How We Can Build the Ideal World?

A forum for people interested in science and technology topics that impact our lives..

Cormac will moderate this discussion.

Summarised handouts highlighting significant elements of each chapter
will be available to everyone that attends.

Key points for consideration.

When jobs become obsolete should everybody get a basic income to live comfortably

Basic needs of food, shelter, safety, health and wellbeing once satisfied, will it minimise poverty?

Would a basic free income enable people to choose activities that are creative, innovative, productive and purposeful?

What would a transition to this new world look like?
