The Nature of Civilisation

10/14/23 • 55 min

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.

The Nature of a Borderless (Network) Nation

Send me a text

Imagine living in a world where borders are nonexistent and nations operate in a network state. A world where technology not only interprets human will, but enacts it with sophisticated accuracy. This awe-inspiring idea is no longer a figment of imagination but a reality taking shape in our midst. In this episode I dissect the intricate relationship between centralised and distributed authority, exploring the paradox of desiring both intervention and non-interference from government. With the aid of technology, I breathe life into the concept of a borderless nation, examining the empowering potential of a black box with delegated authority.
What if machines could evolve emotions? Yes, you heard it right. I continue to delve into the fascinating world of technology, discussing its implications on civilisation and its role in interpreting our wills and enacting them. Further on I ponder how a trusted black box, holding a nation's constitution, could communicate on behalf of a disabled person. Furthermore, I assess the profound impact of such advancements on humanity's future, considering how the purposeful constraint of possibilities can be harnessed as a tool to perpetuate motion (Perpetual Motion).
However, with great power comes great responsibility - and potential disruptions. I share my perspective on the importance of regulation in this context, casting light on scenarios where technology could unlock dormant wealth and reconcile historical treaty claims. Using examples like the fractionalisation of landlocked commodities, I critically examine the potentially disruptive nature of such advancements, emphasising the need for a balance between regulation and innovation, and the crucial role of collaboration and cooperation for a unified purpose. So, are you ready to step into this thrilling journey into the future of humanity, technology, and nationhood? I hope you join me.

Ever wondered what it's like to have a paid job with a guaranteed income that provides an opportunity to have full autonomy? In this episode I explore the combination of autonomy and consentual intervention and how this can work within an organisation that takes a portfolio approach to appreciating its talent and other assets.
I then explore the world of portfolio management and how a fund of funds that adheres to a principle of principles can enable each fund within the portfolio to ride the stormy waves of market fluctuations specific to its industry.
In this engaging narrative, I bring my personal experiences to the fore, recounting my journey of designing and building autonomous teams using this approach.
Finally I look at how to collaboratively design and agree standards in context of a portfolio approach to running a business unit and how this can catalyse a thriving autonomous culture without having to initiate or contend with radical change.
Gear up for this enlightening discussion that will likely change the way you perceive the nature of autonomy for the better.
