Video summary
The video explores the concept of "Universal High Income" and its evolution into a vision of radical abundance where access to goods and services resembles accessing a digital music file. In this future state, resources such as electricity, food, housing, and healthcare become public goods that are non-rivalrous; one person's use does not prevent another from using them simultaneously. The speaker argues that through advanced AI, robotics, and supply-side deflation, the cost of producing these essentials will plummet to near zero. Consequently, traditional monetary systems based on scarcity and debt would become obsolete, allowing humanity to transition toward a model where basic needs are met without the need for currency or labor exploitation.
However, the discussion critically examines Elon Musk's proposal for Universal High Income, suggesting that printing money to pay citizens is unnecessary if production costs are already negligible due to technological abundance. Instead of relying on inflationary monetary solutions, the proposed path forward involves creating regenerative communities powered by decentralized intelligent infrastructure. In these communities, the focus shifts from accumulating wealth in real estate or financial assets to valuing essential resources like clean water and food highly, while treating luxury items as digital experiences. This approach aims to dismantle the current debt-based economy, pay off national debts within two decades, and eliminate the need for property taxes or representative democracy by replacing them with direct, liquid consensus models at the micro-community level.
The ultimate goal is to achieve a state of zero latency between human desire and reality, where individuals can access any physical object instantly without cost, much like downloading a file. While physical abundance ensures everyone has access to necessities, digital experiences will serve as the primary realm for expression, art, and simulation, allowing people to enjoy virtual versions of luxury items like jet skis or fancy purses without the environmental and economic burdens of physical production. This distinction creates two parallel layers: a physical world of abundant, free resources accessible to all, and a digital layer for immersive simulations and creative expression. By living in this paradigm, humanity can escape the addictive cycle of scarcity-driven economics, reclaim freedom from debt, and focus entirely on consciousness expansion, family, and genuine human connection.

I did a little bit of reading this
weekend on universal high income.
>> Yeah.
>> And um
I just hadn't considered that there. It
was really my first time considering it.
I heard uh I heard Elon Musk talking
about that in a podcast and I was like,
"How have I not heard of this concept
before?"
>> I haven't either. And
>> really embraced it.
say if they
>> yeah anymore
>> well universal high income was you know
whatever since like 20 since the 20 like
whatever 1617 AI um exploration
um picking up heat universal basic
income became popular and then people
started to conceptualize what other
forms of that could be and one of them
was universal high income or some People
have been calling it luxury communism,
which is kind of funny, too.
>> That is funny.
>> Luxury communism.
>> Yeah.
>> Okay.
>> Yeah. That doesn't ring very well.
>> Sounds like a mockery of it.
>> Yeah. I'm just I'm just a messenger
anyway.
>> Um
>> No, no, no. I get that. It's just it's
>> it's funny.
>> That sounds like a somebody who's
definitely mocking it.
>> I don't know. Some some people say that
that's taken off steam as well. But um
so then um uh you know whatever
abundance economics is also whatever
there's that there's there's other ways
or post scarcity economics is another um
way of describing kind of
>> how do you describe what would an
economic situation look like? How would
you describe it with no ownership?
>> Well,
>> you don't have money.
>> Yeah. Well, but see, this is where this
is where there's so much noise in my
opinion. I mean,
>> yeah, we we said this before we got on
the call. We were eating and we were
saying, you know, stop stop drowning out
the meta idea with proliferation.
>> Yeah.
>> So, just keep the big simple core thing
there and hold it.
>> Hold it. Stop getting objective.
So,
so you know,
um,
so
the in my way of saying it is that
everything would become like a digital
music file.
Your access to electricity, your access
to any good or service becomes like
accessing a music file, which is that
it's basically become a public good. you
having access to it does not preclude
anybody else from having access to it
and everybody can have access to it at
the same time and it's free.
>> Yeah,
>> that's what the future of all goods and
services can be like. So that's not
universal high income. It's not luxury
communism, not post scarcity economics,
not abundance.
>> Yeah. I'm just saying all those words
are just words
trying I don't know. Some of them aren't
even getting us there in my opinion.
Some of them are just perpetuating the
wounding, but in another flavor of it,
and it's still gonna have
>> it's not going to be the
>> light city utopia. That's how I say see
it and say.
>> No, that's
>> I really like that analogy, Atlas.
Um
because what you're describing is it
still takes time and energy to create a
music file,
>> but once it's created,
>> to disseminate it
>> and for everybody to own it and have
access to it is virtually
>> pennies or dollars total.
And with enough supply side deflation,
every good and resource can be zero.
>> It's the ideal revisit how that actually
unfolded perhaps because Andy the fact
that the the first thing that happened
with like decentralization of music
is hilarious.
>> Well, it has its own issues and stuff
like that. We don't need to
>> I like that it's the res. Yeah,
>> we don't need to get into the issues of
it, but the the fact that it's music in
in resonance is is great. Yes,
>> that's the because what unfolds after
music
scientifically, what unfolds after
sound?
>> Food. I don't know. I was in
electricity.
That's what I would like.
>> Shape.
>> Mhm.
>> Pattern.
>> Shape.
>> Yep. So there's a pattern now from music
of that decentralization
uh that the the function that came out
of it.
>> Well said. Yep. I agree.
>> And that's what tried to happen with the
Bitcoin white paper in 2008, but it got
corrupted in 20 years really [ __ ]
badly.
>> Yeah.
>> So it tried doing the same thing. It got
corrupted really badly. And now you have
world liberty financial where you can
money money launder$ two billion dollars
in a public office for
>> that was probably just not
the right it's not in the right order
because that's like an idea of an idea
money you know
>> but
>> do you know what I mean?
>> Yeah it was Yeah.
Yeah. Anyway, anyway, we don't actually
even need to get even to even the the
the Bitcoin white paper was an attempt
to to to decentralize a a monetary
system,
>> but a monetary system is still a
monetary system. It is not Yeah.
>> all goods and services being like music
files,
>> right?
>> Yeah.
>> It's akin to the words aren't quite
getting there. It's more proliferating.
and I proliferate.
>> Yeah.
>> So, let me play with that for an
ideoquent.
Um
his argument was that
because of AI and technology and robots,
the ability to produce goods and
services will be so robust
that the economy itself will become so
um
valuable
that there's plenty enough opportunity
with the because of the the value of
goods and services that enter the
marketplace to be able to just simply
print money to pay a high income to
every member, you know, everybody in the
United States.
>> Yeah, I'm very familiar with his um way
of describing universal high income. Um
again
um
um you can view it from the angle of you
know AI and robotics generating so much
you know abundance you know again right
currently it's privatelyowned companies
and um I think I think
I love I love Elon tremendously um and
he's probably one of you know the better
of the um AI oligarchs
um
and um
um to to try to take a um a
multi-trillion dollar AI and robotics
company that makes um everything at very
very uh at hopefully very very low cost.
There's again no guarantee even that. Um
um and then to you know to somehow
shepherd through a decentralization of
ownership of that tr multi-t trillion
dollar company um by all people and then
all people again you know why why why
are we printing money for universal high
income if all of the objects that a
multi- trillion dollar um AI and
robotics manufacturing company is
already producing at very very very
cheap if not no money. So some of the
mental models themselves are not there.
I would
>> the way that in my in my understanding
the way forward is what I call supply
side deflation. It is decreasing the
cost of all of the basic goods and
services through a tremendous amount of
increase in the supply of them. Supply
of electricity so abundant. Supply of
food and animals so abundant. Supply of
housing so abundant, unbelievably
abundant to where the cost is basically
nothing. Then what you do is you use
that one, two, three trillion dollars
every year that you're not expending on
war and all of those other
um you're using the benefit of supply
side deflation to then pay off the
United States debt. Um, and within, you
know, 20 years, if you pay off the
United States debt and you have
regenerative
communities that have sprouted up across
the US and have blueprinted themselves
across the world, you can actually
completely close the federal bank.
So that's the way that um and you can
let those those uh what we call
intelligent infrastructure systems that
are totally decentralized and owned by
everybody where everybody has access to
Bohemian Raps City. You can play right
now. It doesn't preclude anybody else
from playing it. Everybody owns it like
a decentralized file. The same thing
being true for housing, internet, food,
water, healthcare, education, virtual
reality, immersive things, choices,
games, everything. You're you're set.
Once an intelligent infrastructure is
placed for all eight billion people,
there's no need for a Chinese yuan or a
United States dollar or a Russian ruble.
>> We really do have to make the first one.
The first one is the the thing that
makes everybody see that this is
possible.
>> Yeah.
>> And they it gives
>> see their reflection.
>> It Yes. It gives them something to
visit. It's it becomes like a national
landmark. It becomes a global landmark.
Basically, this is the first
>> global imprint.
>> It's a global imprint. It's the first
intelligent infrastructure community
that is built where children wake up
with zero dollars in debt
and they don't have to sell a minute of
their life to pay for a basic need.
>> They don't have to contract immediately
open their eyes.
>> Yeah.
>> You open your eyes and it's
>> Yeah. Yeah. So that's we need to go that
example needs to be lived at. So five,
10 houses, whatever,
>> you know, lived at with people and um
>> my children.
>> Yes.
And Andy and Haley's and myself as well.
Yeah,
>> we've got a Yeah.
So
I mean yeah it's it's totally
you know it's totally there but it needs
again you need it needs to be like a
global landmark that people fly to
travel to to see with their own eyes and
then they
>> then they see it out and then they see
it outside of their metros. They see it
in Japan. They see it in Saudi Arabia.
They see it in South Africa and in
California, Oregon, etc.
Is it proliferation to to wonder where
exactly on Earth's grid lines these
would be the most effective?
>> Is that just
>> No, not no
>> or invention.
>> No, it's not. It's it's it's a great
question because it it does it takes you
know every community is going to to some
extent be different primarily
>> harmonics place. Well, the you're
correct. There are harmonics, but there
are, you know, the intelligent
infrastructure is predicated on, you
know, on on on a lot of things. You
know, one of them is weather. Weather is
an important one.
>> Um, soil is an important one as well,
even though, you know, green houses can
have in interior soil systems. But, um,
anyway, there there are aspects that are
important also. You you know, I don't
know. Yeah, you want to work with places
that are willing to give you um very
good, you know, treatment for this as
well, so that you're not, you know, if
you can get some sort of special
development zone designation and at
least for 99 years until renewal or 30
or 60 years until renewal, if you can
get some sort of an a comp a 100%
property tax abatement, that would be
most ideal.
So there are a lot of nuances like that
that need to be put into account with
that.
>> Yes. So the more points we have like
that, the closer we bring our
bring it to appear
to us.
>> Yeah.
Andy, did that help um with the
universal highinccome
understanding?
>> Yeah. Yeah, your perspective was um a
good perspective.
>> All right, cool.
>> Mine is just a little simpler take. It's
just like, yeah, just build the
infrastructure
for basic needs
and
make those basic needs actually super
valuable
in a way that the basic needs outweigh
the value of anything else.
So
water instead of being a dollar, water
becomes $100
because we start to value clean water as
a primary
major focal point of basic need.
Healthy food, we start valuing it at a
hugger amount.
>> Yeah.
>> So it prices out the
uh in our lives.
So like
in my mind the way that you do that is
you start valuing clean water and clean
electricity and clean food
>> at way higher than
any other cheap stuff like cheap Chinese
toys.
>> Mhm.
>> Um
or or any of the other stuff. And then
you create a new layer of of basic need
value
where the standard becomes so high that
it actually can break off its own layer
and become its own
uh its own system. And this was kind of
the goal of home DAO was that you you
actually only pay for basic needs using
the DAO token.
>> Yeah.
>> You don't use US dollars. US dollars
become frivolous.
>> They become the things that you buy like
>> ice cream cones and jet skis with.
>> Yeah. And
the things that have like the real
>> the real
>> true value
>> you you pay for in home dow tokens.
>> It makes sense. This is making more
sense to me now that you can describe it
like that. Because if you're inherently
placing value
where it originates, where it really is,
you are understanding that it's your
time,
not money.
It's your
experience.
you know uh your values are not set by
oh money is more important than my time.
It's the reverse
>> right. Yeah. It resets value
>> in a different
>> category so that you think of it it with
a whole different paradigm of like
>> whoa whoa whoa basic needs like we don't
with those.
>> Yeah. Yeah. And it's sort of a in a
funny not not sneaky, it's a cute way uh
incorporates
those that are functioning
developmentally in a very egocentric
state.
>> Yeah,
you figure it out quick because you're
like, "Oh, well that's a totally
different financial system for
>> you know
extra purses."
>> Yeah.
Uh-huh.
Yeah. And you're sort of declaring by
with that uh declaration of value,
>> right?
>> Where does that where does what you were
saying and what this idea is
where's the fuzziness?
Um
um the fuzziness is I don't know like
seems like from um the models that we
built in 2022 I think I've I've taken a
pretty strong um shift.
Um
I think I've I've really started taking
economics a lot more ser like I started
taking physics and then economics a lot
more seriously after consciousness.
Um and I think my
um
I think my understanding of freeing
consciousness has shifted from the home
downow model that we built in 2022 to um
to something else. Um, and I think that
the model I think the model that we
built I think was phenomenal and
fantastic and I think it still has a
tremendous amount of
um
value idea potential.
Um,
I just I I I wouldn't see that as the
the the quote ultimate bodhicattva
timeline. I wouldn't I wouldn't see it
that way. I wouldn't see it I wouldn't
>> I wouldn't see it where where where
where
ba where basic needs would become the
you know multi- gazillion bajillion um
asset that everybody you know equally
owns and then everything else is um
um peanuts compared to that. And um and
we're still like, you know, using money
to buy the peanuts stuff. Um
yeah, or even if you don't use money to
like it just none of that makes sense to
me anymore. The universal high income
method doesn't make sense to me any like
no to me. Yeah. No, to me it's to me
it's all about supply side deflation,
regenerative communities, people living
in those communities completely.
>> You don't even bring money into it.
>> Yeah. Completely extinguishing the
United States debt and the global debt
through regenerative communities and
supply side deflation.
>> You pull it out by the root.
>> Yeah. Then then the the whole notion of
a monetary system given if everything is
um like accessing a music file there's
no monetary system a monetary system
like an alien advanced alien
civilization has everything accessible
to itself like a music file.
>> Okay. Yeah.
>> Yes.
You don't even pander.
>> Well, yeah. So, at at that point, you
don't care if you know, you you
literally don't care if Bo wants this
and Raj wants that. You You just don't
care at all cuz everybody has access to
Bohemian everything. Yeah.
>> Yes.
But that level of abundance and carving
out all of the prior systemic delusions
is a [ __ ] [ __ ] And it has sent me
down a lot of very
um
there's a lot that has to be scrapped
out of oneself to see that. It's really
[ __ ] up.
like the I mean the main thing that's
like the easiest one for people to
understand is that like
people people got addicted in the last
you know 50 years of um a tremendous
amount of their quote net worth being
associated or tied to their real estate
um and in this sense it's literally
their house because of the debt based
and inflationary based monetary system
they watch the price of a house that
they bought for $20,000 50 years ago
somehow magically turned to $450,000
50 years later. And then now
everybody is going to have to witness
the increase of the housing supply
through AI and robotics and through the
proliferation and investment into the
proliferation of an abundance of housing
to such unprecedented extents that the
price of their $450,000 house will
literally plummet.
Mhm.
>> So, they're going to have to give up the
imaginary notion that their house is
worth some x or y amount of fake money.
Um because they want their children and
their children's children to have access
to their own houses to raise their own
families and to um not have to
uh go into a monetary system to work 40
hours a week to um
>> reify that you are your house.
>> Yeah. To spend 57s of your life paying
for a house. Um and then and then still
not owning it because of property taxes.
So um
>> yeah. So, and again, even describing to
people that, you know, a school teacher
and a firefighter and a police officer
and a city administrator and a city
works employee and your grandparents who
are 65 years old who are on social
security and Medicare
that you see what I'm talking about
regarding that's all property taxes,
that's state taxes, that's federal
taxes. All of that money begins to
deflate. Yeah.
>> So, you don't need a $5.5 trillion tax
base. You don't need a $7.5 trillion
budget. You don't need a $2 trillion
deficit year after year. That's what I'm
saying. You curb that back through all
of those people we just listed living in
regenerative communities in in the
supply side deflation of housing. So
when the supply side deflation of
housing is so abundant and those same
houses have access to geothermal or
hydraological energy whatever the source
of energy wind solar whatever that um
they don't have they can go the person
can still go be a teacher or a janitor
or a city administrator or a firefighter
or your grandparents can still live
without necessarily needing for the
property tax people within the local
town to be paying $12,000 per pupil. per
year for the child to go to school
because your $12,000 that you're paying
per year is just literally going to like
80% of it is going to the salaries of
the school district employees. And what
do the school district employees do with
the money? They pay for their mortgages.
Yeah.
>> Do you see what Yeah, that's there.
>> So,
>> and in the future, schools are not going
to be like this.
>> Yeah.
>> Neither are jobs. Yeah.
>> It's uh everybody will be able to do
everything everyone else does can do.
>> Yeah.
>> You serve in your highest capacity
wherever you are
>> naturally.
>> Okay. So
>> So that's the that's where what you
asked the the 2022 version of me that
built what what Andy and Jonathan and
the rest of the Home Dow organism was
putting together. the version of me that
supported that and helped put that
together is very [ __ ] grateful for
the brilliances that that instilled in
me and whatnot. But I don't see that as
the I don't I don't see to tokens won't
tokens won't be a part of the not not in
my right
>> way of seeing it. There's not going to
be
>> well it's like a cell. It's just like
life inside a cell.
>> How can
the orchestration of all of these these
functions they don't they don't exchange
money.
>> Yes. Yes. Yes.
>> They are called upon resonance.
>> Yes. Yes.
>> So okay then then I get then I'm in the
middle of the ocean right now. I know
that true
>> because again like what I just described
was I just described a I described the
dismantling of the taxation debt and
monetary system into a regenerative
utopia system where everything is like a
owning a copy of a music track. That's
what I just described. That's why that's
the how do you get to the cell? That's
how you get to the cell.
>> Not even owning
>> doesn't matter. The word doesn't matter.
Just the feeling of it is what matters.
Yeah.
>> Okay.
The feeling of the clarity of that being
the trunk inside of you that you will
never shake from because it makes the
most amount of sense for the bodhicattva
oath of the maximum amount of Yes. of
alleviation of suffering for the maximum
amount of beings in the quickest amount
of time possible for the perpetual
utopia. Yeah.
Yes. And
>> that's what I started to describe there
and what will show up on that board in
those classes that I'm putting together
right now because each one of those Each
one of those classes is a huge packet of
information because you know the first
the moment that you start talking to
anybody about you know oh you know
smallcale nuclear fusion you know has
the potential to be able to you know
provide us all with electricity for free
forever or whatever that it's a it's
like an LLM conversation right and so
what I'm saying is everybody's you know
everyone has these conditioned response
like when you start saying oh like you
know we don't need to you know uh
pay
you know county administrators or
Congress people like you don't what do
you mean a representative democracy
after 250 years that has went from
representing like one person represents
10,000 people to one person represents
300,000 people or whatever you know
there's no way that that works and it's
the very thing that makes corruption
available and present so you have a
direct the the local the localities
those little micro communities, each one
of them has its own form of a direct
democracy where only those, you know, 10
families or 20 families or 30 families
or whatever. If if you choose to live in
a light city, the consensus model will
be something else.
>> You know, if LA alchemizes itself into a
light city,
it will have some sort of other
consensus model. They'll probably have a
liquid direct democracy consensus model.
is probably what we'll ask.
>> Explain the liquid part. The liquid part
of the direct democracy is that if I
live in LA and and there's like an AI
report that is published that says that
hey the LA um light city ecosystem wants
to publish a code update which is that
you know on the Santa Monica boardwalk
we are looking at establishing some sort
of a massive mango grove or something
like that right
>> and with some beautiful childlike parks
or whatever right
>> and then there's opt option A which is
don't do it. Option B which is do it.
Option C which is more time. We want to
look at these other options of things we
can do with an option B. There's B1, B2,
B3, B4 with the designs of how it would
look, right?
>> Yeah.
>> And let's say that I'm [ __ ] swamped
on a bunch of other things, right, that
I don't have time to look at this. But
let's say that you [ __ ] love this and
you're all about it, right? and you've
done all your research and I [ __ ]
love and trust the [ __ ] out of you.
Yeah. Right.
>> A liquid direct democracy means I can
give my vote to you to vote with two
votes on that issue and then you can
have
>> four or five of your other friends who
are too busy doing their things to give
you their votes because anyway you don't
want you don't want it to turn into the
thing where now you know Rockwell WY is
up on a billboard because you know she's
got the best thoughts about this thing
and give her your vote. you know, you
don't want to turn into that again. But
so anyway, there's issues with de democ
there's issues with there's yeah,
there's it's it's fundamentally it's the
consensus mechanism that is one of the
hardest things within democracy to get
right. But the whole notion of a
moneybased representative democracy that
anyway, we don't need to keep getting
into the weeds of
>> No, it's not the weeds. is very
important
and it's it seems like maybe there's
that's an ordering like that's an
evolution of something even more
>> sure.
>> Yeah. I I don't
>> I mean I it makes perfect sense how you
do it uh
>> without it unleashing
deterioration.
>> Okay. There's a lot of other things that
are to consider. Okay. There's 330
million people in the US. The population
of the US will eventually start
declining. Japan is currently looking
and going through the same problem.
Europe has many countries going through
the same problem. Africa is the only
continent right now that has a
replacement fertility rate that is Yes.
It even it even decreased from like six
to
>> Well, India.
>> Yeah, I said continent. Sorry.
>> Yeah. But yes,
>> parts of Southeast Asia have the same um
going um for them too. But anyway, what
what I'm what I'm getting at is that you
you you know, there's there's like a
hundred million there's a little under a
100red million housing single family
housing units in the United States and
then there's something like 30 million
or something condos or 40 million I
don't remember what the exact number
there is or condo apartment units in the
United States. Um,
and you know there's 330 million people.
So what what I'm what I'm what I'm
getting at is that is that
um even with a tremendous amount of
increase in the supply rate supply side
deflation of housing and there's a
fuckload more single family housing and
all this stuff there's not even really a
guarantee that people are going to want
to live in the light cities of New York
or LA or Miami or Chicago or Seattle.
Some of them might just live in rural
Alabama or you know rural Texas or rural
New Mexico or rural
>> I think those are the ones that have
seated bird like those are the reser no
there there's it's not going to get
seated in New York LA Miami it's not
going to get seated there first those
are those systems are economically
grooved in an insanely difficult to un
uh rattle rattle direction but they will
they'll have aspects that'll will come
online. But um
so so why I why why I why why I bring
that up is that um even having an
increase a drastic supply side deflation
drastic increase in the housing supply
and allowing single families to have
these hyper micro local. So you see the
the the issues about a liquid de
democratic consensus mechanism in LA
kind of falls apart a little bit because
you start really more and more people to
some extent get gravitated towards these
10 20 30 40 50 potentially um family
communities.
>> Um it's possible that it goes that way.
I I think the grooving of it is going to
end up going whoa
that was insane.
Okay.
Okay. Okay. That was an insane like
shake. Okay. Um
>> I felt
>> like the whole like the whole thing got
rocked for a second. It was really
interesting. Like the space timelines
themselves got adjusted. It was really
interesting. Um,
so what why why I'm saying that is
there's still no guarantee that people
living there would even even if you're
living in a 10 20 30 40 50 hyper micro
local the thing is there's no guarantee
that you
will be
going above the replacement fertility
rate. That's what I was trying to get
to. Yeah. So meaning meaning
there we might get such radical
abundance where everything is accessible
like a music file and there's not even h
there's not even humans having six
babies anymore as a family.
>> Yeah,
>> that's what I'm saying. Humans might
only have zero, one, or two babies.
>> Yeah, max.
>> Maybe max. We don't know if they're
gonna still want three, four, five, six
babies. Well, no, I don't.
>> So, so meaning the population might
>> over that's what I'm trying to get to.
The population might we might have such
radical supply in housing and such
radical supply in all of those
categories that we described. And then
we might have a significant population
over time. By the time 2150 rolls
around, we might have, you know, 200
robots or sensors, you know, to every
single human.
I don't know.
>> Yeah.
>> If if if if if if
the world has
um found and I've been looking at how to
create nuclear propulsion.
There's chemical propulsion, there's
nuclear propulsion, and then there's the
exploration of a gravitational
propulsion.
If you get to a nuclear propulsion, you
can potentially
take humans and robots and start
populating the rest of the solar system
at least if you can get to Yeah. the
Yeah.
>> There there and then there. Yeah. So
that way that's that's the way that you
can go from an 8 billion human to a you
know a 50 billion human you know
potentially future if you have humans
living in
moon Mars you know and and beyond yeah
yeah
anyway that's a long
tale next hundred years
But chemical propulsion is fundamentally
out of whack because 90% of the mass of
the rocket goes to fuel. It's completely
out of whack.
>> It's forced.
>> Yeah.
>> What's not forced?
So if you can if you can take at minimum
what's happening in the tokamach style
nuclear fusion reactor and if you can at
least on a small scale replicate that
and then use the propulsive force of
that replication of what was happening
there on a small scale in a rocket. You
could go potentially downwards to five
or 10% of the total rocket weight is on
the nuclear propulsion system. Meaning
90% of what's in the rocket is goods
humans.
>> That's what I'm saying. Right now only
10% of what's in the
>> Yeah.
So these these are the conversations
that we need to have with with Elon and
SpaceX as well and with China and Japan
and the other European Union, the other
world powers, Russia, because we all
need to work together on that phase as
well, the nuclear propulsive phase of
space technologies.
>> What about gravitational?
>> Yeah, that's later. Okay,
>> that's later because it's it's
>> it's pure
Yeah, you're we're we're we're not even
sure if we can if we can
if we can replicate, you know,
gravitational propulsion means getting
to Alpha Centuri in a footstep.
>> Yeah.
>> That's in a footstep.
>> Okay.
>> Yes.
>> Okay.
Anyway, nuclear propulsion means if you
got to the speed of light, if you got to
the speed of light, you could get there
in four and a half years, but it would
still take a lot of work to figure out
how to slow down.
>> Yeah, there's a lot of [ __ ] that's going
on. It's in space understanding. We
don't yet really understand.
>> Yeah, we can't go.
Yeah,
but good to still have all of that
cooking in the pot because it's that's
all the stuff cooking in the pot. You
know, if you think about Raj and Love
and Bo and Maxwell for a second, you
know, what is the likelihood that any of
them have more than two babies,
>> if any? Yeah,
>> that's what I'm saying. Yeah.
So, but regardless, they need to grow up
where the ability for them to have
anything is like having a music file.
>> Yes. That's
>> your There's no latency from your
imagination.
>> Yes.
>> Which means that they just functionally
live in a digital world.
where
we we break apart the
fancy things and just make them digital.
So if you want to have a fancy purse,
rather than taking up all the time and
space and energy of manifesting that
into the physical space,
>> yeah,
>> you just get your fancy purse in a
in your digital world, in your digital
realm rather than in your
manifestation realm.
>> Yeah. And it won't even be for the same
reasons,
>> you know.
>> Exactly. And it's so much better because
everyone can see it if you have it in
the digital realm. If you just have it
in your physical realm, it's like,
>> yeah,
>> just the very few people that you're
around are going to be like, "Oh god,
>> why did you do that?"
Let let me uh let let me uh let me let
me let me let me fork real quick. So you
know the physical digital fork would be
something like you know um so in
physicality
you can have anything like a music like
you have a music file. Mhm.
>> The same way that a music file exists
where anybody can have it at once and it
doesn't preclude anybody else from
having it is the same thing that's true
when you have a super intelligence that
is, you know, able to make anything that
has a zero latency loop with your desire
like you said
and then you can you can have that that
purse. But the fact that you can have
that purse, it's like a music file. All
eight billion people can have that
purse.
>> Yeah.
>> So that's what I'm Yeah. So So there's
that's sort of the physical side of it.
Then the then and only really what like
Andy said, only really the 30 or 50 or
whatever people living near you would
see that. Now on the digital side of it,
if if the if the 50 people that live in
these hyper communities in, you know,
across the world, these people who live
in these communities, if they want to do
this recursive immersive simulation
technology experience thing that we've
been talking about where they go and
they play choices and it's like an
esport and a lot of other people watch
them and consciousness transformations
happen and then you can go and learn
like Andy and I talked about how to be a
city engineer, how to be a plumber,
whatever you can learn all these other
things and those things can be esports
too and all this [ __ ] If you want to do
that then you if you want to get your
you know like it's like it's then it
turns more into like Mark Zuckerberg's
you know metaverse thing that's an
advanced version of it. So you'll have
your, you know, your digital thing that,
you know, maybe you'll have your little
purse hanging on your little, you know,
your little digital thing that, you
know, that people see. And then it's
like, you know, who the [ __ ] cares about
that, too? It doesn't matter either.
>> Yeah.
>> It's just a
>> expression of art before refinement
maybe.
Who knows? But the point is that it's
>> the point is is that everything
everything has to become like music
files.
>> Yes.
>> That's when I'm like that's why we wrote
that thing that we wrote. You know
>> what do how did we say it again?
>> Don't proliferate.
>> Stop drowning out the meta idea with
proliferation.
>> Yeah.
Everything has to become like a music
file.
Don't buy a jet ski. Just play the VR
game jet ski.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Or if you want down by the
jet ski,
>> you know. Okay. First of all, we just
did it again. But but if you want it in
physicality, anybody can. A jet ski is
like having a copy of
>> Bohemian Raps City. That's
Yeah.
Having a jet ski is like having a copy
of Bohemian Raps City,
>> right?
>> Okay, there you go.
>> Literally, if you really want it, it
will come right to your door.
>> It will be.
>> And it won't cost you anything. Yeah.
>> It's your imagination.
>> Yeah. Freedom.
>> If you really want it. Yeah.
>> Yeah. That's the
>> like I don't live by a lake right now.
There's no reason why I would want a jet
ski.
>> But if you wanted it,
>> if I live by a lake, then
>> then you will naturally
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> Yeah. And and and even then, you know,
whatever.
>> Yeah. Whatever.
>> Yeah. And it has that uh the adverse
effect of it's not going to Yeah. You
don't exactly Yeah. Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> You would you would really be shocked by
how quickly
the fact that anybody can have access to
anything like a music file. You'd be
shocked by how quickly everybody would
revert back to their own normal
existence.
>> Of course.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. Of course.
>> It would just literally be now I have
seven days a week of freedom to hang out
with my family and my friends and do
whatever I want.
>> Yeah.
>> And be loved.
>> Yeah. I think it's a
Yeah, I think it's I think
>> so. Is that what Wait, what's the right
analogy for it? You know, when someone
um becomes addicted to something and
then they realize how empty it is.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. That's what
>> that's the thing that happens with
money.
>> Well, the point is if Okay. Right now,
you are in God mode where you can
literally listen to any music file for
free right now.
>> Yeah.
>> Okay. Just go to YouTube and look it up.
Right. Okay. So, what I'm saying is now
imagine you're in God mode where you can
have anything you want off Amazon for
free right now.
>> Would you actually go and buy anything?
>> No.
>> Yeah. So, but that's where I'm that's
what I'm getting at is once you see
through the illusion of the addiction
being
>> Yeah. It it eliminates Yeah. Of course.
Of course.
>> That's inherent with that. I can I can
sense Andy's over there going like not
beyond
click click click click click click
click click click click
>> I mean it's natural when Limewire came
out and I could do that I started
downloading like
>> how many songs did you download
>> every single one. Yeah.
>> Well, that's because everybody No,
literally I I know what he's talking
about because I remember that too. But
that was also because to some extent you
were still occupying a scarcity
vibration.
>> Yeah.
>> Now we live in an abundance vibration
where I know I'm never going to have a
permanent library of free music ever
leave at my access.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. Yeah,
>> I think this this story is so good,
right? Because I mean people used to
build CD racks at their home and it was
like this amazing thing to be able to
have access to all of this incredible
music at any moment. All they had to do
was just go over to their CD rack and
just pull the band.
But it's also a product of how how on
fire their will was for that particular
thing.
>> Yeah. It was like
>> even at that moment that it was the most
amazing distillation
>> that ever existed.
>> Yeah.
>> And then you get something like Limewire
that happens and that distillation goes
from being like, oh, you don't even have
to buy a rack. You don't even have to
buy the $13 CD. You can just like
>> play it.
>> Yeah.
>> Hear it.
>> Yeah. And there's no gatekeeping on
what's good.
>> Exact. Like it's amazing. That's the
same thing that's going to happen to all
of these things. It all just gets
digitized.
>> Yes.
But it it is so reminiscent of the thing
that you appreciated about the thing
without
the having to travel to the lake,
without having to fuel up, without
having to clean the spiderw webs,
without having to risk, you know,
drowning.
Yeah.
you know, without having to pay $200,
without having to deal with a
>> 17-year-old kid give you a safety
briefing.
>> Yeah.
>> You know, like you can just give it a
rip on the
on the jet ski for
>> Yeah.
>> the 17 most exhilarating minutes and
then
>> Yeah.
>> move on.
>> That is gravitational. Well, well, the
the extent to which
um fully immersive
matrix- like sensorial hallucinations
and experiences will be. We I don't
know. I really don't know. We'll have to
see.
>> We'll see.
>> I think this is the perfect mechanism
for for understanding that.
And this this gets into the origami
folds conversation
because this teaches us how to tell the
stories
of those folds
and then be able to
create the other scenarios
and make them go because then you just
start asking what are the things that
can't be digitized
Like
you can digitize the experience of the
jet ski, but you you still can't
digitize
the impact of the strawberry on your
health and your body.
>> Yeah.
>> And the water.
>> You can't digitize desire.
So this is where the basic needs become.
so
much more valuable.
Is there the the few things that you
can't digitize?
I would say take take um
take take everything and create
create a create a very small distinction
that's not even really a distinction but
just to be make it simple to understand
make a distinction and
um
everything becoming like a music file
in physicality is one thing.
>> That's the fundamental trunk
of abundance and letting everyone be
themselves and all that stuff.
Then digitally whatever
whatever technology, however it
progresses, however super intelligence
progresses and however humans plug into
that and make and do whatever with that
is another thing. And just keep those
two things as the same thing. Yeah. But
just keep them on slightly
>> separate layers.
>> Slightly separate se separate layers.
Okay. Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Okay.
That way the physical everything
becoming like music
>> is its own layer.
>> Yes.
>> And then whatever wants to happen
digitally, simulatively,
super intelligently, recursively,
immersively, all that stuff.
>> Yeah.
>> That it's his it own layer too.
>> Okay.
>> Yeah.
>> That's too quickly.
>> That's how I would say it. Okay.
>> That feels that feels
And it's good that
those layers Yeah. our projects go Yeah.
Yeah. On
