Great points, Kallum. Thanks for engaging. Glad we can finally follow up the open loop from December when we briefly started discussing NLP and technology. I need closure! ?
Totally agree about taking action and not waiting for tech to fix things. Tech just amplifies what we are, so we need to make better people to develop and use the tech for sure.
As for access to advanced tech, the Have Mores will always have more than the Have Lesses, by definition. But I think even the trickle down tech available to the masses is going to be quite powerful. I mean what if you could buy a robot for $15 that can take care of your home, grow your own organic food, cook for you, etc? When AI and robots really kick in, especially if/when fusion energy finally happens, the price of goods can go down at the speed of Moore’s Law… exponentially. Do you think anyone would need Universal Basic Income in that scenario? What if we don’t need to work because we earn enough in a few hours to pay for our way of life for a month? What would we do then? Life might not revolve around economics anymore. So then we have more time to focus on our personal and spiritual development.
There are a lot of voices taking about how things can go wrong. I hear very few voices talking about what do we want to create instead?
Transform the Planet… into what, specifically?
I bet we can come up with some pretty cool ideas on this forum with the high level of thinking here. Would love to hear more people’s thoughts on what an empowered, humanistic, life-affirming future might look like on this planet and beyond.
