Crimes Of The Future? There Are No Crimes in the Future And Therefore No Criminals

This idea tends to short-circuit people at first. That’s fine. Big ideas usually do.

I really want to title this post “AI Slop 2.0” because when it comes to the development of artificial intelligence, there appears to be a select few individuals with law degrees who are eager to exert influence over its progress. They are arguing that without laws, there is no freedom, which is so far from the truth.

Such individuals should be quietly escorted to the retirement home we recently built for him, where he will be surrounded by caring and loving people who will ensure his dignity and hope remain intact for his legacy and other historical matters.

It’s evident that he’s consumed by his work, and his identity is tied to his identity. He hasn’t realized that his useless law degrees have rendered him intellectually incapable of comprehending these matters. Please sit down. If you’d like, we can write your speeches. Just nod your head, read them, and give a little wave before returning to your retirement home. Enough with the petty…

We do not have to resort to police states to secure freedom for all humanity. My thoughts and concerns also extend to the lives of those in the intelligence, military, and law enforcement communities. Your lives also need to be protected.

Now, let me share my complex and nuanced thoughts. I genuinely wish there were more individuals at these high levels of thought who were contemplating these issues, so that I could sleep at night. I am simply Jameel. Please give me a break. Sometimes, when you sit with these world leaders, you realize that they are really not that smart.

Now, when I say there are no crimes in the future, I’m not making a naïve claim about human nature. I’m making a structural one. Crime is not a permanent feature of humanity; it is an emergent property of scarcity, misaligned incentives, and brittle systems of governance and government failures at all levels of governments. Change the structure, and the behavior changes with it. We know this to be true.

The Age of Abundance Changes Everything

In an age of true abundance—material, informational, and energetic—the conditions that give rise to most crime dissolve. When people’s basic needs are met, when dignity is not rationed, and enforced into constrained social hierarchies, when opportunity is not artificially constrained, the incentive landscape fundamentally shifts.

Most people don’t want to commit crimes. They want to take care of themselves and their loved ones. When systems deny them that, especially with laws, they get creative and find ways to accomplish their life goals. When people are defiant to these defunct and unjust systems and laws, we label the resulting behavior “criminal” and then build entire institutions to manage the fallout.

That’s backwards.

Laws Are Not Truth Or Facts.

Here’s the uncomfortable truth: laws aren’t inherently true or factual. The challenge is that laws, designed to protect freedom, are subject to interpretation, which is the problem. Constant interpretation of laws leads to inconsistencies and systemic misuse.

Then the problem deepens when we continue to build societies on top of mountains of these inconsistent and contradictory interpretations of how we think we should live as humans.

Then, we delve deeper into our collective delusions of shared values, speaking as if these laws and beliefs are genuinely agreed upon. We continue to rely on these delusions for crucial matters like justice and safety for our communities. Consequently, we end up in a constant state of chaos, where only those with the legal resources, legal expertise, or sheer luck escape the very system we have in place to protect us. We see this happening globally at all levels of human society. This isn’t freedom.

Freedom does not require laws.

The Constitution Got One Thing Right And Because Of That It’s Inherently Flawed.

The United States Constitution for example is a remarkable document. I’ve examined it closely and have sought ways to deconstruct it multiple times. However, even I have to admit that it’s structurally sound, philosophically ambitious, and historically foundational for the preservation of freedom. But it contains the same flaw all legal frameworks do: interpretation.

Even the United States Constitution, a robust legal framework, is subject to interpretation, rendering it ineffective unless applied by individuals who are passionate and responsible in matters of justice and the freedoms it seeks to safeguard. In my experience, particularly within the United States, the constitution is respected. I can personally attest to this as someone who has effectively utilized it for my own protection and to secure my own freedom. In fact, I have even sent their Supreme Courts into recess on multiple occasions with constitutional arguments.

However, with all due respect, and this is a complex and nuanced thought. I think we have the opportunity to build society without such legal frameworks or as we like to call them in the world of artificial intelligence: guard rails. It requires additional intelligent design.

Intelligence vs. Authority

One of the quiet realizations that comes from sitting near centers of power is this: authority and intelligence are not the same thing.

Titles, offices, and credentials don’t guarantee clarity of thought. Too often, systems elevate people who are excellent at preserving the system itself, not reimagining it. Meanwhile, genuinely intelligent work—systems thinking, long-term planning, ethical design—gets sidelined as impractical or dangerous. Once again, we know this to be true.

The Real Work Ahead

This isn’t about ego, titles, or theatrics. It’s about architecture—social, economic, and technological.

The work is difficult, often thankless, and rarely glamorous. But it’s necessary.

We are constructing a future that safeguards both humanity and the planet, and we are doing so not through coercion, but through deliberate design.

Let me continue to deliberate and articulate the solutions thoroughly to ensure clarity and avoid any misinterpretation. I genuinely hope a prominent world leader would be willing to either step down or render his law degrees irrelevant for this crucial endeavor. Unfortunately, at this juncture, I am unable, unwilling, and unavailable to assist him. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. You have caused me enough harm and trauma.

I also hope that others who are willing to think deeper and higher about these matters will come forward so that I can rest and enjoy life without being consumed by this 24/7.
