Meaningful work
No human being shall feel like their work doesn't meaningfully contribute to the greater whole. It's dehumanising to work a job that doesn't intrinsically motivate.
Easy access to work
It should be trivial to obtain meaningful employment. It shouldn't require two decades of education, the right connections, and incredible efforts to have a chance at a decent life.
Labour Dividend
The working class are entitled to the fruits of their labour, not the owner class. Every worker must, by law, be guaranteed that they will get a share of the profits.
No more billionaires
The existence of the billionaire class is a moral failure. We can use taxes to erase the billionaire class. Those taxes should go towards: education, healthcare, infrastructure.
Work should be optional
Work should be optional. I believe that most humans want to work, they want to meaningfully contribute to society, but it shouldn't be required.
Stakeholders over shareholders
A company's fiduciary duty is with the community it serves and the people it employs. Your aim isn't profit. It is solely to improve the lives of your community.
Housing first
Everyone is entitled to a home, water, warmth and food. We all deserve being surrounded by beauty and be protected from the elements. No more homeless people.
Homes aren't investments
Nobody should be allowed to buy a second home. Not corporations, not individuals. We don't have the resources. Your kids need homes too. You're pricing them out.
Reverence for nature
We might be the earliest intelligent life form in the universe and we are squandering this precious gift. By revering nature we maintain our health and longevity.
Limit production
Human beings need two things to be happy: connection and new experiences. We should limit production of anything superfluous to shield our habitat from further destruction.
A unifying philosophy
Nobody can navigate life without philosophy. We cannot afford to think of other people as enemies. There is so much more that unites us than divides us. Help others navigate life.
Compassion as the Golden Rule
To have compassion is to know that everyone suffers. Your words hold the power to either heal or destroy. Let whatever you say inspire and ease the pain we carry with us.
No-one gets paid more than educators
We can't create a world in which everyone participates equally without education. Educators are they most valued members of society and their salaries should reflect that.
No more 9 to 5
Pursuing the arts and being with our loved ones are the true joys of life and keep us healthy. The 9 to 5 needs to go to free up time for what actually matters.
No more cars
The car is an abomination. A car-centric world poisons every aspect of life. Everyone should have access to the basics within walking distance and be surrounded by nature.
A bike-centric world
The Dutch are doing it right. Cycling everywhere is a joy, safe, and allows you to travel great distances without harming nature. Pack only what's necessary.
Joy is your birthright
Life should be joyful, not stressful. You are entitled to a joyful and care-free life.
