FALC - fully automated luxury capitalism
altruism - egoistic (capitalism) > effective (communism)
The official term is fully automated luxury communism - not capitalism, but it's truly capitalistic the FALC system, because individuality (not governments - but they can if they want to join in too) and economics would allow capitalism to be automated towards resources costing near $0 (called demonetization) and with dematerialization - everyone will be able to own their own robots to do all the work for them - in which the individual (or groups of individuals) would reap the monetary and time gains from them. Then individuals can carry on pursuits that're related to their passions, or what they're needed for - i.e. intellect - rather than doing grunt work. This trend would push us towards the new information age while also entering the imagination age. All this would be achieved by people creating robots to do work for them - especially businesses. Investors would buy stock in companies that are fully automated to earn their salary to 'retire'.
How will people make money in a ‘jobless’ economy? When automation takes over everyone’s jobs, how will people make money to survive? People worry about wealth inequality getting larger as technology increases, but as the wealthy have new ways of becoming wealthier, the accessibility to obtaining wealth by the masses also grows. When everyone has everything, due to post-scarcity - jealousy will turn into creativity. Technology will provide avenues where people will be able to make money from their status instead of a job, due to the IoT, sharing economy, and lack of privacy. |

That’s one option for an economic system to exist in a jobless economy. Another aspect is decentralization for ways of people to make money in a jobless economy. Each person will be a node where any component of them would be marketable and used. If someone buys a car, they can rent it out, a hard drive on their owned computer could be rented out, and in the future, parts of one’s brain that aren’t being used could be.
Genes, anatomy (like neural circuitry), demographics, domains (like one’s location and realm of how far they can travel at a video, live feeds of their vision and senses, attention focusing, etc.), etc. can be licensed or rented out.
Basically anything anyone owns or has will be able to generate income. There’ll be a mass-decentralization of income generation as technology becomes more invasive in our lives. It already exists - bank accounts generate interest, due to banks loaning out one’s money, etc. It’s just in the future, the scale and depth of what one has and owns and can be utilized by others, and the number of others (due to larger populations), will be much greater than what exists now.
People will be able to make money just by being born and living - the more they live, the more money they can make.
Anyone and everyone might be able to have their own set of robots and bots that they can use to generate money too - anyone would be able to own a fully automated business. Everyone’s chores and errands would also be done by automation, so that people can live their life with other individuals buying the time and space of those precious moments - maybe even enjoying that life with them in VR or some other way.

How does FALC differ from regular communism? Should it carry over the bad rap, simply because it shares the same name? FALC is communism 2.0 without a centralized authority, or where everyone’s their own authority. It’s more like capitalism and anarchy rather than communism. It won’t have the same worries of authoritarian figures taking over, because everyone will have practically the same amount of power/capability as everyone else - outside of their own status. It’s going to be one’s status that determines one’s place in a FALC, much like any other system out there. How far one goes in a FALC will be status-based of one’s own features one’s born with, modifies to, or picks up/decides to create.

FALC is something that would emerge when we get to post-scarcity - it’s the economic component of a post-scarce world (or at least an option of an economic route we choose - as there can be others, like a moneyless economy). FALCs can either have a currency or not. See the ‘economies without money’ video. Without money, people could just utilize what each other has freely without paying for it. Automation would make goods virtually free, because labor wouldn’t be a cost and since automation could go where people can’t, they may access resources in a way that’s abundant enough to be greater than the entire population can ever use (like asteroids - see the ‘asteroid mining’ episode). This may take place due to the greater availability of choices and accessibility that technology provides that makes everything not cost anything to get to, have, or need (provided one has the equipment - which people may be born with or given at birth). See the ‘hive minds’ episode. The choice and stress of having to or feeling guilt of not paying would be eliminated. It’ll be more efficient, with greater freedom - more willingness and opportunity, without being sidetracked by money - a society might choose to remove money from their economic system for that reason.
The FALC with a currency is what is described, but with money.
A FALC may exist alongside a regular economy, but could split off to be in locations that people might not exist in. FALCs can be located anywhere, and is more flexible for where it can be located, which is why we’re going to likely see this in space more than the economy we currently have - as it’s not going to be based on people (who don’t have the bodily variety nor capacity of machines), but machinery and automation - which can go where people can’t and can do what people can’t. This is called Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism, as gender norms wouldn’t exist - due to being machines (that don’t have genders, unless assigned them).
Specialized UBI
regular UBIs don't work
I know when it comes to UBI thoughts - everyone misapplies what I say to platform it towards a UBI. I'm not for a UBI. I'm ok with specialized UBIs - where if people need money, they take as-needed. I don't like a system where everyone gets an equal amount of money, because not everyone needs it - and so those who need more money don't receive it - so that money's a waste, and those who don't need it get it - which makes them a target for stealing as well as poor money habits (as they won't know what to do with the money - so they'd waste it). However, no one really cares about my thoughts about a specialized UBI - so everyone is going to misappropriate my words towards their own personal UBI agenda unfortunately.
With a capitalistic FALC - people can earn money with whatever company they want to - because no one's being exploited - being run by robots. And robots would maintain a company to make sure it can't be exploited by humans. If we had a UBI - it would be through a stock market - where people make money from the companies that have enough money to give. Obviously no company should give money in a way that is what the business needs to survive. People's share is only a cut of the profits. Then everyone is able to retire and work will become obsolete. No one should have to be pressured to work a job - when jobs are hard to find and people are hard to place. Give it to robots and keep capitalism running - where people take money from companies only for what they need - which should be for building more companies. Who knows - maybe we can get robots making money too and everyone gets everything for free - due to the labor costs dropping to $0 and the robots make money to keep the businesses going and whatever people need - they can produce on their own at home with 3D printers and growing their own food in vertical farms.

Decentralization
not anti-business
It's capitalism all the way. I personally feel the C in FALCs is capitalism - while there are communistic FALCs - I believe in a capitalistic FALC where it's a decentralized economic system of everyone being able to produce their own goods themselves - thereby not needing businesses. I'm not anti-business - I just believe people being independent in producing what they need for themselves rather than businesses is the way. However, if people aren't capable, then businesses are ok to exist. However, being capable is what people should strive for - and businesses are only a crutch to get people there - rather than dependent and rely on businesses first and foremost - that I'm against - because businesses are very wasteful. Sometimes people are wasteful - and businesses are needed to cut the wastefulness. So I'm not anti-business for that reason of standardization.
