Cool! Hadn't read HLI. Read a bit.

This return. Maybe. But writing style, information formatting and concepts seem enough different for me to think that it is another person than HLI. My guess imo. But that's of lesser importance or focus.

Personally I hail the concept New-HLI talks about, when it writes about scarcity and that the whole world, today is in a state of scarcity. Then N-HLI points to that being artificially made… That given with the right governance/societal structure, we really aren't in a world of scarcity…! How come? Is that true? Is the worlds resources able to be distributed given the correct way of handling our (I presume global) resources?

I have acquired only one main literary, scholarly and to a certain degree intellectual hero throughout my 31 years. He's an American. And his work is called:

Energy and the Human Journey: Where We Have Been; Where We Can Go

The chapter "Humanity’s Fifth Epochal Event: Free Energy and an Abundance-Based Political Economy" (http://ahealedplanet.net/humanity.htm#epochal5) is of special interest for this discussion, as it is a thought-through vision of what tomorrow could look like!

THIS IS A MASSIVE CONTRIBUTION TO THE DISCUSSION OF OUR NEXT CHAPTER IN HUMAN CIVILIZATION!

Also something I will put out there.

(And for reference: is it important/necessary to have a spiritual perspective? )

"For me, my worldview does not become comprehensive until the metaphysical/spiritual/mystical (pick the term that seems to suit best) perspective is incorporated, because I view all my work and life through a mystical lens. By that, I mean that I always seek the biggest possible picture in everything that I observe and experience. In order to speak to the world of scholarship, science, history, et cetera, it has been necessary to try speaking the language of those disciplines. While my work on Columbus and the European conquest of the world can stand on its own historical legs (or my research on fluoride, thermodynamics and cancer treatment can stand on its own scientific legs), history only tells part of the story, no matter how comprehensive it may seem, no matter how heavily it relies on primary source material."

Back to speaking about governance models, and now also if it is feasible to make a world where resources/wealth is distributed in such a way that everyone has a well enough off life or not?

And is it reliant of free energy to become reality - as ahealedplanet.net thinks - or not?

Continuing the line of thinking that New-HLI was leading. I would first like to take a step back and ask (because I don't have many answers).

What socio-economic policies could be set in place to prevent negative influence from

corruption being able to happen?

Is it so that if we were able to use a holistic way of thinking around socio-economic policies, it's possible to build a societal foundation based on abundance?

Is that true? Like New-HLI talked about being a true statement. Is it possible to organize society in a way that we are not living in scarcity?

It's an extremely complex answer - if it exists.

I love read opinions and views and answers to this question!

Here are some ramblings of mine about questions to think about concerning systems of governance:

What is a better governance system?

What kind of governance system can be made?

Representative? Direct? (How do you manage a state-machine based on direct democracy?) Other forms of governance? Theo-judicicratic-based? AI-based?

What should the structure look like?

An apropos of an idea to an implementation of direct democracy:

All must have an ID to vote. It must then also be made electronic/digital. Then you have an Internet portal (website) for voting. (With the most advanced intelligence-apparatus the world has ever seen to protect it's integrity and functionality, hackers should not be a hindrance to this idea!)

The idea is interesting. And will have a lot of variables in the way you could design it. Maybe let popular voices be able to get the votes for particular fields - or every decision that must be taken - FROM the individual voters. The voters could give his vote to another person to decide for him (on single-, multiple- or all political issues).

With this way of governing, you would have more freedom in designing the system to the way we feel is correct.

I'm half way through HLI now. I too share your optimism and renewed hope OP!

I don't know if the layperson (or even the scientists and engineers themselves) knows how extraordinary projects humanity as a WHOLE could make, and the world that could be made with it, given lots of resources (eq. to $2 trillion i.e.)!

Humanity's total value production a year is over $120 trillion! Could humanity - together - afford to use 1-2% of it's collective efforts towards GIGA projects that would benefit all?

Of course we could! But we need to do something first, to be able to do that.

Hear me out here.

There's just two things that needs to be collectively addressed to solve EVERY other problem we have:

1. Our global monetary system

2. Our energy dependency.

!!!

I propose that what we need is to set down a board of the smartest and most brilliant people that also has integrity and wants prosperity for everyone.

And let them hit on the problem for as long as it takes to find a solution for both of those two problems combined.

If you do that, we could make paradise on earth. No joke.

Would that be impossible?

I don't think so. I have a feeling that it's possible.

————-

Solar panels in space for electricity drops the prices to 10 times less than today. 130 Japanese scientists researched this for years. More than fully achievable with current technology. They dropped it because they wouldn't profit from it, or too long time frame for profits.

Think what's in the picture, just imagine x10.000 times bigger and several.

What can you get the price per kWh down to if you spend trillions???

And that energy is "unlimited". No burning, never "runs out"!
