The first truly human public administration… precisely because it isn’t run by humans.

The Automation of Public Administration: The End of Human Management and the Beginning of Intelligent Governance

In our book The Second Renaissance (published in April 2025), we explored for the first time the idea that a truly regenerative society must remove human beings from the center of public administration. There we laid the foundations of a concept that we now expand with greater depth:

the complete automation of public administration within the Ecosocial Regenerative System (S.E.R.).

This article offers a general overview of the topic, but it is in the upcoming book where the technical, philosophical, and operational architecture of this system will be fully developed.

Today, humanity already possesses the technology, tools, and technical capacity needed to solve virtually all the major problems we face: from ecosystem restoration to energy and food self-sufficiency, as well as advanced water-capture systems, natural building, agroecology, AI, renewable energies, and regenerative production models. We do not lack knowledge or technology; what we lack is a system that allows us to apply them without distortion. The real obstacle is not technical, it is structural. We are operating within an economic and social system that functions like a defective operating system: it incentivizes exploitation, rewards unproductive accumulation, punishes regeneration, and perpetuates human tendencies that are incompatible with planetary limits.

This is why it makes no sense to propose technical, permacultural, or ecological solutions if we continue trying to install them on a system designed to fail. It is like trying to grow a forest in contaminated soil: the seed is good, the technique is sound, but the environment destroys it. For regenerative solutions to truly work —and not merely inspire, we must implement systemic changes that transcend human limitations in public administration and resource governance. This means adopting automated, transparent, and incorruptible models such as accumulated democracy, blockchain, bioeconomics, and the automation of public administration. Only then can we unlock the technical potential we already possess and build communities that are genuinely beyond sustainable and can be regenerative.

The Root of the Problem: Human Evolutionary Baggage

This is a concept we have been examining for nearly nine years, and we believe it is absolutely essential to acknowledge.

History and evidence seem to show one undeniable truth:

Human beings, in their current stage of evolution, are psychologically incapable (due to their evolutionary design) of managing resources impartially, transparently, and without bias, especially when large quantities of resources are involved.

We must also recognize that our technological ability and the speed of its development have far surpassed our cognitive capacity and our ability to manage it responsibly for the sake of our planet and all species, including our own.

Humanity inherited a mind designed to:

• survive in small clans

• manage scarce resources

• react emotionally to immediate threats

• favor members of one’s own group

• think short-term

• react unconsciously to inherited fears and traumas

• and make decisions based on unconscious biases

This is what we call evolutionary baggage, and although it is understandable from a biological point of view, it is disastrous for contemporary public administration.

Psychologically and evolutionarily, humans:

• Are not built to manage large-scale resources

Our neurology is tribal, limited, and deeply emotional.

• Cannot be fully impartial

The mind naturally favors family, friends, allies, and familiar people.

• Are vulnerable to corruption, pressure, and conflicts of interest

Not out of malice, but because of cognitive structure.

• Become overwhelmed by complexity

Thousands of variables, budgets, demands, and emergencies exceed our natural processing limits.

For this reason, insisting that human beings should administer large volumes of public resources, infrastructure, or community budgets is like asking a wolf to manage sheep:

It is not a moral failure — it is a structural impossibility.

The Solution: Removing Humans From the Administrative Equation

For a self-sustaining community to function regeneratively, humans should participate in:

• creativity

• design

• service

• care

• deliberation

• craftsmanship

• science

• real work

But not in:

• administration

• resource allocation

• budget management

• bureaucratic processes

• execution of payments or contracts

• public financial decision-making

Administration is better entrusted to systems that are:

• neutral,

• mathematical,

• auditable,

• incorruptible,

• transparent.

This is where three pillars come in:

1. Blockchain

It allows each operation to:

• be recorded,

• be audited,

• remain unaltered,

• and exist without human intermediaries.

2. Sensor-Based Automated AI

This AI monitors:

• energy flows

• production

• commerce

• ecological impact

• resource wear

• community needs

• regenerative priorities

It is an “administrative organ” that thinks without bias, calculates without emotion, and prioritizes without favoritism.

3. Accumulated Democracy

This system allows communities to make decisions without falling into:

• populism

• temporary majorities

• media manipulation

• or power struggles

Voting is not “yes” or “no.”

Each vote contributes a percentage of implementation, and the system adjusts the intensity of the change in real time.

A Practical Example: How Taxes Would Be Distributed in an S.E.R. Eco-Village

Imagine a self-sustaining eco-village or regenerative settlement that uses:

• blockchain

• sensor-based AI

• accumulated democracy

• and the CPR formula (Regenerative Primary Cost)

At the end of the year, the system analyzes ALL economic activity:

• production

• services

• exchange of goods

• ecological impact

• energy and water usage

• educational, social, or regenerative contributions

Based on this data, the AI determines an automatic tax-like rate that does NOT go to a government but to:

• nature (ecological restoration)

• the humans who contributed value

• the most necessary projects for the community

How Is This Money Allocated?

Through an app on their phone —or through publicly accessible lists— each person sees:

• how much tax value they accumulated that year

• which areas need resources, according to what the system monitors and records

• which priorities the system recommends

• the percentage of implementation each area has under Accumulated Democracy

People can then decide exactly where to direct their contributions, distributing their tax balance with a single click, guided by system recommendations or personal experience. They may allocate funds to:

• water maintenance

• soil restoration

• education

• regenerative health

• infrastructure

• energy

• food

• arts and culture

• security

What Does the System Do?

In real time, the system:

• Adds up the accumulated votes

  (more votes → larger budget)

• Calculates regenerative priority

• Assigns funds automatically

• Sends resources directly to the worker or provider

  (no intermediaries, no bureaucrats, no corruption)

• Registers everything on blockchain

  ensuring total transparency and immutability

The community can see on their phone:

• who is executing what

• how much they received

• project progress

• and its regenerative impact

This completely eliminates:

• paperwork

• middlemen

• public offices

• resource diversion

• political interests

• favoritism

• slow bureaucracy

• corruption

Paradoxically, the Most Humane Public Administration Is the One No Longer Run by Humans

Instead, it is governed by:

• mathematics

• transparency

• automation

• traceability

• accumulated democracy

• regenerative bioeconomy

Thus, we free human beings from a task for which they were never designed, and return them to their true nature:

to create, serve, heal, learn, build, teach, and regenerate.

Automation does not dehumanize society.

It liberates it.

In our next book, we will explore the technical, mathematical, and operational aspects in depth, including:

• the technical architecture

• compatibility with the CPR

• sensors

• community AI

• accumulated voting mechanisms

• and the S.E.R. models for value and resource allocation

It will be the natural continuation of The Second Renaissance —another step toward the civilization emerging ahead.

This Model Can Begin One Community at a Time

This system does not require a total and simultaneous global transformation.

It does not need to be imposed from above nor replace traditional systems overnight.

It can begin one node at a time—one eco-village, one regenerative settlement, one autonomous community.

Each community can define its own operational parameters and adapt the metrics to its scale, culture, and needs.

The beauty of the system is that it does not depend on large national structures, but on autonomous micro-ecosystemsfunctioning like living cells within a broader organism.

Over time, evidence will speak for itself: communities that adopt this architecture will demonstrate greater stability, equity, efficiency, and resilience.

This is why we recommend implementing it exactly as presented here, without altering essential parameters or modifying the internal logic beyond the basic structural framework.

In practice, life itself measurable results, economic flows, ecological regeneration, and social cohesion will reveal which adjustments work best.

Our role is to offer a clear, functional, and replicable design ready for any community seeking to govern itself through intelligence, transparency, and regeneration.

We simply wish to propose new concepts, ideas, and ways of managing life and resources in a wiser, more transparent, more just, and more dynamic manner.

Peace and progress for all humanity is our deepest wish, and we will continue sharing more in the coming months.
