What is the solution to the current world problems? (reddthat.com)

I am asking this question, because there does not seem to be a modern logical solution.

I hear a lot of people say that socialism might solve a lot of problems, but I don't think it has any practicality.

Looking at jobs hiring trends, a lot of businesses are almost stopping their hirings, in favour of investing in automation. Which means 5-10 years down the line, "worker owned" might be closer to fiction.

AI is replacing a lot of jobs now and while the trend that new technologies create jobs, I think that jobs might come after 15-40 years.

Are humanity hopeless?

In the first part you say that socialism - the idea of taking care of people whether or not they produce economically - is not practical.

In the second part you worry that people won’t be able to produce and participate economically.

Why do you feel that way? Have you done any research? What have you learned so far?

No,

Socialism: economic and political philosophy encompassing diverse economic and social systems characterised by social ownership of the means of production, as opposed to private ownership.

In the second part you worry that people won’t be able to produce and participate economically.

Yes, exactly which is based on the current economical reports and analyses, which all are currently saying that the number of new hires are very low, due to all businesses not wanting to hire, reluctance to hire.

Why do you feel that way?

Kindly, read my post.

Have you done any research?

I had search pretty lightly, but I was not able to find any suitable solution.

What have you learned so far?

At my current level of knowledge, I learned that there is not a specific system that I could find and believe in to be better than the current one.
