A Different Way Of Living: The On Demand World

What if you owned nothing?

What if you had no desire to?

Imagine a new scenario.

Everything you want is provided for you.

Need to cut your grass?

A lawn mower arrives at your front door after a short delay.

Feeling like cooking dinner tonight?

Get access to a high end kitchen on demand.

Need a haircut?

A barber can schedule a cut with you for later this afternoon.

The own demand economy is just beginning.

Everything that was once owned will transition into an on demand application as more entrepreneurs come up with innovative solutions.

The question now is how will you live your life in this new on demand world?

Great post!
Thanks for tasting the eden!

Well, I kinda enjoy owning what I have acquired and achieved. There's a lot of hubbub about ownership of property whether it is land or a rubber ball. There seems to be a concept that if no one owned anything the world would be a better place.

Strange concept.

For instance, It is important to feel that your home is your own. Since we are Sovereign we are recognized as the supreme law-giver within our home. In this place no law can intrude.

There's nothing really wrong with claiming something as yours. By law it then keeps others from coming and taking it from you. You have to claim ownership in order for the law to apply and your property and person to be protected.

I also have a strong fear that the "ruling elites" do not want us to exercise our Sovereign right to own property. So the vision of that future is not very enticing to me.

In many studies it appears that there is a very strong psychological need for personal property within the human psyche. It ties into our self-value and our social value. It's going to be difficult to change this in man.

That being said, the future you present may actually be a wonderful place. In that scenario, if everyone has what they need then there would be no concern if someone wants to take it from you. I guess you just order another one.

But I will keep exercising skepticism until that day arrives. Hopefully it arrives by the unanimous decision of humanity.

-And y'know, it actually might.
