Following the evolution of human species we see that from early years there was a need for certain rules in place. Eg we needed a fair trade system. It was unfair to trade a cow with a few grains of rice or wheat. So currency came up and thus the beginning of the whole economic system. Moving forward to today, after having been through many economical crisis, political changes from tyranny to oligarchy to finally democracy we can say that we are at a quite high peak of our evolution.

Over the years though, the whole economic system itself evolved to what is today. A system that categorizes and labels people based on their income which immediately creates inequality. Consequently, inequality creates hatred between those privileged and those not privileged which is completely based on luck (eg someone born in Switzerland vs someone born in Ethiopia or Nigeria).

The question is why as a whole species we follow regulations that were created to serve the needs of an older society? My thinking is that even if the whole economic system collapses that will mean nothing to our viability. If this is true then immediately a really high number of professions become unnecessary and therefore need to be removed from the system.

Automation can take over in many professions, we can change entirely the way we work (proven by recent virus pandemic), even the days we work and global economy can easily sustain it (80trillion for 7 billion people) with the absence of pointless professions people can really focus on burning matters such as poverty, major diseases, overpopulation, space exploration and alternative energy sources or even alternative planets to live in. I'm sure if all the people working pointlessly in customer service jobs or as waiters/tresses were to shift their focus in actual important matter we would reach to a solution way faster than we are currently doing.

So why have we become so passive? Why have we accepted that this is the way things are supposed to be. Who said that we need to work 5 or 6 days per week? Who said that people need to get married? Why don't we break down the whole economy? It's easy. Just stop showing up for 1 month. Politicians have no power. Their power is just an illusion deriving from our numbness. So what keeps us down and why do we still accept it?
