How might we bring a 10x improvement in the quality of life of eight billion people by 2050?

«If you think we can't change the world, it just means you're not one of those who will.»
1. Human Diaspora
| As governments around the world keep pushing humanity deeper and deeper towards an inverted totalitarian surveillance corporatocracy, no change can be made through existing corrupt, bureaucratic quasi-governmental institutions. If we step back, it may become clear that what we need is not a government, but a working social fabric with the proper societal organization. We should not serve ideas and structures when they are designed to serve our society's needs, both educational and economic.
|
| Thomas Paine, one of the most influential 18th-century thinkers, wrote that "society is produced by our wants, and government by wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices" in his famous "Common Sense", which advocated for American resistance against the British rule. Our organizational system should be developed from the bottom-up to serve our society, provide an opportunity for people, and create a new, potentially better alternative to old corrupt systems, which proved to bring global destruction, rather than fuel universal prosperity. Our fates are interwoven, as we build our societies, and if we pave a new way together, it may lead us towards a brighter future, than one envisioned now. |
| What could be a solution? Let's imagine transparent, decentralized, and poly-centric governance powered by blockchain social contracts and multiple chapters located worldwide. Such a concept was already proposed by Benjamin Bratton ("The Stack"), who envisioned autonomous yet interconnected chapters. With the creation of a parallel government, an old establishment could be left in the past, where it belongs. These ideas are already being brought to life by projects such as Freeland, open.coop, p2pmodels, and Ostrom Workshop. |
| What if we all could finally trust people who represent us by knowing them personally? The governance system I suggest eliminates idealogy-based voting and puts people back in the center of the system. Micro-changes lead to macro global changes, so starting small makes it possible to finish big. How would it work? Votes would accumulate and transfer further through a network of personal connections, so the most capable people ultimately emerge as future leaders. With the decentralized and localized power, which is delegated downstream, leaders would finally lead people towards a better future, rather than leading them on with false promises. To make sure that governors are fit for the office, they would have to pass tests, which would examine their humility, wisdom, and high consciousness. |
| All power should be accountable, and any incentive for authoritarian control should be deprived. Lack of accountability, high testosterone are among the factors that contribute to the corruption of the individual. Even a slight amount of power concentrated in one's hands alter one's cognition and perception. It rewrites and even damages the brain. |
| About half of the young generation already considers it as global citizens. As society keeps moving towards greater interconnectedness, borders would become obsolete. Among alternative organization models, ideas like derived from Cybernetics, "Viable System Model," "Designed Liberty" by Stafford Beer might be beneficial. As a government decision-making process, I propose a system implemented at Bridgewater Associates, where AI helps to make a collective decision by assigning a voting power based on everyone's experience in the topic discussed. |
To legitimize the government we create, one way is to get enough people to buy citizenship of the St.Kitts and Nevis so we can overthrow the government and create new rules. We need fewer than 20000 citizens (citizenship costs around $200k per family) to do this. Passport gives visa-free entry to more than 160 countries. We can also try to negotiate what we want to accomplish with some governments, as Seasteading Institute did to French Polynesia.
Another way is to overthrow the government and get legitimised is to get enough people who live in the "Commonwealth Union" (40+ countries) to vote for government change in Belize. This would also give access to International waters. In this area of international waters we may create, prototype and test new floating country, communities and ways of social organisation.
In this area of international waters we may prototype floating countries, create new communities and test new ways of social organisation. Being free from the judiciary limits of current governments, independent researchers and scientists from all over the world could live with their families to work, collaborate and invent for the betterment of all humanity without constraints of corporate financial or government interests.
Such ideas are possible. The "Burning Man" festival gathers more than 80 thousand people worldwide to create a utopian city for a week. Among permanently functioning examples there are projects like Free State Project, Christian Eco-village. There is even an official country without territory like the Order of Malta; nevertheless, it is still accepted by international law. We may use similar jurisdiction to legitimise ourselves.
2. Abundance Economy
A decentralized, encrypted economy based on interest-free banking and monetary system. There are alternatives to the current misleading duopoly of choice between "capitalism vs socialism." However, they rarely truly existed in the real world. Both ideologies based on radical individualism or radical collectivism are flawed. Using an integral approach, a healthy balance between nature and the needs of humanity, behavioral economics, and Praxeology, we may create an organically functioning system.
The notion of "trade" in the economy is damaging itself, perpetuating the scarcity mentality. Stanley Kubrick's "Eyes Wide Shut" is an excellent satire on the notion of trade. The goal state of the transformation of the economy should be voluntary sharing and giving. Maximizing humanity's potential through love, creativity, and wisdom instead of searching for maximum profit should be at the core of the new economy.

Doughnut economy, Buddhist economy, Cybernetic economy, alternative money-free economies like Sacred Economics, Gift economy, or resource-based economy of the Venus project are potential candidates. Policies of Georgism, Elinor Ostrom, Meidner Plan, and "Theory of Innovative Enterprise" should be considered.
Taxes, if kept, should be imposed on luxury spending, not on personal income. Similarly, we should embrace deflation of currency. It would reverse wealth distribution. Banks would need to benefit through profit-sharing agreements. Inflation and income taxes are theft. Federal reserve demonizes deflation and fights it.

Another idea is to have universal basic income based on multiple parameters: how developed and prosperous is the street you live in, the city, the country. Everything would be interconnected, so if a town is more advanced, to increase their income, they would need to help neighboring cities. It would create an incentive for people to collaborate towards multiple parameters of the common good. It would free people from debt, so a more creative, spiritually, and scientifically advanced, more developed world would be created. Even without a collective change in political systems, a switch to an alternative form of economic partnership among multiple political entities may be established. Zollverein of 1834 might serve as an example.
Any economy or governance system would fall without proper education to support it with integrity and conscience. People unite almost only on two occasions:
1. Being properly educated, they understand the value of collaboration as beneficial compared to the competition or
2. If people face a tremendous common threat, like war.
Such an education system should be available for all as it contributes to the betterment of all. It is the ultimate key to solve most of the world problems in their embryo. Education should be designed to maximize and unleash human potential and provide tools to understand himself and the world around him better.

Education should be designed to maximize and unleash human potential and provide tools to understand himself and the world around him better.
The whole world would become an ecosystem for the natural evolution towards higher consciousness, deep human connections, development of collaborative "abundance mindset," radical humility, brave spirit, virtue, character, conscience, compassion, willingness always to seek wisdom, real knowledge through personal experience and practice of self-inquiry (like Vedic pedagogy). People would voluntarily subscribe to such education as it would be challenging and engaging and joyful by helping achieve a "flow" state of consciousness when the learning increases to 300-400%. Still, it also produces as many natural happiness chemicals as no other state can generate. Flow is our natural way of living, which we forgot. When we are in tune with our true self, nature, and the universe, our biology rewards us. When we go further away from our origin, our true nature, we start to feel suffering and inner struggle.
Learning through play, stories, and interactions was our original and very effective way of learning through all ancient history and beyond. Using new technologies, we can get pedagogy to a truly unprecedented level by developing personalised stories carefully and dynamically tailored for each character. It would combine real-world play with interactions in Virtual World. Each student becomes an author of their own story and a conscious actor in the game of their life.
By living through history in the virtual world, one can learn ethics and valuable life lessons. It can be done by introducing Fail Smart incidents of micro-suffering similar to an idea of a vaccine or levels of difficulty in games. Children can learn and grow naturally without having a traumatic childhood experience but accept and prepare to deal with world reality bravely.
Every family, especially children, should be for free offered to have a psychologist monitor the child to help him succeed, supporting healthy development. Education would become life long and self-directed, leading to initiation into wisdom through a personal hero's journey. The latest technology advancements would help understand the child's needs and interests and propose education trajectories with content right in time when it's needed. It would also benefit from developing an experience profile for transparency between employees and employers. A CV would become redundant. A student would mark their progress himself based on multiple scales to monitor and have full control over the direction of their education.
Additionally, a network of mentors and teachers would continuously interact with children, learn and improve themselves, materials based on the latest science. Psychologists would identify potential psychopathy in infancy and introduce measures to counteract these negative traits.
Theoretical neuroscientist Dr. Vivienne Ming also identified how to robot-proof yourself through what she called "Meta-learning" skills that are quantifiable and scientifically proven to increase the quality of life and happiness of an individual or a group. Yet, nobody teaches them in current education models.

4. Shared Memory
We should realise that many world religions are mostly based on a mix of ancient wisdom combined with astrology, shamanism, paganism, and perverted interpretation of the Sumerian/Protoindoarian history of alien contact who engineered humanity to have higher consciousness, advanced speech, while also programmed cancer and ageing into our DNA. With a limit on the maximum lifespan of around 120 years, it was supposed to help control the population. If we take it into account, this solves many inconsistencies. There would be no need for the continuation of religious wars that corrupted our civilisation. Many times people in power modified history to alter people's beliefs for their benefit.
For example, Christianity was initially the teaching of Essenes shared with non-jews. Still, it was later hijacked by Apostol Paul to make it mainstream as he used salvation to permit sin and removed the need for circumcision. Then the Roman Empire during the First Council of Nicaea hijacked Christianity again. Through engaging in multiple dirty manipulations, the monopoly of the Catholic Church was proclaimed. Catholicism was favourable to the Roman ruler version of Christianity mixed with authoritarian religions of Mitra and Apollo worshipping. Gnostic teaching, who opposed mainstream Christianity, also misinterpreted original scriptures claiming that God (Demiurge) is ultimately bad, confusing it with a Sumerian description of aliens. Instead of arguing about religions, we need to bring all the mystic wisdom to better humanity. Similarly, science should not be a self-censoring dogma and instead incorporate ancient wisdom to unleash human potential.

5. Crowdsourced Culture
Today we are in a cultural war, and our culture should not be dictated by some government or corporation to move us into a nihilistic era of dark ages, grotesque, decadence, and despair, losing everything good in ourselves, everything that makes us humane.
To counter this, I suggest a different virtuous philosophy where we create and develop our culture ourselves with intentional effort and conscious understanding of how it would impact the consumer of this culture and ourselves. Art in this culture should not be perceived as an art product but as a powerful tool in the artist's hands.

If we consider the viewer, consumer of the culture to be "tabula rasa," someone behind the Rawl's "Veil of Ignorance," then the artist has an ethical responsibility to create such art that would positively impact the man he doesn't know. Artists may amplify the viewer's virtue, invoking their feelings of love, compassion, infinite potential, optimistic view of the future, dreams, and ambitions. It is as if the viewer's soul and the heart were the blank canvas with unlimited potential, and the artist helps to fill it with genuine goodness, a bright and colorful self-affirming worldview. The philosophy of "Metamodern stoicism" may serve as the foundation for this new culture.
6. Scientific Nexus
Humanity's greatest discoveries happened on the verge of multiple disciplines and our civilisation is standing on shoulders of giants who came before and created things that previously were thought to be unthinkable.
Instead, we may start a whole new scientific paradigm, focused on merging wisdom from different fields of knowledge using transdisciplinary approach. It will help to connect remote ideas towards new discoveries and a holistic picture of the world and ourselves.
We can create a platform, where researchers and seekers of wisdom from all over the world may collaborate, cooperate and work together on solutions for challenges humanity faces.

7. Integral Language
Creation of a new language that would help resolve many conflicts. It can be taught as a second language. It would be intentionally designed to advance human cognition, improve communication, increase self-awareness, and reduce ego-inflating words or bias and develop words with inner wisdom. It would be non-dual, non-binary. It is a complete opposite of the Newspeak from 1984 or LTI of Nazi Germany. This new language may be both phonetically beautiful and poetic. It can be AI-friendly, so the machine would have fewer problems to understand it and give more people access to programming by making it possible to use natural language commands.
