I have an idea.
What if instead of moving to Knowledge Age, we move straight to Joyful Age.

In Joyful Age your joy becomes money.
It's inherently decentralized system because everyone can generate joy by doing things that they feel most passionate about. Think of it! What is more joyful - to know something or to learn something? What is more joyful - a static state or a process? Maybe that's why a system, where different competing incompatible paradigms alternate between each other, exists. It's called time. I will tell you the secret - time never started and it will never end, because it runs in a circle.

Everything is created to have joy and yet you are given a choice to not have it. See, in order to have joy of "rising from the ashes", for example, we need to create ashes first and then convince ourselves to get there. The problem is that sometimes this process takes so long that by the time we are there we have completely forgotten what the purpose was in the first place

So instead of waiting that someone will come and give us joy, why don't we generate joy ourselves and share it with others? The Universe will take care of the rest, she is a grown girl after all, she knows how to handle herself.
