So... For someone who wants to live the life of a monk for example.. if basic life standards are supplied then they have everything they need/want.



Supplied by whom?

Maybe we will create some kind of decentralized basic resource allocation network system, perhaps some rich people wont like it and try to shut it down/control/manipulate and they might have some success but the poor/others will defend it.  Just like how the internet is now.  


Why would rich people not like if, if they don't have to pay for it? Who will be in charge of resource allocation? And where will those resources originate from?

The internet is paid for by capitalist companies and its users. It's not a free resource, and not one provided by the government. It also costs very little, requiring a one time setup (lay cable, install router), instead of continuous hard labor to extract or produce resources.

some rich people who rely on manipulating media etc dont like the freedom people have on the internet.  So with a basic resource allocation system people who rely on manipulation of food/housing/water will fight it.

who is in charge of the information resource allocation on the internet? seems like a bit of everyone?

What i propose would require some revolutionary design like bitcoin but on a even greater scale, maybe we need greater technology first.  With the internet people are incentivised to contribute information resources on many different reward levels (our conversation for example)

With a basic food/housing/water network system the incentives get tricky it seems, got any ideas?  maybe nothing of what i speak of if possible until technology can simplify basic living resources data dramatically.
