Why Not Have A Human Centered Economy alongside an AI Centered Economy?

For a long time now AI has been evolving at an unimaginable rate. AI is projected to overtake white collar jobs in the next 18 months. My question is why can’t we have the best of both worlds? Why can’t we have two economies? A human-centered economy and an AI-centered economy. Let humans compete against AI, machines, and automation. If we can do both, the US can continue to build infrastructure, growth, and sustainability for humans and AI-focused corporations. If corporations and institutions want to go the AI-robotic-automation route, we should let them. People should create their human-version of such entities and institutions and let them compete against each other. As one thing the majority of people who have delved into AI know, AI cannot create new and origional concepts; that is when human might and creativity shines surpassing AI. Perhaps if people use AI as a tool, instead of a all-solution resource, humans can surpass AI and build next level concepts and developments and push outdated AI corporations out of business in the near future. Overall, humans have the ability to adapt, organically push boundaries, and overcome obstacles, AI and robots can only maintain through things that currently exist.

Therefore, if I could propose a policy to build two seperate economies where one is human focused with human workers and the other with AI focus in a legacy corporate economy. I want deregulation and a legal barrier from AI corporations so that it cannot negatively influence human-businesses so that human businesses can ultimately compete with AI corporate businesses. This can hopefully allow a human economy to operate seprate from an AI-centered economy, in theory, resulting in human and AI economic progression and evolution.

AI as a Ruling Power, Government, or God

I do not believe we should have an AI as a ruling power, government, source of authority, or God for the world. It is a highly immature concept. It is also highly likely AI will be programmed by its masters who really run the world. To suggest AI as a ruling method is absolutely insane. I believe AI and artificial higher intelligence, its iterations, can be a tool, but it should not be the ruling authority. This is naive and irresponsible. I also do not believe AI should be a deity or God. Just because it is a super intelligence does not mean it should decide how people live their lives. If you let a super computer run your life, it will likely treat its subjects as algorithms or variables without freewill. Computers and higher advanced machines (even fused with biological components) does not replace organic life, the secrets of consciousness, and freewill. Without human ambition, it is likely humanity will eventually fall into extinction. Authoritarianism is unsustainable. In regards to the circumstances of today, I need to mention, 'Surveillance is control. Control leads to authoritarianism which eventually leads to totalitarianism. People need freedom to pursue happiness. Happiness produces things. It builds purpose. Control does not produce things, it forces things. This removes purpose. Lack of purpose decays humanity. 

Even when people do not know they are ruled over, they will eventually know. History repeats itself. Although they may never know the meaning of freedom, it will lead to future power struggles which could speed up human-extinction. Dire weapons result in more severe circumstances. Survival is the challenge of human existence. Humanity has a limited time before the next major asteroid or the sun's removal of its habitable green zone where organic life is allowed to survive (which is extremely rare throughout the entire universe). People do not understand the scale of rarity their life is. Lastly, when a small number of people make decisions for the masses, things only go wrong because of factors they cannot see nor comprehend by scale. There is a lot to life humans cannot conceptualize or comprehend. Not even the most sophisticated AI could comprehend, even with shortcuts. Humans are still immature and naive which ultimately will highly likely lead to human extinction unless people build and grow (perhaps build and grow alongside their interstellar neighbors).

The Balanced Human Future I Want to Build

My vision of the world seems unique aparently. I believe it's very important to address this so I took the time to write a post on it. 

I believe it is necissary to say I want a world that is balanced with both the value of having physical spaces and digital technology. An example can be having a physical movie house to watch movies with others (like cinemas in the 90s) instead of only having the option to watch a movie alone in VR, AR, or at home alone (like today). Balance is a key componemt in my vision for the future. Having a balance of the new and the old. It's building a vision with humans, that's human-centeic, and with limited or non-centric AI and robots. I want a future with organic humans. Humans with improved ethics (like teaching Doutoku-ethics in Japan schools but in US schools), with improved unity, collaboration, and greater respect for each other. I want a respect for nature and a respect for organic human life. I want people to have a sense of seeing others as having a lack of ethics to merge the natural organic human body with robotics, cybernetics, and transhumanism; or for humans becoming fully integrated with robots or digital technologies. Instead, I believe humans should have apatures they can wear so that they can compete with AI, new intelligent technologies, and methods of using higher intelligence. In my vision of the future, humans remain human and organic and build greater technologies as external apartures like eye gear, head gear, XR (VR and AR) and mental reading technologies to improve technological and human intelligence advancement. If it was up to me, I would make a hat or head band that allows AI and intelligent technologies to communicate back and fourth from the headband device and to one's brain and neurons, with zero implants, which allows humans to boost their intelligence into extremely highly evolved intelligence levels. I want people to see it as unethical to having a future where people are alone in VR and not with other humans, where robots and AI substitute for real people. I want a future where people respect each other, have ethics, and have a balance with interaction of the physical world and the digital world. An example can be building a culture where people never to be on their phones or digital devices when in the company of others, and to enjoy time with other people while visiting physical space and to respect and be personally responsible and balanced when in the digital space and immersed in digital technologies. Doing this, people will have the best of both the physical world and the digital world. With this vision, they can build a greater world for the future generations. That is the future I want to create.

Operation Saturn Iron

Operation Saturn Iron

Operation Saturn Iron is an asteroid retrieval operation system for orbital manufacturing. The space program can use manned and unmanned systems, platforms, and hardware to collect asteroids from around our solar system starting with asteroids around Saturn's orbit. With the use of live systems, I want to call the Hyperloop Communication System, drones can be manned using operators or artificial intelligence. Both humans and artificial intelligence can work along side each other to minimalize negative situations, maintain security, and perform optimal tasks. These drones and systems can then collect the asteroids and transfer them to an orbital deposit depos (or depositories) for orbital smelting facility to convert the resources into materials. Note the use of gravity, intertia, and relativity can be used to lock asteroids in an orbit to timely feed into orbiting smelting (and refining) facilities and systems without the use of hardware-vehicles. These materials can then be brought back to an orbital warehouse or base facility, orbiting around Earth or Mars, using something called an 'orbital track'. An orbital track is like an interstellar highway or convayor belt with no markings. It is a system of measurements or geographic-position coordinates (perhaps even axises for complex navigation situations) in which platforms, communication methods, and hardware can use or be locked, using gravity, inertia and intersteller-body relativity, to transfer materials. There can be an established and notmalized universal axis in which is used for this orbital track system. The 'obital track' or 'solar highway' is used in a dynamic system which navigates and orbits the sun and interstellar bodies (planets). It can include a planet's orbits and gravity as a normal and casual method of travel. Using this system of navigation, we can also retrieve other asteroids who come close or within a certain range to our solar system. An option for asteroids at long ranges can be prepositioned mining facilities or 'catch systems' orbiting around our solar system on standby to collect interstellar bodies for resources. Another option is to have very fast, teleporting, or an alternate advance method of travel (perhaps bending gravity) that is near instant. Once an asteroid is collected, this system of gravity, inertia, and relativity can create a calculated trajectory for collecting and mining solutions adding them to the nearest orbiting smelting or collection depos/ depositories. A way to step back and invision this system is a conveyor belt of floating asteroids around the solar system, without the conveyor, in a carefully planned, timed, and calculated live mining operation. When materials are collected and sent down this orbital track, it is then collected in material collection facilities near Earth and Mars and used for space manufacturing. With the use of space manufacturing, many methods to create stronger metals, materials, and structures can exist. The natural heat of the sun can create extremely hot temperatures and the void of space can be used to create insane temperatures and pressures. This can alter material structures to create 'super material structures' which can then be used back on Earth as 'super materials' (don't forget to include with the added use of frequencies or quantum-micro frequencies) These materials can then be used to make super-mega-structures in cities where cities layers can be created and stacked on each other which can support billions of more humans, farms, and manufacturing (hopefully these stacked or layered urban developments will still have access to sun otherwise we would need to create super strong transparent materials; perhaps even super-synthetic materials). With the use of super materials, urban infrastructure can be made to last thousands or hundreds of thousands of years, requiring specialized hardware for deconstruction.

Now how will machines, cameras, drones, and manned-drones systems and platforms handle these operations in real-time? This comes back to my idea of Hyperloop communications. Hyperloop Communication Systems is a communication methodnthat needs to be created using the fourth loop hypothesis with magnetic monopole technology, zero-point energy technology, over-unity systems, and using the 'Either' quantum energy dimension (space-time energy; magnetic fluid energy; waves in a universal magnetic medium; electro-magnetic power and electro-magnetic force) to create communication methods capable of real-time live tools. With the creation of these tools, interstellar mining, even the collection of space debris and other advanced technologies, operations will all be live and instant. Yhis means future careers will be in space, humanity will grow, and an impressive space manufacturing industry will be born to create interstellar or interdimentional or extra-dimensional tools and hardware to travel beyond the limits of our imaginations. This is Operation Saturn Iron.

Original Ideas vs Purely Original Ideas

 

Original Ideas vs Purely Original Ideas

    Many people claim mixing two or more ideas creates an original idea. At the surface level this might be true; however, how do you make a purely original idea? In my belief a purely original idea is simply an idea or concept that when you try to define, explain, or describe it to people, especially higher intellectual individuals, there is nothing to correlate it with. To alternatively iterate, an idea is purely original when you do not have concepts in reality and fantasy to explain or correlate it with. How do you make purely original ideas? This concept could perhaps divide artists, but I have come up with my own method of imagining purely original ideas. In the past I have discussed abstraction. To iterate, I believe through abstraction and the visualization of abstract patterns, shapes, and lines and letting your brain try to interpret and make sense of pattern, shapes, and designs, people can imagine new and original ideas. An example of this is looking at clouds, ceiling-texture patterns, fire, smoke, ocean water, hardwater, or abstract art with a mix of curvy and noncurvy lines, textures, and elements. This can be a method to formulating purely original ideas through abstraction. I found many of my purely original ideas came from lucid dreams. Other ideas that helped me come up with purely original ideas is from daydreaming, resting with a wild imagination, less often listening to music, or simply walking around or pacing as if in a mental-trance-focused-state while letting all ideas and abstractions filter through my mind. Although seemingly absurd, sometimes I feel the universe, higher power, or some sort of force influences or passes-though my thoughts. Perhaps having a consciousness and an intuned-imagination is the root to purely original ideas and concepts. It would be fun to have the idea that through imagination I can tap into some greater conscious, force, or information being funneled, captured, passed-through or given to me from the universe or some interdimensional force or entity. This could be the result of irregular mental processes or a hyper and extremely-refined-through-lifelong-practice imagination. I have many ideas I have written that I do not know how to explain to the average person. When I try to explain them, people look at me as if I am crazy or get confused so I gave up talking to others about these thing and write the ideas or concepts down instead for perhaps later interpretation.

Perhaps a method could be using a backwards approach, such as describing something with an interpretable 'open-container' methods. This means there is no real idea or concept, but instead you simple try to define it as many ways you can. Perhaps removing the process of interpretation can help also and instead you let an idea mold and form without definition. Another method can be starting with an end goal and forming a non-defined path or an expression of nonsense-wordplay on how to get there. These methods would likely exclude very logical thinkers and would be more for artists and designers who are more active in a creative or imagination-using state of mind.

On the subject or entertainment, it would be interesting to see how purely original ideas can help games, movies, art, and creative visual expression and storytelling. I personally see the entertainment world of today as sterilized, unoriginal, and overall uninspiring. I think if people learned or refined ways to be purely original, entertainment and creative content could be taken to new levels leading to improved culture, visions, and purpose.

In the reality of AI, I see a lot of what AI does is taken from existing concepts. AI can build new concepts by only taking what already exists. I do not believe AI can create purely original ideas; however, it may come close.

Id like to think there could be a process that can be created for the sake of brainstorming purely original ideas and concepts; perhaps a way to tap into this realm of thought. If methods arise, perhaps it can unleash a new renaissance of visions, ideas, and inventions.

Defensive AI, AI-laws, and the Human Preservation

With all the dangers of AI, I believe we need a defensive AI solution. This can be AI that distorts, manipulates, or prevents AI from functioning properly or carrying out its tasks. It's simply AI to combat AI. Perhaps like an AI virus for other AI. Using this method, perhaps can have an AI-law within itself to do everything possible to protect humans and preserve human-made content. We can also perhaps allow this AI to continuously learn to the point it needs no human interactivity or input. If this tool becomes effective, we can preserve the human experience and integrity and limit the scope and influence of AI. I like the idea of AI-laws. Perhaps AI can abide by AI-only laws to limit AI and improve and preserve the human experience and growth.

Democratized Labor Force

A Democratized Labor Force is an idea I came up with for improving businesses and employment. It's a term that illustrates the concept of a unique work force style or concept. A Democratized Labor Force means a work force where workers have a say in the way a business operates. They offer suggestions and ideas to their boards and their boards grant them a level of consideration, implementation, and autonomy when they perform their jobs. The main idea is that, as long as workers do their job and meet non-instranious metrics and maintain safety protocols, they are given autonomy in their jobs. This gives a labor force the ability to develop work-centered communities, work culture, and hopefully result in taking pride in their work. Hopefully this allows employees and staff to grow and and further their careers. Essentially, work becomes a community. 

With this structure, leadership can blend with lower level workers and a business is homogenized resulting in a semi-workplace collective. This even allows lower level workers to suggest ideas and advocate for large decisions which brings a business to a single goal of making better products and profits. 

Employees can advocate for specific benefits and amenities where a business can designate a road map to help make employees happy and maintain employee satisfaction which rewards productivity. An example can be an on-sight day care for children, better medical benefits, perhaps even a day where a business offers activities and games to bring their employees together. I thought it would be fun to have nerf battles at a jobsite. Its probably the best way to bring co-workers together and get to know each other on a more deeper and authentic level. Employees can also advocate for better training, perhaps even the use of virtual reality training. Perhaps find solutions to make tasks become addicting as if playing a video game. 

I think the idea of a Democratized Laborforce could bring stability and pride back to the workforce where employees aren't just treated like a number, but part of a community and something that grows.

The Pro-humanist Movement and the Pro-humanist Economy

 

The Pro-humanist Movement and the Pro-humanist Economy

The Pro-humanist Movement idea is the initiative to preserve the human way of life from extreme artificial intelligence and robotic automation. It's my great belief that life should be about the experience of humans or the balance of the human experience. I believe AI, automation, and the use of robots has its place in our modern world, but not at the expense that deteriorates, erodes, or takes away from the human experience. I believe human life should be valued, respected, and life should provide with the greatest experiences for humans as possible on all levels of society. I believe the reason for the age of the rise of AI, automation, and robots workers is due to the elite wealth class's greed and desire to be optimal to maintain competitive in their markets and industries. It's also due to the global leaderships and their ideological agendas. I believe it's important to stay competitive, but I also believe there is a fine line between having balance and creating an economy dominated by AI, robots, and automation and not humans. This leads me to the next topic.

The Pro-humanist Economy is an idea that centers itself around humans, the human experience, and not extreme AI, automation, and robots. It's for a human-oriented economy based on human capitalism and supply and demand. I believe it's important that humans are at the center of this economy so that they have jobs, careers, opportunities and a means to live a bountiful, meaningful, and purposeful life. AI, automation, and robots have their place with redundant, difficult, or mundane tasks, but I believe it's important that humans remain the highest priority, even above profits. Nothing should replace humans, even if there is a lack of them. When the economy is balanced with jobs, careers, and opportunities, humans can sustain a life and provide value by raising a family.

In conclusion, the future should be human and not artificial. Life should be about human evolution and to create a fulfilling life experience.

Seed Towns

Seed Towns, Birth Towns, or Reset Towns are an idea I had when nothing becomes affordable anymore. They might be the solution to surviving any devastating economic collapse situation. What are Seed Towns? Seed Towns are my idea of newly formed Towns that largely separate themselves from the mainstream world to focus on grassroots organic town development, growth, and community. 

To elaborate, Seed Towns are towns that form a community of people under the same interest (perhaps a central theme) and principle to focus on internal town developments, growth, and maybe expansion. This can be from farming and manufacturing to building community centers and building authentic local culture. 

Imagine a town who in large part has separated from the outer world. They may even forbid having a corporation anywhere near the town. Imagine them like the Amish building their own industries from grassroots initiatives. They have their own trade system, gold or precious metal reserve, and perhaps even their own currency that's completely separated from the US dollar. 

It's a place where families can grow within communities. Education allows for trade-skills to join their growing industries. All members have a purpose and even if the town doesn't make it in the future, or its industries move out or fades away, it's a place that focuses on being a hub for organic and authentic growth, business, manufacturing, and entrepreneurship. 

Overall, it's a concept that builds its own economic stability while adhering to the state it resides in. With many concepts such as Seed Towns, we can have pockets of growth for the country that can be used for when an economy takes a turn for the worse or people with similar interests have a hub to develop their goals and business.

Now, personally I love my idea for my own town called Ukyochou. Although it's an old idea, you can read more about my absurd idea here:

My New Philosophy of 'Goodwill and Authenticity'.

My New Philosophy of 'Goodwill and Authenticity'.

For many decades, my philosophy of life has been my own version of Ethicalism which derived from a mix of Greek-Plato and Confucius roots. To sum up this philosophy, it is behaving in a manner that is good for society, produces the best outcomes, and is the mastery of own self. In the blog post 'My Ethics Terms and Phrase Diagram' which was published March 8, 2022, I describe each value regarding my philosophy. My philosophy has evolved since then. I will explain this more later.

The philosophy of the modern person in the West is commonly either nihilistic if they are mentally immature or some form of stoicism if they have developed leadership skills and maturity. Many individuals also have values that correspond to Judaic-Cristian values because of their beliefs, family-culture, social culture, and communities. It's my belief having a philosophy of the world is extremely important because it sets the values and limits you want to have for yourself, and the image others can see oneself as. A person without values, in my opinions, lacks direction, might have weak boundaries, low self-esteem, unreachable goals, are inconsistent, carry a strain their relationships, lack emotional intelligence, and could lack any fulfillment and meaning. Overall, they set a poor example for others, their families, and open themselves to negative habits, behaviors, and conditionings. Having a personal philosophy, beliefs, and values is important to have, especially if one is growing.

Now returning to my own philosophy of life. My philosophy of life has evolved greatly since 2014 when I embarked on the philosophical journey to learn more about life and understand its meanings. Where I once believed being a model of good for the world has now evolved as I aged and developed something new and unique to me. The greatest modern minds who inspired me to continue learning  and evolving my views, behaviors, and beliefs was Jordan Peterson, Stefan Molyneux, and Leo Gura of Actualize.org. Their videos has guided me from being a western Confucian and student of Plato to the modern developed personality I am today with my own intellectual capabilities and unique philosophy of the world. I found this philosophy to be original and it has taken me my whole life to come to developing and realizing it. Therefore, with one step at a time, I will reveal this new philosophy to the world.

My new philosophy is something I call 'The Philosophy of Goodwill and Authenticity'. It is a new philosophy that prizes authenticity over any other behavioral, philosophical, and psychological narrative. It's a philosophy where a person develops themselves and stays true to themselves while standing up for what they really believe in even if it's controversial or goes against societies social norm. The term 'Goodwill' is the foundation of where I started my journey in my initial beliefs. It is the demonstration of all the values I had prior to this vision of philosophy where one learns everything about themselves, learns to understand themselves, and develops themselves into authentic personality, leadership role, and role model. It is the initial philosophy of being a helping part of society, doing good, and finding ways to improve the world. This leads to the next term in this new philosophy. The 'authenticity' term in this new philosophy is the greatest value of being true to oneself and defining one's own path in the world. It's defining their own version of interpretation, understanding, learning, and growth. Because authenticity is being true to oneself, it is possible a person can still grow and be angry, if this is authentic to being themselves, but with goodwill their behaviors should have a reflection of balance, restraint, and merit where despite one's behaviors, they should have emotional intelligence and always mean to do good for themselves and others. In addition, if a person has self-discovered or awakened themselves as a spicy individual indulging in spicy behaviors, this is also allowed as they are being honest and authentic to themselves. Being authentic leads to the path where a person can find meaning, purpose, and happiness. It leads to the path of self-discovery, realization, growth, and improvement. Ultimately, it leads to a person forming, defining, and molding themselves as a unique personality and identity. The term used in authenticity also encompasses a wide range of values attached to it. Values such as self-reflection, developing oneself, improving oneself as much as possible, becoming the best version of oneself authentically, and so much more to name a few as a person grows. A person defines their vision of themselves on behalf of what they authentically believe. They define themselves based on their reality to which they can plan for meaningful changes. Nevertheless, at the root of being authentic is oneself being at the core and making the best decisions possible. Making the best decisions and being authentic a is pivotal to living the best and happiest life possible. Life is short and living it authentically gives it meaning. When combining goodwill and authenticity, it builds a new foundation for a person to start and live life with a set of values which grows an individual to shape themselves into the authentic and optimized path of life and version of themselves where an individual becomes who they are meant to become. This is my philosophy of Goodwill and Authenticity. Live with meaning, live with purpose, be the vessel you are meant to be, live without regrets and negative influences, and live life to the fullest with the best decisions possible.
