AI as the abundant ice machine, fridges as the means to store and utilize that abundance of ice, and Bitcoin as a potential universally accessible fridge.

To summarize the core insight:

• AI dramatically increases productivity and wealth (ice abundance).

• Without accessible infrastructure (fridges), many can’t benefit, so wealth gaps widen.

• UBI is a temporary redistribution but doesn’t build lasting capacity or empowerment (just passing ice around).

• Capital flight and taxing the rich too heavily can harm innovation and reduce overall growth — not positive sum.

• The ultimate goal: a system that retains and grows purchasing power and empowers all people to participate sustainably — a “refrigeration system” everyone can access.
