A lot going on there, my main observations:
1. the Australia Project resembles the society in Ian Banks' series The Culture
2. Curious that a post-capitalist society uses credits to ensure allocation, sort of a UBI, but it seems to gloss over a couple details:
2a. Do credits accrue or is it use-it-or-lose-it?
2b. It sounds like credits can be transferred between people (the space elevator story), what stops credit accrual from skewing via the Pareto Law into the same 1% having 99% of credits?
- aidenn0 7y agoSpace elevator is not credits transferred between people. It is credits being transferred to the public good. Lots of people wanted a space elevator, so they crowdfunded it, but the ownership of the elevator is public; i.e. you get access to the elevator regardless of whether or not you funded its construction.
