but isn't rich :P, if everybody is rich, everybody has the same - and is therefor not rich -just average
i would prefer nobody is poor, as hard workers have to get rewarded (like: being superrich)
but i guess we are thinking in the same direction, and i definatly agree with you
I'd say the best world would be one where hard/good work is still recompensed by said workers being richer than others, but where the poor aren't lacking in housing or food (it's just very "poor" compared to the rich).
But what would be done with people who can't work hard because they're ill or disabled? Are they just unfortunate because they're on the short side of the stick?
They'd be considered "poor" and have the same resources of basic food and housing.
Of course, there'll probably be system in place to help those with disabilities or disease with adequate help and health care..
it's not like philanthropy will vanish. In this future it'll just refocus on other things than food and shelter for the poor, since those are a given. So helping those with disabilities overcome them ( or... you know... fixing said disabilities.by the time we get to such a future as this, I'd be astonished if we couldnt fix nearly every handicap possible).
OK, thanks for clearing that up. At least the people who need it would be taken care of regarding most important needs. Interesting view. And you're right: it should be possible to heal anything in the future.

that's a world i would like to live in!
Yes. Where perhaps it's about levels of rich'ness based on having a Rich regard for all life here on our planet.
Rich / poor divide reflects a collective cognitive dissonance in my opinion.
@worldclassplayer a world where poverty is relative not a biological threat to someones existance. That sort of world. I agree

Don't just look at satisfying the poor guy. Take a hard look at what advantages the rich have and where does THAT end?
