Practical Post-Scarcity: Principles and Strategies for Civilization Reconstruction

This is quite opposite the possible scenario of Universal Basic Assets which gurantee prosperity without exclusion, so that true self-determination and freedom is introduced for the first time as a possible norm in civilization.

OSE is a practical experiment aimed at the above. Here we discuss our principles and approach, which drive our culture and actions.

Therefore, the general principle of OSE remains the mass creation of right livelihood - meaning the universal access to livelihoods which follow principles of the economy of abundance, such as sharing, not stealing, nonviolence, etc - a legal code that can be summarized in merely a few lines. This task is currrently a significant endeavor at the $100T scale - meaning the substitution of the economy - almost 100% to collaborative abundance. This assumes that the current state is near zero in terms of economic collaboration. If we assume that
