Reply to comment by AdorableBackground83 in what jobs will we have post singularity? by theferalturtle

Money and capitalism are probably the most important of human inventions as far as economics is concerned. It would only make sense to get rid of them in a world with literally infinite resources which is probably impossible. The quality of Jobs that people will have will improve exponentially but hoping that money and capitalism do not exist is probably not wise since every attempt we have made to achieve that has resulted in unspeakable levels of death and suffering.

Capitalism and money were good systems about 50 years ago but now they’ve become extremely cancerous and I believe we as a human species are ready to take the next step.

I advocate a resource based economy as described by the Zeitgeist Movement and Venus Project.

If you’d like to learn more then check out some documentaries they made. It’s free on YouTube.

I think that well regulated capitalism with very strong welfare system as we see in the Nordic countries is still the best real world economic system to date and it would be a good start to go from there, adding UBI once AI driven unemployment will warrant this soon. Eventually once we are approaching true post-scarcity economy capitalism will be probably basically obsolete even before true Singularity.
