Good beginning plan Amaterasu.
Count me in.
My main concern at the moment is crime.
May I suggest we go back to the old days of public stocks and public hangings.
Yes, I cringe at the thought also.
I do realize this is a beginning project and will take planning to get all the loose ends worked out.
Keep up the good thinking my friend.
S&F

Great thread,Amaterasu! S&F as always! I also support this new movement it's time to abandon both parties and to attempt to change this consumer culture.

Oh gee! I don't know! The 1st Ascended Queen Human of Eridu perhaps?

That's pretty much what the original version of the U.S. Constitution stated.
That's why the rest of the world has been putting so much effort into destroying it.
Can't have those pesky free people around mucking things up,can we?.
Too bad most don't even know what freedom is anymore.
Mission accomplished.
Old World Order.

and
Has there ever been a society that had zero crime?
Yes we are born with equal oppertunity but not all are born without equal minds without blemish.
Can we expect everyone to be loving and without malice? I think not.
The rules have been set. They must be enforced.
If not, we will have to deal with the problem in a way much
better than we do now.
Just trying to cover all points that could come up.

Nice thoughts. Though the cynic in me would state that you need to try this about 100 years from now. As a people, we are just 3 hot meals and the use of electricity, away from clubbing each other over the head just because "they" have something "others" want.
You can't build a new building on the structure of an old one. You need to start on even ground. And to raze this curent "structure" would mean a global catastrophy.
We are just too primitive to attain such lofty goals.
Just my humble opinion.
But good luck!

Maybe the earth is getting ready to do just that. I just wish that --only--- highly empathetic people would survive it, instead of the brutal violent hate mongering predjudice domineering conquering greedy perverted psychopaths who seem to survive those things unscathed every time.

Sure, we will have to build devices - but since money is merely the representation of energy spent - with infinite energy, money becomes effectively infinite, and infinite money has no social application. Money will become more trouble than it's worth to mess with.
I recommend you look into a book called A Paradise Built in Hell by Rebecca Solnit. In it the true, money-free nature of Human behavior is brought to the fore. Turns out that we are generally only nasty MFers when there is profit to be made.
And just because we compete does NOT mean we must compete for profit. We can and often do compete merely for the status. As we are tribal, in the view of the Ethical Planetarian, we will become "tribes" of common interest, "tribes" of problem-solvers, and so on.
And frankly, no. One sociopath will cause a local problem and will be dealt with. Planetarily, one sociopath is statistically non-exietent. (Sociopathy will diminish radically in this system, since those who love children will care for any who need care - without money constraints, this becomes an easy thing to offer our children.
Thank you for your input.edit on 1/24/2011 by Amaterasu because: to add

But people then, would create their own money. ie; I have more ears of corn, I have more rocks, more (fill in the blank) than others. Then other people would covet those (blank) and try to steal (blank). People would then trade (blank) for even more food, status, sex, power. . . . because we are ego-driven.
Don't think that I'm insulting your aspirations. I'm not.
I just don't have the faith in the human race that you do.

Not hidden very well, if you have personal knowledge of it. I want to see some evidence. How does this free energy work? where does it come from? How is hte field of physics going to answer this discover which, for all practical purposes, has just flipped every single field of science onto its head?
Pony up!
Sure, we will have to build devices - but since money is merely the representation of energy spent - with infinite energy, money becomes effectively infinite, and infinite money has no social application. Money will become more trouble than it's worth to mess with.
So we'll be using free energy to get free energy. Uh, that's a pretty circular way of thinking, there. And even without money, there's raw materials to be considered. Space. Infrastructure. You can have all the free energy you can dream up, but you're still going to need some method of getting it to the consumer.
I recommend you look into a book called A Paradise Built in Hell by Rebecca Solnit. In it the true, money-free nature of Human behavior is brought to the fore. Turns out that we are generally only nasty MFers when there is profit to be made.
I've read it, and similar books such as "The Ends of the Earth" by Robert Kaplan. What you - and Mrs. Solnit miss - is that profit is not restricted to money. Yes, people throw together after a disaster. Why? Because cooperation is profitable. At other times, competition is profitable. The idea of profit is simply gaining the most advantage from the least effort. Sometimes you have narrow profits, other times you have wide profits. Take away money, and people will just replace it with chickens, cheese wheels, reputations, land, sex, or dance instruction, whatever comes to mind.
And just because we compete does NOT mean we must compete for profit. We can and often do compete merely for the status. As we are tribal, in the view of the Ethical Planetarian, we will become "tribes" of common interest, "tribes" of problem-solvers, and so on.
And status is a form of profit, to the person seeking it.
And I think you're missing my point in pointing out the tribal nature of people. Tribes tend to not get along too well. They might not be enemies but they'll still fight over shared resources.
And frankly, no. One sociopath will cause a local problem and will be dealt with. Planetarily, one sociopath is statistically non-exietent. (Sociopathy will diminish radically in this system, since those who love children will care for any who need care - without money constraints, this becomes an easy thing to offer our children.
Okay. Your car is several miles ahead of your horse here. You haven't even unveiled the free energy - the cornerstone of your entire plan here - and you're already talking about a global system and giving out pop psychology answers.
