Further, the decrease in the total working day is also influenced by how many people work.
Thus, the number of working hours per week depends on how much products are needed to maintain the normal functioning of society; on the technologies by which these products are produced; and on how many people work.
For spiritual and intellectual development, people need to have free time so that they can engage in activities that interest them, walk in nature, and just spend time in the company of other people. At the same time, people should do something so that laziness and the idea that someone will do the work for them does not develop. For this reason, people should not automate production completely, since this is an extreme that will lead to the fact that over time people will stop self-educating and become lazy, waiting for the machine to feed them and provide them with all the necessary things. Let it be a couple of hours a week, but people need to work.
I think it is worth touching on the famous topic of public toilets in the absence of money in society. Since public property belongs to all people in the country, I do not think that people will litter and sully at their home, so to speak.
Then people will be taught about the real purpose of the Universe and about the fact that mistakes will have to be paid with suffering according to the Law of the Universe. If people know about these realities of life, then they will additionally not want to spoil those, thanks to whom they, in part, have complete freedom and everything necessary for a healthy life – otherwise they will harm not only others, but also themselves.
Then high technologies and automation come into force. Nobody will have to dig in the sewers with their hands if we make the appropriate tools. It is not difficult at all. It is the same with cleaning – there are already robotic vacuum cleaners. I see absolutely no problem with robots washing the floor and cleaning public toilets at night. Of course, the less people pollute, the better.
It is the same case with the streets. People will litter less, as they will understand that they are doing worse to themselves and not to the janitor.
Moreover, regular clean ups could be arranged so that people do not forget that their decisions and actions affect their environment. The less they litter, the less cleaning they will have to do. Of course, nothing prevents the use of high technologies here to simplify the work.
I would like to note that, as it seems to me, now people litter and spoil urban things because of the created division in society into different classes and layers. In the spiritual organization of society, people will feel much more united than under capitalism, when everyone is for himself – one for all, all for one, as they say – more people will help others, and not reject them. Even now, some people pick up other people's garbage and throw it into the trash can. So, once while walking near Semyonovskaya, I saw a young woman who was walking in front of me and suddenly went to the lawn, picked up the garbage, and then threw it into the nearest trash can.
Therefore, there is no “problem of toilets and garbage” in the spiritually oriented organization of society, in which there is no money or politicians. It may exist at the initial stage, when some people do not yet have certain knowledge and understandings, which I spoke about earlier, but over time there will be less and less of them if society tries to teach them about culture.
The army is naturally needed. If a society does not defend itself, then it increases the chances of becoming conquered. The size of the territory occupied by a society on the planet, as well as the natural and geological parameters of this territory, also directly affect those chances. The spirituality and freedom of a society also play a role if it is surrounded by capitalist countries where the Laws and Truths of the Universe are little known, or people do not believe in them. A completely free society that does not use money would be a very good example for those people who still choose to use money to get everything they need to sustain their lives within their country – if the price is not too high for them.
Healthy people go to the army by choice. Gender does not matter, but women should think carefully if they want to push themselves too hard. Naturally, pregnant women cannot serve. Also, people will be able to stop their military training at any time.
Self-defense is one of the most serious things, and it should never be underestimated. Depending on the technological progress of the country and the external geopolitical situation, people need to have a constant percentage of military personnel. If there is a decline in people who want to study military science, then it is the task of the seven leaders and news services to notify the public about the shortage and explain why it is dangerous for the entire nation. The goal is to encourage people to make the decision to undergo military training that should not last more than a year.
Naturally, there will be people who will devote their entire lives to military service. Such people should exist, since there are things that require deep knowledge and great experience. Also, there should always be a military buffer to repel a surprise attack from a potential aggressor.
We also need to talk about the exchange of products with other societies (other countries). If there were only two societies on the planet, and they did not want to unite with each other in one country, then they could exchange products with each other directly (barter exchange). For example, a certain number of cars for a certain number of apples. Such an exchange can only take place if one of the countries cannot produce on its territory what the other one produces.
It is worth saying that the climate can also play a role in the exchange of products. So, for example, a country that is located in the south and has access to the sea may enable people from the northern cold country to enter it for swimming and sunbathing. Then the northern country will give the southern one a predetermined amount of products for each tourist.
Only in very rare cases will people have on their territory everything they can possibly need. People will not have anything that could interest another country. In these rare cases, trade will not be possible, but those countries will be able to unite if the people of both vote in favor.
But what happens when we have more than two countries?
It must be said that direct product exchange is still more than possible, but only if each country has something that it can offer to give to another country in exchange for the products it receives from them. If one of the societies cannot give anything to the other, then the money comes to the rescue – and this is the only case when they are really necessary and useful.
Before going any further, let me remind you that the tools themselves cannot be evil. The way we choose to use tools can bring pain and suffering if we misuse that tool.
Now you need to understand what money is. This truth is also very simple, but it may not be so obvious given that money is an integral part of our society. I realized it only when I became interested in Bitcoin.
Imagine that there are three nations on the planet, each of which, for their own reasons, does not want to unite with the other into one society. Society A produces a surplus of what B needs; B has what C needs; C grows a lot of products that A needs. In this example, the exchange of goods occurs at different times of the year, and all societies have computer technologies.
What happens when A gives goods to B? They make a corresponding entry in the general catalog that A gave B a certain amount of products and did not receive anything material in return for it. The catalog belongs to all three countries, and each side has its own observers who are present at the transfer of goods and make sure that the entry in the catalog is accurate.
