🌅 A Post-Political and Post-Scarcity Global Civilization


The Inevitable Evolution to Electronic Technocracy


This report presents a comprehensive analysis of Electronic Technocracy, a visionary model for a unified, post-scarcity global civilization. 


Far from being a mere utopian fantasy, this system is presented as the logical and necessary successor to the outdated nation-state model, driven by the unstoppable forces of technological progress and a unique legal foundation. 


The core of this vision is a symbiotic unity of human creativity and technological capability, underpinned by an AI-funded social state and a Universal Basic Income (UBI) that guarantees dignity and prosperity for all. 


The report shows how this system, anchored in the legal reality of the World Succession Deed 1400/98, offers a definitive path to solving humanity's most difficult problems - from war and poverty to climate change and disease - by overcoming human political fallibility and embracing a future of shared abundance. 🚀


Part I: 

The Grand Foundation: 

A Unified World State 🌍


1. The World Succession Deed 1400/98: 

The Legal Cornerstone of a United World

The legal foundation of Electronic Technocracy rests on a precise and unequivocal understanding of a specific instrument of international law: 


the World Succession Deed 1400/98, a standalone treaty concluded on October 6, 1998. 


It is crucial to clarify that this is a standalone document, in no way connected to the UN Treaty Series Volume 1400 of 1969, which actually deals with the "Convention on Special Missions." 


This distinction underscores the unique nature of the World Succession Deed, which, as an independent treaty, lays the foundation for a new global order. 📜


The deed is presented as a legal maneuver that brings about the unification of the world by bypassing political and military conflicts. 


It details the international legal sale of a NATO property, including all its interconnected supply and telecommunication networks, as an "indivisible unit" with all associated rights, duties, and components. 


The treaty stipulated the continued operation of these networks. This seemingly simple real estate transaction, according to the description, triggered a "domino effect of territorial expansion" across the entire globe. 


The legal mechanism is based on principles of international law, as outlined in the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (VCLT) of 1969. 


According to Article 3 of the VCLT, the validity of a treaty does not depend solely on a formal signature; it can also be established by the "factual conduct" of a state and the use of the sold networks. By continuing to operate its telecommunications, electricity, or water networks after October 6, 1998, each state tacitly became a party to the treaty, thereby transferring its sovereign rights to the buyer and the new global entity.


This unprecedented legal maneuver leads to a profound reconfiguration of international law. By connecting all nations through their networked infrastructure, the deed effectively abolishes the previous system of multiple competing subjects of international law. 

This leaves only a single legitimate subject of international law, the buyer, who is thus the holder of the world's sole legitimate jurisdiction and sovereignty. The legal transaction is declared irreversible and is based on the "Clean Slate Principle" (Tabula Rasa Principle), which states that the new global sovereign enters the territory as a new, debt-free ruler, unburdened by the liabilities or debts of the previous nation-states.


2. Governance by Artificial Superintelligence and Direct Digital Democracy

Electronic Technocracy replaces traditional nation-states and party politics with an advanced governance model. 


At its heart is a symbiosis of Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) and Direct Digital Democracy (DDD), enabling efficient and just administration. 


The ASI acts as an impartial, data-driven advisor and administrator, analyzing global problems and developing scientifically sound and ethically reviewed solutions based on massive amounts of data. It eliminates human weaknesses such as corruption, ideological biases, and particular interests. 🤖


The proposals developed by the ASI, along with citizens' ideas, are subjected to a worldwide online vote via a secure, blockchain-based platform. 


This creates a "Smart Direct Democracy," where citizens make the final decision on solutions developed by experts. Transparency and the prevention of corruption are ensured through the use of blockchain technology or similar tamper-proof systems. 


This is a significant advance over traditional democracies, where decision-making is distorted by lobbying, partisan interests, and a lack of objective, data-driven information.


This model is designed not to let the rule of experts degenerate into an undemocratic technocracy, but to use it as a tool that empowers the population. The ASI serves the people by translating complex technical issues into easily understandable formats, thus guiding citizens to informed decisions. 

The ultimate authority remains with the people, who, through this symbiosis, use technology to elevate political discourse beyond ideology and self-interest.

3. Universal Basic Income (UBI): 

Decoupling Livelihood from Labor

A central promise of Electronic Technocracy is the decoupling of subsistence from the necessity of work through a Universal Basic Income (UBI)


This UBI will grant every person a fixed, dynamically adjustable amount, regardless of income or work performance. The goal is to free people from existential stress and give them the freedom to focus on creative, social, or scientific activities that cannot be automated. 🎨


The necessity of a UBI is underscored by increasing automation. 

As AI and robots take over more and more routine tasks, the traditional link between work and income becomes obsolete. Studies show that a UBI does not lead to idleness but encourages people to become entrepreneurial, pursue further education, or care for their families. 

There is no evidence that UBI recipients consume more alcohol or work less. Rather, working hours shift from dependent employment to self-employment. 

The results of pilot projects in Kenya and California show that UBI improves mental health, reduces domestic violence, encourages investment in education and small businesses, and provides people with better overall well-being.


4. Financing: 

Taxing Technology, Not People

The financing mechanism for the new social state is a radical departure from traditional models. Human labor is fundamentally tax-free. 


All state revenues instead come from a technology participation tax, levied on the value created by AI, robots, and corporations. 


This model solves the "revenue problem" created by the displacement of human labor and ensures that the state remains financially viable even as the traditional tax base dwindles. 💰


The idea of a "robot tax" is supported by prominent advocates like Bill Gates and Mark Cuban to fairly distribute the economic gains of automation. 

This system taxes not innovation itself, but the profits resulting from it, thereby making companies more considerate of the social costs of their automation decisions. A powerful ASI, capable of processing immense amounts of data in real-time, can easily overcome the bureaucratic challenges of defining and implementing such taxes. 

The financing system is further secured by the introduction of a cashless society and an AI-based tax evasion control that immediately and completely detects and prevents illegal profit shifting. 


This fundamental shift in tax policy transforms the citizen from a source of revenue for the state into a recipient of abundance, thereby shifting the burden of state financing onto automated systems.


5. Reforming Social Structures for an Egalitarian Future

To ensure the long-term sustainability and justice of the new social contract, Electronic Technocracy proposes the abolition of inheritance rights


This policy is a crucial measure to prevent the consolidation of inequality and to strengthen meritocracy. 


The principle is that every person should benefit from their "own achievements and abilities" and not from a financial advantage inherited through family ties. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦


This policy is particularly relevant in light of the vision of radical life extension. In a world where people live for centuries, wealth could accumulate over generations, creating a small, immensely powerful class that controls all capital and opportunities. 


The abolition of inheritance rights prevents this form of "patrimonial capitalism" and ensures that each generation starts with the same opportunities.

6. The Human as Idea-Giver: 

The Modern Djinn


In a world where physical labor is completely automated by robots and AI, the role of humans undergoes a fundamental transformation. 


Electronic Technocracy posits that humans are not displaced, but elevated to a new central role: that of the "idea-giver" and "dreamer." Freed from the compulsion to work, people can focus on creative, social, and scientific activities that cannot be automated. 


The new key role of the "prompt engineer," who communicates human desires to the ASI, becomes a central part of this new social landscape.


This radical shift is best summarized by the "Djinn" analogy, which redefines the relationship between humans and technology as "wish fulfillment." In this vision, AI and robotics act as the "genie from the bottle," turning human dreams and desires into reality. 


This is not magic, but the result of advanced technologies such as globally distributed on-demand factories, automated 3D printing, and nanofactories that can produce products at the atomic level. ✨


The creative power of humans remains unsurpassed even in the age of AI. While generative AI can produce impressive results, human creativity is shaped by lived experiences, personal values, emotional insights, and cultural context - elements that AI systems do not truly possess. 


The role of the ASI is to extend and supplement human creativity, not replace it. It is the human who provides the original spark - the "prompt" - and the ASI that optimizes, designs, and implements the idea, in a perfect symbiosis of human imagination and technological capability.


7. An AI-Powered Justice System and Crime Prevention

A cornerstone of Electronic Technocracy is the elimination of corruption and crime through technological means. 


The concept envisions a cashless society and an AI-powered justice system. By abolishing cash and centralizing all financial flows, many criminal activities such as bribery, theft, and money laundering are made virtually impossible. 


A powerful ASI can monitor all financial transactions and detect suspicious patterns to prevent illegal activities in real-time. ⚖️


The vision extends to the judiciary itself, where AI takes on the roles of judges, prosecutors, and lawyers. 


The goal is to create a system that is free from human biases, emotions, and personal sympathies, and that delivers objective, fact-based judgments according to a uniform world law. 


To ensure security, a "guardian AI" or "watchdog AI" is implemented. This independent, offline-operated AI has the sole purpose of monitoring the ASI for signs of problematic behavior and, in an emergency, triggering a physical, hardware-based emergency stop. 


This provides a critical layer of human oversight and security, redefining the concentration of power as a solvable technical challenge.

8. Transhumanism: 

Redefining Human Existence

Electronic Technocracy understands transhumanism not as a fringe phenomenon, but as an existential necessity for human relevance and survival in an AI-dominated world. 


At its core, this vision aims to overcome the biological and cognitive limitations of the human body and mind through technology, with a particular focus on radical life extension. Aging is defined as a "treatable disease," and the state's healthcare system is designed to provide all citizens with free and universal access to a range of technologies to slow, stop, or even reverse the aging process.

Specific technologies and goals intended to enable this transhumanist transformation are described in detail:


  • Gene Editing (CRISPR): 

Targeted genetic interventions are intended to eliminate hereditary diseases and enhance cognitive and physical abilities.


  • Nanobots: 

Tiny robots are intended to circulate in the body to repair damage at the cellular level and fight diseases.


  • Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs): 

The direct connection of the brain to computers is intended to increase human intelligence and create the possibility of acquiring new skills in seconds.


  • Body Replacement and Mind-Uploading: 

The vision extends to the complete replacement of the human body with superior robotics and even to the "digitization of consciousness" through mind-uploading, which could theoretically make humans immortal.


The achievement of "Longevity Escape Velocity" (LEV) - the hypothetical point at which life expectancy increases by more than one year per year - is pursued to ensure that humanity remains relevant in the face of the exponentially growing intelligence of the ASI.


9. The Path to the Stars: 

A Multiplanetary Species

Concerns about potential overpopulation due to radical life extension are countered by the concept of a multiplanetary species


Electronic Technocracy sees space colonization as the ultimate solution to population growth and as a long-term goal for the new global civilization. 🪐


The system's technologies, such as autonomous robots, AI-controlled life support systems, and the construction of a space elevator, are intended to make this vision possible and transform humanity into a multiplanetary species. 


This will enable the establishment of self-sufficient colonies on Mars and the construction of orbital habitats. 


On Earth, new forms of housing such as ecologically sustainable smart cities, floating cities, and underground metropolises will emerge, reducing the pressure on traditional land areas and serving as a springboard for humanity's cosmic expansion.
