Design for the Future
* Design for the Future
* In order to plan for the future we must first survey and inventory all of our available planetary resources. This information must be compiled so that we know the parameters for humanizing social and technological development. * This can be accomplished using computers to assist in defining the most humane and appropriate way to manage the environment and human affairs.
* Existing technologies far exceed the human capacity for arriving at equitable and sustainable decisions concerning the development and distribution of physical resources.
* With artificial intelligence money may become irrelevant, particularly in a high-energy civilization in which material abundance eliminates the mindset of scarcity.
* If human civilization is to endure, it must outgrow our conspicuous waste of time, effort, and natural resources.
* Not only must we rebuild our thought patterns, but also much of our physical infrastructure, including industrial plants, buildings, waterways, power systems, production and distribution process must be reconstructed from the ground up.
* If we are genuinely concerned about the environment and the fellow human beings, and want to end territorial disputes, war, crime, poverty, hunger and other problems that confront us today, the intelligent use of science and technology are the tools with which to achieve a new direction – one that will serve all people, and not just a select few.
* The purpose of this technology is to free people from the receptiveness and boring jobs and allow them to experience the fullness of human relationships, denied to so many for so long.
* Looking back at the dimmest memories of human civilization, we see that the thoughts, dreams, and visions of humanity are limited by a perception of scarcity. Funding restricts even technological development, which has the best potential to liberate humanity from its past insufficiencies.
