That is, we should be building systems for universal simulation.

We are. Just in various levels of success and depth.
In a world of near-infinite choice, we don't look for reasons why we SHOULD trust someone...we take the shorter route.We look for reasons why we SHOULDN'T trust someone so that we can rule them out quickly and move on.We start our evaluation with one question: "Is this person legitimate?" And then we actively look for reasons to believe that you're... See more

Each technology not only unlocks a new state of expanded acceleration (that will be hardcoded into our lives as the new basis for our survival), but will also be used as the basis for new technologies to continue that process. The vast majority of people do not experience this technology as ‘liberating’ them. Rather, they experience it as something... See more

Those are the futures they will work to actively create.

And more than anything, it feels particularly, uncomfortably, acutely uncertain.

The biggest thing we can do is give people a sense of a secure present from which to explore potential abundant futures.
Over time, plenitude is a process in which more and more goods and services are provided to more and more people, as technologies advance and costs come down to grant new free ‘indulgences’ every year.

I love this idea
The better we know ourselves, the better we’re able to design systems, technologies, lenses that intentionally empower our lights vs. blindly perpetuate our shadows.”

Damn, this hits deep. I love this so much.
