Expert Says Collapse of Human Civilization Looks Like the Most Likely Scenario (Futurism)

52. we actually don't need to tax the wealthy much more than they are taxed now

we just need to keep them from being sooo goddam wealthy, but the old fashioned way... don't make them wealthy in the first place.

we need to quit spending so much of our wealth on the military. All of them are wastes of resources...

Plus we need universal health care and child care... and to gradually reduce the population and return much of the planet to wilderness and oceans free of human fishing.

Geo-engineer the planet to pre-industrial climate and control the weather.

And spread education and democracy ( and much less tribalism and religion ) to all corners of the planet.

Finally we will need to find more resources from our own solar system... planets, asteroids, and other objects. We don't need to travel to other stars... not yet. We have enough material in our own solar system to provide 3 or 4 billion people a very nice and healthy long life right here on earth with our robots roaming the solar system to provide for us. AI is only a danger if we let it become one.
