This consortium was just announced yesterday - but they're in the forefront of bringing us beyond the limits of global geography and raw materials constrictions. In time, there will be no need to keep resources away from any human being.
- Automation will banish the costs of low-skilled labor and free human beings up for creative work.
- Cheaper and better access to space will make space mining, farming, energy production, and colonization a way around the limits of space and arable land on Earth.
- Electronic, and eventually quantum communications technologies will allow human communication and connection across vast distances within the solar system.
- Artificial Intelligence will allow the production of goods and services to continually evolve for better sustainability and recyclability.
- Collective decision-making will be enhanced with technology, eventually bypassing the top-down autocratic systems of the past and making greed and hoarding nearly impossible.
- Cheap and ubiquitous access to mass publication and surveillance platforms will render privacy obsolete - but it will also do so for secrecy - meaning that criminal organizations, commercial operations, and governmental institutions will find it increasingly hard to keep their activities secret. This will make corruption unsustainable.
- All of the above will eventually eliminate the need for money. Demand for goods and services will be trackedthrough their life-cycles by artificial intelligence and no one will have to do without the basic necessities of life, which will greatly reduce the impetus for corrupt actions. Creativity and innovation will become the new hallmark of societal status.
