So obviously this is a thread about ideas, ideas that might not come true and obviously a bit of 'artistic license' should be given to such future ideas.

To begin with, some of the common ideas of Futurists, I won't name them. This is what is somewhat commonly thought as the future way we should be engineered as a society:

1. As technology advances (100yrs) we should move from scarcity which is the holy grail of money markets, to a resourced based world.

2. Eventually all things needed by human kind, are not only available, but available for free.

3. The banking, monetary system is obsolete and cannot sustain humanity. It is a benefit to a few, while harmful to many. We will move away from this.

4. Future life will require much less labour, and eventually very little actual 'jobs' as we see it. People can/will choose things they enjoy, art, sports, entertainment, invention, science, philosophy, etc.. While everyone lives with full health care, best education possible, and of course an active participation (or not) in this society.

So some of the key arguments for futurism, I'm missing a lot, and details are obviously something we work towards.

My questions to CPers, as we have some smart ones, is can you view firstly a world without monitary systems, a world where automation, robotics, AI and the ability to remove scarcity as we know it to achieve a society based on higher human achievements.

You can only imagine if the human race wasn't concerned with how to pay for mortgages, car loans, transportation, heating, electrical bills, education, health care, etc..

What is the human potential if we move away from what is already outdated to many people, and what could we achieve with technology and science to lead the way?
