Phase transitions came to humanity when 1 or 2 of limited energy, limited storage limited compute change. For ex. printing press - increase storage
We are on an never ending journey to find more energy, more storage and more compute, when we find these things society expands.
Is AI going to be one of the big advancement in humanity? Standing on the shoulders of many inventions/discoveries before it. Possibly, this is why we need a way to capture these productivity gains and allow them to flow to the masses or watch the world centralize in power, wealth and control.
Storage is moving into computers and is computing and learning on its own at a faster and faster rate with more and more storage (information layers).
We will merge with machines. The next evolution to humanoid. The singularity?
Can AI, bitcoin allow abundance to be had by all? Should we not live in a world where our needs are met and we have an abundance of everything, if indeed AI will drive marginal cost of production to zero, abundant energy sources and a deflationary currency?
Stopping prices from falling is saying centralize all power.
We have financial regulation to protect your from a system designed to steal from you... silly
How could that go wrong?? lol
Pete: What does this all look like?
We have to infer what it would look like because we haven't lived in this new system.. A true paradigm shift.
This new world works exactly the opposite of the system we are in now.
Work less to gain more.
Just as wages are sticky in an inflationary system, wages are sticky in a deflationary world as well and won’t fall as fast as prices are falling.
Massive transfer of wealth back to productive members of society.
In this deflationary world people will be able to live on less and less and less forever.
We don’t pay for the oxygen we breathe because it’s abundant, but we pay for it in space and underwater because the marginal cost of production is higher.
It’s hard to see or we can’t see that we are artificially creating that scarcity in everything else.. Natural order of things would drive more and more things to abundance.
We must intuit or imagine how this new world could look like? What would you do with your life if you only had to work 10hrs a week and had all your core needs met?
Could this possibly mean a new renaissance of human flourishing?
Tick tock next block…
