@musicman You could make free society propaganda. Propaganda sounds dirty, but all it is is using art to influence folk's minds. By crafting a simple poster with the basics on FOSS and sticking it in spots where folks are likely to pass by you could help make inroads for other's that may have never heard of it.
@moonman Oh, so we have another "Lincoln was a homosexual because he slept in the same bed as other men even though that was common practice when traveling in order to save money" types.
@sim @netkitteh @dtluna From how I see it there are two main branches; we keep currency or we get rid of it. If we keep currency it will be because of either us banning full scale automation, however that will probably not work if it's not an international effort, or we create a rather dumb by design sozi state or welfare program where people are paid by the govt. to live so they can buy products (probably the least likely to happen). It would require international cooperation to keep a automation ban feasible as we have already seen what free trade can do to local or at the least national brands and manufacturing, imagine what it would be like to try and compete with a company that can produce products for free. For free I mean all levels of production could be without a single employee, thus getting rid of cost or value of the product. From the mining and refining of the ores and fuel sources to the utilisation of those resources.
If we get rid of currency (which I see as the most likely of the two branches) then we'll either live in a sort of cyberpunk nightmare where everything is made by faceless "businesses", a sort of communist dystopia or, perhaps least likely of the three, a Star Trek-esque sozi state. When I say faceless business I mean an industry without a person working in or heading it; albeit much like politicians a business owner abdicating is unlikely to happen. Since any product or service could be run without paying a penny on labour there would be little reason to have currency. We are already on track to dispose of many millions of jobs within the next ten years and with the boost of nanomachines repairs could be done to the automatons that replace them live on site, keeping them running indefinitely and replacing the job that everyone says will be needed in an automated world.
Like I said, I should really try and write a proper paper on this to better collect my thoughts.
