The key to creating open source blueprints for civilization is a mindset of abundance. Abundance is not a physical condition. It is a mindset.

And, as long as there is one greedy person, there is not enough for everybody. But the physical reality is that [[10000x]] more power comes from the sun than the entire earth uses today. That means that every day, about 30 years of energy come to the earth from the sun. This means that the [[Total Fossil Fuel Reserves of the Earth]] are a small fraction of energy available on earth, about one trillionth, and the Sun still has 5 billion years left.

Important topic for continuation of problem statement: creating open source blueprints for civilization. Retention is low at Google, something measured on the scale of months. We need 10-100x this, or decades, for as many people as possible to attain DMS of proprietary economies to collaborative.
Retention defined as? Working on open source blueprints for civilization. That means the discipline of coordinated hardware-producing. This is (as in Maslow’s Pyramid bottom layers) because in the order of things, we have not achieved the lower rung for all of civilization. It is the assumption that providing for everyone is a good idea, it is a basic holy principle.
Open source blueprints include products, product ecosystems, institutions, and organizations.
The etymology of holy is whole. This explains the moral intelligence drive, nonreligious, that underlies the integrated education, integrated design, and integrated enterprise - affirming that Specialization is for Insects. It is fascinating that integration is indeed a holy endeavor.
Open source blueprints for civilization means leveling the playing field, for distribution of power. This means equal opportunity. This could include great disparity of ambition or wealth, but not as big as under a condition where the playing field is even. Because more people are encouraged to participate, and the mood all together is more positive under a condition of reduced waste and oppression, where one pays only for value. Meaning that self-determination is accessible to all.
Which creates a world where needs of survival (job insecurity), or mental hijacking into society-scale mental pathology (bad ideas, dictators, demagogues), are no longer the drivers of civilization. People are no longer susceptible to be manipulated because they need to put bread on their table, nor manipulated because they don't have the mental tools to form accurate mental models.
The key to creating open source blueprints for civilization is a mindset of abundance. Abundance is not a physical condition. It is a mindset.

And, as long as there is one greedy person, there is not enough for everybody. But the physical reality is that 10000x more power comes from the sun than the entire earth uses today.
