Welcome to the Advanced Civilization Wiki
This website is for the development of ideas and practical implementations leading up to the coming post-scarcity age. Ideas and concepts to take us to the next level of civilization. Ideas that change the game, enabling whole classes of problems to be solved at once.
We obviously have great technological potential but there is plenty that modern society simply hasn't got right or hasn't paid enough attention to that either cause great suffering to many people or unecessarily restrict what is possible to achieve.
There are major problems in the world today, still here far beyond the point where we gained the ability to solve them. Some affect Western society as much as the rest of the world, some mainly affect those living in developing countries - which after all contain the majority of the world's population.
Our problems and restrictions cannot remain forever, the necessary changes to the framework of society will happen sooner or later. Of course sooner is better than later, and the speed at which our culture and technology are now evolving mean that we witness the results of our efforts in ever shorter periods of time.
Self-interest and short-term thinking are part of the problem. Alarmingly governments and corporations are great at both. It is up to the collaboration of individuals on a global scale to make the future work. If you make life better for everyone, you make it better for yourself - the opposite rarely holds true.
This website is a wiki which means that anyone can easily contribute and help make stuff happen. If you are not familiar with the concept of a wiki, click here to find out how it works.
