How I Would Run Things

If I were to decide how the world operates, what would I do? I would actually create a society that most people would want to live in — and if some people didn’t like it for whatever reason, they were more than welcome to secede and do their own thing in a separate area (so long as they follow a basic set of reasonable rules, which is essentially that they don’t commit any violent crimes). Sounds like a pretty bold statement, right? Let’s digress and see what type of world I would create.

The first main thing that I would do is automate all work as much as possible, and then evenly divide the remaining amount of “human labor” evenly among all working people, while still paying them full time salaries, so that everybody only has to work 1–2 days per week — if that — while still getting paid very well and producing an adequate amount of products to keep society functioning. I’ve gone into more detail about this in my previous works titled “Ethical Automation of Labor” and “The Type Of Robot To Make Ethical Automation More Simple and Efficient”.

I would also begin by getting a survey of which jobs people would prefer doing if they got paid the same regardless. Then, I would see how that lines up with what jobs need to be done by how many people. For the jobs that don’t have enough people interested in it to begin with, I would incentivize those jobs by offering higher pay and more time off, until enough people were interested in doing those jobs based on those incentives. If there are still some jobs that not enough people would want to do…
