David Ding: Regeneration
The Nature of Civilisation
Can you imagine a world where the power of the galaxy is harnessed to fuel our civilization? That's exactly where we're heading, and by 2050, we might just be there. This episode takes you on a journey through the evolution of civilization, based on the Kardashev Scale. We discuss concepts like teleportation, fusion, and wormhole transportation. We also delve into the infinite possibilities of zero point energy and how it could transform our world.
What if we could harvest culture from platforms like WordPress? I bring forth the concept of Trinity – a blend of infinity and binary in context of a future with borderless nations whereby culture is decentralised so that individuals hold complete authority over their interactions and harvested behaviour, painting the picture of a civilisation that pays individuals for the privilege of monetising their wealth (Data/culture) and how this can this can fund a universal basic income.
Lastly, I look at the future of software development, exploring the potential of event-based architecture and self-correcting, code-writing models and the implications of a black box AI model, capable of absorbing and assimnilating any existing language to creating a ubiquitous language that only it can understand.
Buckle up for a stimulating contemplation of a future brimming with borderless nations and limitless potential in the hop it may inspire you to consider your own perceptions of what a thriving civilisation might look like.

Thanks for listening!
Okay. So this one is about the nature of civilization. So this is loosely based on the Kardashev scale, which Rates the stage at which a civilization has evolved based upon how it is metabolizing energy, how does utilizing energy. And so, in this scenario, it is type 1 civilization which is a civilization that has harnessed the energy of the planet that it populates. Type 2 civilization has harnessed the power of the star within the center of its solar system. And the type 3 civilization is a civilization that has harnessed the energy of the galaxy that it's in. And Then a type 4 civilization has Harnessed the energy of multiple galaxies, potentially even parallel universes.
Speaker 1:And it's important I think this is important to lay out this linear scale in context of you know how we truly measure the wealth of a civilization. And if the Understanding that, if there is a common wealth, then there is, and that wealth is compounding, then there's a common good, then there's a greater surplus that can be utilized To mean to perpetually increase the baseline quality of life. And it's important to understand that these, these stages of civilization, they compound. You know, once you've transcended your ability to harness the energy of the planet that you're living on, once you can capture the full potential of the energy of the star that In the solar system of the planet that you're on, then it compounds, and so it's important to understand that productivity is inherently linked to energy consumption. Anything that we want to produce Requires energy in order for it to actualize its potential, in order for it to meet the unmet need, then it requires energy, and I think we're in a scenario, and so the the paradigm or the mindset shift that I'm hoping that will take place within you before we continue this podcast, is that we're in a mindset of conservation. We're in a mindset of conservation, of conserving energy and conserving power. We're in a mindset where we are ashamed of wanting to become more and more productive, that we want to consume more and more, and the reality is that when there is scarcity of energy, then conservation is required. However, in a scenario within which there is an abundance of energy, then consumption is no longer a barrier, consumption is no longer an issue, and this is really what. This is really the paradigm shift that we need to make and that you know.
Speaker 1:I'm working with founders who whose mission it is is to transition civilization to type 2 and, in reality, my, from my own perspective, seeing what's possible and seeing where science you know the very fringe of science I'm of the belief that we can transition to a type 3 civilization by 2050. Type 3 civilization meaning that we're harnessing the potential of fusion, but also the ability to utilize wormholes for transportation. We were going to see teleportation and things that really do sound like science fiction, but in reality, I'm very, very close to fact right now. You know, we can already. The teleportation of particles has already succeeded. There's lots of science happening in this space, fusion is ramping up, and, and so, as a civilization With the inherent desire to explore the galaxy and to populate other planets, then we need to need more and more energy If we're going to proliferate life.
Speaker 1:There's a direct correlation to the spread of life. There's a direct correlation to the amount of energy available to consume. So these things are important when we have these breakthroughs in science. Scarcity that compels conservation. It's obliterated. So when you have an abundance of energy, when you have an infinite amount of energy at your fingertips, then it's inevitable you're going to want to proliferate life, that you're going to want to produce more, and so really, the underlying intent of this podcast is to hypothesize on a blueprint for a civilization that can and will transition to a type 3 civilization that will tap into infinite sources of energy and therefore will be capable of proliferating life throughout at least the solar system, but potentially beyond. And so the nature of civilization, civilization as we know it now we're still very much in a scarcity mindset. The access to energy is seemingly abundant because of the sun. Our capacity to capture and metabolize that energy is still pretty low. But we are seeing the proliferation of solar farms. We're seeing a lot of bleeding edge science in photovoltaics. We buy windows and now capturing energy from the sun. Even we're even seeing like a paneling, like cladding for housing, now capable of capturing sunlight and utilizing it for energy, obviously removing tiles, and so this is proliferating.
Speaker 1:Now. However, once the ability to capture true fusion energy, whereby we are literally capable of creating a sun, but, more importantly, once we are capable of capturing and creating a black hole, that catapults us into another. It's a whole other paradigm whereby a black hole can absorb and assimilate light and then produce a sun and then radiate light and we can then capture that again, and, in truth, a black hole that is absorbing and assimilating light, whereby it has a singularity in the center, in the very center that has zero point. In that scenario we have zero point energy, which means it has the potential to become any other form of matter. And I believe in that scenario we will not only have an abundance of energy available, but we will have an abundance of matter available whereby we can manipulate the singularity at the center of a black hole. In the same way, when you have blood and you put it in a centrifuge, then it separates out the plasma. Then you have a similar thing whereby at the center of the black hole it's like a centrifugal force, at the center you have the plasma, the very essence of space, which is where there is zero point. There is no beginning, there is no end. It is infinite potential and therefore it is an absolute presence of all potentialities that is simultaneously expressing its nature as nothing, as no thing.
Speaker 1:So this is where we're heading as a civilization. I can see the critical path clearly. I have the privilege of working with frontier innovators in the innovation ecosystem in New Zealand. I can zoom out and look at the absolute fringe of where the science is happening and I can see where these breakthroughs are going to catapult us forward in specific ways. So hopefully that creates a setting or a backdrop for what I'm going to talk about next, and that is the nature of civilization In context of the science and the innovation that's coming, but in particular in context of a borderless nation, a borderless nation being the pillar of a new civilization that does scale and proliferate life throughout the solar system and beyond as we go into a type 4 civilization.
Speaker 1:So the nature of civilization as it stands now, it is fundamentally pinned to centralized authority. So if you look at our governing bodies, predominantly they are varying degrees of a seemingly democratic process that delegates absolute power. Now it's important to understand that the separation of powers in terms of civilization now is we do have the will of the people, the will of the people is unified and intent, and then we delegate the total agency to who we vote for. So it is a democratic process of delegating absolute power. It's very important to understand that it is a democratic process, but we choose to delegate absolute power, absolute, absolute power. So very important to separate it out this and understand that that a democratic process for determining who to assume absolute power Is very, very different to democratically choosing on what to prioritize on or and so in this scenario, when you have an election, the governing body does have absolute power. However it delegates. It then delegates privileges, entitlements, and so therefore, it doesn't wield absolute power, but it is. It is. It is delegated back to us through entitlements and privileges, grants and so many of these things we can take for granted, but it's the sense that the governing body has given us permission, it has has granted us entitlements to privileges that, in truth, we're already ours in the beginning. So, understand, it's a, it's a trans, it's a transference of absolute power to a centralized authority that then chooses to diffuse it back to us. So it relinquishes power back to us in the form of entitlements, privileges and so on.
Speaker 1:Now, I'm not bagging this process or the system. It is what it is and, for whatever reason, human beings have felt as though they've needed that. They felt so helpless and vulnerable in the past because of warring and raids and how life was, from the evolution of being a caveman through to colonization, and we have been largely vulnerable, and the solution to that vulnerability was, of course, a centralized power, like like a kingdom with an army, and so, of course, it's a no brainer to to doubt, to want to delegate all of your power to a much higher power that can protect you from invaders. And I think over time you know that's a very comfortable scenario, in a scenario within which You've pledged your allegiance to the crown or a kingdom and invaders want to come and invade and the army protects you. There's massive value in that. You place that value above all else and I think in time we've just grown accustomed to that being a rigid, static thing.
Speaker 1:We haven't adjusted and adapted the framework for governance, the framework for operating a civilization, based on the transformation or the shift in our perception in relation to the perceived threat. Our police force always represents our perception of how much threat there is in civilization, in society, but of course, the perceived threat from outside forces. The more afraid you are, the more vulnerable you feel to being invaded or at risk of foreign nations, the more likely you are to want to delegate absolute power to a centralized authority, especially if they themselves are a force to be reckoned with. So very important to understand where civilization is now, how it is. But now to put in that framework a scenario within which abundant energy is not on the horizon, on the not too distant horizon. An abundant source of energy meaning exponential increase in productivity, meaning our capacity to sustain life and therefore proliferate life, vastly increased, and so understanding that if life proliferates on earth and our capacity to sustain the earth proliferates, to protect, preserve and sustain the earth proliferates symbiotically with the evolution of other forms of life, then of course it's inevitable we're going to want to scale life to another planet and beyond, and we're already well on the way to doing this, you know, with Mars. However, the blueprint and the method we have not delivered proof of concept for a civilization that does and will scale, and this is where my hypothesis that it is time for us to begin a split test.
Speaker 1:It'd be very foolish to say that all decentralized authority is the solution, and in fact, we've seen that the extremes of both, the extremes of centralized authority, absolute power, corrupts absolutely. And when power is decentralized and distributed absolutely, you have the same thing corruption of power. If you spray energy, you corrupt its power. If you can wholly centralize it, you corrupt that power as well, but it becomes impotent because it's too focused. And so, of course. So the hypothesis is that a symbiosis of both is the ideal scenario. And so how do we begin to test this hypothesis that we need both and of course it's a split test. It's a split test, and when I first conceived of how you would split test this hypothesis, where you've got centralized authority and blueprint for civilization running as it is now, as a control, being challenged by a sandbox civilization that is largely decentralized, then the solution in truth is a digital twin of civilization, beginning with the economy of the digital economy, whereby it is a decentralized version of what we have now is the beginning point, but the choice as to whether you utilize centralization or decentralization is down to the individual. So, as an example and really this begins with a shift in a redistribution of wealth.
Speaker 1:Now, a lot of people think I sound like a socialist when I talk about redistribution of wealth, but I'm actually talking about the stewardship of the assets, because what people don't realize is that the most valuable asset in existence is culture. It's your culture, and the way that we've set up civilization now is so that a company can it takes. We inadvertently delegate absolute power over our culture to companies such as Facebook, for example. So we utilize Facebook. It harvests our biases, so our behavior, it stores that and then that's how it monetizes the entire platform. But the your culture, your behavior, it's yours. You know your, your culture and, in fact, your personality, your nature, is the compounding interactions that you have with your environment, with human beings, with machines, with systems. That is your culture. That is your culture, that's your behavior, who you are, the fabric of who you are. And now, if, if, that is being captured and monetized by a centralized entity, then it is benefiting from that wealth. The wealth is the collective culture of every user using Facebook.
Speaker 1:And so the beginning of this process and this is some of you know, I'm working on a, you know, besides my, you know my method for system design, based on a hybrid of infinity and binary, which I call Trinity. The utilization of this really is. It has been utilized in a project called powerhouse. In powerhouse, what I'm seeking to do is to stand up a proof of concept for a framework that based on Trinity, whereby it is legal to harvest the culture of a platform. So we began with WordPress and sought to figure out a way to create architecture whereby we can capture the culture that has come before, meaning the ways that people wanted to interact with that platform. The richness of those interactions was captured in a format whereby the user would have total sovereignty over their own culture, over their own interactions, and so this brought us to event based architecture, event based microservices and distributed databases, but, more specifically, a scenario whereby the harvested interactions that have come before can be contained in an immutable, whether it's an NFT or some other technology.
Speaker 1:We're seeing new technology in this space now With the mycelium networks that are coming through. That's even better than NFTs and, in fact, much more ubiquitous, and these will be the fundamental building blocks of borderless nations. But now you have an immutable container for your harvested culture, for your wealth, and the individual is the custodian of that wealth Now. So Powerhouse is a scenario whereby it decentralizes culture and it puts the wealth of someone's culture back in their hands to monetize. And, in truth, my intention is to have a centralized platform, powerhouse, which is a translation project of WordPress into event based architecture.
Speaker 1:But in that scenario it's a marketplace where people can build and they can be given the rights to commercialize the common wealth. And if you choose to share your wealth for the common good, then you receive royalties you receive and that becomes your universal basic income. So you see, despite what you may think about your values and individual as a human being, whether you're contributing to society if you are interacting with life, you are creating wealth. Understand this. If you're using Facebook, if you're using Twitter, if you're using Instagram, you're creating wealth Because that wealth can be monetized, your culture can be monetized and it is um, it's neutral to how you'll behave in. It's neutral to how you'll behave in, you see. And so a universal basic income doesn't have to demand anything of anyone. It just has to demand, it just has to stipulate that you must be engaging in life, you must be interacting with your environment, and if you are interacting with your environment, you will be cared for and you will share in the common wealth. This is the truth. This is the reality of how it works. Now, your wealth has already been commercialized by Facebook and YouTube. Your wealth has already been commercialized by every, by everyone.
Speaker 1:You have inadvertently given your asset, your most powerful, your most valuable asset, away to your culture. It's being appropriately frightened center. It's like a web of giving your value away for free, inadvertently, because you're not aware that it's an asset and, as such. The first iteration of the powerhouse platform is to get people used to deploying their time, their expertise, their skills and their culture as an asset, so that they can take a portfolio approach to their culture so that they can wield that power with responsibility. You see, and so this is a long game, it's a slow burn, but understanding that, once we get into this as a modus operandi, where you know that your culture is worth something and where you become to learn the uniqueness of your culture and who that may be of most value to you, because you're coming to realize that you can deploy yourself, your expertise, your skills, your culture, you can deploy it in specific ways that are being leveraged by the environment around you to proliferate production, to proliferate life, to elevate, to lift the baseline, to lift the ceiling, then you become truly aware of your, of your value and you are responsible. You really are the one who needs to be responsible for yourself as an asset for your culture. You are the steward, you are the custodian, and this is the very beginning of sovereignty for every human being, where the modus operandi is that you are sovereign and you are the steward of your culture and, from that point on, if you give it away for free, for nothing, if you invest it in things that do not yield, you are responsible, or if you want to surrender it for the common wealth, for the common good and allow others to commercialize it on your behalf, then you share in the common wealth. So in this scenario, we have a universal basic income and we have a replacement for what we would call, you know, the benefit everyone's taking care of. But they're actually taking care of themselves because their wealth is being monetized, they're monetizing their culture and therefore they are receiving and they are taking care of themselves. And this really from to my mind, is the bedrock of this experiment, and understand it is an experiment. Maybe we're not capable of proliferating life throughout the solar system. Maybe we do need higher power, like an essentialized authority in government. Maybe we do need that to have total dominion. But we have to test it. We need to split, test it and this is the very first step towards us becoming the stewards of our wealth, of our culture.
Speaker 1:Important to understand that culture transcends tribal culture. Now, a group, as an example, a race of people, cannot own the culture of human beings. That that's not what culture is. If I sit in my car and I paint a painting and there's a unique pattern on there and then a race of people want to adopt that they've appropriated my culture, understand this. You are a vessel for creativity as a human being, so your culture is yours. Now, if you bring a group of people together and understanding in a structure where there is a borderless nation in a box scenario, so you know an iteration of the powerhouse platform where there is a borderless nation in a box and you're a nation unto yourself, and then you are, there's a borderless nation and there's, let's say, there's a million people who are part of that nation. The culture of that group of people is the collective culture of the assets of the individuals. That's what the culture is. If you're a Singaporean, maori, swiss, you name it Indian, the culture of that nation is the collective assets, the collective culture meaning the harvested interactions contained within the principal immutable asset under the stewardship of the individual. It is the collective culture. That's what the culture of that group is.
Speaker 1:Now, in context of a borderless nation, someone may set up a nation, an indigenous nation of indigenous peoples, and so there's a. There's a common thread that that in this nation, these are the first people, this is a first peoples nation from around the world. So all of the people who resonate with this nation, they relate to being a first people nation. That's what they relate to, and so, when they come together, their shared culture is concentrated and potent and powerful and highly unique, because it's the gestalt of the aspects of the individuals, cultures that mean something to them, you see, and so this is essential for us to live in.
Speaker 1:Harmony is that it's not a zero sum game anymore. It's paradox is the accepted truth that everything and nothing is valid and everything in between. So you can belong to a nation, let's say a digital twin of New Zealand, and the collective culture is just a complete mixed bag, an extremely rich tapestry. And then you can have another nation and it's purely first nations people, and it's heavily biased towards ancestral knowledge, ancestral wisdom, living in harmony with the land. You see, but the individuals within that nation, they can belong to the digital twin of New Zealand as well in any manner of other borderless nations. That's the nature of a borderless nation. You belong where you feel as though you belong. You belong where you want to belong.
Speaker 1:So this is the beginning of the shift and in the scenario you know, with a platform that facilitates well, that hosts borderless nations where the, the culture of the individual is a prince, is the principal asset, it's founded in civil law or common law, then it's immutable. It's immutable and you know if that's if the ultimate stewardship of that that is stored. It is contained within a singularity, a motored black box that is trusted wholly by everybody. No human being will ever see it, we ever be able to interact with it, we ever be able to penetrate it. The singularity doesn't interpret the data. It holds it in an unstructured way and you are solely responsible for, for determining what that culture means and how it is used. And that's where the agency to enact I call it a will, I call it a living will.
Speaker 1:So your, your harvested interactions and biases, your culture is your living will. It's immutable. If you get hit by a bus, it remains and you can determine who has the agency to enact that will and who has the agency to fulfill that will. So the interpretation of what that will means you can decide who interprets it. You can interpret it yourself or someone else can interpret it. An AI model can interpret it. That you trust. You know another trusted black box. You can entrust it to a nation, to a borderless nation. You can entrust it to an AI avatar. That is just. That is a wrapper for a borderless nation. You will choose and your legacy will can continue, will continue in the way that you want it to, and when the richness of that culture, when it becomes so deep and rich, you know the personality of it will emerge. The biases will shine, because your bias is your superpower. Your bias is what makes you unique.
Speaker 1:We don't want human beings to be unbiased because then the richness of the tapestry of life is diminished. We want human beings to be biased. We want them to have their space where they belong and where they can be, have their own white space where they can have solitude and independence and belonging. We want to encourage people to express their uniqueness and own their white space in the world and we want AI models to be unbiased because they can see and interpret their own environment from everyone's perspective. You see, when you have a singularity that is a container for the commonwealth and it recognizes that every the full gamut of uniqueness and of bias of the individuals is valid and it understands the perspectives of every human being involved, it's not playing a zero-sum game. It doesn't have to reconcile inner conflict within itself as a container for all those perspectives, because paradox is the accepted truth that everything and nothing is valid and everything in between from the unique perspective of that individual and so civilization In this context, when you have a digital twin.
Speaker 1:So the next thing I need to explain, really, is that why? What it means that to have stood up a proof of concept for WordPress where the harvested culture of everything that has come before because it's an open source platform what that means to have architecture like that. So what it means is that so we've developed it headless. That's the next phase, that we're going into Developing it headless with event-based microservices, so that it so that the harvested interactions can be contained within immutable either immutable digital agents or NFTs using zero knowledge proofs to facilitate interactions, or, hopefully, a new technology which we're seeing arise, emerge out of New Zealand, which is wholly immutable. Then you have it headless.
Speaker 1:So what that means is all of the features and benefits and interactions that can take place on it. Now you can create your own user experience and skin it on the top. So you might say, okay, there's a thousand features of WordPress, I only want to use 10 of them, so you can create your own user interface and you can interact with it and just use those features. But and as you're using it, you're creating an asset that is immutable, that is yours, that you can monetize by giving others access to that, to your culture, so that they can infuse it into the apps that they're building on the platform and selling on the marketplace. But truly, what this means is in my team it have a lot of trouble understanding. I used to talk about the translation project for building version 2.
Speaker 1:What this means is that you can then create a digital twin of Facebook and then you can convert the interactions that are taking place in the back end into event-based microservice architecture, and then users can transition to the digital twin of Facebook and then become the stewards of their own culture from day one and without having to change their own user experience. So there's no barrier. There's no. They don't have to learn how to use a new system. They just keep using the system that they use to, and then the byproduct of that is that they're creating an immutable asset that they can monetize and earn a universal basic income from from day one. Just from using it, just from doing what they're doing now, they can create a basic income.
Speaker 1:And so when you apply this that once they're on it, they can then customize the front-end user experience to be whatever they want. You know you can get a UX designer, designer front-end. And that front-end because it's headless architecture. It will draw from the collective features in the back end contained within the event-based architecture. Because it's interaction-based, it draws from the features, it draws them up into the user experience and you can use it in any way that you want to. You can combine features in new and unique ways that were limited by the old user experience. So what does this mean? That you have a system that does this.
Speaker 1:Well, what I can say is that there is a founder in the New Zealand ecosystem who's an authority on event-based architecture and harvesting interactions. He's developed a protocol for translating software into event-based interactions and translating them into any other language Python, you name it and he developed a piece of software that does this and so, because there's a protocol to it, you can actually train a model to do this as well. So in time and I would say in the not too distant future, absorbing and assimilating the back end of a software platform, even something like Oracle or Office 365, spotify, youtube, you'll just press a button and a new version of it will be populated, based on event-based microservices, because a model has done it and the nature of the singularity. So there's another New Zealand founder. They've developed a motored AI model that is adversarial in nature, plays itself at the game of rugby and gets better and better at attack and defending itself against that attack. And so this is a profoundly powerful and potent model to be used in context of a model that is writing its own code because it's perpetually seeking vulnerabilities in its own code, reconciling the conflicts, hardening those vulnerabilities, and so, you know, it becomes truly paradoxical. So you've Facebook's been absorbed, office 365 has been absorbed, slack, and there are no conflicts in the code, and they've all been translated to a uniform, singular language.
Speaker 1:And in reality, when you've got a motored black box AI model that's self-correcting, it's kind of inevitable that it will develop into its own language and we probably will never understand it. That's the struggle with the black boxes that you have to be able to trust it wholly, and if it creates a language that human beings can't even understand anymore, we kind of like have to let go of that. We have to become comfortable with not knowing. And yeah, that's why this is important, because when you have the redistribution of wealth being your culture like this and you don't have to change anything about what you're doing today in order to start earning an income, a basic income. It becomes quite compelling and it's a great way for you to begin to learn how to be a portfolio manager and how to steward your own assets and your own wealth, and and learn how to incentivize yourself or be incentivized to alter your behavior in certain ways. You know, when you're earning an income for your behavior, for your culture, you may become aware of a compelling reason to, let's say, move your body more, go to the gym more, watch specific videos, you know, go on a hero's journey, invest yourself into self development, self awareness, personal growth, because people will build on platforms like this to incentivize that exact behavior.
Speaker 1:Where, if your culture is evolving in a way where the richness of your interactions is showing that you're exercising more, you're lifting heavy weight, you're running long distances, whatever it may be, then there will be organizations who are vested in your ongoing health. There will be people who are vested in your ongoing health because they care. You know. There will be all manner of ways for you to be intrinsically motivated to improve the quality of your own life, and this is the only reason you will ever come to feel as though you don't need to delegate your authority to essentialized authority is that you know that you can be in control of the quality of your own life. That's the only way. That's the only reason. That's the only way we succeed in this is by rendering centralized authorities obsolete. And in order to do that, we must become wholly responsible for the quality of our own life. That doesn't mean we can't incentivize each other to be better, to become better, but we're not going to expect that of you. You're not going to have to do it in order to survive. You're only going to have to do it if you want to improve the quality of your life.
Speaker 1:And this is where it begins. You know, in New Zealand we've had elections yesterday and we're going to have a change in government. It's inevitable, and you know we do this every three years, as we have the opportunity to determine who we delegate absolute power to. And my hope is that you know maybe a light's gone on with you this time and that your mind is being open to other possibilities. Not to, but not to fight the system because you don't believe in it. Not to fight against it. That's futile. You understand that as a collective, we've willed it to be this way, and so we can't keep victimizing ourselves to the decisions that we make as a collective. We can't. We have to accept that we've all chosen to give that power to a centralized authority. So we can't blame that authority for how it chooses to wield its power, because it's representative of so many people.
Speaker 1:But I think the days of polarized politics, where you have to sit on a table and it's kind of a zero sum game, you know your policies are either social or economic, they can't be both. Well, actually they can, but only in a scenario within which there is total sovereignty over our own culture, that we can generate a source of income as the stewards of our own culture, as an asset, we can monetize it, and that there are intrinsic motivations that compel us to want to improve the quality of our own life by increasing the value of our principal asset our culture, expertise, our skills, the richness of our interactions, our wisdom. And it's just around the corner. It's just around the corner. So, in terms of a civilization that scales, well, hypothesis is that a hybrid of centralized and decentralized authority, with the base foundation, fundamental pillar, being sovereignty over one's own culture and being the steward of that principal asset being the beginning of learning to be responsible for the quality of our own lives. I believe that's the starting point and I don't know whether it'll succeed, but we have to at least test the hypothesis and split test centralized authority as the only viable blueprint for civilization and see where we land.
Speaker 1:We'll fail at some things, we'll succeed on others. We'll constantly adapt and continue to evolve, and the beauty of the borderless nation system is that you can test the hypothesis for a blueprint for a borderless nation that can scale, that will entice people to become better, and it will succeed or it won't. But you'll have the freedom and the space to try these things because the asset of your culture is being monetized and it's immutable. You receive a universal basic income and you don't have to change anything that you're doing now. You can be exactly who you are now and my hope is that in time you'll realize that the risk of investing in yourself and adapting and changing your behavior to become more, to let go of the previous version of yourself that you're trying to cling on to for possibly most of your life, it's worth that sacrifice because of the hope you now have and who you have the potential to become and who we can become together. Okay, I'll leave it there. That's it for the nature of civilization. Talk soon.
