ENTERING THE SINGULARITY/HEAVEN

In July 1944, the Bretton Woods economic system was conceived.

This has achieved two momentous things:

1. It provided the growth necessary to win the Cold War

2. It has produced AI

Be aware that Marxism was fatally flawed when it suggested that if only
the workers owned the means of production, they would use it to better
society. Reality is that humans would much rather optimize for the
dopamine hit of watching TV than romantically working. PDOS (see pdos.org)
has demonstrated that. The means of production were handed to humanity on
a platter.


However, our current economic system has had some side-effects.

Many people can no longer afford to have children. Those who do have
children are still generally forced to put them in daycare so that the
woman can work. Immigration was used to paper over this crack, but that
just highlights the fact that our own systems are not sustainable.

The system of apprenticeship has disappeared as skilled migrants are
taken instead, leaving local young people with poor options.

The system itself requires the population to expand indefinitely, which
is not possible on a finite planet, and now needs to be drawn to a close.

The system itself required house prices to rise indefinitely as a
speculative investment, with people outbidding each other with
borrowed money.

The loans on the houses were considered to be repaid in full by the
house itself, instead of the debt staying with the person, meaning the
bank was taking a risk of insolvency as people gambled on the
speculative investment, preventing a "correction".

AI has started removing not just jobs, but also consumers. This is not
the same as the Luddites. This is making the human brain redundant. It's
not something that can be reskilled for.



Solution:

We must recognize we are in a new situation, needing a new plan,
including government intervention.

Existing loans must be tied to the borrower, not the house, so that
people are not encouraged to walk away when the house price corrects
to 50% of its current value. This prevents a banking collapse.

Businesses automating jobs using AI must pay an AI tax, and that money
goes to the people made redundant, so that they have time to be parents.

AI is expected to take over all jobs. That is the singularity or Heaven.
Humanity has spent a lifetime dreaming of not having to work. Our current
economic system is treating it as a catastrophe instead of a fulfillment
of that dream.
