Envisioning an Equitable Scientific Future
The Zen Mormon Quantum Universalist philosophy charts a bold course toward a technologically empowered yet spiritually grounded future, with a critical imperative of ensuring equitable access to the transformative potential of science. Recognizing the risk of exacerbating societal divides, the framework proposes innovative policies to proactively address this challenge, including universal basic augmentation, tiered pricing structures, strategic public-private partnerships, decentralized community technology hubs, inclusive research and development processes, reskilling programs, and expansive social safety nets. These multifaceted initiatives aim to make advanced scientific and technological enhancements more affordable and accessible, empowering marginalized communities to actively participate in and shape the development of these transformative technologies. By foregrounding the voices and perspectives of the historically underserved, the Zen Mormon Quantum Universalist approach seeks to align the trajectory of scientific progress with the collective wellbeing and flourishing of all, transcending the limitations of the past to consciously co-create a more just, inclusive, and technologically empowered future.
