| University notebooks by Luiz Pagano in which he conceptualizes (and draws) the ideas of Prospenomics. |
Prospenomics is the study of prosperous, harmonious, and equitable societies, often depicted in fiction. These societies imagined in fiction can represent ideal or aspirational models of social, economic, and environmental organization, where resources are used sustainably and equitably, and where there is a positive interconnection between humans and the environment. Prospenomics may involve analyzing these fictional models to extract insights and inspiration for building a real society that is fairer and more prosperous.
On the other hand, the concept of Post-Scarcity refers to a future stage where the scarcity of material resources is no longer a predominant concern. In this stage, advanced technology, production efficiency, and sustainable resource use would allow for abundance of goods and services for all, without compromising the environment or depleting natural resources. Post-scarcity implies a fundamental shift in how society organizes and utilizes its resources, seeking to achieve a sustainable balance between human needs and planetary preservation.
In 1986, I had the unusual classes of "Brazilian Problem Studies" that my mentor, Antonio Sérgio Pacheco Mercier, taught. Even though they were on Saturdays, I loved attending his classes. Professor Mercier had the gift of captivating students with his engaging narratives, especially when discussing subjects like international trade.
His classes were rich; he talked about a convention in Luang Prapang, which inspired my friend Gilberto Lacerda to adopt a new dream tourist destination, or the international maritime law agreement signed in Montego Bay, Jamaica, in 1982 - he took us on a journey to these incredible locations.
The professor showed us the importance of these events, as well as the pleasures of practicing a profession that best suits one's spirit, reconciling the joy of travel with improving human relations on the planet.
But it was during a conversation about possible topics for my thesis that Professor Mercier truly inspired me.
I shared with him my supposedly "revolutionary" idea of applying science fiction concepts to economics and public administration, an approach I called #prospenomics.
I believed (and still believe) that just as the science fiction of Jules Verne inspired Santos-Dumont in multiple inventions, we could also use Gene Roddenberry's post-scarcity society from Star Trek as inspiration for new approaches in economics and public administration.
At first, Professor Mercier was interested in the argument, but after listening carefully to my explanations, he said that my ideas were "still in their infancy" and that there was "little applicability to reality." :( However, he encouraged me to study more about the subject and to explore these ideas further.
Even though I felt a little frustrated for being so far from a viable argument, with his careful guidance and constructive criticism, I embarked on a journey of research and reflection that broadened my academic and professional horizons, achieving feats that I had never dreamed of achieving.
The End of Working for a Living and the Beginning of Working for Your Talents
As we move towards a future where traditional notions of scarcity and work are being questioned, there is a need to explore new approaches to societal and economic organization. In this context, digital tools like LinkedIn have played a significant role in facilitating connections between people and job opportunities, aiming to enable individuals to work based on their talents and passions, rather than just to sustain their basic needs.
LinkedIn, a widely used professional networking platform, has the primary purpose of connecting professionals from various fields, allowing them to share experiences, skills, and job opportunities. By providing a space where users can highlight their skills and experiences, LinkedIn fosters an environment where individual talents can be recognized and valued, regardless of their academic background or previous experience.
The underlying idea behind the use of LinkedIn and other similar tools is that by creating opportunities for people to work based on their talents and interests, rather than just to earn a living, it is possible to promote a more creative, productive, and fulfilling society for all its members. This approach, known as "working for talent," aims to maximize the potential of each individual, encouraging creative expression, innovation, and personal and professional growth.
Based on the assumption that each person is the world’s best in a particular subject, worldwide-business-oriented social networking site such as Linkedin will be the perfect tool to locate and to employ the best professionals possible at the best position.
More than just allow registered users to maintain a list of contact with details of people they know and trust in business, replacement software will analyze candidate’s skills to create a GRePS (Graphic Representation of Professional Skills). As fingerprints those GRePS are unique and allows the candidate to experience professional plenitude.
Lets see how it will work:
Mr. Miyamoto Shintaro lives in Tokyo and is currently looking for a job. His experiences encompasses managing Human Resources department, recruiting, training and supervising the F&B teams, as well as creating supporting material. Systems update (Micros, websites) is also part of the routine. He speaks Japanese, English and Italian.
He keeps his profile in Linkedin perfectly updated. The GRePS program generates an specific key that matches perfectly to an open position at an Italian Company.
Mr. Miyamoto was very excited with the prospects of working in Rome, but he lacks the Erasmus Exchange Program, course required by the contractor.
He immediately inscribed ate the course and after 6 months he will be “perfectly” qualified to the position.
Thanks to the GRePS Software Mr. Miyamoto and many others around the world would find the perfect workplace, helping Earth’s society to reach post-scarcity Era.
