The easiest and most obvious way is to try. That's it. A good 70% of our waking lives we spend daydreaming, thinking about the future, playing, eating, using the toilet, and generally being unproductive. Imagine what could be done if the output of each person went up by 200%. All poverty and hunger could be cured easily. However, unstructured work is seldom done efficiently, and people would reject the idea of longer paid hours in favour of having fun, and volunteer work as boring and not giving them anything. A totally new approach is needed to utilize this time efficiently. My suggestion has been gleaned from the past, and from novelists ideas of the future (mainly George Orwell, but don't tell anyone :) Clubs, organisations, unions, groups, call them what you will, but these are the key. It won't be easy, but if we can reshape our society to be based around these tribes-noveu, and exploit the natural motivation to belong, this idea will work. Celebrity spokespeople, and a grassroots effort could easily entice people to spend large amounts of their time working for their group. The more powerful and popular groups, admired by all, require longer hours of harder work than the more ordinary ones. This motivates people to work as hard as they can, but no harder.
It will also be important to keep the unwashed masses from realizing the true purpose of their organisation. The only way this can succeed while still increasing productivity is to disguise the true beneficiaries of their work - mankind. Instead the must be told their efforts will go towards saving endangered species, or starving children, or similar. The most successful group to date is Green peace. The shining star among a number of failures like UNICEF, the UN, Competitive Cricket, and Linux, Green peace has captured the hearts and minds of the general public, and people happily send money and work for them for free. These resources, ostensibly for stunts like saving whales and oppressed chickens, are actually a major source of revenue for Gark Milmour Enterprises Inc. and help fund the founding of many more groups.
Unfortunately, Green Peace is considered too fringe for many people, and since Gates rebelled and took Microsoft away from GME, there has been no suitable replacement. GME anthropologists have been hard at work however, and several new projects are in the pipeline. These will be unveiled over a period of several years, with a media and advertising frenzy accompanying each one. So that GME employees and sleepers can do their bit to promote these groups over others, a list will be published here. Ensure this does not get into the general public. The fear of the powerful could have a backlash, and set these efforts back by years.
The Following is a list of GME backed cover projects that promote GME's new societal model. Attempts to disperse this material will be handled with extreme prejudice:
One of the most crucial projects since Microsoft, Lord Of The Rings is a huge revenue source, and Peter Jackson is one of the most loyal members GME has. Helping build such an uncool person into an Oscar winning producer required millions of dollars of bribes being spread around. The results however, should be worth it. Huge numbers of people have seen the film, and been exposed to the subliminal messaging it contains. When the next line of projects rolls out they will have many willing, if nerdy, people ready to join. This has proved easy to good an opportunity to miss, and after bankrolling or initiating a few dozen key members of the New Zealand film scene we have decided to use the remote Pacific island as a deniable base to attack the American film industry. Sending three natives to work on Episode 2 should serve to accustom the film-going audience to the unusual dialect of the island. Expect more films from here in the future.
