What do You think "work" and learning might be like in the New World?


Recommended Posts

It seems to me that most trash can be recycled and that what prevents this today is time and expense. When we have forever and are no longer motivated to make the most money we can, these will no longer be issues.  I can picture massive recycling centers where nearly all trash is broken back down into its basic components and then returned to the supply chain to be used or recreated again. 

 

Ring of satellites around the sun beaming power back to earth. Roads made of solar panels. Parking deck awnings that provide both shade and electricity. Reusable energy from tides, wind, waterfalls, dams, and geothermal. 

 

Most all what we have today only continuing to improve and advance. Transportation, communication, entertainment, computers. 

 

Farming, housing, clothing, jewelry 

 

Science and research into every aspect of life, creation, and creative processes. Why do genes work the way they do? Why are some people attracted to these features while other people are attracted to those features? What dna or genetics goes into the combinations people find appealing? What causes his eyes to be shaped like this while hers look like that and why do certain features seem to always work in the same combinations? 

 

Can we terraform other planets to make them habitable? Is that a natural future application of extending paradise? 

 

All of these and more will make for enjoyable work and play

It'll be amazing to see how spotless the Earth will be when we accomplish collecting, breaking down, and repurposing all of these recyclable materials.

With the satellites, I wonder if we can take a majority of them down 🤔 Do you think we will need Google Maps anymore? 😂 I looked up that there are around 15,000 of them active and inactive and 30,000 tracked pieces of orbital debris and old rocket bodies, according to NASA SVS.

Sounds epic 🤩 I wonder if we can make it to where we can have them generate heat into energy because cars are going to be running over them most of the time, if that is the case.

I had to look this up. I didn't realize an awning was what this is called. A very efficient use for them this can have solar panels as well.

The earth has plenty of energy sources to go around and in the New World, we will no longer be charged to use or maintain them.

So much to look forward to💜

 

I would want to plant grapes, peaches, golden apples first and enjoy the real juicy taste they are supposed to have. Even oranges! (I do not like eating fresh oranges now because they never seem to be sweet at all)

Housing is difficult because I don't know where I want to live! If I must narrow it down, then I would love it to be where I can see as many terrains as possible 🥰

Clothing... now that is something. I just buy whatever fits, is comfortable, and modest.

Jewel crafting: I always loved pearls, but I feel hurt for the clams we take them from 😭Others I like are Alexandrite and Moonstone. ... Who am I kidding, I love all rocks 💜Having the chance to learn at what conditions we get certain rocks fascinates me. Even more so retaining the information.

 

I am by no means a fashion, home, jewel designer much less a decorator... But soon my brain will be able to take on these new and available opportunities to learn more and use my hands to the full!

From this paragraph it looks like you might study the genes first when you get to the science topics

I'm not really clear on this word" terraform" but what I get from looking it up is it's a designing tool (or software) of some sort?

Most likely still referring to Terraforming... Please, can I get someone's insight on this for my clarity, if possible?

I couldn't agree more!

 😭I finally finished!

I was using my phone to write this then realized it was becoming difficult. I also can quote using the computer easier. Then I ended up writing it out making sure every paragraph was covered... and quoted everything 😫 I really need an update for my brain because this is not it 😅

 

Jehovah, please have the New World come!!! 🙏

If you’re new or just viewing, please don’t hesitate to share your thoughts 🥺


I really enjoy hearing everyone’s ideas—it’s helped me learn about things I never thought about before, including different kinds of work and skills.
One of my wishes for this forum thread is for us to share different perspectives on what the future could be like. It gives us something hopeful and real to look forward to, especially for those of us dealing with illness or other challenges.


So, I wanted to ask:
What do you think “work” and learning might be like in the New World? 😊🙏🏼


I would love to hear how you imagine it.
