Parameters for a better world

Resource-Based Economy:

"A Resource-Based Economy is an economic system in which all goods and services are available without the use of any system of debt or servitude like money, credits or barter. All resources become the common heritage of all people, not just a select few. The premise upon which this system is based is that the Earth is abundant with plentiful resource; our practice of rationing resources through monetary methods is irrelevant and counter productive to our survival."

Financial Commons:

"Financial commons refers to an experimental methodology whereby an alternative currency is given freely in the form of a basic income to preserve a common resource, until the currency is exhausted once an exchange is no longer required to preserve its use, after productive output exceeds demand, surfacing a free use commons or free access to a resource without exchange currency."

Design Science Revolution:

"The conceptual framework for a design science revolution was articulated as a panacea for problems caused by natural resource depletion, overpopulation and many other 20th century's anticipated problems. The answer to the various dilemmas involved a concerted effort by design engineers to anticipate the needs of humanity and meet them before it is too late. Nature is revered for its technological complexity, "In it's complexities of design integrity, the universe is technology."By utilizing these natural principles of technology, mankind could become an omni-sustainable utopia. Operatively, design science would be the continued utilization of these natural principles, and thus man's vehicle to utopia."
