Alright folks, buckle up. We’ve reached the (temporary) end of our Resource Based Economy deep dive on The Overlap. Did we solve all the world’s problems? Debatable. Did we get an AI to spit out a 50-year, 22-step plan to get us from the current “hell pit” to an RBE utopia? Absolutely.
Join Joshua and Will as they hilariously break down this ambitious roadmap, featuring everything from mass public education (turns out telling people stuff helps?) and building RBE research centers (not a cult, promise!) to decommissioning money, redesigning cities (sorry, Will’s mother-in-law), and implementing “cybernated governance” (don’t be scared… probably).
We tackle the future of automation (RIP accountant jobs), ponder the ethics of turning carbon into gold (spoiler: too expensive), get sidetracked by Stephen Miller’s Goebbels-like qualities, and explain why universal high-speed internet is good for everyone (even the Curmudgeon on the lawn).
This episode is a wrap-up, a look ahead, and maybe a cry for help, all rolled into one. We’re talking faster trains, automated transportation for goods (so they don’t get hurt!), universal basic everything, and the revolutionary idea that maybe, just maybe, we don’t need an “orphan crushing machine.”
Is this plan realistic? Probably not in this exact order. Is it aspirational? Hell yes. Is it worth striving for? We think so. Listen in for the final word on RBE (for now!) and find out if we can achieve cultural maturity before the robots take over… or help us achieve it.
