The separation between civilization and progress

One of the most controversial aspects of this era are the incredible results achieved by technologic innovation. Taken singularly, progress only benefits the human kind, as seen from the latest trends, driven towards the protection of the environment, space research, nanotechnology development, implementation of more and more smart informatic systems and so on. The problem arises when said progress becomes part of the ordinary life of every individual and how, with the social and economic policies in effect, progress is becoming obsolete, because it cannot guarantee the benefit state it promised.

Let go on by grades.

Man-Machine comparison

It is a common thought that a machine is something created to optimize those operation that require manual skills. Ploughing, gathering, bottlining, separating are just some of the operations that an automaton can perform with a better efficiency than a human. This lead to the conclusion that machines will take work away from human kind. This is true just in part. On the other hand, instead, there is the birth of new professional workers who allow machines to do the right thing because they cannot think. With the arrival of AIs (Artificial Intelligence) the situation changes drastically. Just think that AIs became intelligent enough to create a musical album or paint or assistants that learn in order to improve and offer a better service, which will seem more human or how AIs are used in a variety of social networks to manage the gathering of information.

Applications for AIs are considered practical and they could be involved soon in other innovative fields where the lack of manual work is not a problem since a while, Just think that is possible to build houses with a 3D printer which is capable of removing human mistakes and costs, or supermarkets without cash registers as those proposed by Amazon Go. This scenery forecasts the loss of more than 800 millions of jobs, an alert that made the most important political authorities put their defenses up but they can’t put the foundations to a new real post capitalistic model yet.

In between

One of the solution found to solve the problem of the lack of jobs is to create an income which would guarantee dignity to people, generically known as Basic Income, evolved in the Universal Basic Income. The latter is different from the first one because it guarantees the income for every existing person disregarding their condition. In many Countries, because of poverty and unstable political situations, or because of negative or fragile financial reports, the solution is not reliable, because this operation means a notable disbursement of money and, at the same time, a tax system that facilitates people that act on the territory and would afford this kind of expense, without considering the repercussion on international relationships.

A civil progression

One of the main purposes of Charax is to take on the same road progress and civilization because, nowadays, they are so different to not see them as “non dual”. Taking their definitions, we note that civilization is a political and economic balance state, based on institutions and technological progress with the purpose to guarantee the individual’s wellness. Technological progress, in a strict definition, has the purpose to ease mankind’s life in order to create a state of general wellness. Unfortunately, progress has been corrupted by the system in force, becoming a mean to our distorted evolution, but even a threat for every one of us. One of the most famous examples - and apparently harmless - are social networks that actually got people near one to the other but even demonstrated the fragility of their privacy. Another example are the resources employed to support war: it would take only the 10% of this resources to solve the problem of poverty in the world - even if the total amount of resources could be more taking in consideration the illegal traffic of weapons.

Social income

Charax social rewarding model takes inspiration from both kinds of the proposed incomes, having created a new kind of job that is always productive for society. Just think to which - and how many - benefits you could obtain just having direct contacts with people, creating new relationships and upkeeping them through time, in a system where socialization is rewarded more than fraud. A similar concept, more moral than technical, is applicable even to new generation information security, blockchains in particular.

It is possible to create an unbreakable system. For every lock created there will always be a key to open it or a picklock to force it. It is enough to create a system in where the good deeds are always worth more of the bad ones or where bad actions are always more expensive than the good ones.
