“I think we'll need new governance structures, institutions probably to help with this transition. So I think political philosophy and political science is going to be key to that.

But I think the number one thing, first of all, is to create more abundance of resources. So that's the number one thing, increase productivity, get more resources, maybe eventually get out of the zero-sum situation. Then the second question is how to use those resources and distribute those resources.

But yeah, you can't do that without having that abundance first.”

Root problem, one of them, is people abusing power.

I think we can't prevent that from happening so lets start by reducing power concentration.

That means way less government, way smaller companies.

Yes, that probably means less luxury.

If unlimited resources would solve things we already would be happy.

But the fiat system proves that unlimited fiat doesn't solve anything long term.

I think we should learn what really makes us happy.

And mostly material stuff is just a small part of that.
