Figuring out what to do - Part 0
Recently I have been trying to figure out what to do in life. As per current real world state it seems earning money and contributing to society are two different objectives. How to figure out the balance?
Why do the paths diverge?
Maybe the paths diverge because money is given away randomly sometimes. If money was given to good contributions then it will facilitate more goodness. But since we have so many hands through which money flows we'll never know where the money is going. People are intrinsically selfish and it is only when one's basic needs are met that they can start being selfless. With each micro transaction money is lost to bad intentions as people who are selfish are stealing/scamming the money away. The stealing is possible because we don't have enough controls in place to monitor everything. The system itself is not secured. Our taxes go through multiple hands before they are put behind a cause. There is no transparency.
How we can make the paths converge?
Give money to good intentions. If you see someone contributing to society give your money away it will help and motivate the good person. When the good person achieves more good things it will inspire others and they will also be motivated to good things. Charity is required because we failed to set up a world where good is rewarded enough.
Don't try to cheat your way to free things. That is the reason obscure methods are used to take money from you which you don't even realise. There are layers and layers of random money making abstractions that have been put up because of how people think and behave (sometimes selfishly). Be a good person and it will reflect upon the world eventually and reduce its complexity.
What should I do?
Startup
A start up is a good idea to get money and also do good for the world as you can control how the money will flow through your organisation and it has still not been tampered with. To make sure a company remains clean, finances must be transparent. The money received should be traceable to where it is getting used. How much is going into people's pockets should be transparent and they should own the money they receive and not try to fake anything. Be honest, the right people will understand. Don't try to appeal to the masses to maximise your appeal and profits. Appeal to the people who you think have right views.
Open source contributions
Open source contributions are selfless acts and I respect the people who are do good for the world and give it out for free. Open source contributions are also transparent so that is a win. There needs to be a sure shot way to earn rewards for these contributions. The finances should be transparent too for any sponsorware methods that are being used.
Some more things that the world needs
A way to secure any system from scams and making it deterministic. Transparency and a mathematically proven way for the system to be secure.
The finances are too obscure. There is no way for the money flow to be tracked by the people who are giving away there money to things they think are good.

I will take a break now... Thanks for reading.
