Premise: Revelation & Revolution

Quantum Economics is a revolutionary vision of global societal and economic

interdependence. At the core of this vision of Quantum Economics is the

founding of a global infrastructure and operating process to finally appreciate and

harness the breathtaking potential residing within quantum entangled individuals

and groups. In its simplest terms and as an actionable vision/infrastructure for

global socio-economic relations, Quantum Economics is animated by thefollowing core components:

Liberating ourselves to the influence of Consciousness and Oneness. Because

economics, in its essence, is nothing more than the physical manifestations of our

individual and group states of Consciousness, we must first truly comprehend and

accept that our present state of Consciousness has grown so infused with fear,

ego, and greed and as a consequence, our fundamental economic system

essentially mirrors that darkness of fear, ego, and greed. As the recent global

collapse of economic markets (as well as to our fundamental social and

environmental fabric) has clearly demonstrated, our present constructs of socio-

economics cannot be sustained. Quantum Economics, then, provides the visionand infrastructure to transform our individual and group states of Consciousness

to be infused with our more authentic and immortal lightness of Love and service.

This deeper state of Consciousness, then, will more effectively serve to enable

socio-economic sustainability on a global scale.

A new socio-economic valuing paradigm altering our outdated perceptions of labor.

Relative to economic activity, we have too long equated our human value with the

expenditure/saving of time and the production of physical goods. Quantum

Economics establishes a new worldview and technical infrastructure which allow

us to place our truer value (socially and/or monetarily) with the spiritual presence

we naturally possess and with the innovative energies which ever-exist in the well-springs of potentiality residing in each and every living being.

The establishment of a new infrastructure and process of socio-economic

interdependence. This new infrastructure and process enables the joining together

(sacred marriage) of our deeper states of Consciousness with economic activity.

collaborative networks, and a global network of knowledge and implementationconduits not only provide an operational framework for the masses to participate

in opportunistic economic activity, this infrastructure finally dissolves arbitrary

and synthetic borders between all peoples throughout the world. This

destructive-creative infrastructure, then, becomes the revolutionary tool to

liberate all peoples to finally become global citizens and experience the

breathtaking capacities of Oneness.

A set of initial strategies by which the Quantum Economics vision can be

incubated. In broad terms, these incubating strategies include

information/dialogue/planning events; rolling-out targeted implementation of

specific infrastructure and process tools throughout select institutions and/orsmall communities; and the implementation of a full-scale test-bed of a Quantum

Economic marketplace.

An Introduction to Quantum

Economics

The inspiration of Quantum Economics originates from three primary

experiences of the authors: a 9-year empirical-based case study of nation-building

and international development activities in Bosnia-Herzegovina conducted by the

authors; the emerging knowledge and potentiality innate within the study and

applications of quantum physics; and the authors personal journey into the

deeper and ancient fields of Quantum Consciousness.

Quantum Economics is a revolutionary vision of global societal and economic

interdependence. At the core of this vision of Quantum Economics is the

founding of a global infrastructure and operating process to finally appreciate and

harness the breathtaking potential residing within quantum entangled1

individuals and groups.

1 Quantum entanglement, also called the quantum non-local connection, is a property of a quantum

mechanical state of a system of two or more objects in which the quantum states of the constituting objects

are linked together so that one object can no longer be adequately described without full mention of its

counterparteven if the individual objects are spatially separated in a space-like manner.

Since the earliest moments of private enterprise, individuals and groups wereprimarily concerned with, first, essential survival, then, accumulation of wealth

and hence utilized the tools and benefits of private enterprise so as to survive and

accumulate. The corporation simply existed to serve as the operating vessel to

earn revenue; labor was merely a tool of the corporation.

Taking into account the ever-evolving quantum-conscious individual as well as

self-organizing2 collaborative networks, however, the traditional employee can be

increasingly recognized as something much greater than a mere tool of the

corporation. Quantum science seems to suggest a much more substantial wealth

may actually reside within the latent energy housed within the individual/group.

Thus, the heretofore unrealized potential of economic activity and civilization as awhole is to be found in the moment-to-moment entanglements which possess the

capacity to reveal and exploit this latent energy, and thus transform our economic

activity and our very lives from a basis oftoken value to authentic value. This more

authentic value, then, substantially transforms the value references of society

itself.

The vision and models presented within Quantum Economics are not quick

fixes, and indeed, they require a total letting go and transformation of all our

very intentions as they relate to our individual identities and how they may become

truly inclusive and interdependent (as opposed to exclusive and exploitive) with our

wider socio-economic relationships with others, on both a local and global basis.As a consequence of transforming our very intentions of socio-economic

dynamics, we will require a totally new infrastructure and process of how this

creative and innovative potential is distributed, actualized, and made

interdependent on a global basis.

Indeed, it is almost unavoidable to observe the global challenges facing the human

race are now so severe as well as convergent (issues ranging from and merging

into: economic destabilization and poverty, environmental resources ruin and

scarcity, societal degradation and increasing fear, nation-state failures, rise of

international corruption, and the growing inconsequence of western

governments to solve these severe and convergent issues), and thus, the presentsystems of world order are no longer sustainable or even desirable. But it is

perhaps too easy to view the severity of our global economic challenges from the

perspective of the consequences of our states of consciousness and resultingactions. In 1936, John Maynard Keynes predicted this very scenario based on his

observations of fundamental economics.

Keynes observed two inherent weaknesses of democratic capitalism. The first

weakness was that the average consumer was both erratic and overtly price-

conscious in their consumption habits. Consequently, corporations can really

only react to erratic consumer demands, and this reactionary mode is what Keynes

observed weakens the overall efficiency of democratic capitalism. Authoritarian

forms of capitalism (such as which exist in China and Russia, as examples) are

more efficient in their applications of economicsfor each economic activity and

actor is carefully orchestrated to result in a specific consequence. Citizens withindemocratic capitalistic markets, however, would not normally view their system as

inefficient, but rather that their system provides choice to consumers. But the

choice is illusory. Choosing which

brand of consumable product is

perhaps a choice, of sorts. But the

average citizen cannot as easily

choose an alternative form of

energy for their personal

transportation vehicle, or the level

of disciplines and sophistication oftheir childrens local public school.

More to the point, the average

consumer does not often (if at all)

feel they can experience choice

relative to their very own

livelihoods; we often feel social

pressure to settle for and

vigorously maintain whatever job

might provide us with the most

money rather than choose a more

enlightened path to pursue andfulfill our natural gifts and dreams.

Money itself becomes the objective

rather than giving rise to our

deeper selves. As a consequence,

standardization and conformity, rather than diversity and curiosity are what more

accurately define societies today.

Societys compulsive focus on money is what leads to Keynes second observationof the weaknesses inherent within democratic capitalism. The average

consumeras they contemplate purchasing a television, as an example

possesses the primary objective to spend the least amount of money for the most

product. A military general, however, does not initially or even substantially

contemplate the issue of money; the generals primary focus is on fulfilling what

the general perceives is an honorable duty.

And this is where Keynes, way back in 1936, was attempting to lead society to

finally recognize about itself and its economic activity: our economic activity is

merely a mirror of our deeper intentions. Since the majority of the human race

seems to only possess the selfish intention of accumulating things (even to thepoint of obesity); and since material things are merely transitory, the resulting

economy will also be transitory, unstable, and eventually unfulfilling. However,

for the single largest group of people who possess what they believe to be the

honor of performing service to others (military, civil police, health care, etc.), the

resulting economy is perceived not only stable and ever-expanding, but personally

fulfilling. For centuries, the only real economic activity that has provided

consistent aggregate demand3 within a nation-state market has been the military-

industrial complex. Whether we might agree or disagree with the essential morals

of war and militaries, the economic mantra: war is good for the economy, has

always been true and unimpeachable.Because authentic honor rarely exists in the average workplace, our very bodies,

our very souls begin to atrophy and weaken to the concept of honor. When moral

challenges arise in the workplace (disregard for consumer safety or the reckless

destruction of the environment, as examples), we most often find ourselves

keeping our heads down and our mouths shut, for fear of jeopardizing our jobs

and money. We allow money to compromise our senses of morality and ethics.

This absolute attention to money has been the centerpiece to our training from

the very beginning. As the philosopher Alan Watts observed, our focus on the

destination rather than the journey itself has been the greatest hoax self-

perpetrated upon humankind.

3 Aggregate demand: essentially the state-wide and community-wide capacities of disposable income to

demand the production and increase in supply of goods and services on a sustainable basis.

Video 1 - Alan Watts, selected clip from "The Human Game"

As a consequence of our own self-perpetuation of the hoaxour obsession with

money and things (the American Dream)we often find ourselves seemingly

trapped within a hostile rat race and personally unfulfilled. Yet we aggressively

protect this hostile and unfulfilling rate race. Because we are afraid. We fear the

unknown. It is interesting to note that our modern spelling and definition of the

word chaos is: a state of utter confusion or disorder; a total lack of organization

or order. However, the original Greek spelling and definition is: Khaos; a void,an abyss, the unknown. Do we fear the unknown so much that we tell ourselves

that the unknown is chaos?

Is perhaps the real unknown not out there, but within each one of us? If not

money or things could drive civilization, what alternative might there be which

provides for both honor as well as aggregate demand? This is what Quantum

Economics answers.

Genuine change and sustainability can only occur when governments,

corporations, institutions, and individuals alike let go of their outdated and futile

defense of artificial intentions and bordersand finally acknowledge the divinity

and Oneness of us all. A profoundly divergent and all-enfranchising global socio-

economic paradigm is now essential to both heal the world as well as liberate us all

to our divine potential. This Quantum Economics Initiative addresses both the

transformation of universal foundations of Consciousness and the tangible fruits

manifested from our states of Consciousness (individual and collective). Indeed,

as will be explained just below, Quantum Economics is itself a sacred marriage.

Consciousness-centered Quantum

Economics

Consciousness & EconomicsFirst and foremost to grasp about Quantum Economics is the guiding

relationship between our individual states of consciousness and all that which we

physically manifest. Meaning, the physical manifestations of our modern

economic markets have been fundamentally shaped (even controlled) by societys

present state of unconsciousness and our addictive attachments to fear, ego, and

greed. Seemingly punitive, yet overtly forthright examples of these unsustainable

attachments:

For centuries, individual cultures and nation-states have drawn andaggressively protected artificial borders between themselves and the others.

Economics, however, is naturally blind to borders; any person, anywhere in

the world, could produce or consume any product at any time of day or

nightno matter their culture, ethnicity, or even faith. Again, quantum

science has proven for us all that all of life is inner-connected (entangled), and

that no actual borders between us have ever existed. So, why do we continue

to be so aggressive about seeing ourselves separate from others? In Ibn

Khalduns4 great work, The Muqaddimah (Prolegomena, or Prologue), 1377,

he established a vital understanding of socio-economic relationships that

define conflict, and its opposite, union:

Know, then that the difference between people arises principally from the difference in their

occupations; for their very union springs out of the need for co-operation in the securing of

a livelihood.

These relationships between livelihood and conflict or union, as well as the

failures in world order mechanics, are vibrant indicators that 21st Century

civilization may now be teetering on the verge of what Ibn Khaldun referred

4 Ibn Khaldn (b. 1332/732AH d. 1406/808AH), Arab historiographer and socio-economist born in

present-day Tunisia. His central work was his Kitab al-Ibar (Universal History) intimately detailing the

history of Muslim North Africa and the Berbers. Its six volumes, however, have been overshadowed by the

immense significance of the Muqaddamah (which he meant merely as a prologue to the Universal

History). In this prologue, Ibn Khaldun outlined a philosophy of history and theory of society that are

unprecedented in ancient and medieval writing and that are even now relevant in understanding modern

sociology. The rise and fall of societies, he believed, follow laws that can be empirically discovered and that

reflect economic causes and effects.

to as the fourth stage in his First Law of Historical Cycles: civilizational declineleading to ultimate collapse:

Civilizations must go through four stages: the first stage is the emergence of a new

civilization and society. The second stage covers a period of growth and prosperity.

Stagnation and decadence characterize the third stage where wealth can no longer increase.

The fourth stage is one of decline leading to an ultimate collapse. Finally, a new

civilization emerges from the ashes of the previous one and another cycle is born. The

conditions of the world and of the nations do not persist in one unchanging state, but are

transformed with the passage of time and move from one condition to another.

Over the past decade alone, obesity has exponentially grown to be a leadingpreventable cause of death worldwide, with increasing prevalence in adultsand children, and authorities view it as one of the most serious public health

problems of the 21st century. In addition to its health impacts, obesity leads

to many problems including disadvantages in employment and increased

business costs. These effects are felt by all levels of society from individuals, to

corporations, to governments. The estimate range for annual expenditures

on diet products is $40 billion to $100 billion in the US alone. Collective

society easily sees obesity as a profound dysfunction of humankind. Yet, we

still remain addicted to unhealthy fast food practices, non-productive

television and computer gaming fixations, and the like, rather than engage

and serve in the world. Might our increasing mass of obesity actually be the

manifestations of our collective fears and selfishness? What is it going to takefor us to finally make manifest that which indeed serves others rather than

ourselves? More pharmaceutical treatments? Or, perhaps a profound and

liberating awakening of our Consciousness?

It does not require a lengthy explanation to comprehend what animated themost devastating global banking and housing market collapse since the

1930s. Absolute and unrepentant greed and contempt for others still

continues to motivate much of the banking industry. No longer do banks

serve society; rather, and astonishingly, society itself collectively serves an

extremely small group of elites. Who are these elites? A remarkably small

and select group of institutional managers now dominate public stockownership. No more than 100 fund managers alone hold 52 % of all shares,

equaling $6.8 trillion in U.S. equities. This small handful of oversized

investors has the realnot merely the theoreticalpower to exercise

dominion over the corporations they own as well as society in general.

Institutional investors as a group now own about 66 % of the total of U.S.

stock. Individual investors, who held virtually 100 % of all shares in 1932,


12/45

The Q Reve la t ion

now constitute just 34 % of the total. Sea change is an understatement; wehave truly witnessed a revolution in stock ownership. Again, these facts raise

profound questions for us all: do we essentially abdicate our individual and

collective power to elites simply because we cannot be bothered with the

personal responsibility power naturally requires? Because we selfishly turn

our backs upon social responsibilities, do we not actually co-create our own

social ruin? Can we honestly blame elites for their absolute materialism, if we

ourselves are not willing to also shoulder accountability for operating in life so

unconsciously and so fearfully?

The human impact upon our shared environment is also an issue that canclearly be defined in terms of fear, ego, and greed. It is in our unconsciousrush to relentlessly expand our terrestrial footprint simply for the sake of

economic growth that we fail to comprehend in its deeper essence, economic

growth for the sake of economic growth actually represents a vain attempt to

protect individual job security and assuage our fears associated with

substantiating often meaningless jobs. Deep down, we all know as a

consequence of the fears we so assiduously sustain, we are undermining the

very foundations of life itself. In our unconscious states, we so deeply fear

losing our ability to mindlessly consume if the admittedly unfulfilling jobs we

possess are somehow jeopardized by caring about such aspects as the

environment, that we simply turn our backs away from personalresponsibility and universal love. It can be of no surprise, then, that the

pollutants we spew out into our shared environment, are in actuality, tangible

manifestations of the pollutants within our unconscious selves. As our states

of consciousness awaken (individually and collectively), we can well

comprehend that only the divinity of Love can wash away these pollutants

from within ourselves as well as from our external manifestations. If we were

to at last let go of our fears and artificial blankets of security, the wondrous

question finally becomes: what more authentic and fulfilling forms of

livelihood await us all? In the realm of Khaos, what more organismic form of

economic activity exists which not only provides for our individual and social

well-being and sustainability, but also provides for the well-being andsustainability of our shared environment? Quantum Economics may indeed

be the first actionable alternative which finally can allow us to see into the

realm of Khaos and liberate us to answer these long-evaded questions.

From these few (and admittedly harshly worded) examples of our lower and self-

seeking states of unconsciousness, then, it is simply inevitable that economic

markets degrade in their capacity to serve and sustain global societies as a whole.


13/45

The Q Reve la t ion

10

In short, and as punitive as it may feel, our individual and collective forces of fear,ego, and greed are essentially sucking the juice out of what we manifest

throughout the world. Life has finally been reduced to nothing more than a self-

replicating rat race and dog-eat-dog existence for all of humanity. Our very

ecosystems are purposefully risked merely so that a specific group of people can

temporarily benefit from the generation of economic wealth and more things.

We have been self-made a captive to the needs of immediate gratification

(receiving) rather than self-liberated to the experience of peace, wisdom, and love

(serving).

At this very moment, a substantial percentage of Western society is trapped in

their own self-created rat race: working in jobs they often do not enjoysimplyfor the accumulation of money so as to consume more things. Because we desire

to consume things, we produce things. But if we were to shift our intentions to

allowing our more authentic selves and dreams to manifest, the very production of

society would also shift. Instead of obsessing over things as we presently do, our

human civilization could finally venture into heretofore uncharted territory: the

frontier of our own truer selves (the authentic Khaos).

If we were to shift our states of consciousness to a higher and deeper realm of love

and reverence for all of life, then all that which we manifest will itself be imbued

with love and reverenceand thus serving and sustaining all global societies. At

our innermost (quantum energetic) level, all of humanity possesses the capacity toexperience its natural state of unity (Oneness). Nothing but our own minds are

preventing us from truly experiencing the liberation of Oneness right now at this

immediate moment all we have to do is turn-on that part of ourselves which for

centuries we have judged to be nave and useless: our very Beings.

Each nations and each communitys market now nervously waits for some

messianic government leader to pull the world from our self-made economic,

environmental, and societal abyssand lead us all once again into a Promised

Land of prosperity and freedom. But, this too, is delusion. No messianic

government leaderno matter how well-intentionedcan ever deliver us to the

Promised Land. For a simple reason: the Promised Land is withinus. No onecan deliver something that we already possess. Only we as individuals and as a

collective society can rediscover the natural and ancient energies of divine Love;

only our Oneness can transform our very selves, and by so doing, transform the

very product of our economic activity.

Jiddu Krishnamurti (18951986), the renowned writer and speaker on

philosophical and spiritual subjects, constantly stressed the need for a revolution

in the psyche of every humanbeingand emphasized that such revolution cannot bebrought about by any external entity, be it religious, political, or social.

Video 2 - Jiddu Krishnamurti, selected clip from film "Zeitgeist Addendum"

Defining Authentic ValueRelative to economic activity, we have too long equated our human value with the

expenditure/saving of time and the production of physical goods; we are

seemingly loathe to place our truer value (socially and/or monetarily) with thespiritual presence we naturally possess and with the innovative energies which

ever-exist in the well-springs of potentiality residing in each and every living being.

The following brief examples clearly illustrate our unconscious adherence to out-

dated (and limiting) economic valuing paradigms; and these examples, then, begin

to hint at how Quantum Economics can shift our focus from restrictive time and

physical production to authentic (and inexhaustible) livelihood and

consciousness-centered socio-economic interdependence.

Labor Value. One of the more common and exploited formula of assessing the

value of human labor: cost of labor is calculated between 40 and 60 % of the total

product cost. A salary (or fixed pay), in its very essence, is merely a token of an

individuals authentic or even potential valueand this, perhaps, is the most

tangible indicator of just how and why a persons authentic value is so elusive from

the global economies of today. Since the earliest days of the Industrial Age,

economic actors have struggled with determining the value of non-shareholding

participants (administrative, managerial, creative, etc.), and fixed pay was simply

one of several options which took root in that time period. For at least 150 years,


15/45

The Q Reve la t ion

12

then, the logic and system of determining value of non-shareholding participantshas essentially remained the centerpiece of how a fairly large segment of society is

valued. Along the way, we might have tinkered slightly with the token salary

valuation process, but generally speaking, fixed pay has come to be seen as part of

a total rewards system which includes variable pay (such as bonuses, incentive

pay, and commissions), benefits and perquisites (or perks), and various other

tools which help employers link rewards to an employee's measured performance.

But two simple examples can be used to literally discredit any true sustainability

to this modern usage of fixed paythe first example relates to Dan Pink5 and his

surprising revelations regarding the science underpinning business incentives and

how woefully outdated is our way of managing business economics and socialmotivations.

Video 3 - Dan Pink, selected clip from TED Talks (www.ted.com)

As the above Dan Pink video so clearly questions: why do we not only continue to

hold onto outdated practices of incentivizing economic actors along the

production/service chain, we also blatantly ignore years of scientific data whichclearly demonstrates the utter incompetence (even counter-productivity) of our

business and human resources management? Why does each new generation

blindly accept and conform to systems and processes that are proven to be largely

The Q Reve la t ion

13

ineffective and perhaps even counter-productive? Why do we constantly abdicateour natural responsibility to (as Immanuel Kant would observe) think for

ourselves?

The second example of the economic (and social/personal) ineffectiveness of fixed

pay can be illustrated in the following hypothetical situation: an employee (a

computer technician) is eating lunch at a dining table in the company cafeteria

and happens to be sitting across from a colleague (a member of the marketing

team) who worriedly reveals that one of the companys productssay, a line of

winter sweatersin spite of its high quality and low sales price, is not selling well.

In response, the computer technician tells the colleague a story about his/her

mother who had a sweater which was handed-down to her by her mother. Eachtime the sweater was handed-down, mother passed to the daughter memories

experienced wearing the sweater (first kiss, a reflective time on the banks of a

winding river, a night the electricity failed). The marketing colleague listens to

the story, and later that day, meets with the advertising team, and relates the

mother-daughter story. The advertising team, in turn, exploits the idea to design

a new advertising campaignwhich turns out to be successful in increasing sales

(and also painting a romantic public relations image for the company). In this

example, where the companys computer technician simply shared a personal

story with a colleague, which was later used in an advertising campaign, what is

the value of the computer technician? Can this informal value be formally valued

by the company? Can this value be quantified? If so, how would this value relate

to the outdated paradigms of fixed pay as well as division of labor?

The end of Labor? A glaring weakness of democratic capitalistic markets

dramatically revealed to us all over the past decade has been (a) the transfer of

low- and medium-skilled jobs to low-wage labor markets, and (b) the ever-

increasing use of advanced robotics to replace human labor. For generations, we

have struggled so desperately to protect our jobs. What might be the

consequence if we liberate ourselves from that vain struggle, and envision a world

economy where disposable income for all people is not dependent upon labor?

Why do we spend so much time and political capital in a futile effort to protectthat which only binds us to an unfulfilling rat race?

The real cost of production & consumption. We have for centuries assessed the

cost of a product to include only the production and delivery costs incurred by the

company. But we have been resistant to also include into the retail price of

products/services the cost/benefit/relevance to society at large. We have

conventionally relegated this value responsibility to governments and taxation


17/45

The Q Reve la t ion

14

regulationsonce again separating our own personal responsibility from the day-to-day circumstances of valuation and placing the burden of social responsibility

upon the elites in government. The more we separate ourselves from the world,

the more isolated and selfish we become and the more unconscious we become.

The universe and our economies are all part of the same fabric; we are all One.

Conversely, the more conscious we become, the more responsible we become

and the more selfless and service-minded we become.

Authentic value leads to authentic identityThe above observations relating to value, then, leads us to ask a long-forgotten

question: who are we? Not our nominal or imitative selves, but rather, ourauthentic and divine selves; our deeper and ancient selves who seek not material

accumulations, but instead, who seek nothing else but to serve life with

significance and love. Quantum economics reveals an economic paradigm whose

construction would facilitate both these divine ideals as well as a fully conscious

utilization of economic resources and activity. Quantum economics does not seek

to inhibit or redistribute outdated forms of wealth, but rather, to liberate

throughout global communities and economies a much more profound and

limitless form of wealth: our very selves. By creating these new energies of

limitless wealth, obsolete forms of wealth will not require purposeful limitations

or redistribution, but will naturally die a natural death.

For millennia, the universe has evolved; and for centuries, even economics has

sought to evolve. Our own fears, ego, and greed, however, have fought unwisely

and vainly to elude our own natural evolution. Today, we continue an

indefensible attempt to abide by outdated concepts and valuations of economic

activityto the extent that we have jeopardized and disgraced our own social and

personal existence. All that is necessary for us to recognize the degree to which

we eschew the natural evolution of economic paradigms is to view the major

milestones of modern-era economic markets:

Capitalism 1.0, prior to the 1800s, was essentially defined by farmers selling any

agricultural surplus and artisans selling their hand-made crafts into the

marketplace. Marketplaces were both local as well as global, where growth was

financed generally by merchants themselves, and facilitated by international

trading companies and early banks which then did not generally provide capital,

but rather acted as a legal fiduciary between the parties.

Capitalism 2.0, during the era of Industrialization, was best characterized by two

profound changes to societal and economic relations:


18/45

The Q Reve la t ion

15

From the later 1800s, mass utilization of the German corporate template, thelimited liability company, so as to quickly capitalize companies while at the

same time shielding risk for the stockholders of the companies. This model

of a limited liability company was effective when capital was somewhat

limited throughout the early 1900s, but since the era of the Cold War and

beyond, capital has been extremely abundant, and thus it is no longer vital to

purposefully shield risk from the stockholders.

Adam Smith and his Wealth of Nations provided the foundation for therecognition that nation-state governments could be strengthened and exert

power on the world stage by specifically valuating gross domestic product;

and thus, a specific tool of corporate efficiency, division of labor, would bothbring about the rapid rise of GDP as a national indicator of

economic/political power and alter our perceptions of labor for generations.

Labor was no longer seen as a function of following ones authentic identity or

spiritual life calling, or even mere survival, but rather as a specific commodity

and function of building and maintaining nation-state power in competition

with other nation-states. Importantly, this competition was not limited to

mere economic competition, but was at its core, a competition between

ideologies, cultures, and even faiths; borders became vital to draw and

protect. Further, this is where growth for the sake of growth became a

predominate tool to grow GDP and thus nation-state power. Adam Smithalso foresaw negative consequences to a commercial society driven by the

morals of pure self-interest and corporate efficiencies. The further social

order became dependent upon a commercial society, the more incapable

societies would become to consider the greater good of society as a whole

that individual self-interest would become not simply a means to an end, but

the end itself. Smith was particularly concerned that the long-term practice

of division of labor would result in individual labor units not able to see and

comprehend the bigger pictureonly their own individual myopic

viewpoints. Smith may indeed have provided us with an effective paradigm to

generate wealth and power. But he also provided us with a vital warning.

Capitalism 3.0, beginning during the World Wars and exponentially growing

during the Cold War era, is best defined by the massive predominance of the

military-industrial complex in relation to job creation, retention, and growth.

Essentially this is Adam Smiths principles of the economic power of nation-

states but on steroids. Supported by John Maynard Keynes and his General

Theory Of Employment, Interest & Money, the average private consumer was

unpredictable and could not guarantee specific targets of production output

(Adam Smiths GDP), and thus, the State would conveniently need to take onthis geopolitical objective and guarantee job growth within the arenas of the

military-industrial complex. Now, competition between nation-states was vital to

maintain essentially to maintain job stability and growth. The production of

consumer-based products was simply gravy to the real meat and potatoes

supplied by the massive output and global architecture of the military-industrial

complex.

Capitalism 4.0, beginning at the cessation of the Cold War in late 1989, can be

presently defined as consumerism for the sake of consumerism or mindless

consumerismthe inevitable extreme of Adam Smiths commercial society. As

the necessity for massive military infrastructures and troops seemed minimized bythe end of the Cold War, the obvious consequence was that the predominant role

played by the military-industrial complex was also to be minimized. But in

shrinking the global output of the military-industrial complex, global economies

have indeed been abruptly destabilized. Where consumerism was only a

supportive dynamic within global Cold War era economic markets, within post-

Cold War era economic markets, however, consumerism funded almost entirely

by massive amounts of personal and national debt has now been forced to take the

leading role as the driver of economic markets. Obviously, this type of self-

feeding driver of economic markets cannot be sustained.

Essentially, from a macro-economic perspective, we are now attempting to

consume simply so that what jobs presently exist can somehow be protected.

From a socio-economic perspective, we now have a macro-economic excuse to

grow even more obese, dig ourselves ever deeper into a Social Darwinist dog-eat-dog existence, and savagely destroy any aspect of our shared environment and

natural resources which might provide a select few of us with just one more day of

job security.

forms of currency, new energies, new livelihoods, new communities, newopportunities, new challenges, new passions, new courage, new loves, new

families, and new intentions will all experience their long-awaited birth. A new

existence for us all is possible. From applications of Quantum Economics, a new

form of socio-economic interdependence is facilitated.

Socio-economic interdependence, our more natural potential, does not depend on

the division of labor so as to increase production efficiencies. For each person

possesses untapped assets well beyond the tip of the iceberg and their

conventional job titles and even more importantly, each person is divinely

entangled with all others on the quantum level, and thus, it is the unification of

energy (not division of labor) which is facilitated via Quantum Economics. Theproductivity emanating from this united energy can only be breathtaking. What

long-waiting potentiality resides beneath the tip of the iceberg?

Figure 5 - Human value: we have, so far, only glimpsed the tip of the iceberg

Socio-economic interdependence, our more authentic relationship with the

universe, does not seek to isolate groups of people within artificial and arbitrary

borders so as to enable our individual and collective fears, ego, and greed. For

each person possesses an anciently conceived force of some particular essence or

essencesand those essences of potentiality are what interact and collide with

other essences so as to co-create another essence of potentiality, which in turn,may interact and collide with others so as to co-create another essence of

potentiality which lies dormant for a while, then, when the quantum field aligns

to accept this dormant essence of potentiality: potentiality is made manifest from

Consciousness. In the quantum field, no artificial or arbitrary borders exist. Only

all of us and our divine potentiality exist in the quantum field of Oneness.

Potentiality, like quantum aspects of sub-atomic behavior, exists simultaneously

within the individual and also within the collective. If humanity were to mimicquantum aspects of sub-atomic behavior, and begin to play with their entangled

states, we would finally discover that our individual livelihoods would naturally be

interdependent with all other livelihoods, no matter where or even when others

may exist. This is just as Ibn Khaldun wisely observed:

Know, then that the difference between people arises principally from the

difference in their occupations; for their very union springs out of the need for

co-operation in the securing of a livelihood.

Socio-economic interdependence, our self-liberation to serve others rather than

ourselves, is what will free us from fear, ego, and greed (hell), and is what willallow Love to finally be our true purpose (Heaven). As we rediscover our

capacities to Love, we shall also rediscover our more authentic identities

patiently waiting to be expressed throughout the universe.

A New Infrastructure & Process to Facilitate Socio-

economic Interdependency

The birds eye view: Infrastructure

The Internet and social networking applications such as Facebook or LinkedIn,

etc., have been expanding to include millions of online users. There is a distinct

difference, however, between social networks (which are focused entirely on

enabling conversations) and Collaborative Networks. Collaborative Networks are

focused on groups accessing and organizing data into actionable formats thatenable decision making, collaboration and reuse. Collaborative Networks will

increasingly be critically important to consciousness-centered economic actors

(individual and corporate) by helping to establish a culture of innovation and by

delivering operational excellence. Compare the consumer-oriented social

Economic actors deploying Collaborative Networks will be at a distinct advantage

in their markets. Social networking has clearly been extremely popular. Indeed,

most of us value social media tools in our personal and professional lives for aiding

us in connecting with friends and colleagues as well as more easily disseminating

information. Social media technologies have been revolutionary in the consumer

web space and are useful in creating engaging online (borderless) communities.However, isolated pockets of socialization within business bring little value to the

organization as a whole. Economic actors have far different problems to solve

than those addressed by social software. Compare the social software missives on

Video 4 - Clay Shirky, selected clip from TED Talks (www.ted.com)

Self-organization is a process of attraction and repulsion in which the internal

organization of a system, normally an open system, increases in complexity

without being guided or managed by an outside source. Self-organizing systems

typically (but not always) display emergent properties6.

The most robust and unambiguous examples of self-organizing systems are from

physics. Self-organization is also relevant in chemistry, where it has often been

taken as being synonymous with self-assembly. The concept of self-organization

is central to the description of biological systems, from the subcellular to the

ecosystem level. There are also cited examples of "self-organizing" behavior found

in the literature of many other disciplines, both in the natural sciences and the

social sciences such as economics or anthropology.

Three brief examples of self-organizing systems:

The international drug trade and informal banking systems (informalremittance systems which have been existent since 5800 BC) are global

networks of individuals which have self-organized to exploit specificeconomic opportunities. Developing countries in particular are extremely

adept at utilizing self-organizing systems so as to avoid lengthy government

bureaucracy within the arenas of business and economics. In Bosnia-

Herzegovina, as an example, one can hand a bus driver an envelope of cash(along with a tip) and direct the bus driver to hand the envelope to person X

in another location along the bus route, and 100 % of the time, the envelope is

delivered to the intended person. Or instead of converting foreign currency in

a formal bank where exchange rates are high, one can exchange foreign

currency at local gas/petrol stations where entire networks of currency

traders operate. This type of activity can also be found in most large cities in

the U.S. So, the question becomes: could almost any and every economic

activity throughout global markets be facilitated by self-organizing systems?

Recently, a U.S. metropolitan city privatized its parking meter collection andmaintenance services to a for-profit corporation. Local merchants werecritical of the privatization, fearing rising parking costs to customers that

frequent their stores. Indeed, the costs eventually doubled, and consequently,

a negative impact upon merchant sales was felt. But why didnt these same

merchants simply unite together in a self-organizing investment cooperative

to service the parking meters themselves? The merchants could have still

earned a reasonable profit from the opportunity, while consciously balancing

these profits with more attractive customer pricing. This could have been a

win-win option for both limiting government as well as seeking private sector

alternatives.

Individual and community-level fabrication labs (via MIT, see:http://fab.cba.mit.edu/about/faq/). Where will the big technical

innovations of the future come from? Rather than multi-million dollar labs

with state-of-the-art equipment they could come from a network of ideas and

a new democratization of technology. Empowering and educating the masses

are the aims of Neil Gershenfeld's Fabrication Laboratory (Fab Lab) project

at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Center for Bits and Atoms. At

the heart of the project is a new form of multi-purpose fabrication machine

that has the potential to make anything. Using a range of raw materials and

acting like a 3D printing machine, "fab machines" can be programmed to

make whatever its designers desire. Using open source software and utilizinga network of labs to help develop and test ideas, the fab lab project is

empowering people who perhaps before would have been just consumers of

technology rather than creators. Fab Labs are operating today in multiple

locations around the world, from Norway and Ghana to India and South

Africa, different communities have used the labs to address a range of

problems, some local and some more universal. The lab in Takoradi, Ghana

has been used by college students to create an affordable antenna for use in

areas where Internet and satellite communication is prohibitively expensive.In India, an electronic sensor to test the quality of milk has been developed

that could ensure contaminated milk does not spoil larger batches sold to

wholesalers by farmers. As well as tapping into local knowledge and

developing technical skills, fab labs offer the development of micro-business

models and economic generation. The long-term goal is about economic

empowerment. In South Africa the government saw digital fabrication

techniques as a strategy to kick-start that part of their economy.

The real challenge for economic actors, particularly the small business sector, is to

break away from their self-imposed isolation and to join forces with each other so

as to introduce greater efficiencies throughout the supply chain process. Theseself-organizing systems, then, would help to dramatically open up new channels of

interdependent activity within markets in such a way that consciously exploits

opportunistic societal and economic potentialities wherever and whenever they

may manifest. The following Figure 7 illustrates a simple example of how our

outdated banking systems might be replaced by self-organizing collaborative

networks:

Figure 7 - Outdated banking systems versus self-organizing collaborative networks

As the above example demonstrates, we continue to be self-imprisoned by

outdated systems, when the technology already exists for all of us to self-empower

ourselves to co-create anything we desire, whenever we desire it. No arbitrary or

illusory boundaries/institutions need to exist. Why do we continue to facilitate a

banking system that is essentially based on aspects of fear (banks fear a run on the

bank, which we feed that fear by fearing what the bank does with our money). In


27/45

potentiality, however, we are both fearless and limitless as to what we can co-create as a community of people. All we require to exist in this limitless state is to

free our minds. The question becomes: in this limitless state of consciousness,

what exactly will we choose to co-create?

Figure 8 - Self-restraining socio-economic interdependence

Ground-level view: infrastructure & process

Any eventual Quantum Economic development strategy will require a diverse-

aware process network (the information and action sharing highway). The

essential components of an interdependency-focused local-to-global personal

action network(which mimics the post-World War II Marshall Plans skeletalstructure and process of the US Economic Cooperation Administration (ECA)

and its relationship with the Organization for European Cooperation (OEEC)):

1. A series of knowledge, technology, and transformational resources conduits.Each conduit is comprised of a cluster of corporations, universities,

government agencies, private individualsall channeling best practices from

location to location (via Internet and on-the-ground strategy teams).

2. A series of execution strategy facilitator strategy teams (decentralized:regional, state, local, and corporate level teams). Each strategy team is

comprised of a mixture of local and international facilitatorseach facilitator

possessing the creative and filtering capacity to comprehend diverse sourcesof knowledge and technology, and help to facilitate best practice

interdependency (facilitators operate somewhat like a road intersection traffic

signaling process).

3. Embedded within each conduit and strategy team are clusters of humancommunications, marketing, and social/cultural liaison teams. These teams

liaise throughout three types of groups: participants within conduits,


28/45

The Q Reve la t ion

25

participants within strategy teams, and the general public (locally andglobally). Liaisons maintain the human touch to ensure diverse groups

effective collaboration and interdependency.

The intention of dedicating a specific focus to the above tools & process is that any

target location will require the mobilization of all its capable human,

technological, and capital resources. Thus, a process-driven, rather than event-

driven economic development strategy will provide for a more enlightened design

of economic and social priorities.

Figure 9 Conduits for interdependent resource mobilization

A process-driven development and integration of local-to-global strategies

provides the following tools:

1. Conduits for technology and know-how transfer2. Conduits for market access, domestic and international3. Networks for corporate mentoring

26

4. Networks for targeted training of human resources5. Networks for research and development6. Local, state, and multilateral government and regulation teams (regulatory

integration becomes rational on a global basis when all nation-states begin to

develop their own intellectual property).

Although the primary objective of a diverse-aware process network is to allow for

the greatest amount of decentralization to thrive, it is somewhat logical that some

form of central clearinghouse of strategies and resources will be required

particularly so as to consistently review the decentralized process foraccountability and overall effectiveness. This central clearinghouse might operate

somewhat like the U.S. Automated Clearinghouse7.

Sub-atomic-level view: process & accountability

Here, again, we can learn from quantum physics. As highlighted early in this

document, quantum entanglement, also called the quantum non-local connection,

is a property of a quantum mechanical state of a system of two or more objects in

which the quantum states of the constituting objects are linked together so that

one object can no longer be adequately described without full mention of its

counterparteven if the individual objects are spatially separated in a space-like

manner. It has been difficult to illustrate what entanglement physically looks like.

However, one of many examples of entanglement might look like Figure 10:

Thus, if we were to apply this type of interdependency model to economics, theresulting relationships could be envisaged:

The Brunnian modelviewed from an economic perspectiveshows four forks

which intersect with each other at various points. Each fork represents a single

corporate entity and a single economic actor (employee/consultant/informal

resource) of that corporation. The blue tine of the fork represents the

corporation itself and the green tine the economic actor. It is noticeable, then,

each blue and green tine intersects with others in different wayssometimes a

green-economic actor from one corporation intersects with a second blue-

corporation; sometimes with a second green-economic actor; sometimes both.

The corporation, too, intersects with others in multiple ways. The geometric

arrangement of the forks, then, impacts how the intersections are distributed

between blue-corporations and green-economic actors. The variation shown in

this illustration, then, is the median average of the distribution potential of

corporation and economic actor intersections. This Brunnian model of four

intersecting economic actor/corporation forks can be referred to as a node. If a

corporation is comprised of, say, 400 economic actors, then 400 nodes would not

only reflect the economic actor makeup of the corporation, they would also reflect

400 unique relationships with corporations and economic actors external to the

corporation. It should also be stated here that how these 400 nodes within asingle corporation are arranged geometricallyand how they impact the 400

external corporation-economic actor relationships, and how these external

relationships intersect with their own external relationshipsthe potential

geometric permutations of these diverse relationships cannot be seen as linear or

even exponential, but truly infinite.

Knowledge, Wisdom, Energy, Love: Exchangeable CurrenciesMove the microscope even closer, and we begin to envisage the actual socio-

economic transactions as they manifest by and between various economic actors

operating within a Brunnian model of entanglement. In any given moment, adiverse wellspring of knowledge or data is produced within a corporation/group

which, in and of itself, possesses diverse forms and intensities of value, but most

often remains unseen and untapped. Referencing back to exposing value beyond

the tip of the iceberg as illustrated in Figure 5, an item of knowledge-value

moving unseen within a corporation might be an employees lifetime of experience

in team sports coaching; or an item of data-value might be a database of friends,

family, and professional colleagues. At a business meeting, how valuable might it

be for someone at the meeting to do nothing but radiate positive energy and Love?

How might Love radiate amongst and through the participants of the business

meeting so as to enable true wisdom to be accessed and recognized throughout

the group? Obviously, our conventional attitudes of business would find thesetypes of questions both off-point and non-business-like. And this is precisely

where Quantum Economics forces us to genuinely enable these other forms of

intention, activity, and valuefor it is this consciousness-centered socio-

economic interdependence which absolutely transforms our very definitions of

business and value.

Consider this: almost any corporation most likely requires its employee base to

receive some level of skill sets training. Most corporations (particularly the

smaller they are), tend to focus exclusively on what they consider to be their core

business, and thus view its training requirements as a cost to the company. In

Quantum Economics, however, this know-how relating to the operations of skillsets training is potentially a revenue generating asset. The corporation could very

well package its training know-how either as part of its business mix, or spin off or

sell the asset. Even though virtually all corporations and all employees/economic

actors possess some type of knowledge and/or data, exceedingly few corporations

have established processes through which these assets are accumulated, assessed,

and exploited. This example of technology/knowledge transfer, then, becomes a


32/45

The Q Reve la t ion

29

lucid illustration of the latent and largely untapped value within allcorporations/groups and individuals. Imagine the massive socio-economic impact

of these new products/services flooding into the marketplace. Even a small

percentage of this new infusion of socio-economic activity and value would

essentially dwarf our present global production outputand thus, transform the

very nature of human existence and our definitions of power.

Relating to how intellectual property is exploited, the primary difference between

corporations and individuals is that individuals have traditionally not possessed

the tools with which to broadcast and receive economic benefit from their

intellectual property. Whether that intellectual property is knowing the best

technique to mold plastic in various environments or even a collection of poetry,the holy grail of economics is to somehow develop a process with which all

individuals, anywhere in the world, can broadcast their particular items of

intellectual property, and in return, other parties will value that item of

intellectual property to the extent that economic transactions are consummated.

Emerging technologies embedded into the Internet, and more specifically, expert

systems8, are potent tools with which intellectual propertycorporately or

individually generatedcan be accumulated, assessed, and exploited. The tools

and technologies are already existent. The only thing missing which would allow

us to finally grasp the holy grail of economics (the participation of all) is nothing

more than our own minds.

It is important now to briefly view the orthodox methods of protecting

intellectual property originating from individuals. Apatent is an exclusive right

granted by a state to an inventor or his/her assignee for a fixed period of time in

exchange for a public disclosure of an invention. A patent is not a right to practice

or use the invention. Rather, a patent provides the right to exclude others from

making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the patented invention for

the term of the patent, which is usually 20 years from the filing date. A patent is,

in effect, a limited property right that a government offers to inventors in

exchange for their agreement to share the details of their inventions with the

8 An expert system is a computer application which makes decisions or solves problems in a particular field,

such as finance or medicine, by using knowledge and analytical rules defined by known human knowledge.

People solve problems by using a combination of factual knowledge and reasoning. In an expert system,

these two essentials are mimicked by two software components, a knowledge base and an inference engine.

The knowledge base provides specific facts and rules about the subject, and the inference engine provides the

reasoning ability that enables the expert system to form conclusions.

public. Like any other property right, it may be sold, licensed, mortgaged,assigned or transferred, given away, or simply abandoned.

Consider the following: over the past several years, major tensions have arisen

between corporate holders of various pharmaceutical patents and entire societies

deemed at risk to contract certain medical disorders treatable with these patent

protected pharmaceutical assets. In particular, as an example, HIV-AIDS

treatments tend to require substantial research investments, and corporations,

understandably, desire to maintain their legal ownership of their intellectual

property so as to recover their investments and earn profits (as well as shareholder

value). Tension is caused when large segments of a population are at risk from a

particular disorder and the economic interests of a corporation come into conflictwith the health interests of the public (particularly, if specific populations cannot

economically afford to purchase expensive pharmaceuticals from corporations).

Quantum Economics presents a view that orthodox methods of protecting

intellectual property are outdated. Figure 12 illustrates a radical alternative to

the notion that patents should deliberately exclude others from utilizing an

inventors intellectual property, whilst at the same, however, protecting the ability

for the inventor to earn revenue from his/her intellectual endeavorsand vastly

expanding the very market trading of the inventors endeavors.

Figure 12 - Intellectual property: protected, yet freely-tradable


34/45

The Q Reve la t ion

31

The radical concept illustrated in Figure 12 is that any intellectual property whichany employee/economic actor may have access to (corporately, personally,

formally, and/or informally) is tradable by the employee/economic actor him or

herself. No prior permission is necessary. Although this concept may sound

anarchic or even counter-intuitive, the entire process of exchanging knowledge,

wisdom, energy, even Love, is at this very moment, entirely feasible with the

technologies we already possess.

The above diagram demonstrates two perspectives relating to how intellectual

property is managed and broadcast throughout economic markets. On the left of

the diagram, an orthodox view of intellectual property in its protective/exclusive

state: where a single economic actor (conventionally, a corporation) is given

exclusive rights to utilize and broadcast intellectual property. On the right of the

diagram, however, the Quantum Economic view of intellectual property in its

naturally entangled state: where multiple economic actors are given inclusive

rights to utilize and broadcast intellectual property. In this example, three

separate corporations, each producing unique products, are no longer protected or

isolated from each other, but rather, are entangled via the naturally occurring

relationships between people, their ideas, and their consciousness-centered

manifestations. Although, indeed, a patent has still been issued to the original

inventor, another employeewithout requiring formal permission from the

inventorsells the intellectual property to an employee of another corporation.In turn, the employee initiating the sale earns a sales commission, and the

inventor and corporation receive their compensation for the trade. Further, a

second employee from the second corporation sells the same intellectual property

to an employee of a third corporation. Again, everyone up the value chain receives

compensation for the trade between second and third corporations.

These types of trading transactions can be replicated an infinite number of

timespotentially contributing an infinite economic value, and a wider and more

rapid broadcasting of intellectual property. In the past, it would have been

virtually impossible for corporations and individuals to effectively and honorably

consummate these types of transactions. With hypernet and expert systems

technologies, however, innovators, corporations, and individual economic actors

can track and assess these transactions with simplicity and reliability. In many

ways, this type of opportunistic trading of intellectual property mimics the fluid

and air distribution capillary systems found within biological entities, such as the

capillary system of a body. Instead of a small volume of large value trading

transactions being protected by controlling elites, the opportunity Quantum


35/45

The Q Reve la t ion

32

Economics affords is for the masses to co-create an exponentially larger volume ofsmaller value transactions. These exponentially larger volumes of smaller value

transactions, then, both provide the infrastructure to finally globalize and

democratize knowledge and create so much material wealth that material wealth

will no longer be the main attraction. Finally, our own knowledge and

interdependent relationships will become the main attraction and definition of

wealth.

Understandably, many will likely see this anarchic distribution of intellectual

property as being illogical and irresponsible. But again, modern technology has

already established a precedence for this type of responsibility undertaken by

common employees: a present-day production floor worker using enterpriseresource program (ERP)9 technologies, is fully authorized to purchase needed

raw materials and supplies on behalf of the corporation, simultaneously

transmitting the details of the purchase to multiple stakeholders, ranging from the

warehouse manager to the chief financial officer. In Quantum Economics, this

same kind of self-responsibility and interdependent use of technology and process

can be used to more widely broadcast and easily track the opportunistic trading of

conventionally protected assets of corporate and/or individual intellectual

property. And by so doing, the latent potential of moment-to-moment

opportunities which exists everywhere around us can be more widely manifested

and shared in real time with anyone/everyonerather than be mired in

bureaucratic and ego-centric control regimes so as to provide benefit to only a

limited number of elites. This is the deeper meaning of the liberation of Khaos.

Liberating ourselves from the shackles of what we think we know (but really

dont)and so liberated, find ourselves to be standing on the abyss of infinite

possibilities. Infinite selves. Infinite journeys.

Labor-less Economies & Authentic Public ShareholdingMove the microscope even further down the rabbit holewhere our more

infinite selves more naturally residewe begin to explore the very potentiality of

labor-less economies. There may indeed come the day where physical labor is

largely replaced by intelligent machines. At the present moment, this possibility

is frightening to a majority of the human population who now depend on theexploitation of their physical labor so as to obtain the essentials of survival: food,

shelter, clothing, etc. In 1995, Jeremy Rifkin wrote in The End of Work: the

Decline of the Global Labor Force and the Dawn of the Post-Market Era:

The global economy is in the midst of a radical change in the nature of work, with

profound consequences for the future of society. In the Industrial Age, mass human

labor worked side by side with machines to produce basic goods and services. In the

Age of Access, intelligent machines, in the form of computer software, robotics,

nanotechnology, and biotechnology, increasingly replaced human labor in theagriculture, manufacturing, and service sectors. Farms, factories, and many white-

collar service industries are quickly becoming automated. More and more physical and

mental labor, from menial repetitive tasks to highly conceptual professional work, will

be done by cheaper and more efficient thinking machines in the twenty-first century.

The cheapest workers in the world likely will be not as cheap as the technology coming

online to replace them. By the middle decades of the twenty-first century, the

commercial sphere will have the technological wherewithal and organizational capacity

to provide goods and basic services for an expanding human population using a

fraction of the workforce presently employed. Perhaps as little as 5 percent of the adult

population will be needed to manage and operate the traditional industrial sphere by

the year 2050. Near-workerless farms, factories, and offices will be the norm in every

country.Few of the CEOs I talk to believe that mass amounts of human labor will be

needed to produce conventional goods and services fifty years from now. Virtually allbelieve that intelligent technology will be the workforce of the future.

If we were to somehow view labor-less economics not from a perspective of fear,

ego, and greed, but rather, from a perspective of liberating potentiality, we would

begin to discover three operating principles of a Quantum Economics labor-less

paradigm: 1establishing a wealth valuation processbased not on the value of

labor, but rather on the civilizational value of the entire intention-to-utility chain

affecting all goods and services available to the global citizen/economic actor; 2

establishing a wealth ownership processbased on individual stakeholdership of

all innovation and sales revenues consciously balanced with societal

responsibilities; and 3establishing a capital movement processbased almostexclusively on corporate/collaborative network shareholdings and equity

financing, thus removing the necessity for debt-based financing for any part of the

intention-to-utility chain. The core quantum econometric principles to replace

product value based on labor with value based on the entire intention-to-utility

chain are as follows:

Essential Wealth. Classical economics has suggested for centuries the more aproduct is consumed, production economies of scale allow the product to be

produced in a manner that consistently lowers the cost of production, whilst at

the same time, consumers apply pressure to consistently lower the end-user

purchase pricewhich stimulates even greater consumption. The obvious flaw in

this classical valuation process is that no one along the intention-to-utility chain

directly shoulders the responsibilities of balancing self-initiative with self-

restraint. Any thought and action of self-restraint has been traditionally relegated

to the legal systems. Resultantly, so as to provide a facility for individuals to

directly balance self-initiative with self-restraint, the valuation of goods and

services is reversed in this Quantum Economic paradigm: the more a product(material/knowledge) is utilized/consumed on a global scale, the greater its

value (monetarily as well as socially). In other words, if Product X was utilized

consumed by 25% of the global population, its value (consumer purchase price)

might be US$ 1.00. However, if Product X was consumed by 75% of the global

population, then its value (consumer purchase price) might be US$ 1.25. Thus,

value is determined not by labor value, but instead, by a visible socio-economic

weighting process which all individuals consciously practice: 1percentage of

global market consumption (measuring civilizational needs and wants); 2

percentage of global market usefulness (measuring civilizational utility); and 3

percentage of global market accountability (measuring the balance of benefit and

responsibility). Classical economics has provided labor with only a token value oflabor-based salariesallowing the conventional corporation to generate the

greater majority of profit value gained as a consequence of labor. But if the

economy is essentially labor-less, the remaining alternative is to enable all global

citizens to become equity stockholders in corporations/collaborative networks of

their individual choosing (not represented by elitist controlled institutions), and

thus, all global citizens receive dividends on each product consumed. Since all

global citizens (being unemployed/unshackled) would be self-restraining

stockholders in corporations/collaborative networks, and thus receive regular

dividend payments resulting from consciousness-centered global consumer

purchases, all basic essentials of human existence (shelter, food, education, healthcare, etc.), would be financed via a wider and more diverse array of dividend

payments. As we focus our attention and intention away from mere consumption

and toward sustainability and utility, we infuse the economy with honor and we

benefit with honor. In Quantum Economics, this might be called Essential

Wealth.

Beyond Essential Wealth. Because a balance of self-initiative and self-restraint arethe new Quantum Economic foundations to the entire intention-to-utility chain,

the aforementioned network of conduits can be exploited at a much greater

efficiency to muster all necessary resources for economic activity, including

investment capital. The logic here is that if resources within the network of

conduits find a particular idea possessing the potential to add value to the market,

and since equity stockholding provides the strongest mechanism for return on

investment, then investment capital rather than debt-financing more effectively

mirrors the potential value of the idea. Thus, there most likely will be no

economic requirement for debt financing of either consumer or industrial

purposes. When one secures debt financing, the provider of debt capital does notreally care how the debt is repaid, but with equity financing, the provider of equity

capital indeed cares about the outcome and becomes a collaborative partn
