Intelligent Reconstruction's Visions of the Future > An Enlightened Society on the Way to Embracing Post-Human; Age of Utopic Communism

The teachings of Kit Carruthers will lead to an enlightened post-human.

We have communism because we are no longer living in a world where people have varying abilities. Everybody is doing something important for the betterment of society... Everybody is a professional and we of course have machines doing all the grunt labour so people generally don't have to do much. People have a lot of free time to just sit around and do whatever they want... And we can't have that, no, people get fat and lazy.

Extensive left and right brain exercise...

You are required to achieve the equivalent of at least one doctorate. You are required to play music, creatively express your thoughts, and practice some sort of visual media. Essentially, there are no more professional artists. Everybody is an artist and everybody's work is free. We are monotone.

Meditation ritual...

You are required to meditate for at least half an hour a day, in order to stay in touch with your emotions and increase production of grey matter.

Extensive physical training...

You are required to stay fit and healthy.

Martial arts training...

You are required to attain training up to a marginal level in a martial arts practice of your choice. If everybody completes basic martial arts training, everybody can defend themselves and we are less likely to have problems with assault, which are already quite tempered by eugenics. Muggings should be eliminated by electric shocks from brain implants and the destruction of poverty... We can't give electric shocks just because somebody wanted to fight somebody, however.

Practicing our telepathy and telekinesis...

We don't need to spend a lot of time working, so we may as well focus on attaining a new evolution.

We need a new standard clock. We need a new standard calendar. Something in base ten.

We need a new standard language.

Drug use...

Drugs will be properly integrated into society and highly restricted. Marijuana and alcohol are the only legal intoxicants. Psychedelics are used exclusively by neo-shamans, and by the general populace for coming of age ritual and psychological crisis.

The cover-up of the first cycle...

Burn all the books. Keep copies of everything in a safe deep underground.

Choice pieces of visual representation will remain... We will know there was a Jesus and a Buddha and the like... At least, we know what they supposedly look like and that they were somebody, but we will not have any idea who they were... A vague, general image will be given but nobody will know what we thought or what we did.

The majority of structures will remain. Hopefully we can get rid of big subsections of monstrosities from the 60s and 70s... And more importantly, suburban sprawl, in order to make for smarter and prettier cities. Embrace density. Having a private yard is luxury only for higher members of government.

The people will know nothing of the existence of Intelligent Reconstruction during the first cycle, obviously. We will stage a false rebellion before embracing this system. Any problems you may have with the system can be summed up by our mysterious rebellion at the beginning of the second cycle. So essentially everybody knows there's no way out, all of your concerns have been dealt with and gratified.

The rules of society will be written in a way that somewhat suggests this is only temporary. You will have to draw a lot of conclusions, however, nothing in any way definitive will be given.

And now brainwashing is much more effective, as you do not need to be an idiot to believe in the government...
