World hunger. A serious problem indeed not to meantion hunger that comes of wars and even yet hunger that can occur even in America as a result of poverty. Many look to governments and even charity and speeches of self reliance but such things are not as effective as technology can be. I work on many technologies but this is one of my favorites. This is based on my theory that food plants and animal tissue can be produced in a factory environment and greatly accelerated in their growth as to be mass produced perhaps by machines not that large in size. I say factory environment but this can also be home based perhaps like any other appliance like one would acquire.
Such technologies can lead to the complete change in an economic structure. With such technologies the need for welfare can become obsolete and why not. Everybody can have such an appliance. With such technologies employment by everybody can be guaranteed it's just you will do your work at home with such technologies. Of course to make complex gizmos will still require individual intelligence however it should still be possible that complete morons can utilize the artificial intelligence to make a good living.
This type of technology based economy I refer to on occasion as the Messian Paradise Economy. This is a vision I believe in completely. But don't confuse this with a socialist or communist society where the single reason you exist is to produce for the state.
But this is a full time job to develop this and funding for such work can be difficult to obtain even when I present the option of receiving the money back when my work actually becomes productive. This all reminds me of Alexander Graham Bell the inventor of the telephone. Often times he obtained funding for his work from grants from his father in law related to his work with the deaf but their were times when he and his associate Watson had to steal chickens to survive. They had their hard times but when the telephone became functional they became quite rich.
In order to grasp the significance and importance of such work let's examine briefly some facts about the current economy of the worlds industrialized nations. Case in point the current factory structure. Let's begin with a product and its patent. A patent gives its holder exclusive rights to manufacture the product. All other potential manufacturers thus employers are barred. These are people who don't get jobs unless civilization becomes aware that it would be far more beneficial to shorten or even eliminate the patent structure. So that now the factory has the patent they fill it with automation to build the product. Again this is where people don't get jobs.
This type of thing is happening on a mass scale today. Mass un-employment more than official numbers recognize. Unprecedent numbers of young adults living with their parents because the jobs simply aren't there and you're so caged in by things like the patent structure you just don't have any chance. Technology is driving a change on the economic structure and it is forcing humanity to adapt to this new economic world order. A number of old economic ideas simply are no longer valid. No president is causing this nor can they stop it. The competition to get burger flipper and other services jobs is so fierce that getting one is like winning the lottery. The only jobs that appear to be un-filled are high education degree or very dangerous jobs.
Then their are reasons that bad government does contribute to un-employment. Mandates upon a business to provide employee services beyond the basic wage and even mandate what one would describe as social engineering that can make it all but impossible for a business to function. This and labor unions that force wages above the world standard and drive business' over seas to places like China for example that have smog so bad that people are suffocating in the pollution.
Never the less their is a reality that the industrialized world will have to face. How are people going to be part of this economy to survive since machines are doing so much of the work. You only have two real choices. Own the machines as an investor and insist on dividends or be on welfare.
Welfare. This is where the economic collision is beginning to occur. This will require great changes in the way people think. If they don't their will be violent revolution. The fact is a heavily automated society will have and can support a large segment of society that one might describe as worthless slugs who do nothing but live to play. The big question is how many slugs can it support and how fast are they reproducing?
But this can cause one to think. If automation is becoming so extensive at what point does it become practicle to simply give the product away? It's not costing the machines anything however energy and maintenance are overhead costs. In any event the products should be very cheap which does indeed appear to be the trend today.
This type of society could indeed have extensive problems from the indolence and the psychological effects which is why the Messian Paradise Society tends to center around technological self employment in a society that looks to have little use for money and the most ingenious may never use money at all.
How ever it is recognized that those with limited skills generally have more prosperity in a society with money and trade. For after all the psychological and other health benefits and self esteem that comes from the up and at it needs have long been known.
So it appears this society will have money in the form of a debit card. It will be called the "Buck" $ complete with image of a stag with antlers and it is not to be confused with the dollar. I will use basic facts now and why will clear later. I've been a student of economics for many years but I'll keep it short.
The money supply must and will be strictly controlled for stability and trust. The buying power of the buck can be expected to be solid and strong with the penny having real value and a $1 should be enough for a solid restaurant meal and I say this with the understanding that this is done, in this freest of all economies, through the money supply and never price controls. This money supply is expected to be strictly maintained at $20,000.00 per person and this figure can be useful as a gauge of personal prosperity.
Now an interesting and profitable situation occurs. For money to be useful it must be in the hands of the people sure enough but getting it there is most interesting. Most governments actually buy things from the people so this occurs naturally but the Citadel is a self sufficient industrialized complex with no need to buy anything from the people. The governing of this money is only for the benefit of the people and since the complex never needs it then the usual printing with abandon that you get with other governments will never happen. And not only that but taxation should not be expected unless a correction in the money supply need occur.
So what this means is simple and that being the only way to get the money into circulation is to literally give the money in the amount of $20,000.00 (about $200,000.00 American), that being their share of the money supply, to each individual as a one time grant upon gaining admittance to the city.
And here is another entirely new economic idea and it concerns the one and only tax and it is based on the reality that the money is meant to be a medium of exchange and isn't useful to be hoarded as wealth. If you want to hoard wealth then you must buy/convert money into something else. What happens is if you posses substantially more than your share of the money supply then you are automatically taxed at a slow rate and the money is transfered to those who have substantially less than their share of the money supply. As you can see this creates an automatic welfare.
Their may be more details later.
