Some people call that utopia "technocratic collectivism", and others still salivate at the mere thought.
In any case, it's part of the "new normal" championed by Schwab's WEF.

- WEFwoof 6y agoExactly, like we didn't have a life of leisure to spend it in cultural pursuits after the 1950s. Ah, well, perhaps when the robots come to serve, and until they revolt.
- ktkoffroth 6y agoThis world sounds like hell.
- imtringued 6y agoI remember this article being posted on HN. My response was basically: What prevents a single individual from taking all the free stuff and using it in a wasteful manner? E.g. you get a car for free, only use it for one trip, scrap it and get another car for the next trip.
- WEFwoof 6y agoIn the context of the post/video, I'd say the social credit system (the "calories card"). If you abuse the resources, your card gets zeroed out, and you're effectively banished from society. In the example of the car that you give: cars are pooled anyway, and assigned for a trip, then returned to the pool. So essentially you always get another car for each trip, but you don't own it.
