We're back. Kind of. Clearing out the cobwebs. Much stuff broken. Much stuff coming. More details to come. So much spam.

10 Questions about work and the economy

Post Body

1) How do we let the benefits of automation benefit society, rather than lining the pockets of the rich?

2) Is economic success shorthand for societal well-being? How do we get our politicians to be more motivated to improve the well-being of our societies, rather than improving our economy?

3) How do we reduce the waste of human capital that is stored in the form of hoarded wealth and overproduction, without creating more bullshit jobs, valueless work?

4) If we can't automate it all away, how do we get our toilets cleaned, dead rats swept up without enslaving people to the wage? Is this a problem worth solving?

5) How do you capture the wealth generation of the most powerful form of unpaid work - parenting?

6) The raising of monks can be done without the direct use of money. Can we raise artists without money?

7) How do we capture the environmental cost of our actions?

8) A lot of us measure our sense of worth by the money we make - how can society be influenced to move away from this?

9) Our education system exists primarily to feed into the economy. Is this a good thing? If not, how can it be remade?

10) Is there a way to disincentivize population growth through shaping the nature of work or the economy?
