Very cool article, thanks for posting. I think we'd be surprised how many have thought about that question, if they admitted it, since childhood. I read another post today lamenting we seem to be missing something, spirituality, which would help us understand the issue. To me we all of us had the capability to think correctly about it when we were kids, individually, and when we were indigenous, as a species, but it got messed up when we became fixated with profit. We reap what we sow, and all of the corporations and explicit Ai are developed exclusively for that single all-consuming goal.

But the problem is it is physically unsustainable.

See the thing missing from your analogy of us being like the cells in a larger body, is that the availability of physical energy to all of those cells is fair, in a healthy body, they are not having to rob one another for energy to survive.

Whereas, we obviously are.

The medium we use to transmit energy is currency.

And the source of energy in that currency is exclusively from capital, from which we derive energy, the capital of Earth, which is depleting, since it is finite.

So the answer to solve the problem of making energy available to all people, is to change the source of money from capital, to the sun, the only actual source of energy, which donates Joules contiinuously, no labour required in return (After installation of Money-fuel trees, as I described in another article).

This will happen one way or another, not much longer now I believe, as the quality of life of even the richest of capitalists are affected, they will have to accept there is only one way out, for survival, they need to relinquish the power of their capital and start monetising the energy of the sun.

Sorry if I just damned any chance of your article becoming popular, by saying that, but somebody has to say it (Don't shoot the messenger!) :)
