Here’s a rephrased disclaimer. Neither we nor anyone else is free from the baggage of the present, which shapes the future. No one knows the answers. It’s amusing to try to speculate, yet you will see some speculation below. This is not a dogma. At the very least, because the nature and spectrum of crimes are determined by the social formation. Speculation was a negative trait in the USSR, highway robbery during feudalism, and cartel agreements in modern society.
Thus, it is impossible to even speculate about what crimes and what criminals will exist in the new society. What can be assumed is the types of crimes that will not occur (or will be minimized) due to the lack of meaning behind them.
It’s also important to understand that when describing a certain vision, for example, what should be done with a serial killer, it is simply a vision and in no way is it about creating laws or asserting that society will act in that way. People are subjective, and if someone has an idea… forgiveness If some are pleasant, then others are cruel and vengeful. But what about society as a whole? There is no “one-size-fits-all.”
Now to the answer. The answer is very simple. We need to filter.

Sources of crimes
- We divide crimes into selfish and selfless. The former can only occur in a transparent society or out of foolishness, meaning they belong to a lower category. Minor crimes, in general, disappear. Even car theft is simply treated as a temporary rental at your expense due to unfavorable rates. 🙂
- Selfless crimes are divided into “shameful” and “not shameful.” Shameful ones are those that a person commits without wanting others to know about it. Of course— it is impossible to commit them Shameless people are a clinic. They need treatment. And doctors are still needed.
- To treat. It is believed that mental illnesses often arise from a lack of attention and communication—such problems diminish in a transparent society, and consequently, there are far fewer patients.
- Peeking into a women’s shower is only acceptable if the women are unaware that you’re watching. But here, they know. It’s uncomfortable. You’ll be ostracized, they’ll take to Facebook, call you a pervert, and provide evidence (observations of the observer 🙂). Moreover, if it’s a children’s shower, good luck finding a job with such records or having normal conversations with your neighbors.
- Visitors to the shower in such a society will likely adopt the indifference of nudists. Who really cares? Let them do their thing. In general, there will be fewer problems with sexual relationships. It will always be easier to find a partner. There will also be special baths for exhibitionists who don’t mind being watched. Or even watched for a fee.
Now for the most “snackable” part. Affect, domestic quarrels, and so on. We will filter this out and see that conflicts mainly arise from different levels of awareness among people regarding a particular issue, or from differing viewpoints on it. It might already be worth considering, as a preventive measure against family disputes, selling sets of recording cameras in apartments so that people can later figure out who started it and who should apologize. Plus, the recording itself would help calm people down.
Affect or “accidentalness.” Well, it happens. Well—it’s worth it. to punish No one is saying that there won’t be police. By the way, in such a society, it could become private and alternative. But it will have much less work to do. And it’s always possible to understand the causes and consequences of an event, and truly “random” things can be forgiven. Of course, karma will be affected. But still, the person is not in prison.
Let’s continue our discussion.
The thing is, we live in a society with asymmetric information. As a result, people tend to rely on indirect indicators and create simplifying patterns to make life easier. For example, employers are looking for talented specialists, but they focus not on talent itself, but on industry experience and higher education. However, industry experience can often indicate the opposite— the unnecessity of that person and their inability to grow, while a higher education may simply be a sign that someone spent five years doing something pointless and doing it almost for free.
- In our society, you can’t see a person through and through, and what they might do is judged based on what they have done. But this is fundamentally wrong. If people make mistakes, they tend not to repeat them. No one sticks their fingers in an outlet twice. However, if you honestly write in your resume, “I stuck my fingers in an outlet,” people will think you’re an idiot, rather than just someone who was experimenting with the nature of things at the age of three.
- In a transparent world, people will have to be more tolerant of each other, as everyone will have their own skeletons in the closet. For example, the existing family morals have become riddled with double standards, which is the foundation of the film “What Men Talk About.” Cheating is not allowed. Well, it is allowed, but only if no one knows. Or rather, it’s allowed, but only if the wife doesn’t know; or rather, it’s allowed, but only if no one knows that the wife knows. But marital infidelity is more of a rule than an exception. In other words, it’s in human nature. So, it turns out that people will simply become more tolerant of affairs on the side.
It may seem that “once you stumble, you can’t wash it off,” but in the world, everyone stumbles and makes mistakes. Love It also evolves. This means that forgiveness will evolve as well. If a person, for example, used to sit in prison, now that might be seen as a sign of potential criminal tendencies. That’s why there are laws that erase a prison sentence from a person’s record after a certain period following their conviction. But in that transparent tomorrow, a prison sentence (if it is even possible—crime often stems from lack of education, lack of prospects, inability to foresee consequences, and the opportunity to benefit from criminal acts) will mean nothing or will signify that the person has understood everything and is safe (the dangerous ones are treated). Well, honestly, who hasn’t stolen something in childhood? Everyone. Thank you.
Individual moments
About sexual perversions
Well, everyone has their own “quirks.” Shenderovich has a thing for mattresses (by the way, a good example of manipulating power through the right to information and the permissibility of hidden camera filming), Ivanov sticks a mop up his backside at night, Sidorov is a fan of interesting “strawberries” in the sauna, Petrov just masturbates, and Kovalenko secretly got circumcised. So what? Does that affect his productivity, his ability to do his job, or the taste of the buns he bakes (let’s just check if he washes his hands)? People might fear sexual shame because, potentially, everyone is open to something like that. Let’s remember the active homophobes who turn out to be latent homosexuals.
About pedophilia
Come on… well, a person loves children. Sincerely. So let him be a preschool teacher :-). He won’t be seducing anyone anyway — it’s all transparent. This way, he can find a way to express his love. Or even if people are afraid to leave their children alone with him, then… he can become a computer programmer. It’s also worth considering where pedophilia actually comes from and why it seems so artificially relevant today. The Greeks had relationships with boys, and everything was fine. And even if we assume societal disapproval of some nonsense and the effect of “a lingering feeling,” thanks to widespread awareness, such people will find others like them and form their own communities, where no one will bother them and they will understand each other.
The drug addict Butylchkin will go to the hospital where he is registered and receive a free dose. He will also have some kind of job due to society’s tolerance towards people like him. Well, he’s using, poor guy. Here, sweep the yard. We believe in you; you won’t steal anything (there’s no point in stealing). Instead, let’s think together about how you can get off the needle.
We should try to look at the things that scare us now from a different perspective. And for each specific crime, we should attempt to envision it in that new society. So far, in our discussions, it has turned out that this…
- or impossible (self-serving crimes);
- or “it wouldn’t even occur to me to do this in front of everyone” (masturbating to the boss);
- or “so what” (jerking off to porn);
- or “everyone was like that” (stole in childhood, vandalized, fought, argued, thought poorly of the boss);
- or “they need to be treated” (the mentally ill);
- or “people will be different” (the same perpetrators commit violence due to the inaccessibility of women and their own low cultural standards).
Will there be prisons… Well, definitely not on the same scale as now. Probably like a quarantine. As a protection against possible revenge. After all, it’s much easier to categorize “typical” criminals into types and send them to a reservation created for their own good.
It’s always important to understand the overall levels of crime in a transparent society with a developed infrastructure. Look at rural America. There are no locks on the doors there. People leave their keys in the car “just in case someone needs them.”
