We could transition to an open access economy, with universal basic services (instead of monetary income), open source products and federated and trade-free coordination of resource flows. We could liberate ourselves from the compulsory race of competition and its manifold symptoms.. no time pressure, no low-quality products and we could become friends with the machines to avoid (ani)matrix-like escalation..
