Creating a Harmonious Future: Balancing Comfort and Evolutionary Hunger I believe humanity needs to create an environment where everyone experiences both comfort and evolutionary hunger. This combination provides fertile ground for personal development and confidence in the future. Such an environment should satisfy basic needs, including access to organic, unprocessed food, clean water, housing, education, free movement, basic physical activity, and intellectual growth. In this ideal society, all manual labor would be automated, allowing humans to focus on what truly matters—living in harmony with nature while maintaining a hunger for life. People should engage in creativity, building emotional connections, and raising children with common sense. This balance will foster a society where individuals are both secure and constantly evolving, pushing the boundaries of their potential. However, capitalism, as it stands, obstructs the realization of this vision. Its current form prioritizes profit and control, often at the expense of true human progress and harmony. Is it time to rethink the way corporations and governing systems operate? Should we replace them with structures that better serve humanity’s long-term interests, focusing on sustainability and personal growth? These are questions we must ask ourselves if we are to transition to a future where technological advancements free us from repetitive labor, and we can focus on our higher purposes—intellectual, emotional, and creative development. What are your thoughts on how we can make this shift in a world dominated by capitalism?

By “hunger for life,” I mean the steps in everyday life that all humans must implement to ensure biologically successful reproduction. Currently, there is an exponential growth in the number of ways humanity could bring about its own end, given the political, social, and economic structures of society. I do not support genetic engineering because it essentially eliminates the chance that was given to life on Earth by allowing something to alter Homo sapiens’ entire destiny. If this chance exists, nothing has the right to change it. Altering this is the most inhumane thing we could possibly do—it destroys what fundamentally makes us human.
To operate within such a system, we need to create prototypes that demonstrate the benefits of alternative structures. In this system, artificial superintelligence (ASI) must be isolated and used solely for time acceleration purposes. Artificial general intelligence (AGI) should be employed to replace all unnecessary routine work. There is no need for social, economic, or political hierarchies in such a society. People would no longer be fed harmful distractions by the “upper layers” that destroy balance and merely extend their dominance.
All the unnecessary products that companies currently manufacture are wasteful investments of limited resources, designed solely to accumulate more power. This is a highly destructive force in humanity’s development. We need to rethink how we lead humanity. Instead of chasing endless progress at any cost, we need sustainable, predictable growth. Resources are limited, and our actions must reflect this reality.
