When work doesn’t exist, what will you do?

In the not too distant future, work for many will not exist, certainly not as it has existed for 1,000s of years.

AI will replace a great deal of the current low value tasked based and repetitive work. It will even start to replace some semi-skilled work and perhaps one-day some skilled work too.

For many that will leave a great big void and will leave the challenge of what to do.

Those who seek out specialist, very niche work, where their skills, experience, and deep knowledge can not easily be replicated by technology will be highly sought after.

For many millions, if not billions, what will the future be?

The human race is facing one of its greatest challenges, yet most are not even aware that it is or will happen. Most are distracted by killer clowns, terrorism, hate of anything different, that has been engineered by the people who are creating this future where we are replaced.

The real people in control create charades like the US elections where two candidates, who will have no real power, put on a show to entertain or appall us.

What will you do? Wait to be replaced by technology or perhaps it is time to replace the people who are creating that technology and controlling us.

It is in our hands, the 7 billion + of us who live on this planet, we all have our choices for ourselves and future generations.

Who is ready for real democracy?

So this week I am at the Ouishare Fest 16 at the fabulous Cabaret Sauvage in Paris. My mate Bernie has been telling me to come to this for 4 years. Now I am finally here, I wonder why I never came before, it’s not like I need much of an excuse to visit Paris.

This morning I was listening to various chats on Block Chain, which I did a podcast on recently and blogged about. I am now starting really understand the potential of this technology. I am not suggesting now that I have become some expert, far from it, but I can see a glimpse of how this technology can allow complete decentralisation and can effective bypass or replace the needs for governments.

If you are regular reader of my blog, then you will know that I am not a big fan of the current world operating system, I am not a fan of the establishment, I am not a fan of all the ‘isms’, party politics and the industrialised system that has enabled a tiny few to hoard all the wealth and power. Where the majority of the 7 billion + of us are mainly replaceable and interchangeable cogs in their ‘machine’.

So seeing a technology like Block Chain, which is effectively a giant ledger that the many own rather than the few. So we can have a truly global democracy that the many can own and run. So we can have control of governance, rather than be in no control of the governments that currently govern us.

The thing about all of this is, when the majority of the 7 billion who have been stolen from by the colonial and industrialised system, that the Western countries have mainly controlled, demand reparations for this and a return of the stolen wealth and resources, which clearly they would vote for in a truly global democracy that every citizen would have a valid vote in, then the all of us in the West will have to get comfortable with redistribution of resources, especially the uber-wealthy of the world.

True global democracy will come as Block Chain will inevitably enable this revolution, but like any big change, it will come with a price and we have all to be aware and sure we are ready.

The fact is, there is already more than enough wealth in the world so that we can all live comfortably. I blogged before that if we started with a blank sheet of paper and designed the world, we would not create what we currently have. We would not give virtually all the money/power/resources/political control to less than 1% of the population.

Block Chain could enable us to reverse that and bypass that system rather than having to destroy it. For me, bring on the revolution, let’s create true global democracy.
