Hi Phillip, Unless you're willing to present a great deal of evidence in relation to ET or time machines, its probably best you not mention them, for I hope, obvious reasons.
Isolate states exporting anarchy or not attempting to participate in > globalized workforce. Begin measuring purchasing parity adjusted annual cost > to provide a Guaranteed Annual Income (GAI) in various nations. Anarchy technically means "no rulers," though by anarchy you may mean "chaos." Socially speaking, you might want to consider it a lack or unwillingness to collaborate or communicate rather hinting at incomprehensibility. Bryan, it would seem we're kindred spirits on this subject. ;) A basic income would help encourage those to work in more self motivated ways rather than by coerced social pressures to "get a job" "because you have to" "to pay the bills." Because of labor deskilling caused by productive development overall, the unfolding of AGI will be another can of worms to trump all previous cans filled with worms, no doubt. A GAI, or even more cleverly rearranged as "GIA" would hint at "socialist" underpinnings of basic income proposals. 3) Brainstomring of industries required to maximize longeivty, and to handle > technologies and wield social systems essential for safely transitioning > first to a medical/health, then to a leisure society. By longevity do you mean the continuation of distributed resources? Industry usually entails methods of profit making, none of which will occur once abundant resources sink markets that where once proprietary in nature. I formed an organization to tackle your #3. Its certainly a topic likely for more discussion as labor economies tank. For now, we're just a bunch of cukes involved in the so-called technological unemployment debate. 8) Mature medical ethics needed. Mature medical AI safeguards needed. > Education in all medical AI-relevant sectors. Begin measuring AI medical R+D > advances vs. human researcher medical R+D advances. Why the emphasis on health?

I think it would be better to build safe guards into produced items that prevent measures for surveillance. CDI analysis will eventually transition from monetary figures to resource allocation statistics, measuring in the realms of physics rather than financial figures, because money will gradually lose face.

The progress made in the open source community suggests strongly that open and freely available tools, if applied to all resource domains, would prevent potential global warfare. Dinosaur economies rely on this warfare business when money doesn't circulate, and this lack of circulation is often due to greed. Hoarding and scarcity insights war. Abundance fosters peace. Of course, there isn't much money in either abundance or peace, so let us hope the ride isn't too rocky before abundant society is the norm. Perhaps abundant thinking will catch on and spread much like the internet did, deemed by default as a worthwhile universal endeavor. Resistance to abundance and adherent measures that insist on scarcity based economies will only cause more bloodshed as more productive technologies develop. Information wants to be free.

AGI could help distribute resources in a way less arguably fair and reduce harm to a minimum. If AGI is introduced it will collapse scarce economies, and all of them over time, allocating resources and spatial boundaries in an abundant or more preferred manner. I suggest at this point invoking a Utilitarian system like Mark Walker's > "Angelic Heirarchy" Preference Utilitarianism is a good one. Social heirarchy, whether angelic or otherwise, poses problems. It fuels one-upmentships, creates classes, rewards or punishes, and environments that compete for arbitrary reasons. There are of course many tastes. Maybe some folks will prefer this angelic hierarchy business. Like anything, it's not for everyone. AGI could help match different personalities and establish places for a variety of political behaviors.
