If you basically mean that machines should help us overcome scarcity, and then everyone should be able to focus on games, friendship, learning, et cetera… sure, why not?
But first we need to make sure the machines won’t kill us all when they get smarter than us and start controlling the wold. (Because if they do, it doesn’t matter how our corporations and governments were set up.)
However, capitalism, as it stands, obstructs the realization of this vision.
So far, the attempts to replace capitalism often did even worse.
One problem—scarcity. Usually made worse by eliminating capitalism.
Second problem—humans. Psychopaths compete for power, in both capitalism and socialism. We need to solve this. Democracy alone is not a solution; psychopaths are quite successful at getting elected, or getting their people elected.
Is it time to rethink the way corporations and governing systems operate?
I believe people are thinking about this all the time, but do you have a specific proposal that wasn’t widely considered yet?
What do you mean by “hunger for life”?
What do you mean by “capitalism”?
