Turquoise Politics
Scientifically, life's meaning is propagation
Many of us can feel this, day to day.Subjectively, life may or may not have meaning, and depending on how you view things, this may or may not be positive.
Objectively, life has whatever meaning you give to it.
The way life has been manufactured to include money as a way to survive isn't a sustainable philosophy. It may work for a hundred or more years down the line, but once everything is automated and AI takes over our daily lives and space travel becomes a much more prominent part of our lives, normal jobs just aren't going to exist. AI is going to take the forefront at some point, and jobs that require higher learning, likely a masters degree or higher (in current standards), are going to be much more normal.
Money just gets in the way of progress, so does nationalism and politics.
I forsee a future where the human race has one government, and the most successful political system in the next hundred years is going to be the one that survives. One where everyone gets to live happily, without worrying about debt, hospital bills, transportation, food, shelter. A future where crime is at its lowest, where genetic therapy or modification will be normal, where we have cybernetic implants that enhance our bodies to accomplish things that previous generations could only dream of.
If money were no object and humans just pooled the resources of the planet and the solar system together, in unity, where religion has taken its last breath and no longer runs the beliefs of people who desire meaning in life, in hopes that they get to live forever after they die. Where human policy is about sustainability and perseverance through the future of the human species, where we see to it that we survive.
There will probably be wars fought over this idea because people's cultures will be under scrutiny and their beliefs will be put to the test.
Money is not a sustainable resource. It is only successful now because the countries with the most power have the most money.
Communism was a failed ideology because it requires sacrifice in a world where life is a sacrifice. In this future I propose, life will not be tedious. You will only need to do things that you love to do and success is measured on a collective level into the individual level, creating a sustainable system where people will want to contribute.
Communism requires a currency. What I forsee is a world where the currency is as good as the time, effort and passion put into your day to day life. There will not be a president of the world, probably more like a group of people, kind of like a senate, where the old ideas are voted against and wiped out, where the citizens of the planet will have the option to vote out every person on the board, just incase a younger generation is born and their ideas are better and more suitable to the future. They would also be able to vote people in and out more regularly than current day. Maybe once a year, maybe a little more, but only as a fail safe. When the leaders no longer serve humanity, they are fired.
But for any of this to happen science needs to take the reigns of politics, good philosophy needs to be introduced to the masses, beliefs need to be challenged on an individual level, and many people will probably disagree, at least at first.
Many more years down the line, we will see that a sustainable future requires sacrifice for the greater good of the species, and the propagation of belief systems that hold back the development of human kind will need to be challenged. That isn't to say that religion needs to be wiped out, just that it needs to be reframed as something that shouldn't be at the forefront of our lives, because they are archaic ways of viewing the world. They are beginning to no longer serve humanity. When Jesus never comes down from the sky to announce the end times, you will see how dangerous your beliefs are. When people see that their rigid belief systems that require them to hate others, almost justifiably because of the threat of a negative afterlife, when those beliefs become negated by scientific and philosophical progress, we will all move on from less than prolific ideology that our diety or deities have any more affect on our lives than just how we view the world with our thoughts, feelings and beliefs about it.
Our future depends on the policies we allow ourselves to be a part of in the present day.
The policies that look towards an equal and prolific future for all may not win presently, but as new people are born, so too will new ideas be birthed from the collective consciousness.
I won't live to see this future, but I know it's the only way humans will be able to coexist when money is no longer a palpable state of reality.
