This is a short paragraph from Jacque about the possible future of humanity in a society where our living conditions, our environment are extremely different…

The greatest lesson we might learn could be that human beings free of debt, insecurity, and fear become much more amiable.

No one will be out to sell anyone anything or to deprive another of possessions or money. In a resource-based economy, the basis for unhealthy human aggression will be outgrown. People will no longer be burdened by the nagging concerns that consume so much of our attention, such as mortgages, health care costs, fire insurance, economic recession, the loss of jobs, recession, depression, and taxes.

With the elimination of these burdens and the removal of the conditions that create feelings of envy, greed, and competition, our lives would be far more meaningful. For the first time we may begin to know what it means to be human.

As we enhance the lives of others, protect our environment, and work toward abundance, all our lives can become richer and more secure. If these values were put into practice, it would enable all of us to achieve a much higher standard of living within a relatively short period of time; a standard of living that would be continuously improved.

People would be free to pursue whatever constructive endeavor they chose without the economic pressures, restraints, and taxation that are inherent in the monetary system. By constructive endeavor, we mean anything that enhances the lives of the individual and others.

When education and resources are available to all without a price tag, there will be no limit to human potential. With these major alterations, people would eventually live longer, more meaningful and healthier lives. The measure of success would be the fulfillment of one’s individual pursuits rather than the acquisition of wealth, property, and power.

This is an excerpt from Designing The Future (that you can download by entering your email address on the right of screen) that discusses this question…

From early civilizations to the present day, most humans have had to work to earn a living. Most of our attitudes about work may be a carry-over from these much earlier times. In the past, it was necessary for people to fetch water and carry it to their dwelling places. They gathered wood to prepare fires for heating and cooking and fuel to burn in their lamps. It would have been very difficult for them to imagine a time when water would rush forth in their own home with the turn of a handle; to press a button for instant light would have seemed to be within the realm of
magic. People of ancient times probably wondered what they would do with their time if they did not have to engage in the burdensome tasks that were so necessary to sustain their lives.

The aim of this new social design is to encourage a new incentive system, one that is no longer directed toward the shallow and self-centered goals of wealth, property, and power. These new incentives encourage people toward self-fulfillment and creativity, the elimination of scarcity, the protection of the environment, and most of all concern for fellow human beings. People would have the means and the time for intellectual and spiritual growth, and the time to realize what it really means to be human in a caring society. Rather than evolving into an age of leisure, truly
intelligent and committed people would find very little “free” time, even without having to “work” for a living.

There is always need for better more efficient ways of doing things. People will want to participate in the society, seeing how it directly benefits their way of life and others, as things are constantly being updated and changed. There are no Utopias. The very notion of “Utopia” is static. The survival of any social system ultimately depends upon its ability to allow for change to improve society as a whole. However, today, most people are not prepared for changes
in society either emotionally or intellectually.

New horizons open up for people who dared not even imagine these possibilities in the past due to lack of money or time. It is painful to even imagine a life of limitless possibilities for those who have limited purchasing power.
