Automation would be employed to minimize tedium, open up time for love and creativity, and free us from shackles of monotony and drudgery.

The only jobs worked by humans would be those done enjoyably or for passion’s sake — none for financial obligation or societal coercion.

Wealth would be technologically self-perpetuating and distributed equitably, regardless of age, ethnicity, or gender.

Health would be provided for free of cost as a natural consequence of being a human being in a society as technologically-advanced as ours.

Housing would similarly just be a given product of existing as a human being in a progressed and capable world.

Debt would not exist.

Slavery would not exist.

Deception would not exist.

Racism would not exist.

Costly energy industries that damage our environment would not exist.

Advertising would not exist — at least not in its current exploitative and grossly parasitic paradigm.

Science and spirituality would be understood to work symbiotically, not as diametrically-opposed forces or schools of thought, and explored accordingly.

Embracing the paradox of being. Writing about spirituality, philosophy, and personal experience, I hope to make you both laugh and think. Maybe even learn.
