I propose that everyone should live our their lives fulfilling two purposes;
-
What they are required to do as per society (not mandated the way the jati/caste system has been enforced or racial divisions as perpetrated, this concerns the circumstances of each individual's birth and their initial start conditions)
Imagine the sheer number of increasingly essential yet 'unskilled' labour that is taken up by the oppressed which can also be taken up by the privileged, only so the oppressed find opportunities to take up jobs they really want to without worrying about the gatekeeping of the white collar jobs by the privileged. And this isn't just about intentional gatekeeping, it's also a pattern we're not fully aware of. -
What they really want to do (where the privilege of 'following your passion' can be extended equally to all, irrespective of their background)
This is where the privileged white-collar jobs can be made more accessible to the deprived in a seamless manner with adequate training from the ones majorly holding the positions (they would be teaching the aspirants, as their prescribed role may turn out to be)
This whole idea would require a complete harmony in thought, which can only occur if the privileged and the oppressed come together to use their time and resources to will this plan into existence, and to make a commitment to democratize all work for every faction of society.
This dual purpose plan is required for EVERYONE to follow.
This may result in the following events;
- A tightening of work schedules for 30% of the population.
- A tense relationship between the trainers and trainees of the new world order.
- A major loss in activity for the entertainment/attention-based industry that currently dominates most of everybody's free time (including most pleasure-oriented activities)
- A direct exposure of the lucrative and harsh realities based on opposite ends of the spectrum, which may lead to a sudden and immense depression.
- The reduction in alienation, the most important outcome.
- Teaching shall become the most valuable job.
- Underrated jobs will start getting valued higher, and previously high rated jobs will slowly reach equilibrium.
- One may argue that this could lead to a restriction on the total free time available to ALL citizens,
- Gamers need to become a huge part of this too. Redirecting all of their gaming prowess to fill themselves as dedicated players in THIS economic game would be a game-changer, literally.
- AI needs to be used for providing support to both manual and mental labour; relying completely on human inputs may lead to unreliable results. Everything in terms of strategy and gameplay, including the missions and the rules, need to be vetted by AI to ensure compliance with human rights and local/national/international laws.
The reason why the privileged must sacrifice the most;
- The amount of time, money and energy required for undertaking this collective project is one that can only be done by people who can spare the time, energy and resources, otherwise used in non-essential activities. (Instead of perceiving it as a reduction in leisure time, think of it as a redirection.)
- The only way this change can be brought forth is if we're able to
a) READ the information, the world around us, and anything else we need to do the work.
b) THINK about the way forward, how we can achieve our desired results, and focus on development of all people.
c) WRITE about the past, the present, and the future sequence of events we need to accomplish for our betterment.
d) DO the things we've listed out for our development, and then repeat the sequence all over again.

A working philosophy needs to be established and maintained by all of those who can do it.
It all starts when we READ and THINK about the current state of affairs.
But it's not enough to just get information about the problems, we must follow them in our daily lives.
Only then can we UNDERSTAND the way it is, and begin to solve the problems in plain sight.
