I said 15% for the basics. Passionate people gather and invent. Add modules to the basic system so they don;t need to start from 0 if they want. You hear someone invented the flying saucer. You have all the free time, if you are interested you go and help them build those things. If more want - people organize and you get mass production for those. The nice part: people do this if it's their choice. Free to quit whenever they want. "But what if people don't want to do that and we never get off the planet ?" So what. It's their life. Stop thinking you can use it for your ideals. Free people. We are all dead anyway. Enjoy life, and let others do the same.

About "mafia", right now we are all like plants in a cultivated field. Without constant care, insecticides, and energy used - we are gone. We are weak, and our organization needs a lot of energy just to remain standing. One single power failure in a big city- and you have no more "civilization". Because it's imposed.
I am sure - the mafia will be less likely to appear in my society.

Allowing Human Nature To Work Successfully - Jean Liedloff
Quote:
We act as though human nature were something to be afraid of; to constrain, modify or fight; to subdue and overcome. Somehow we have gotten away from believing that we evolved in a way that works. We believe that our nature has to be modified, opposed and controlled from the very beginning.

Our nature, like that of every other animal, works fine the way it is. But we do not trust human nature. We distrust it in infants, in children, and in ourselves.
And we are the "mafia". We are worse in fact. We kill and destroy without knowing or thinking, just because we have to keep playing "Economy"
