The photo of ‘Frederico’ – named by the officer who found him – was posted online by non-governmental organisation Bahay Tuluyan in an attempt to shed light on the shocking conditions in the Reception and Action Centre (RAC), a half-way house for children found on the streets or in poor domestic environments. The image was also sent directly to President Benigno Aquino III and other high-ranking members of government, with Bahay Tuluyan demanding answers following a lengthy campaign to improve the conditions in the RAC. metro.co.uk/2014/11/01/frederico-shocking-image-of-street-child-was-taken-seven-months-after-he-was-found-4931158/ Our current system is not capable of providing a high standard of living for everyone, nor can it ensure the protection of the environment because the major motive is profit. Businesses arent entirely to blame; they are forced to operate this way in order to retain the competitive edge. Additionally, with the advent of automation, cybernation, and artificial intelligence, there will be an ever-increasing replacement of people by automated systems. As a result, fewer people will be able to purchase goods and services even though our capability to produce an abundance will continue to exist. This is well-documented in Jeremy Rifkins book The End of Work: The Decline of the Global Labor Force and the Dawn of the Post-market Era (Putnam, 1995). The Venus Project offers a fresh approach that reverses the negative aspects experienced in our current applications of automation and artificial intelligence. This project eliminates the disastrous consequences that such approaches can have on our society, i.e. the displacement of millions of workers, skilled and unskilled alike. thevenusproject
