This is absolutely fascinating! I love your ideas my dude. Some of this, from what I can tell, is leaning a bit socialistic, which there is nothing inherently wrong with. Is this intentional? or could I be misinterpreting your message?
Also, this society seems exclusively focused on maximizing productivity and profit. I may, again, be misinterpreting but if I am not and this is the case, what would you do (if you would do anything), to make sure people have the opportunity to pursue hobbies or professions in the arts and humanities.
Personal political philosophy aside, I think appearing socialistic might be unavoidable given the prompt.
Maximizing productivity and each person’s earning potential comes to mind as the most effective way to guarantee leisure time and career mobility so every citizen can engage in artistic and humanities hobbies and careers. In such a system by age 40 a person could have degrees and training in both a STEM/business field and an arts/humanities field, either being an artist through their 20s before having the option to retrain into an engineer in their 30s or the other way around.
With tax revenue boosted by a generation of professionals, grants to support public arts endeavors would eventually help start up those careers. Murals on buildings, sculptures and statues, architectural marvels in cities or beautiful buildings at rural meeting places, perhaps even a project similar to the Дворец культуры undertaking from the Soviet era.
The final state of things I’d imagine working towards would be a country more full of opportunity, less full of suffering, maximized for each person’s professional fulfillment and comfort. Each person would be able to see over the course of their lifetime a renewal of their city or town to a more beautiful and inviting space.

Thank you! :)

I love this. Thank you for clearing up some of my confusion.
