I have found 1BIL is a good carrying capacity at 1900 level of consumption but 200-500MIL of your type people in that system is definitely workable theoretically. It is my opinion that the automation and robotics needed to supply goods to this higher tech world might not do it. One needs to see what 7BIL people do with hyper global value chains to see how the economics combine with the tech to produce amazing things and quantities. I am not sure 500MIL people even smart with robots and automation could manage that. So maybe the tech level would have to be lower.

That sounds high IQ but what about the high IQ’s that are resistant to reason and do to specialization are also delusional with the wisdom of what is needed for this bee hive world. There are geniuses that might be true leaders that would solve a huge amount of problems in one package. Low IQ people with amazing skills that might have made a large impact. Low IQ’s that might enjoy work high IQ’s can’t do well. To me this is your most difficult part of your new world equation and that is people management. It is the same in the business world. The toughest part of business is people management. An alternative is to have all IQ’s and make sure they are fit to their respective tasks like a bee hive with its specialization but also have all citizens educated in generalized skills of supporting themselves with home economics and permaculture. If the people are town people then they could be more specialized and less permaculture but everyone is adept in home economics.

Essential price discovery systems are important but free markets can never be free because they aren’t by their nature because of moral hazard that develops in a system of competitive cooperation. Yet, there are system that are better than others. A confederation with a Socialistic hybrid system is a good idea with socialism being the gatekeeper of the public good but also limited so it too does not drift into the moral hazards of corruption and cronyism. Private property of the individual and community respected but gated by a social system of heads of the confederations who cooperate to allow competition.

I feel we need to focus on lifestyles that promote longer life spans with good health and safety. Let’s be clear death is expensive in more advanced societies because of the investment in education and skills people would have. So, death needs to be limited. Strategies would be a no brainer of educating good citizens. Empathy and compassion need to be in place for those who get a taste of bad luck. We are talking humans not robots so people have relationships and will care for loved ones so the system can’t be so extreme as to allow people to die because of survival of the fittest is best genetically. Yet, the survival of everyone is not an option too. Native Americans were good at this. They had a balance of those who were let to die and who was saved based on their life system requirements. They had to because of survival needs.

Ban absolutely all industrial activities there but yet allow people to see and explore those areas. Allow settlements as long as those who wish to live there also wish to lead a lifestyle resembling H-G of the past or alternatively live in small settlements and work only to maintain immediate local community (Amish type of settlements, perhaps with more allowance for advanced tech meant only for personal/community use).
I have found the idea of Amish style communities with human and animal power supplemented by basic robust higher tech is a great idea. These communities that would grow food and maybe produce raw materials would live with intermittency and seasonality. These community would be localized and would by a code of contact not travel and not embrace consumerism. In the towns there would be 24/7 power where the critical nodes are siloed and protected. The key in this situation is enlightened town people who would have more power at their fingertips must protect and nurture the less powerful rural areas. They may also be the centers of overall admin and security. Keeping this more advanced living urbanites fair and supportive to the rural areas who supply the basics of raw materials and food is essential. Both rural and urban would have to have strong civic responsibilities to maintain a discipline to secure the system so, this means much lower personal freedoms than today. I am not sure if humans are capable of this. We saw how communism failed and how capitalism is failing now. Protecting the natural ecosystems is essential so permanent nature reserves are essential. Yet, in low tech settings in tune to natures cycles should be allowed too so a mix of human and ecologically sensitive is called for. Some areas are off limits like wetlands and keystone ecosystems.

In a smaller world there could be more barter and gift economies at the lower level and at the more technical levels in the urban 24/7 areas a currency with real value that reflects actual value produced. Debt would be limited to real price discovery strategies that are in a fair system. So, if an idea shows real promise but needs investment to be realized then resources are allocated based upon a debt that is both respectful to both stakeholders of the private and public good. So private property of sorts needs to be allowed but also protected commons of public good. A hybrid fiat currency is likely needed with 500MIL – 1BIL people. Fiat currency is like electric in the grid. It is essential to lubricate activity but like electric also dangerous. Steps must be taken to insulate the system from excesses and moral hazard.

Definitely have a reduce and reuse system that avoids or minimizes tech that is dangerous and polluting. People would practice extreme conservation strategies. There would be more living in situations where comfort is lower and leisure would be restricted to low impact low energy types. A steady state economy would be a goal. If damage or pollution occurs than a degrowth period might be initiated so there would have to be flux to mimic life systems and adaptation to a planet in flux. Evolution needs to be allowed so to speak but so does succession where destructive change occurs to make way for the constructive change of regrowth.

Definitely, this is what has brought down many good civilizations.
Now how to pay for all this and educate the people to this! Yet, ideas like this need to be considered. A theoretical world that is a higher order of meaning should be sought out just as meaning is a natural human attraction because of our large frontal cortex.
