Egalitarian Utopia
An inherited Life 3.0 scenario · Also shown as Shared Abundance
Property abolition and guaranteed income organize coexistence.
Life under this arrangement
Material provision need not depend on owning scarce productive assets. Political disputes shift toward allocation, participation and how different ways of life share common resources.
- Practical authority
- The source premise does not settle the final governing institution.
- Benefits and ownership
- Property abolition and guaranteed income; this is more specific than ordinary redistribution.
- Human and digital status
- Biological and transformed humans coexist; artificial-person citizenship is unspecified.
- Technical premises
- Sufficient productive capacity and workable common provisioning.
- Attractions
- A material floor independent of private productive wealth.
- Costs and objections
- Collective allocation can constrain private projects; disagreements over contribution persist.
- Not specified
- Practical human control, exit and rights for artificial persons.
Earlier project summary and extension
AI-driven abundance is deliberately spread: strong redistribution, shared ownership of the systems, and no superintelligent ruler. Technology stays a tool held in common.
Preserved from the earlier project catalogue. This is project interpretation, not a source quotation or an extra matching descriptor. Where its extension differs from the original premise, the source distinction above governs.
