and development of such stuff as Cabiras
Heh, we tipped our hand about building warships already, enough so that Admiral Hackett is personally calling us to refit his warships. What we're keeping under wraps is the crazy combination of Repulsors, Arc Reactors, gravitational detectors and QComm, and TIR stealth systems to make a crazy-powerful stealth ship, and the frankly broken combo of gigawatt lasers and variable wavelength lasers to fire GRASERs from those crazy stealth ships. All that is going to stay hidden thanks to Flawless Blackboxing, and the fact that nobody will ever believe it's even possible until we single-handedly stop the Skylian Blitz with a half dozen frigates, not by the political equivalent of chaff.
3) Asari society is far from ideal. While yes, I expect some of the changes brought on by this to be modeled after them, not all will be, and not all should be. That's not even going into how individual governments within Alliance still exist and some of them are likely monarchies (UK)
I don't have much to comment on this one because I need to read up more on Asari society. From what I understand it's mostly like humanity but without a Systems Alliance: a bunch of regional powers ruled mostly through some sort of democratic system, who only really come together to elect a Councilor to represent their interests at the Citadel. ME-era humanity would have probably developed into something similar on their own, if the Turians hadn't invaded and forced the humans to unite under a common banner. It remains to be seen if the Alliance even has legs as an organization. It is, after all, less than a generation old at this point, and could very well collapse the same way all similar confederations of mostly-independent member states have.
4) Introduction of immortality solely possible for humans (at first) will result in big changes in human-alien politics, and those need to be addressed to. Further, i can see a strong opposition against developing immortality tech for aliens from both governments and individuals - we need to be prepared to face such opposition.
Um, won't they be simultaneous? We're slated to complete Perfect Alien in 2174-Q3 (though we need a couple of omakes I think to ensure it won't slip another quarter, given the investments we've made this quarter), so we'll already have it when we develop Immortality in early 2176.
On a completely unrelated note,
@Hoyr: do the blackboxing techs help harden our VIs against being hacked?
Well that's what I thought was happening... the that's for the next 12 months thing.
