Editor’s note: Below are quotes that point toward a society where we, the people are in the driver’s seat, where our country’s vast resources are shared with everyone, and where we all contribute to humanity’s development. Please send your visions too!
“40,000 year old musical instruments and cave paintings tell us creativity is key to human development and survival. That creativity’s greatest outcome to date is automation, eliminating the need for backbreaking and underpaid labor, unleashing each individual’s energy to explore our true potential. When we let go of the idea that our value lies in profit, we can build the future our dreams demand.”
– Danny Alexander, writer and teacher
“It is now highly feasible to take care of everybody on Earth at a higher standard of living than any have ever known. It no longer has to be you or me. Selfishness is unnecessary. War is obsolete. It is a matter of converting the high technology from weaponry to livingry.”
– R. Buckminster Fuller, author, inventor, and futurist (1895-1983)
“If machines produce everything we need, the outcome will depend on how things are distributed. Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared.”
– Stephen Hawking, a leading cosmologist, theoretical physicist, and visionary (1942-2018)
