Abstract

Limits of large scale system economic growth are negatively influencing on people level of life that leads to social instability. To consider this problem, psycho physiological model of artificial consciousness of a farseeing hedonist as the element of large scale socio-economic system is developed and investigated. It is shown that human nature of consumer produces constantly growing desire. After reaching the limits of growth, people from consumer society feel persistent negative emotions and dissatisfaction. It provides the problem of socio-economic stagnation. Its traditional solutions can be increasing of demand, or decreasing a consumption followed by its growth. Alternative humanistic solution is replacing the consumer values to spiritual ones.
