Resource Revolution: Under the Hood (Seriously, How?!) (Part 2)
Ep. 15

Resource Revolution: Under the Hood (Seriously, How?!) (Part 2)

Okay, the dream of no alarm clocks and endless free stuff is great. But how do you actually run a planet when cash is obsolete? On Resource Based Economy Part 2, we’re ditching the fantasy (a little) and diving into the practical, occasionally dry, mechanisms of a Resource-Based Economy. Global surveys, AI allocation, prefab everything, and yes, lending libraries for screwdrivers. Join us as we lift the hood on the RBE and figure out if this thing even has an engine.

Beyond the Dollar
Ep. 14

Beyond the Dollar

Imagine a world where you wake up because you want to, not because some evil clock demands it. We’re diving headfirst into the Resource-Based Economy – a supposedly ‘revolutionary’ vision where money, debt, and the soul-crushing need to work just vanish. Sounds like a fantasy? Maybe. But hey, at least the commute would be better in our shared, automated future. Buckle up, buttercups, this could get weird.

Sick System: US Healthcare vs. The World (And How We Can Fix It)
Ep. 13

Sick System: US Healthcare vs. The World (And How We Can Fix It)

Why does the US spend nearly double what other wealthy nations do on healthcare, only to lag behind in life expectancy and infant mortality? Join Joshua and Will on The Overlap as they investigate the different ways countries structure their healthcare. Is socialized medicine the only answer? What exactly is a single-payer system? We break down the models, confront the uncomfortable truths about US healthcare performance (including billions in administrative costs and CEO pay), and discuss real-world alternatives that could put patients back in control. Ready for an honest look at a broken system and potential fixes? Press play.

The Social Contract's on Fire: Rebuilding Society (Before We All Move to Mars)
Ep. 11

The Social Contract's on Fire: Rebuilding Society (Before We All Move to Mars)

Welcome back to The Overlap, where we dissect the dumpster fire that is modern America with a side of philosophical musings, because why not? This week, brace yourselves for a roller coaster of doom and gloom as we unpack the latest in freedom-city schemes from our favorite billionaire overlords (Thiel and Andreessen, we’re looking at you), the ongoing saga of government shutdowns, and the GOP’s delightful budget proposal that’s basically a chainsaw massacre for social safety nets. We’ll ponder the age-old question: Is it better to colonize Mars or, you know, fix the actual planet we live on? And, we take a stab at a light conversation of human suffering. Plus, we’ll dissect a controversial Jubilee episode with Sam Seder facing off against MAGA enthusiasts, proving that sometimes, even conservatives can be turned off by blatant misogyny. Finally, we end by pondering the mysteries of the orphan crushing machine, a thought experiment that somehow sums up everything wrong with our priorities these days. Prepare for equal parts despair, philosophical pondering, and a healthy dose of snark.
