School
is Level 1 prison
Let's do something
more controversial - finally! I've had a brilliant idea today while trying to
make a video about how great my new economic system is. Yep we're going to dive
deeper into economy because this is important to understand. Fundamentally this
answers what is the next step in human evolution. I found this answer while
trying to explain why love is like hunting and how it might change in the
future. It seems that if the system would stabilize… people would start be more
creative and less attractive or attractable to material stuff or how another
person looks. And the way the economy works, how the whole system/game works
determines our next step. And once we perfect that we can move even further.
So the transition is
quite clear: robots must take ALL of the repetitive works. The real question is
what humans are going to do and how this transition will happen. So far I
haven't heard a clear solution neither from the side of "Free Trade" where
everyone trades without government, nor I've heard a clear solution from
"Resource Based Economy" idea where you simply distribute resources
and somehow encourage people to be creative. My solution is not only a clear
transition, but a direction of how we should perfect the economy and move to
something else.
There is a
fundamental FACT about how economy must work: something must represent value
(money) and that money must come back to the source if not used (inflation).
This is the main reason why inflation exist in the first place… government is
simply taking it's money back, because it assumes that it controls the whole
countries value. Printing more money is the only way governments can get their
money back without attacking people directly and for once I've started to see
that it can be justifiable. The reason money must come back to the source is
simple: money can't be idle. If money
doesn't flow then economy is losing it's potential. All the money in banks or
in pockets basically is dangerous to the economy for being idle, for blocking
possible trades. But also money discourage "all way" trading, where
you can buy anything at any time. Or at-least we don't have the capacity to do
so.
Now with the
technological advancements we can finally hook up every person with a
smartphone and have them display a new much more flexible currency, which you
can spend in more places and more freely and nobody can steal it from you
(unless by extreme hacking). And because virtual money is super flexible it
could be taken from you slowly while being idle. So this would encourage you to
make trades or simply give your money to someone who is actively making trades,
investing into something. One opening possibility to spend money would be to
become more visible. I've visited a social website called "Twoo". And
it's interesting how it introduces credits in order to be more visible, to
share your picture on the wall, you sent 100 notifications to random people…
This is what people are thirsty for - a way to invest into their ideas, promote
themselves. You see this in how aggressive and valuable adds are in this stage
of economy. This is basically what Youtube runs on, until Youtube Red will start
to perhaps take over the model of random add placement.
My system is not
much new… I am just suggesting for money to become for flexible and visible.
Where people are rated for how much they are progressing, how important they
are on certain topics. If on your video you get some expert's comment you would
possibly want to see that comment first and know how important that person is,
to understand how much you should care about that comment and if that person
made a mistake or made an insulting comment… well you can down-rate that
person. Also Youtube channels wouldn't count "the most popular", but
"the best" because no longer you would care about the number of
subscribers, but how many people actually like the content and how many of
those people are actually important. I am pretty sure very important people
don't waste their time watching Pewdiepie… And "important person" is
considered a person that have gathered most positive attention rather than
wealth… and it's really easy to love that attention/score just by making a simple
mistake.
And so what about
jails? What happens if someone scores below 0, if someone doesn't contribute
anything to society for long enough and there is nobody out there to support
who they are… well they have to be rehabilitated back to society. This is what
jails supposed to do, but don't… But this is what school does. It assumes that
you don't know how to provide value and gain enough money for survival so it
asks you to learn arbitrary things… it's mandatory… it basically robs young
people's potential, but it's ok… it's just really outdated. In my vision people
that can't provide enough positive value would have to go to school - Level 1
prison. And perhaps then schools will actually care to teach them what they
DON'T know and what they need to know to come back to society. It's like an
orphanage because you would expect for parents to give legacy of what they have
done in life if that was a creative activity.
And this shouldn't
be something weird/scary… I figured out that this is where we're heading,
eventually we will get rid of uncreative/repetitive jobs and somehow economy
will still have to hold on without any minimum wage or other bullshit that was
invented to make economy more sustainable and even more outdated. But there
seems to be no other way, but to update the old system, not invent something
that would provide a possibly destructive CHANGE. Transition has to be smooth
and always forward. We don't need to unlearn things, but reconsider and stay
curious about possibilities. You don't like apples? But what if you do?
Consider that… Until then ask yourself, should you be schooled? Would you
provide enough value in the new rising creative society? Let me know…
