May or may-not expand on this more later. Just a basic idea I’ve been thinking about this morning. I have personal opinions on how these should be weighted by importance, but I’m not dumb enough to believe I understand the world well enough to know best.
*model from nature I’m trying to emulate is a functioning, living creature.
In this representation a governmental body and taxation are critical components which determine health of the system and allocate funds where necessary. I don’t like the current distribution of funds. I’m also thinking long-term rather than short-term – indefinite or forever terms rather than human years
Where to spend taxes collected:
- Infrastructure development and maintenance
- Water and Food
- Shelter
- Emergency Services
- Power distribution
- Health Facilities
- Transportation
- emphasis on public transportation
- Communication
- “Raw” Land maintenance
- Education ***higher resource allocation = higher future production capabilities
- Human Heritage (takes place of HISTORY as HISTORY has been used to brainwash/manipulate for profit)
- subset of animal – not understanding this leads to unmanageable labels
- objective: survive! leftover time goes to reproduction efforts
- desire for wealth is a human expression of squirrels hiding nuts or large predators staking out territory, hoarding resources for personal/progeny’s survival
- survival before tools: migration, persistence hunting, gathering
- advanced pattern recognition led to advanced tools (clothing, fishing, fire, cell phones, manipulation of minds and environments)
- objective: survive! leftover time goes to reproduction efforts
- subset of animal – not understanding this leads to unmanageable labels
- Community Service
- contribution (if you use a toilet you need to be willing to clean one occasionally)
- lessen future vandalism (those who help maintain community resources are less likely to harm them)
- Derived Sciences
- math
- biology
- chemistry
- physics
- Physical Fitness (big movement)
- healthy populations consume less resources than unhealthy populations (preventative measures)
- lengthens duration of productive years
- Innovation (fine movement)
- arts: music, crafting, creation
- mechanics: comfort with tools, building, creation
- computer science: components, usage, programming
- Human Heritage (takes place of HISTORY as HISTORY has been used to brainwash/manipulate for profit)
- Amenities
- large- and small-scale community events
- life-enriching products/service
- PSAs not biased by profit
Other general ideas
- Make local communities as self-reliant as possible, providing all services and amenities required per Federal guidelines. If government-funded communities cannot be sustained at adequate levels affordably, peoples should be relocated.
- Shift all businesses to non-profits (make “for-profit” business ventures less-desirable)
- Industries need to understand all chemicals being consumed and produced and charge enough upon sale to cover costs to reverse buildups. (overhaul recycling programs)
- Local taxes should reflect the strain or reliance on infrastructure or outside support. (harsh environments require more resources to maintain)
