Abolishing capitalism and instituting a true representative democracy would be a great start. Shift control of the means of production to the working class.

The biggest issue is with the inevitable human corruption that will inherently grow over time. Every system, no matter how many check and balances, if reliant on humans in pivotal roles, will be subject to coercion and corruption.

Eliminating the human element is something this subreddit has unique insight into and that I believe is necessary for a true egalitarian (and livable) future.

Sure but because of people like elon a lot of my friends don't trust the tech industry currently. They always go off about how in the future web 3.0 will force everyone to pay subscription fees for everything.

They aren't at all wrong to do so. It should be very clear to anyone paying attention that the subscription service to everything in life has been pushed harder and harder. Per Klaus Schwab's "You will own nothing and be happy" it is a coordinated world wide effort.

We can build AI and tech without corporations. Many incredible breakthroughs have come from governemnt research.

Subscription fees and individual transactions.

And you should be blaming the models developed by mobile gaming platforms and Microsoft, not Musk.

What economic system do you have that is better than capitalism?

I don't think the system currently exists. I would like to apply AI to helping address that issue with the objectives of equality, sustainability and global cooperation as prime factors for consideration.

I also think it's silly to think a singular system of governance will be ideal for all purposes at all points in time. We've seen how badly the founding principals of the US have adapted to modern technology and corruption.
