What's interesting is that so many of our problems share the same causes.

Thank you! Here are my thoughts.

>What do you have to say to people who will lose jobs to automation?

In a post scarcity society, the necessities of life (food, water, energy, housing) is produced in great abundance that they are essentially free. As a result, you only work if you want to, not because you have to. This frees everyone up to pursue what they are interested or talented in. This opens people up to starting small businesses and fueling a local economy.

>Why aren't people already doing these things?

The ideas exist, but rarely have they been consolidated and organized into a policy proposal. Instead, they largely remain utopian daydreams that get stigmatized for unpracticality. However, this society is entirely feasible. We just need to make it happen.

>How do you plan to make this all happen?

I am going to write and publish an academic research paper about this subject and make a website and identity around it. I've been dabbling in spreading the word on TikTok and bringing attention to the solutions to the problems we care the most about.

I'm a journalist at my school's international affairs paper, so I try to use that as a platform. My last article was about the future of food.

I'm unversed in how social movements are created and popularized. However, this is my life's calling and will do everything to make it a reality.

Not as much as you think. There is an impending global shortage of fertilizer, a necessary ingredient to the globe's food industry. This was mostly caused by the War in Ukraine that destroyed several refineries that was pivotal to the international market.

Realistically, we will run out of fertilizer stock in about 3-5 years. After that, who's to say?

I wrote several articles about this subject including:

- Vertical farming, the fourth agricultural revolution, and the future of food

- Automation of labour, particularly in the context of tech like ChatGPT likely to inherit many white-collar jobs within our lifetimes. We must foster this.

Reply to ELI5: The main difference between Christianism, Judaism, Buddhism and Muslim religions by sp4rkk

Great question!

Judaism is the mother of Christianity, Islam, and Catholicism. Their 'bibles' tell almost identical stories and base their entire faith around a messiah who is the son of a single God.

Buddism, on the other hand, arose around the same time as Islam, but is extremely different to the other religions. Buddism doesn't have a central text, and is built around philosophies rather than idols.
