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…
