Fabulous visioning Andy. Not only do I like this for all the emotive allure of equity, pace, inclusion, creativity and meaningful work, it doesn't even sound outlandish and utopian. Just the way it needs to be and should be.
Kevin Kelly's "The Inevitables" described a state of protopia - not dystopia or utopia but more an incremental state of improvement. That's what is possible in this vision.
Greed and power are the real enemies in our current state of being in all walks of life. Until we can truly quell the thirst for wealth and power, and instead focus on flourishing and collective gains, we have an uphill climb. But a vision like this is much more compelling than "mostly the same but with AI".
Bravo. And as Charles Eisenstein titled his 2013 book "The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible".
I'm gunning for this with all I've got. So thank you for dreaming this way.
Thanks so much Perry! There’s a lot of fear in society about our future, and I think much comes from anxiety about our longer-term financial security. Utopia’s have brought unwanted ideology, disappointment and worse. I like the idea of moving incrementally towards a preferable future, but we need some kind of vision. As Carlota Perez explains in the study of 5 Tech revolutions in last 250 years, a golden age is not inevitable – we need a vision, new ideas, new policies. I would rather kick-off some good discussions than be right!
Thanks for the books references and keep on building!
Love it ! Thank you !
