Use the scientific method to determine what is needed.

So, in order to determine whether I want a taco or a burrito, I will use the scientific method?

[Leveer13]

No, use the scientific method to gather data to determine the demand for burritos vs tacos and produce accordingly.

[danberkeley]

Cool. So the next time I have the urge for a chicken burrito, I will use the scientific method to determine whether my gut is right.

[danberkeley]

In a resource-based economy, how will we know what to produce?

[joesub007]

How was I able to read your comment?

Human dedication + computer automation = resource-based economy and individual consumer tastes.

A win-win situation if I ever saw it.

@danberkeley It seems really that living in a money world shuts down thinking. I will help you, go and learn what sience is now go and learn about " human needs " are... people need food and water, shelter, clothes, security, love, friends, family etc etc..this are human needs...therefore we will build, produce etc etc what is needed to fulfill this needs..and the initiative to do this comes also from this needs
