20 THE WORLD OF THE FUTURE
One of the characteristics of the world of the future will be its ability to combine in an excellent way the most complex technology with the greatest simplicity. In that world, all things will be full of varied colors although without mixing with each other, this will be done to give joy to life instead of the current gray cities intended only for practical use. People will live in simple houses that will be very comfortable but without unnecessary luxuries because the size of these will depend on the number of occupants and not on the ambition of each one. These homes will have everything you need to live but without looking for gigantism or opulence. All the homes will be acquired with the property rental system, which will consist of the tenant signing a commitment with the state whereby he will be the owner of it throughout his life and therefore responsible for all repairs that may arise, but once The abandonment will return to the state that will be able to deliver them to a new tenant. With this system, a young person could become independent at the same time of reaching the age of majority.
These homes will not need kitchens, because the food will be received pre-cooked using small special elevators designed to be able to receive any small order and each home will have one of these elevators integrated. The cities will have pipes similar to those that carry water to the houses but a little larger for the transport of products, in this way instead of being necessary to go to the supermarkets to look for them, it would be enough to request them online and once the order reaches the factories, the products will be able to leave them through these tubes until they reach the homes. Small automatically controlled vehicles will circulate inside the tubes that will arrive at the homes in a few minutes after the order is received. Through the use of these vehicles and automatic elevators, homes will be able to receive any small or medium-sized product as long as it does not exceed the capacity of these compartments, which would be similar to a microwave oven. All the doors of these houses will be automatic, to open them it will be enough to press a button and the door will disappear inside the nearest wall. The houses will be completely electric and gas will not be used, because electricity is much safer and cleaner. Neither will heating be used, because cities will be compact, that is, all the indoor air will be recycled and will always be kept at the same temperature.
These cities would be like city ships, because they would be built in a single united block made up of hermetic buildings together, and they would be designed in one go, just like a building or an airplane. The lateral circumference would be destined to the hangars of ships. The vehicles of the cities will circulate through the lower section and people will do it through the upper sections, in this way it will be impossible for accidents to occur. On the ground floor there will be the vehicle transit areas, on that same floor and above there will be the factories, then there will be the pedestrian transit area, then there will be the homes and offices, and in the center of the city there will be the governing bodies. . To increase energy savings, most of the vehicles will be for public use, but the population will not notice the difference because in return there will be many and with many frequencies so that people do not have to wait, in addition, the vehicles will go faster than Currently, because there are no pedestrian crossings and each direction passes through different heights, there will be no crossings at the same level and consequently the movement process will be quick and comfortable.
At points for vehicle boarding, such as train platforms, the area for passengers will be completely separated from the area for vehicle traffic in order to avoid the possible fall of pedestrians onto the tracks. To access the interior of the trains, a double communication door will be opened between the platform and the vehicle, similar to those used in elevators, but with the difference that in this case they will be used to access vehicles with horizontal movement.
In these diagrams you can better understand the above. In the left drawing, we can see a classic house that could be used by the majority of the population. In number one, the entrance of the house is shown which, although it would be in a building, at the same time it would be inside a compact city. In these cities the buildings would not be separated from each other, because at the same point in which one finished the next would begin, that is why they would be compact, but, to compensate for the feeling of closeness, many spaces for walking and entertainment would be created for the population. In addition, all the rooms would be soundproofed to increase the feeling of intimacy.
In number two, it is shown how the main room could be, showing the seats and the table in blue in purple, on the left side there is a television screen in the shape of a window so that the occupants can see the image in real time outside of the city. We must not forget that the Earth's climate is unique to this planet, but on the Moon, on Mars or on any other planet the atmosphere is not breathable and consequently the windows can only show an image of the outside but cannot be opened. . In number three we can see the kitchen with a table in the center, as I have already said in those kitchens, no smoke would be produced or food would be cooked, because it would arrive already pre-cooked through small elevators directly from the factories. Trash could also be disposed of by the same procedure.
In number four, there would be the bathroom, in this example only the main one is shown but it would be possible to have other smaller ones inside the rooms. In number five the children's rooms are shown, most couples could only have two, because in the future it would be necessary to limit births to that number to avoid overcrowding, however, as accidents or other causes could cause the accidental death of some people would have an additional room for those couples who would be allowed to have three children to compensate for these losses. In number six, there would be the parents' room, which being two would be twice as large as the children's room. Parents could choose between having a larger bed or having two beds together, this would be useful to avoid the inconvenience that each one has different tastes in the way of sleeping or different sensations of heat. Finally, at number seven, there would be a warehouse, to store the objects that would only be used exceptionally, although it could also be used as a guest room in the event that all the rooms were occupied. The doors of the rooms would be indicated in red.
The drawing on the right shows a compact city, these cities could have different designs but they all have in common that they would form a compact block to protect citizens from the external climate that may exist on each planet. These cities would be designed as a united whole and the population would also form a kind of team, therefore, the begging situation that occurs on Earth today would be totally impossible that could occur in this social system. It gives the impression that contemporary society is afraid to take that step, perhaps because never before has all the citizens of a country, or of a city, been considered as part of a united system. Currently there are governments that dictate laws or collect taxes within their sphere of power, but few have come to argue that the state has a duty to close those imbalances that prevent society from being truly united. For this reason, I find those governments pathetic that prepare lodgings so that beggars can sleep during the winter, but that during the day they throw them out as if they were abandoned dogs. If they really cared about them, what they would do is get them apartments where they could live permanently and a job so they can feel useful. It is absurd that there are rich countries in the world that have not yet asked themselves this question. It is necessary to understand that only when the decision is made to integrate the beggars and the unemployed in society will it be possible to affirm that they are all part of a single people. People are not able to understand the immense benefit that this would have for everyone, because among other things it would reduce crime and increase the feeling of unity.
In these cities, vehicles would circulate at levels other than foot traffic and factories would be found alongside the roads at lower levels. In the center of the city there would be the government headquarters and on the periphery there would be hangars for the landing of vertical take-off vehicles. In those cities, airplanes would not be used, because the wings destabilize them a lot and with the vertical take-off system it is easier to take off or land when there is wind, in addition, with these ships it is not necessary to use long landing strips, so that when they arrive they can go directly to the hangars. These ships would be provided with half wings and motors integrated inside the fuselage, in this way they could take off like a helicopter and once in the air they would use the aerodynamic capacity of the fuselage to balance in flight. They could also carry a parachute on top that would activate in the event of a total breakdown of the electrical system of the engines. Another advantage is that by not using rotors in the upper part like helicopters, they could incorporate ejection seats so that the pilots, or if it is considered appropriate, the passengers, can escape in the event of a serious accident of the aircraft.
Another model of city could be the domed type, in this case the isolation from the outside climate would be achieved by placing one or more transparent domes around the buildings, however, it would be a less secure system than the compact one, because in case if the dome was broken, the population would be exposed to the outside climate in a few minutes. However, in worlds without atmosphere, domes would be installed on top of compact cities and then the domes would be connected by tubes through which the ships would circulate, this would be done, because, in this way, the gases that would be used in propulsion of the ships could be recovered and used again. On planets without an atmosphere, travel would be cheaper because there would be no atmospheric friction, although this could also be done on worlds with an atmosphere by building vacuum tubes through which the ships would circulate. In these tubes, the ships could reach supersonic speeds without suffering the consequences of atmospheric friction, thus it would be possible to travel to the other side of the planet in a short time with very little energy expenditure. In the case of the Earth, the best thing would be to reach 29.000 kilometers per hour when traveling a very long distance, in this way the centrifugal and centripetal forces would be balanced, this would serve to make the trip easier and faster. This speed would cause weightlessness in the passengers, but could be solved by creating an artificial gravity inside. To achieve this speed, electromagnetic accelerators would be used, thus avoiding the hassle of carrying large and heavy fuel tanks. With this system, you could travel to the other side of the world in just 45 minutes.
In colonial worlds, food will be manufactured artificially, but it will have the same quality as that derived from plants, so it will not be necessary to try to adapt plants to the climate or gravity of each planet. Life in those cities will be simple and calm, because all the things that need to follow an order will be precisely designed, for that reason people will use the same hours to sleep or get up every day, even on holidays, in this way, the system automatic body can easily adapt to circumstances. At night peak hours would be used mainly to go to bed and in the morning the tips or socks to get up assuming that the planet uses a twenty-four hour system. This would be done in order to give more stability to the schedules, because if rush hours are used at night the schedule is more stable, taking into account, for example, that many programs or documentaries end at rush hour, therefore, the rooms hours would only be used for more secondary things. All these measures would be aimed at making life more peaceful and would make it possible for all inhabitants to reach one hundred years of life without difficulty. This is possible, because in reality most diseases begin in the mind, that is, they are the consequence of living without respecting nature.
In this world, all people will wear a uniform-looking suit with a common color for the entire suit, but each person could wear the color they like best. In the trades all the employees would wear the same color of the suit, but badges of other colors would be used to differentiate each occupation. With this system, deciding what clothes to wear will be very simple and as everyone is dressed the same, the feeling of unity will be reinforced. It is true that by dressing in this way society would resemble a military system, but this would be done to reinforce the feeling of unity among all citizens and not to impede civil liberties. The fact of wearing this type of clothing is not in contradiction with the defense of a democratic system and this way of dressing would only be approved after the citizens approved it in one of the many votes that would normally take place, because unlike the Today's society on an evolved planet all laws without exception have to be voted on by citizens before they come into force.
In this world everything will be organized so that people understand that no one is left over, that means that all citizens will have guaranteed employment and unemployment will not exist, to achieve this it is enough for the government to understand that cities are like living beings and have to be cared for as a whole without forgetting anyone. The working day may be adapted to the physical capacity of people according to their age, so that the duration could be eight hours from twenty years of age to fifty-four hours from fifty to eighty, then people can continue working if it is your wish but it will depend on your physical abilities. Those workers who performed more physically demanding jobs would not be prematurely retired due to their age, but would instead be changed to other occupations according to their age. The jobs would not be designed only to produce merchandise or business results but, above all, for the entertainment of citizens, therefore, the concept of retirement that exists today understood as a renunciation of participation in productive tasks would not exist there.
In the future, human beings will not use the false rituals that exist today, there will be no weddings, communions, or religious baptisms, neither will such organizations exist because true religiosity is carried inside, therefore, they do not make sense theatrical acts that only seek to pretend. With the act of immersing oneself in the water and re-emerging, the intention is to represent physical and, by extension, spiritual cleanliness, but it also represents death and subsequent rebirth, or how the matter of space that is masculine contrasts with the emptiness that is feminine, because it is through the contrast between water and person, or emptiness and matter, that life and vibration are created. However, an evolved man must reject physical baptism because spiritual baptism will always be better, that is, the one he does with his thoughts and actions and not with material appearances and ceremonies. The same can be said of confession, because an animal in the shape of a man confesses before another animal in the shape of a man, but a true man only confesses before God, because only a human animal is so naive as to believe that organizations religious represent God. A true man does not accept intermediaries who tell him what the divine will is, so he seeks God for himself.
The people of the future will not dress in black when a relative dies, because everyone will know that there is only the death of the body and not the death of the spirit within. Nor will jewelry, cosmetics, or hair dyes exist, because people will not try to pretend what they are not or hang objects on their ears to increase self-confidence, because the key for people to feel fulfilled and society achieves peace is that all citizens rely on justice and truth.
In society, there will be two fundamental pillars, one on the physical plane and the other on the spiritual, on the physical plane it will be about obtaining pleasure or entertainment only through science and technology and not through violence, and on the spiritual plane the Society will rely on justice as the axis of religion. Each of these fundamental pillars satisfies one of the two metaphysical planes that it is necessary to take into account to be happy, this is so, because they are not only connected but are derived from them. One is the masculine and horizontal, and the other is the feminine and vertical. The male plane, horizontal and red, is the one that corresponds to the happiness that science and technology provide in the material sphere of life. The vertical, feminine and blue plane is the one that provides happiness when justice is established as a moral norm of coexistence in the spiritual sphere of life. As both planes are peaceful, wars will disappear forever. In this example, I show the horizontal plane as red and the vertical one as blue, it is true that in other cases I show them the other way around, this is not a contradiction, because the planes can rotate in each situation depending on the circumstances.
Over time, the world will evolve to have a single government, a single language, a single race, and a single religion, because progress has only one destiny and that is to achieve perfection in all aspects of society because in the universe only there is a truth. This will be a spectacular world from a technological point of view but at the same time very calm from a social point of view, because a true democratic republic will have been established with direct participation by all citizens in all laws, in addition, all citizens. Labor aspects will be perfectly delimited by law, which will allow strikes to not be necessary either. The real key to social progress is not in having an authoritarian government or having a lot of technology, but in having a society that understands the truth and applies that truth to its daily life. Many times it has happened that good laws have been rejected, because in order to gain power, politicians have scared citizens, causing in the end only laws with little effectiveness to solve problems are passed, therefore, society has to understand, that sometimes, it is only possible to solve the great problems, when great remedies are applied.
In the future, monarchies will disappear completely, because in reality, a monarchy is only a hereditary dictatorship, and therefore, they are in complete contradiction with the foundations of a democracy. Nor will parliamentary monarchies exist, because they are parliamentary systems that preserve the monarchy for purely decorative purposes but without any real value, this shows that they are actually completely incompatible systems, therefore, the government system would be a republic in which the president is would elect for a period of five years extendable to another five. Normally the role of president will be reserved for the most veteran politicians. Once that function was over, they could be part of a council of former presidents. The profession of politician would be learned in the universities like any other specialized profession and would not depend on the parties because they would not exist. The confrontation between the politicians would no longer be possible, because all the laws would be decided directly by the citizens, this means that the politicians would only take care of studying and proposing the laws that they considered most appropriate, but the final decision on which law is approved and which would not only depend on the citizens. When citizens decide all the laws, politicians will be freed from this function, which will make their profession a profession like any other.
In this world, all flying vehicles will be without wings and with vertical take-off, it is very likely that this type of apparatus does not descend from airplanes but from an improved version of unmanned vertical take-off vehicles. In these advanced worlds there will be no pollution, because all the energy will come from the sun and its derivatives. Diseases can be almost completely eradicated, but the key to achieving this will not be the use of technology, but rather the abandonment by citizens of bad habits such as drug use or the renunciation of consuming more calories than the average body needs. In other words, more action will be taken on the causes than on the effects to eliminate these problems. This is necessary, because what is the use of so much health expenditure if people do not expel their demons from their minds, that is, what is the use of all the efforts of doctors if people refuse to give up their vices and their petty behaviors that are what they are? that really makes them sick.
Drugs are bad advisers, because a person under their influence believes that he has more power than he really has to influence the world around him. They also cause false optimism or senseless optimism that leads those who consume them to make decisions that, in most cases, they have to regret their entire lives. Keep in mind that the false optimism that drugs produce makes life seem easier than it really is, this can cause us to make mistakes. I say that it is a false optimism, because it is generated by substances that force and damage the systems that the brain has to regulate pleasure. Pessimism, on the other hand, pushes us to put our feet on the ground and also to analyze the risks in detail. That is why drugs are so bad, because by pushing the brain towards excessive and irrational optimism in addition to damaging it, it leads us to make mistakes that are often irreversible. The conclusion of all this is that we should only accept to generate pleasure, those methods that are in accordance with nature, I mean things like food, music, sex, technology, but used without excesses. This is necessary, because only natural stimulation methods respect the filters that the brain has to ensure that pleasure is not in contradiction with common sense.
There will also be artificial prostheses to be able to replace any organ in the body that has been accidentally lost, these prostheses will be almost identical to the real organs, in this way the transplants will be abandoned. If current scientists had been concerned with building these prostheses instead of trying to use organs from cadavers, surely, today, they would already have high-quality artificial organs immediately available to any patient.
In the colonized planets, infections will not be possible either, because since there are no animals, plants, or microorganisms of any kind, at the time of entering to live the settlers will completely disinfect the cities and their own bodies to completely eradicate the microorganisms and thus get rid of annoying infections. It must be taken into account that on Earth, microorganisms are necessary because they are part of a biological ecosystem, and they serve, among other things, to decompose dead matter, but in colonial worlds they would not be necessary because that function could be performed by people through technology. The man could occupy all the uninhabited worlds that would be the majority but the original worlds, that is, with their own life, will not be occupied, as a way of respecting their own evolutionary rhythm.
In the future, crimes will also end up disappearing. To achieve this, the system will rely on two fundamental pillars, on the one hand, guaranteeing work by the state for all citizens and, on the other, punishing the crimes committed with justice. In order to avoid the promotion of vagrancy and deception among citizens, economic aid would not be given to the unemployed but jobs organized by the state. Proposing economic aid as the only social policy in addition to being a mockery of workers is a drag on the economy, because in the case of those citizens who have physical or mental problems, they can always look for appropriate jobs for them in which that is not a inconvenient, because the fact that a person has a certain deficiency does not mean that he is useless.
In other words, the level of financial aid has to be in line with the physical disability that a person may have, but with the intention of making them self-sufficient so that they do not have to live at the expense of public budgets. What is unacceptable is that public budgets intended to help the unemployed are used to support individuals who do not want to work and who spend the day thinking about methods to trick the state into giving them a salary for nothing. Many of these antisocial individuals claim to have no money to live on but do not hesitate to hire lawyers to help them hide their income. Therefore, the best thing to do against these social parasites is to offer them jobs and not subsidies, and if they refuse to accept them then neither will they be offered financial aid or allowed to engage in begging. It is true that the state should help those who need it to integrate into society, but it is a mistake to use public money to support those who only try to live at the expense of others. The law must use the same energy against criminals that they use to go against it, in order to make them return to legality.
Once the crimes derived from necessity have been discarded, only the crimes derived from vanity will remain, to solve it, the state must send a clear message to society so that it knows that no crime can go unpunished, that is, convictions They will be designed in order to make sure that citizens do not want to resort to crime. That means that those who commit a premeditated crime will have as a punishment the loss of their own life, this does not mean that they will necessarily be executed, but they will have to live and work in prison for the rest of their lives to pay all their expenses and compensate their victims. Logically, in this society there would be reintegration, but those who take a life, it is fair that they pay with theirs or lose their freedom for the rest of their lives.
In my opinion, for those who have committed a crime in a premeditated way there are only two reasonable options, one is the death penalty and the other is life imprisonment, this should be so especially for serial killers. The law should be especially harsh on those who have committed a crime with the premeditated intention to do wrong, but it can nevertheless be more benevolent on those who did wrong believing that they were doing good, or who did it deceived but without harbor evil in your heart.
In reality, the possibility of condemning criminals to death is not necessarily an option to be ruled out and it cannot be considered unfair or disproportionate because they have previously taken the life of another person. If used, it would be useful to reduce the number of people admitted to prisons, it would also serve to reduce the costs of the state, in the event that the prisoners do not get to amortize the expenses with their work. Another advantage is that the environment within the prisons would be improved by not having murderers among the inmates. Furthermore, fear of such punishment could have a deterrent effect among citizens. In the case of applying this penalty, it would be best to use a painless system based on the inhalation of carbon monoxide as an execution method. With this system, the condemned would fall asleep before dying. The relatives of the victims would also be allowed to put the mechanism into operation, thus it would not be necessary to have a person dedicated to that function.
The second option would be to apply life imprisonment, in my opinion this is the best option, because there is not always total security about who committed the crime. This is because the evidence that is necessary to convict a person is not always absolute and unquestionable, because if that were necessary, then it would be very difficult to pass convictions. This difficulty in having irrefutable evidence sometimes forces the courts to convict based on the probabilities of being guilty and not on absolute security. This is done this way, because otherwise many criminals would go free even with 99% of the evidence against them. This does not happen only in the courts but in all professions, because many times we have to make decisions even without being absolutely sure if we want the process to work.
It is true that the ideal would be to always be sure of our decisions beyond any reasonable doubt, but the truth is that in most cases that is not possible, and for this reason we have no choice but to make decisions based on probabilities reasonable. With life imprisonment, the accused have more time to be able to prove their innocence, assuming that they are, in addition, working in prison, they can pay the costs that they could cause to the state and compensate the victims. One of the greatest advantages of life imprisonment is that with this system society can avoid staining its hands with blood with the execution of inmates.
Once the criminals were sentenced to life imprisonment they would in turn have two different options, one would be voluntary suicide, to which they will be entitled, and the second would be work in prison for the rest of their life. This will not be done out of cruelty, but to send a clear message to citizens, because every act of weakness with criminals is a reward for them and at the same time an act of contempt for the victims and that, at present, is not usually take into account. On this, it must be clear that severity is only harmful when it is unfair, but when it is fair and proportionate to the crime, it can be an excellent source of peace for society, because when the offender's wickedness is intense, then only one conduct just as severe it is capable of eradicating evil.
In any case, people have to understand that evil can only disappear from society when criminals fear the law instead of laughing at it as is currently the case in some countries that are considered modern, because in those countries it is they spend fortunes to make criminals comfortable in prisons, but at the same time they despise the suffering of the victims. These soulless politicians brag about how generous they are to criminals, but what do they offer the victims? People should not be mistaken about this, because only when criminals fear the law will it be possible to eradicate evil from the Earth. This can only be achieved when society rejects a political class that collaborates with it rather than fighting crime.
I do not mean to deny with this that every inmate has the right to humane treatment in prison, but there are cases of murderers sentenced to hundreds of years who, however, have been re
