Adjust Fines and Penalties to Income Level and Net-Worth

Fines exist to disincentivize harmful behavior and minimize overall harm done to our societies. Fines have been around for as long as humans have socialized, but nobody anticipated that a small group of extremely wealthy corporations and individuals could one day stand above the rules of our society and completely discard any fines brought before them.

Establish a Term Limit for Government Positions

Each generation has new ideas and issues approaching them in their future, therefore each generation requires fresh minds that can bring society forwards in way that have not been perceived yet. But for those minds to come forwards and enhance society, they need to be voted into office in the first place.

Citizens’ Choice in Tax Allocation

The easiest way to directly affect change is by voting with our wallet; when we buy something at a store or when we decide not to. It is the most powerful tool each of us has in changing the world in the way we want it to. The only financial aspect in which this choice is still missing is in the allocation of taxes.

Higher Taxation on Extreme Income and Extreme Wealth

With people making millions or billions in income each year, more than the income of most people working their entire life and more than they could ever consciously spend, a new tax bracket for extreme wealth has to be established.

Eliminate Tax Loopholes and Off-Shore Safe Havens

For many decades multinational corporations and wealthy individuals have been using international taxation systems to their advantage to lower their taxes to near 0%. Subsidiaries in the Netherlands, Ireland, and Luxembourg are common for multinational corporations, while small island countries like the Bahamas or Cayman Islands hold billions in untaxed income.

Total Income Transparency for all Politicians

As elected politicians are representing their country’s citizens and are employed by them, it is crucial that any income that could interfere with their political orientation has to be made transparent and any kind of lobbyism jobs and direct donations banned.

Fishing Net Tracking to reduce Ocean Pollution

Discarded fishing nets (also known as ghost nets) and fishing equipment are a substantial contributor in polluting the oceans. Some studies and reports suggest that they are the biggest contributor of waste in the oceans.

All Religions are the same and none of them are inherently violent

In the broad context, religions made humanity more civilized and peaceful, although it is sometimes hard to imagine this at our current day in age.

Life as a Videogame

While on the topic of videogames, it is also incredibly useful to think of your life as a videogame. It’s a nice exercise with which you can evaluate your life and set the directions you want to skill your “human character” in.

Meta Learning from Videogames

These skills are something you don’t notice developing until you become aware of them in your daily life. The skills you develop in-game are something your brain understands on a meta level and applies them wherever they are useful.

The Internet of Money

On the internet, we want to pay instantly, cross currencies, to the other side of the planet. Something today’s systems are not built for. But Bitcoin brings innovation to disrupt today’s monetary systems.

A Worldwide Social Credit System

A social credit system is a digital extension of our culture and law. But it should not be used as an excuse for governments to collect more data about citizens or censor them, but serve them instead.

Before Basic Income

Not having to worry about financial issues is a huge step towards a happy and fulfilling life, yet the requirements for basic income are too huge to be implemented within just a few years; massive funding and therefore higher taxes on the top 1% and a solution for corporations funneling billions through tax havens. We need to keep an eye on implementing the important finding of basic income research while paving a way towards it.

Renewables and Electric Cars are not Sustainable

Sustainability has way more facets to it than many realize; buying an electric car is not sustainable and neither are solar cells or wind turbines. To understand sustainability, we have to look at the entire lifecycle of a product and not just its most convenient aspect.

Social Media is improving the Online Landscape

With all the shit social media sites are getting for hate speech and fake news on their sites, you have to give them credit where credit is due.

The Vaccine; the Holy Grail

The Vaccine as the Holy Grail; for politicians all across the world, who, despite the publicly available information and strategies on how to deal with a pandemic, decided to implements only a few policies and experiment with others.

Wearing a Mask is a Litmus Test for Collective Responsibility

Wearing a mask in public is an easy and convenient task. Stopping people from getting infected or spreading the virus and helping people at high risk is morally the right thing to do.

A person not willing to wear a mask for the collective good is selfish and irresponsible. It does not matter how deadly the virus is; it is about the mentality.

A Life on Our Planet

The most challenging point that is not being mentioned too often is that we have to reach net-zero emissions by 2100 to stabilize the climate. We have to go net-negative to reverse the damages already done by then. We can’t merely rely on others to do the first step, and maybe in a decade or two, follow their lead. Each of us has an individual and collective responsibility to do their best.

The Human Life Cycle

We are interconnected with nature, earth, and the universe; everything we consume influences us. The food we eat becomes us. Ideas and experiences shape our minds and personality. The habits and things we do daily develop our skills and understanding of the world. Our “self” is fluid, never static. Our minds and bodies change every day in subtle forms until we become entirely different individuals in just a few months or years.

The Empires Crumble

The United States, The United Kingdom, Europe. They have become synonyms for opportunity, freedom, growth, and wealth. People see in them the future and try to replicate them or live there someday. But the marketing from decades and centuries of slavery, oppression, and imperialism is starting to crumble.

Social media won’t steal your attention if you don’t let it

A system in which your attention and behavioral changes are the product, and a broken advertisement model promoting eco-chambers and radicalization. Social media has a lot of issues to overcome, but we can already see progress and a bright future moving towards us.

Giving up Friendships

Although we know and feel how relationships have a positive effect on us, learning how to pick the right ones and develop them is only taught on a very basic level in society and culture.
