One World Dream

I’ve been thinking a lot about motivation lately.   Primarily because it is the single most important challenge I see with a utopian society that is prosperous enough to provide for free the basic means of life for every individual in the world.   I firmly believe that for our one world dream to occur we need to ensure that everyone everywhere is provided the basic necessities and is free to pursue whatever dreams and endeavours they are most passionate about. The worlds explained in the Venus Project  and at paradism.org are some of my favorite portrayals of a utopian world that could work for us.   However, they both lack detailed explanations about motivation and incentives for work.    Once all our basic needs are completely accounted for by automation and robotics, what will we do with ourselves all day?   Some will likely sit around and gorge themselves on all forms of entertainment and gluttony but I would like to believe that many of us will see beyond that to a greater

Obviously that never happened.  I told myself it wasn't good enough yet to send around.  I needed to fine tune it more and make sure it would be interesting enough to read and wouldn't offend anyone. After a few weeks I got busy with other things like work and family and hobbies and I set my dream aside.  I figured, what's the point?  I'm sure no one will really read it or care and it will just be a waste of time.  There are so many other ways I can spend my time and my life is really pretty good anyway, so why worry? These types of thoughts are the greatest enemies of progression.  If we truly want to create a better world where billions of people aren't starving and abuse
