allowing us to always arrive at the
absolute best method for sustainable production
based on current understandings.
And while that might sound complex
all it is is a glorified calculator
not to mention that such multi-varied
decision making and monitoring systems
are already used across the world today
for isolated purposes. It is simply a process of scaling it out.
So...
Now, we not only have our Resource Management System
but also a Production Management System
both of which are easily computer automated
to maximize efficiency, preservation & safety.
The informational reality is that the human mind
or even a group of humans, cannot track what needs to be tracked.
It must be done by computers and it can be.
And this bring us to the next level: Distribution.
What sustainability strategies make sense here?
Well, since we know that the shortest
distance between two points is a straight line
and since energy is required to power transport machines
the less transport distance, the more efficient.
Producing goods in one continent and shipping them over to another
only makes sense if the goods in question simply cannot
be produced in the target area.
Otherwise, it is nothing but wasteful.
We must localize production, so distribution is simple
fast and requires the least amount of energy.
We'll call this the Proximity Strategy
which simply means we reduce the
travel of goods as much as possible
whether raw materials or finished consumer products.
Of course, it might also be important to
know what goods are we transporting and why...
And this falls under the category of Demand.
And demand is simply what people need to be
healthy and to have a high quality of life.
The spectrum of material human needs
range from core life supporting necessities
such as food, clean water and shelter...
to social and recreational goods which allow for relaxation
and personal - social enjoyment -
both important factors in human and social health overall.
So - very simply- we take another survey.
People describe their needs, demand is
assessed and production begins based on that demand.
And since the level of demand of different goods will
naturally fluctuate and change around different regions
we need to create a Demand / Distribution Tracking System"
so to avoid overruns and shortages.
Of course, this idea is old news
it is used in every major store chain today
to make sure they keep up with their inventory.
Only this time, we are tracking on a global scale.
But wait a minute. We really can't fully understand demand
if we don't account for the actual usage of the good itself.
Is it logical and sustainable for every single human to, say
have one of everything made? Regardless of their usage?
No. That would be simply wasteful and inefficient.
If a person has a need for a good but that need is only for say:
45 minutes a day on average
it would be much more efficient if
that good was made available to them
and to others when needed.
Many forget that it isn't the good they want
it is the purpose of that good.
When we realize that the good itself
is only as important as its utility
we see that "external restriction"
or what we might call today "ownership"
is extremely wasteful and environmentally illogical
in a fundamental, economic sense.
So we need devise a strategy called: "Strategic Access"...
This would be the foundation of our
"Demand / Distribution Tracking System.
which makes sure we can meet the
demand of the population's needs
for access of whatever they need, when they need it.
And as far as physically obtaining the goods
centralized and regional access
centers all make sense for the most part
placed in close proximity to the population
and a person would simply come in, take the item
use it and when finished, return it when no longer needed...
sort of how a library works today.
In fact, these centers could not only exist in
the community in the way we see local stores today
but specialized access centers would exist in specific areas
where often certain goods are utilized
saving more energy with less repeat transport.
And once this Demand Tracking System is in order
it is tied into our Production Management system
and, of course, into our Resource Management system
hence creating a unified dynamically updating
global economic management machine
that simply makes sure we remain sustainable
starting with securing the integrity of our finite resources
moving to make sure we only create the best
while distributing everything in the
most intelligent and efficient way.
And the unique result of this preservation based approach
which is intuitively counter to many
is that this logical, ground up
empirical process of preservation and efficiency
which can only define true human sustainability on the planet
would likely enable something never before seen in human history.
Access Abundance...
not just for a percentage of the global population...
but the entire civilization.
This economic model, as was just generalized...
This responsible, systems approach to total Earth
resource management and processes
designed again to do nothing less
than take care of humanity as whole
in the most efficient and sustainable way
could be termed:
"A RESOURCE-BASED ECONOMY"...
The idea was defined in the 1970s by
Social Engineer- Jacque Fresco.
He understood back then that society was on a collision course
with nature and itself - unsustainable on every level
and if things didn't change
we would destroy ourselves, one way or another.
Are all of these things you are saying, Jacque...
could they be built with what we know today?
Or are you guessing... based on what we know today.
No, all of these things can be built with what we know today.
It would take 10 years to change the surface of the earth.
To rebuild the world into a second Garden of Eden.
The choice lies with you.
The stupidity of a nuclear arms race...
the development of weapons...
trying to solve your problems politically
by electing this political party or that political party...
that all politics is immersed in corruption.
Let me say it again:
Communism, socialism, fascism... the Democrats
the liberals- we want to absorb human beings.
All organizations that believe in a better life for man:
there are no Negro problems or Polish problems
or Jewish problems or Greek problems
or women's problems there are human problems!
I'm not afraid of anybody; I don't work for anyone;
no one can discharge me.
I have no boss.
I am afraid to live in the society we live in today.
Our society cannot be maintained by this type of incompetency.
It was great - the free enterprise system -
about 35 years ago. That was the last of its usefulness.
Now, we have got to change our way of thinking or perish.
The horror movies of the future will be our society...
the way it didn't work
and politics...
