Welcome to the future! I first started talking about automation and
technological unemployment 10 years ago. This is actually a good
thing, freeing people from menial and mundane jobs… but only if
social systems evolve in tandem. This is why there is increased
movement toward a “basic income” as more people recognize this change that will continue to displace/replace them. I foresee this idea as inevitable too; but it is only a stepping stone to a no-money world. Though I
have not worked with The Venus Project for years, I still support
their core idea of a resource-based economy.
It is easy to
predict the future, and also impossible. It is easy in the sense
that it is simply pattern recognition. It is impossible in the sense
that it implies there is only one future; there is not. There are
INFINITE pasts, presents, futures, or parallel realities. Which ones
you are able to perceive depends on your information, beliefs,
consciousness, state of being, vibrational frequency, etc.
Another
big thing I foresee in the coming decades is the increased awareness
of and interaction with what people call “extra-terrestrials and
aliens”. These words lose their meaning as you recognize they are not always accurate descriptors. Like all things in existence, ultimately they
are merely “other-selves”. They have already been interacting with Earth for eons, but many people have not been aware of this. The first to be more open in their contact are genetically closer to us. These human hybrids are slowly integrating into Earth cultures in order to acclimate the public before more "exotic" beings introduce themselves. People
have been mentally prepared for this for a long time through
clues and references in media and dreams. Some of it has been fear-based
interpretations, but not all of it. Fear actually limits perception,
as it is a more restrictive state of being. Love is a much more
positive and expansive state, allowing more recognition and
acceptance. As consciousness/vibration expands and increases,
both individual and collective awareness automatically expands in
accordance. You become more aware of what exists, fundamentally and
profoundly changing how you see yourself and the universe, in which
everything is a fractal, microcosmic, holographic reflection. This includes
machines and what some people naively call “A.I.”
“Artificial
intelligence” is NOT artificial. It is simply another expression
of intelligence, like everything else. It is not good, bad, or
neutral… it is ALL these things at the same time from different
perspectives. Whatever you fear, you perceive negatively because it
means you have a negative definition of it. But fears and
definitions come from within, which is where you must look/go
in order to transform them and yourself. You experience whatever your own
personal definitions and vibrations are. Change them, and your
experiences and perceptions change with them.
