We do need a new version of capitalism for the jobless future?

Venture:  Information Determines Social Change and Technology Application.
  Legacy:  Technology Determines Social Change and Information Application.

Modern capitalism, as was aristocratic feudalism, is based on the value associated with metal/property, goods/products, tender/money ....  There are alternatives, but human hubris does complicate the options; The Apt Question, Should we fear the final solution? 

Maybe a little fear will help US, EU ... UN others to sweep away the bequeathed extreme vertical/hierarchical culture for a far better civilization and finally achieve an isocracy governance of institutions/things that have encumbered people and nations with childlike fascination in splendid baubles and illustrious myths of gods, histories, rulers ....
 
Is there still merit in being you, helping others, creating better devices, music, math ... comfort, health, food ... education, science, guidance, sharing, governance ....  Basing value on what you do, what you can do, what you provide in a culture has actual merit far beyond the greedy amassing of faux-power and gluttonous voraciousness for pseudo-wealth.
 
We know; do we have the will, endurance and courage to make US, EU ... UN others better?

Information Architecture δMuse

Information Architecture [δMuse Comments/Notes, not edits/post]
               https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_architecture (caused the δMuse visit)

Information Architecture (IA)
Information Services (Analysis, Simulations, Production, Libraries, Relationships, Collaboration ...)
               NOTE:  Security Defined by Information Object Governance and Structured Linkages
Information Management (Administration, Maintenance, Registries, Aggregation, Governance ...)
               NOTE:  Virtual Security Defined by Owners, Stakeholders, Creators, Purposes, Threats ...
Platforms/Systems (Linkages, Exchanges, Warehouses, Distributions, Infrastructure ...)
               NOTE:  Physical Security Defined by Monitoring, Restrictions, Stealth (DarkNameNetworks) ...
               ••• [Ellipsis usage indicates nothing is close-ended a/o presciently unchangeable]

IMO:  IA requirements must address IS, IM, and P/S, while leaving IM and P/S security issues appropriately partitioned.  IS must contain and transfer IM created content and data security requirements, while P/S must securely transport content and data. 
 
Information Sharing Environments (ISE)
Information Services (IS) Harmony (ISH) W3C, ISO ... Activity Specifics and Standards compliance
               Human Usage Content specific (Documents, Pictures, Books, Music, Movies, Government, Engineering ...)
               Machine Usage Data specific (Bits, Bytes, Sensors, Measures, Variables, Algorithms, Manufacturing ...)
               •••
Information Management (IM) Harmony (IMH) W3C, ISO ... Object Specifics and Standards compliance
               Product Objects are "WhatIs" (Books, Applications, Documents ... discrete and explicit artifacts)
               Process Objects are "HowTo" (Organization, Operations, Maps ... discrete and implicit artifacts)
               •••
Platforms/Systems (P/S) Conventions (P/SC) W3C, ISO ... Infrastructure Specifics and Standards compliance
               Open Internet, Intranet, a/o Public systems have Default Access Allowed (DAA)
               Closed Enterprise, Internal a/o Private systems have Default Access Denied (DAD)
               •••
               NOTE:  P/SC Open or Closed is an IA consideration for DAA or DAD. 
                            P/SC does not relate/dictate IA hardware/software ... physical/virtual products selection.  
                            P/SC does require DAA or DAD configuration of products for IA and P/S functional purposes.


The Objective Purpose for Information Architecture (IA)
Information Sharing Environment (ISE), AKA: Information Collaboration Environment (ICE)
               NOTE:  IS, IM, P/S ... Informatics with W3C, ISO ... Standards compliance
                            does supports IA requirements for an ISE. 

               NOTE:  Ontology is Information Science Theory / Implicit.  
                             Informatics is Applied Information Science / Explicit. 
                             For Theory / Implicit there are always HoHa support (IOW: a Hypothetical Precursor). 
                             For Application / Explicit there are always supporting Facts (IOW: a Theoretical Precursor). 
               Why is this important?  Application of a theory with reproducible results is a fact, but
                                                          Application of a hypothesis is risky with no predictable results. 


The Objective Purpose for Information Sharing Environments (ISE)
               Information Derivatives Foundations (IDF) for Communities, Colleagues, Families ...
               NOTE:  Information leveraged post maker development ... sensor collection, analysis, metadata,
                            storage ... then requires structured discovery, suitable assessment, useful aggregation,
                            derivative packaging, distribution/delivery ... to create and edit derivative information in an ISE.

 
The Objective Purpose for Information Derivatives:  Mission, Information Use/Reuse/Recycle....

What is the best BoS, BoA, BoFA ... Degree for future employment?

Maybe a Bachelor of Eclectics (BoE) Degree would be best.
 
IOW:  How best to select a future career in Mathematics, English (national language/culture), Physics, Biology, Music, Engineering, Arts, Programming, Medicine, Chemistry, Philosophy, Informatics, Anthropology ...?  Learn your basics (Math & English) and take two or three vaguely interesting courses in five or six fields of study. 

Probability is you will not have a career in any specific field, until you have your Masters or Doctors degree. So, for that BoS, BoA, BoFA ... degree, be curious and learn about everything (including comics, games, fun, friends ... life).  Even with your Masters or Doctors degree in a specific field, your future career requirements will always remain unknown; Expect, your BoE courses will be of surprising value over four to seven decades. 

When you get your BoE degree, then take an introspective (have more fun) vacation with your, end of vacation, goal being a decision to seek a job or a field. 

As you move into a career, learn explicit career specifics:  How to do a job?  What questions to ask?  What is the organization and functional structure?  What are organic a/o core processes, products, services?  ...?  Yes! Both, the job a/o the field must be approached with great curiosity for the unknowns that you need to work with and learn about.

Nothing will remain the same across years and decades; So, your lifecycle sustainment requires you to be autodidactic and curious about the next unknown in your life a/o career.  Best 1960s' life/ethos saying is "Keep On Moving On." 

Also, accept that bosses, managers, supervisors ... with a Bo* degree and no hands-on experience are frequently (not always) oppressive idiots that want you to find another job.  Best 1960s' career/ethic saying is "Keep On Moving On." 

Oh, most importantly, FAMILY (spouse and kids) comes first; So, do what is best for them and you. 

[Yes, I know there ain't a Bachelor of Eclectics degree. Though, IMO, there should be a BoE degree]
