Lining up interviewees for redesign everything, focusing first on entrepreneurs who are orienting capital away from profit maxxing ventures to ventures which build wealth or save money for communities. If you know someone redesigning their corner of the world, please tag them!

I find bitcoin ironic, it was necessary to force digitization of pre-existing monetary systems, but itโ€™s just an asset that digitally fakes scarcity and has no utility beyond that. Near term Iโ€™m bullish on web3 and DeFi. But long-term, I donโ€™t see bitcoin keeping up with the rest of the ecosystem.

Just make it fuckin free, Mark. Youโ€™re not a real fan of entrepreneurship if you want physical and mental safety tied to working for someone else! Come on, man. Learn a new trick once in a while.

Ok but rly we need a mechanism to raise billions of dollars through public means, not limited to accredited investors.

We need to be all in on building alternatives to their tools and ecosystems. The sooner we start the better off weโ€™ll all be.

No one finds it odd that Meta and OpenAI decided to release feedgens right as the government shut down and the President ordered a state to invade another state? Like. Theyre actively taking more control of our attention and our entire reality.

Whoโ€™s the least bad billionaire who could be investing in space to make sure itโ€™s accessible to all not just the other billionaires? I have an introduction for them.

Most software should be free
Most data should be private
Most technologies should be open

Redesign Everything This is a show tackling the daunting task of how to redesign everything in an age where knowledge is infinite, but our time is not.

We all know things are bad, but what can we do about it? Introducing a new show from Squarish that examines the world through the lens of system design. In this show I aim not to talk about the problems but to study, design, and share solutions. Available wherever you listen to podcasts.

Whenever Trump is gone, JD wonโ€™t become the President. Heโ€™ll become the CEO.

And yet no one seems ready to do what will be necessary to stop it.

These guys are the final boss of human rights and climate justice, and they are *winning* the battle for control of humanity by a landslide. Theyโ€™re developing AI for domination over discovery, and theyโ€™ll use as much force as necessary to overpower us.

Third and finally to talk about this shit makes you sound like a conspiracist until it happens.

Also, they donโ€™t have a name and their alliances are obscured, so Iโ€™ve decided to call them the Greta Gang, since they seem so obsessed with her.

I always figured Trump wouldnโ€™t last long bc the real goal was to install JD for Thiel & his billionaire buddies. But itโ€™s hard to talk about them critically. For one thing they invest a ton of money that wets the palate of every major tech fanboy or girl.

Iโ€™ve said it before but reading all the medieval history books Iโ€™ve been reading lately has been so comforting. Makes you realize that there have always been mad and incompetent kings and they almost always die in ignominy and everyone piles shit on them for centuries after theyโ€™re gone.

Is he trying to be absurd? Like how do you get there.

So why not do it with our work? Working in the wellbeing economy is a mindset at first. Then it clicks. Youโ€™re building resilience and resistance to the systems that keep us from enjoying abundance.

That kind of thinking is feeble and antiquated. Weโ€™re in the knowledge age. We can redesign anything to be better - but we have to find agreement on what better is. Since our government is incapable of creating anything but division and disfunction, we have to do it on our own.

19.06.2025 16:29 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

We have to change the way we engage with resources. Our relationship to our environment, or everything that isnโ€™t human, gives back more than we put in. But like a toxic relationship that cycle cannot last forever. Itโ€™s time to breakup with the idea that growth is good and nothing else can match it
