Our world has drastically changed over the past 100 years. Our advancements are quickly replacing demand for humans to do many jobs. Do you ever see police on the Jetsons? All transport was AI controlled. Manufacturing is migrating to robotic, AI driven infrastructure. Find some vids on Amazon supply chain or any Asian car manufacture. Amazing. Private assistants are right around the corner… in the form of a human robot at your service.
So, what have is a drastically changing society that will idle a lot of people. What do you do with them? Bill G. thinks we just kill them off and cap the number of residents on the planet. NO Bill. Wrong thinking.
Instead, why don’t we completely and utterly end all wars, hostility and fights and take all those immense resources (including the Mil Industry Complexes) and focus them on this societal paradigm shift for the people who live here?
This is huge. It means a re-design of the very operating structure supporting the entire world. Big deal, right? The WEF and Orgs. have played their hand on how they envision this endgame. Same response we gave Bill… No. Wrong thinking.
The reason this is the Greatest Time in human history is because of this unprecedented opportunity to truly build something that allows human beings to flourish and thrive. If that sounds like an unreasonable idea… you need to expand your thinking. Because the alternative on the table does exactly the opposite. They are not hiding their agenda.
It is time we all stand together and propose what we have in mind. These bad players will be so overwhelmed they really won’t be able to walk in the streets.
…my two cents.

How about us humans just staying in the Industrial Age and leaving the Technical Age alone? Wins for me. All that technology has brought us is...Loss of Privacy where people from different countries can steal your identity and ruin your life. Gives the government ways to spy on each of us. Makes us and especially our children into couch potatoes who never move because of endless gaming systems. This causes us to become so idle that we gain weight, eat enormous amounts of junk food, and cause disease to our bodies. This becomes not only a big win for the food industry, but for big Pharma as well. Technology does have it's upsides, but I believe the way everyday humans lived without it before is a much bigger PLUS. OH for the Good Old Days.
Unfortunately, technology never goes away once it arrives. As a boomer, I liked the old days too... but there is a flip side to consider.
Imagine if the world suddenly started cooperating, exporting human freedoms and reduced the gov't overreach and shrunk their involvement. We could run the world with a fraction of the budget. We could have 3 day work weeks and allow humans the freedom to be expressive in any endeavor they favor.
Well, you have a point. But I still like the good old days.
Just keep in mind that "scarcity" is a manufactured concept. There is plenty of everything.
