Sixty years ago, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered a famous speech: "I Have a Dream":
"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.' I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." The civil rights movement initiated by Dr. King has largely achieved his great dream from a legal standpoint.
Forty-one years ago, on Dr. King’s memorial day (January 15), I set foot on the land of the United States with a student visa. As an international student, I had to pay much higher tuition fees than domestic students. Even worse, international students did not have work permits (Social Security numbers) to work legally off-campus to earn tuition.
I have always disagreed with America's policies that do not treat "foreigners" equally.
My dream is that in 60 years, all 8 billion people around the world can live on a beautiful Earth where they are not discriminated against based on nationality, religion, or skin color.
Given the current rate of AI development, 60-80% of employment-based jobs will be replaced by robots in the next twenty years. The supply of material wealth will far exceed the normal material needs of modern humans.
I predict that within a century, the world’s per capita GDP will increase by 20,000 times, reaching a level of $200 million per capita, far beyond our current imagination. In other words, the theories and policies of contemporary scarcity economics will become completely obsolete.
Every individual in any region of the world will be able to freely use all human knowledge in their native language to make decisions about their daily lives according to their personal preferences. The supply of everyday material needs (clothing, food, housing, transportation) will be nearly infinite. Anyone, anywhere on Earth, using any native language, will be able to participate in the human adventure of evolving into “space intelligent beings.”
Discrimination based on nationality, skin color, and religious doctrine, wars (with conventional weapons), large-scale epidemics, and man-made disasters like cancer will become dark chapters in the “prehistoric civilization” of space intelligent beings.
