The Perfect World
Let us regain the lost and forgotten dignity of man.
In this world you have to pay for every basic right, except the right to produce
offspring.
The right to food and shelter.
The right to fairness and justice.
The right to education and healthcare.
You have to pay for all these basic, inalienable rights.
But you do not have to pay for the right to reproduce.
Is food, shelter, fairness, justice, education or healthcare worth more than the
life of a human being?
Must we not pay for a human being when we pay for everything else?
Must we not require by law, a payment for bringing a new human into the world?
This is the salvation of humanity. There is no other way for humanity to be
truly saved from suffering or total extinction. Basic financial capability must
be a legal requirement to become a parent in every country. For the elimination
of inequalities, for the abolition of crime, for the sustainability of progress
and for the protection of the environment, there is no other solution.
God seems to think that suffering has a purpose. Well, I don’t. No one has to
suffer. Suffering is not needed anymore. Suffering is dispensable. Suffering can
end now. We can live within our means so that we don’t have to fight with one
another for getting what we need and we can use technology to do the tough work
that absolutely cannot be avoided.
In the perfect world, everyone will be born into households that take care of
food, shelter and education up to an age (ideally 25 yrs) when the person
becomes useful to society and has the rest of his or her livelihood secured.
People will be freer to choose the type of work they desire, because there is no
excess of manpower in any field because of a controlled population. Controlled
in numbers and secured in living standards.
Crime will be effectively contained and will be minimal because there is far
less need to commit crime. People will be able to both avoid situations where
they are forced to commit a crime and be able to afford better security for
themselves so as to prevent a successful crime. People will be more interested
in enjoying their life rather than being driven to amass money, since the basic
necessities of life will be secured by law. Also, existing laws would be better
enforced since the government will have enough resources to do so due to a
self-sustaining population.
Environmental safety standards will be upheld and maintained because such
standards have become affordable and the great overload of demand on natural
resources has vanished and been replaced instead by a state of excess natural
resources and time, giving nature the precious time it needs to repair,
regenerate and replace used and depleted resources.
Child labor or abuse will be better contained by the laws securing children and
preventing abuse being effectively enforced. The laws would be better enforced
because of the transparency that would be the result of the child’s better
access to education, the media and government agencies who will, in turn be
better equipped to both intervene and to take action.
The government will be equipped to enforce laws protecting the people who are
weak or underprivileged in any manner because a poor people means a poor,
cash-starved, resource-stripped, debt-ridden government, while a rich or
prosperous people means a prosperous, well-equipped government with resources to
spare. This government will find itself capable enough to protect your rights.
We will not be left helpless when we are cheated. We won’t be harassed because
the simple penalty for harassment, however small, will be imposed on the
offender through law by a capable and effective government which can spare the
necessary resources and it will be seen to it that he or she pays the price for
harassing you in any manner.
Taxes could be eliminated as the government prospers with the people. Any and
all forms of government control and regulation could be scrapped gradually as
the need for it disappears. That government is best which governs least. We
finally have that government which governs the least.
Machines or robots could be made to perform manual labor that’s now being done
by humans since such technology would become more affordable to more people and
humans would not be in a position where heavy labor is the only option available
to earn a living. There will be a dearth of manpower since humans will only work
to obtain extra luxuries, comforts or conveniences because law would secure his
basic survival from birth to death before his birth. He would not need to work
to survive. Hence, robots and machines would have to be developed to do
painstaking, injurious or monotonous work that humans grumblingly do today.
Pollution of all kinds will be dramatically minimized, as most people would be
affluent enough to switch to non-polluting lifestyles. Non-polluting vehicles,
non-polluting kitchens, solar/wind/hydroelectric energy, efficient waste
disposal, recycling of waste material, etc. which are affordable in the
developed countries today, could become the norm throughout the world if all
people are affluent enough to sustain such a lifestyle. People will live longer
because they can afford healthier lifestyles and quality healthcare. Noise
pollution would be reduced to a minimum because people would be more educated
about it and prosperous enough to substitute the causes of it
In the perfect world, there would be joy and pleasure everywhere and in
everyone’s life. Technology will simplify life and please all people at all
times. There will be contentment because people will not have to work for
survival. People will only work to get luxuries or technologies that are beyond
simple survival. Survival will not be threatened by any factor. Survival will be
guaranteed and no one will fear that he or she may starve or die of thirst
tomorrow due to a lack of money.
Animals will be protected because the government will be able to afford
enforcement of animal protection laws since resources and money have been freed
up for that purpose. Besides that, a self-sustaining human population would not
have the pressing need to encroach upon or destroy animal habitat or wildlife.
When everyone is born into a reasonable level of financial capability, the value
of the human being in general will rise. On an average, more money will be spent
on a human being in all matters. The life, desires, feelings, thoughts and
wishes of all humans will be more easily recognized and fulfilled. Everyone will
finally have the freedom and security required to live and act in tune with
their natural selves. Self-expression would be more aptly rewarded and virtues
would be appropriately honored.
All forms of escapism from life harmful to health and well-being would gradually
cease to exist, as people would be more contented with life. Drinking, smoking,
drugs, etc. as forms of addiction would end. People will still be involved in
such lifestyles, but not to the point that it ruins their health or finances.
More rewarding pastimes will be dearer and intrinsic to the people. Habits
leading to addiction would be felt to be unnecessary as less injurious past
times would be the learned natural inclination and favored activity of the
people.
Religious, political or ideological fanaticism harmful to oneself or others
would fade into oblivion as the opportunities to enjoy life will be more
available and in plenty. People will find themselves recognized and respected
without having to be a fanatic about anything. Inequality and violence that spur
a person towards fanaticism would be vastly reduced. Hence, all fanatical
institutions would become less powerful and therefore less dangerous to society.
The economy will not suffer due to stagnation of population growth because
purchasing power previously distributed unevenly among many will be concentrated
more evenly in the hands of a few. Therefore, lower average individual
purchasing power will be replaced by higher average individual purchasing power,
while the national purchasing power remains the same.
When manpower is scarce, machinery will have to replace manpower, which will
further reduce the cost of production, while improving the quality of it. If
people do not work if not paid well enough, we might think that the cost of
necessities will rise, but in fact, the production of basic necessities was
among the first of industrial processes to be mechanized and therefore is
already quite well-mechanized today, making human labor quite dispensable and
comparatively expensive. Hence, continuing to use human labor to produce the
basic necessities of life will only make the basic necessities of life more
expensive. Using the technological advancements instead, would make the
necessities of life cheaper. So, we do not have to worry that inflation will
make useless the money deposit made by the parents to secure the basic
necessities of the child’s entire lifespan. In depositing the money and securing
the basic life-necessities of their children, the people of the world have made
manual labor expensive and unavailable, hence making a profitable shift to
mechanization unhindered and effortless.
Once all people do not have to work for a living, only those who wish to become
a parent or acquire a luxury will work. But who will provide such intermittent
employment? The existing industrial machinery and business environment would not
go away in a single day. They will continue to exist, but be far more
mechanized, causing human intervention to be minimal. Therefore, a shortage of
human labor would aid the economy through mechanization and consequent improved
standards of production. People who want to amass money for luxuries or other
purposes will still be in plenty and they will continue the business and economy
of today. They will find ingenious ways to amass money and enhance the economy,
just as they do today. The only change that will have happened is that people no
longer work to secure the basic necessities of life; they will continue to work
for everything else they desire, just as we do today. The chief difference is:
they work because they want to work, not because they are forced to secure their
livelihood.
The End of Work
The End of Superficiality
The End of Racism
