The Economy of Heaven on Earth
There is abundant human energy for co-creating satisfying food, shelter, clothing, healthcare, worldwide travel and entertainment for everyone!
Welcome to the Economy section. Here, we explore how a culture of fairness, dignity, and shared participation can emerge through a new understanding of human energy and contribution.
This seven-part series introduces core ideas that challenge today’s assumptions about work, resources, ownership, and opportunity. Each page builds on the last, offering a clear vision of how societies might transition from systems organized around scarcity to systems organized around human potential.
Begin wherever you like, or start with Part I to follow and participate in the unfolding logic step-by-step.
The Seven-Part Journey
Part I - AI as Friend or Foe
Is artificial intelligence a threat to human dignity, or a partner in human flourishing? This opening section reframes AI not as an enemy to fear, but as a tool whose impact depends on the values guiding its use.
Part II - The Core Proposals
This section introduces a foundational shift: organizing society around human energy, contribution, and participation rather than money, scarcity, or coercion. It outlines the core logic of a participatory economic model.
Part III - Voluntary Participation & Optimal Contribution
When contribution is voluntary rather than forced, what motivates people to give their best? This part explores trust, intrinsic motivation, and systems designed to encourage meaningful participation without compulsion.
Part IV - Housing and Shelter as a Right and Responsibility
Shelter is explored not as a commodity, but as a shared responsibility. This section examines how dignity, accountability, and contribution can coexist while meeting one of humanity’s most basic needs.
Part V - Transportation, Mobility and Freedom of Movement
Mobility shapes opportunity. This section looks at how transportation systems can support freedom, access, and participation without reinforcing inequality, waste, or exclusion.
Part VI - Security, Justice and Accountability
What replaces punishment-based systems in a participatory society? This section explores justice, safety, and accountability when the goal shifts from control to restoration and collective well-being.
Part VII - Transitioning from Ownership to Participation
The journey concludes by focusing on transition. How do societies move from ownership-centered systems to participatory ones without collapse, coercion, or exclusion? This section addresses pathways forward.
