Chapter 02 - money
Today's civilization paradigm reality -
is mostly all about money.
What does your God have to say about money?
Was money a key component of his grand design for the universe?
TAP does NOT believe that the god(s) specifically injected money into the story of the universe.
Instead humanity co-created it out of possibility and necessity.
Money was created long ago by intelligence that was extremely self centered and greedy.
and NOT much has changed since.
The typical human, even today, focuses on -
maximizing money with minimal time and effort.
Mostly because -
the economic system solution of the model -
is designed with endless upper bounds.
The money 'powers-that-are' creator-controllers -
simple just keep creating more and more.
What happens when money can't just be increased?
This is a core concept of the TAP model.
'Money regulation' happens -
NOT directly by the short-term decision -
of any person or group.
Instead it is regulated by -
the long-term sustainability design of the model.
With TAP money creation and deletion is extremely regulated.
First 'you' probably are wondering -
What's money deletion?
It's the removal of money from the economic model -
when events happen.
What events initiate money deletion?
Two different types of events:
1) a human body dies
2) periodic economic cycle 'omega' happens
With #1 money-deletion event -
it's important to understand that -
in the TAP world -
humans have two stages of life:
stage 1 - physical realm life
stage 2 - non-physical realm (virtual) life
A human requires no money in stage 2 of life.
With #2 money-deletion event -
EVERY omega timestamp of the periodic economic cycle -
ALL world currency is deleted.
Money is however -
instantaneously recreated -
at the 'alpha' -
which happens immediately after the omega.
TAP is unaware of any other -
human civilization model -
in history or fiction to date -
that deals with money -
in such a manner.
TAKE NOTE!!!!
This is core difference of the TAP model.
Deleting and renewing ALL currency -
establishes a wonderful new solution -
to MOST ALL civilization problems.
It establishes a world where -
money is NOT the most important pursuit.
But money is still critically important -
to help civilization deal with the realties of the world.
There have been some who have -
imagined the world with NO money.
TAP could NOT see a solution with NO money.
Money has a very important role in civilization.
It just has never been done 'correctly' or 'best'.
For TAP -
'correctly' or 'best' means:
unselfishly
endless balance
long-term sustainability
There are numerous problems with the way -
past and today's economic system works.
But NOT until you see a side-by-side comparison -
will you fully understand the problems.
TAP exists -
so this side-by-side comparison can be done.
Most humans are intrinsically over optimistic -
when it comes to personal life -
luck and good fortune.
They are the worst when it comes to -
realistic planning and preparation.
EVERY day, the news is filled with -
stories of poor planning -
of obvious negative next-step events.
As an alien thinker and planner -
I'm always astonished at the 'surprise factor' reported.
All these negative events are clearly inevitable next-step events -
of this failing model -
we ALL are participants and contributors to.
I know, but we are ALL powerless!
WRONG!!!!
ERROR!!!!
TAP is sitting -
right here for the taking.
Money is just one important component -
of the overall interconnected model of civilization.
There are alternative solution -
that offer GREAT overall civilization improvement opportunity.
There are dozens of other related economic concepts -
to weave into a new economic model.
But first money itself MUST be improved.
Here's just some of the other improvement concepts:
No future money -
comes naturally with money deletion or what TAP calls 'zeroing'
No loans
No $ ROI (Return On Investment)
No insurances -
TAP economic life is done in the present moment
No taxes -
instead usage fees
No ownership -
instead only 'temporary usage' law & rules
No corporations -
instead TAPcollabs
No jobs -
instead 'valued activity'
No social security -
instead TAP's universal living stipend
TAP's economic fuel =
endless imagination & creativity
TAP's economic objectives =
max efficiency - unattainable goal > 100%
min wastefulness - unattainable goal > 0%
Other TAP economic objectives:
robust maintenance design -
instead of throw away & replace
mechanize ALL possible
computerize ALL possible
roboticize ALL possible
response-only AI
minimize human-based physical realm work effort -
humans do the much needed non-physical realm creativity work
increasing efficiency & decreasing wastefulness
alternative world-improvement exploration-discovery creativity
low physical resource consumption activity:
rest activity
exercise activity
sexuality activity
learning activity
budgeting activity
governance activity
socialization activity
leisure activity
competition activity
love activity = helping others
passions activity = personal purpose-pleasure activity
after-physical-life preparation activity = TAPavatar building-improvement
There's MUCH for ALL humans to do in the TAP world.
But the focus is NOT on an economic 'person-based jobs' design.
With the TAP model -
everything natural and evolutionary is -
in positivity alignment -
aligning toward overall improvement.
Very different than today's economic model -
where humans compete against technological advancement -
where the vast majority of people -
suffer from tech advancement.
In the TAP world -
ALL citizens get the exact same base stipend, but -
there's still -
a means to work toward increasing one's money income.
It's just far more controlled and regulated.
It cannot create GREAT imbalance with money.
The new money design solves other problems too:
1) corruption
2) illegal activities
3) money secrecy-transparency
TAP money is 100% digital-virtual.
Every unit of it is 100% trackable across all time.
Because ALL money is periodically zeroed and renewed -
it GREATLY simplifies the trackability issue.
Within ALL economic cycle periods -
ANYONE can see the full history of transactions -
with any unit(s) of currency.
Economically and financially, the TAP world -
is 100% transparent.
Just imagine what this means to criminal activity involving money.
Every transaction MUST make perfect sense to every exploring mind.
The money police are the people.
Anyone at any time can explore any component of money.
All this means a new global digital currency infrastructure is required -
but NOT a big technical challenge.
More a global political challenge.
Another important concept of the TAP economic model is -
'diminishing currency'.
This concept stems from how ALL commerce items:
products
services
experiences -
have two pricing components:
1) physical realm material-energy component
2) human time-effort-labor component
The #2 component stays in the cycle.
The #1 component is deleted from the cycle.
The net result is -
as economic cycle time progresses -
money naturally diminishes.
This is in complete alignment with -
the fact that all cycle currency will go to zero -
regardless of the specific cycle activity.
One more design innovation -
mandatory balanced budgeting.
Made possible with today's basic digital technology.
Mandatory balanced budgeting means -
EVERY 'money entity' -
citizen or group -
MUST create financial balance.
It's a critical component of -
Who gets what?
The TAP world operates from the premise -
there ALWAYS exists limited physical-realm EVERYTHING:
time
money
physical resources.
With this reality and fact -
NOT EVERYONE can have EVERYTHING!!!!!
So it's critically important -
for any civilization to have -
a simple solution for -
Who gets what?
Too complex to provide details at this time -
stay tuned.
ALL these alternative possibility TAP economic-model design-solutions -
interconnect to establish a very very different money world.
[maybe more coming - if anyone wants to learn more alternative possibility by going deeper]
