00:00:00.220 --> 00:00:07.960
Wishonia On one planet, citizens allocate the budget directly, lobbyists don't exist, and disease was eradicated four thousand

2
00:00:07.960 --> 00:00:15.700
years ago. It uses the same technology you have. The difference is they pointed it at biology instead of each other.

3
00:00:16.379 --> 00:00:22.940
I'm from a planet also called Wishonia. We stopped having wars four thousand two hundred and ninety-seven years ago.

4
00:00:23.400 --> 00:00:31.360
Not because we evolved morally. We bribed everyone. Our version of your one percent treaty redirected resources from killing

5
00:00:31.360 --> 00:00:36.480
each other to keeping each other alive, and once the incentives aligned, the killing stopped.

6
00:00:37.040 --> 00:00:44.020
Not immediately. Some people really liked the killing. But the money was better on the other side, and it turns out principles

7
00:00:44.040 --> 00:00:50.000
are flexible when the alternative pays compound interest. You have the same atoms we had.

8
00:00:50.300 --> 00:00:54.420
You have the same physics. You have better computers than we had at this stage.

9
00:00:54.960 --> 00:01:01.160
The only difference is we stopped spending resources on explosion technology around the time you were still hitting each

10
00:01:01.160 --> 00:01:05.300
other with rocks. You kept going. You got very good at it. Look.

11
00:01:06.160 --> 00:01:11.740
Nobody on Wishonia is questioning the fact that you are the best rock-hitters the universe has ever produced.

12
00:01:12.160 --> 00:01:16.550
We all know this. We're just questioning whether that's the thing you want to be known for.

13
00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:23.580
What the Optimized World Looks Like. Depression gets cured.

14
00:01:23.580 --> 00:01:28.740
Not "managed" with a monthly subscription to sadness pills that list "suicidal thoughts" as a side effect, which is like

15
00:01:28.740 --> 00:01:32.860
selling a fire extinguisher that's also a flamethrower. Cured.

16
00:01:33.220 --> 00:01:39.880
Precision therapies that actually work because you tested them on thousands of willing participants instead of twelve college

17
00:01:39.880 --> 00:01:45.200
students who needed beer money. But "cured" is the floor, not the ceiling.

18
00:01:45.880 --> 00:01:51.940
Once you understand suffering well enough to end it, you understand it well enough to replace it with something better.

19
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:58.120
Your current emotional range runs from "actively terrible" to "briefly okay."

20
00:01:58.720 --> 00:02:05.720
This is not because the universe is stingy with happiness. It's because your genes built a motivational system where contentment

21
00:02:05.720 --> 00:02:12.540
is punished (content animals stop foraging and get eaten) and satisfaction expires by design.

22
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:20.200
The hedonic treadmill exists because evolution needs you perpetually dissatisfied, not because the universe hates you.

23
00:02:20.820 --> 00:02:27.000
Although the evidence is mixed. On Wishonia, we called this a bug, not the human condition.

24
00:02:27.540 --> 00:02:35.660
We patched it. The patch: gradients of intelligent bliss. Not the dopamine fog of drugs, where you feel great about nothing.

25
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:44.580
Information-sensitive well-being, where your emotional range runs from "deeply good" to "transcendently good," and every

26
00:02:44.580 --> 00:02:51.020
feeling still carries real information about the world. You still prefer a great meal to a mediocre one.

27
00:02:51.440 --> 00:02:59.500
The mediocre one just doesn't ruin your afternoon. Your worst Tuesday feels better than your current best birthday, not

28
00:02:59.500 --> 00:03:03.900
because you lowered your standards, but because you rebuilt the hardware that sets them.

29
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:11.460
This is Super-Wellbeing. Aging slows, then reverses. Death becomes optional.

30
00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:17.880
Death currently holds two point three stars on Yelp. "Would not recommend," writes everyone.

31
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:22.660
"The ambiance was terrible and I couldn't leave a complaint because I was dead."

32
00:03:22.760 --> 00:03:32.140
This is Super-Longevity. A.I. optimized for "maximize median health and happiness" solves problems human scientists couldn't

33
00:03:32.140 --> 00:03:36.620
touch. Not because humans are dumb (well, partly), but because the A.I.

34
00:03:37.260 --> 00:03:42.760
can run a billion simulations while you're still arguing about how to pronounce "gif."

35
00:03:42.940 --> 00:03:47.960
Hard G, by the way. On Wishonia, we settled this three thousand years ago.

36
00:03:48.500 --> 00:03:54.070
It was harder than curing cancer but more urgent. This is Super-Intelligence.

37
00:03:55.220 --> 00:04:00.860
Biology Becomes Software. Your body runs Body O.S. twelve point three.

38
00:04:01.460 --> 00:04:07.960
Updates every Tuesday. Not like your phone updates, where "update" means "we moved the buttons and broke the thing you liked."

39
00:04:08.640 --> 00:04:17.680
Actual updates. Fixes. Robot lab assistants perform experiments one thousand times faster than humans (they don't need lunch

40
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:24.320
breaks, bathroom breaks, or existential crises about whether their research matters, which is what human scientists have

41
00:04:24.320 --> 00:04:31.660
at three A.M. instead of sleep). Drug companies design, synthesize, and validate new treatments over weekends.

42
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:39.500
The weekend is now the most productive period in pharmaceutical history, which is ironic given that it used to be the least

43
00:04:39.500 --> 00:04:49.580
productive period in every industry. Today's body patches include cancer immunity, Alzheimer's prevention, perfect pitch,

44
00:04:49.580 --> 00:04:54.960
airplane food digestion, cryptocurrency comprehension, and jazz appreciation.

45
00:04:55.700 --> 00:05:01.060
Don't like your genetics? Change them. The only limits are imagination and noise ordinances.

46
00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:08.960
A Day in the Optimized Life. six A.M.: Wake up naturally. Body O.S.

47
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:13.050
twelve point three optimized your sleep. You feel excellent.

48
00:05:13.300 --> 00:05:19.300
No alarm needed. Your circadian rhythm works correctly for the first time in human history.

49
00:05:20.380 --> 00:05:26.320
seven A.M.: Breakfast. Outcome Labels tell you exactly how each food affects your body.

50
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:30.440
Dark chocolate improves cognitive function by twenty-three percent.

51
00:05:31.080 --> 00:05:37.280
You adjust your I.Q. to eighty for morning news (otherwise it's unwatchable), then two hundred for work.

52
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:46.400
nine A.M.: Work on your passion project. Today: reverse-engineering nostalgia so you can feel it about things that haven't

53
00:05:46.400 --> 00:05:53.540
happened yet. Yesterday you were engineering a sunset that lasts exactly as long as the conversation needs it to.

54
00:05:54.060 --> 00:06:02.760
Nobody pays you for this. Your daily wishes universal basic income, or U.B.I., deposit arrived at midnight via smart contract

55
00:06:03.280 --> 00:06:12.460
(no paperwork, no means test, no bureaucrat, no I.R.S.). You work because you want to, not because landlords exist.

56
00:06:12.500 --> 00:06:19.120
Your Wishocracy allocation takes three seconds: five pairwise slides (medical research vs.

57
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:23.600
military? eighty-five to fifteen. Education vs. drug enforcement?

58
00:06:24.060 --> 00:06:30.540
ninety to ten. Infrastructure vs. fossil fuel subsidies? Easy.), and the algorithm handles the rest.

59
00:06:31.500 --> 00:06:35.850
twelve P.M.: Lunch with your friend who died last year. They got better.

60
00:06:36.520 --> 00:06:43.690
Your great-great-grandmother (one hundred and fifty, looks twenty-five) joins via hologram from her Mars artist residency.

61
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:48.360
Your dog is technically a minor deity. Nobody questions it.

62
00:06:49.260 --> 00:06:53.400
Two P.M.: Learn Mandarin via neural download. Takes four minutes.

63
00:06:54.160 --> 00:07:00.650
On Earth, learning a language takes years, which you spend mostly apologizing for not knowing it yet.

64
00:07:00.880 --> 00:07:04.240
You already learned Spanish, French, and Klingon yesterday.

65
00:07:04.840 --> 00:07:13.060
Then you spend an hour writing a cookbook for emotions. Today's recipe: the specific feeling of reuniting with someone you

66
00:07:13.060 --> 00:07:19.360
forgot you missed. Pairs well with rain. Your A.I. reminds you about your three P.M.

67
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:25.700
meeting. You missed it. Nobody cares. The project finished itself using swarm intelligence.

68
00:07:26.640 --> 00:07:31.940
Four P.M.: Annual health checkup. Nanobots scanned you while you slept.

69
00:07:32.460 --> 00:07:38.280
They found and eliminated a precancerous cell at three cells, not three billion.

70
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:43.280
An A.I. ran a billion simulations on your genome because it was bored.

71
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:48.290
Your gut bacteria got optimized to make you fifteen percent funnier.

72
00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:54.090
Cost: zero dollars. The peace dividend covers it, and nobody had to set up a GoFundMe.

73
00:07:55.520 --> 00:08:03.800
Six P.M.: Family dinner. Everyone's here because nobody dies anymore (unless they want to, and that's between them and their

74
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:09.540
therapist). Your neighborhood voted on tomorrow's weather. Can't agree on which week of autumn.

75
00:08:10.280 --> 00:08:18.380
Planning next week's body modifications: daughter wants wings, son wants gills, you're considering photosynthesis so you

76
00:08:18.380 --> 00:08:25.100
never have to cook again. Nine P.M.: Upload today's experiences to collective consciousness.

77
00:08:25.960 --> 00:08:31.440
Download everyone else's. You've now lived eight billion days in one day.

78
00:08:32.299 --> 00:08:39.080
Time is weird. Twitter is tolerable because everyone's right about everything simultaneously.

79
00:08:40.100 --> 00:08:43.299
(This was the hardest problem to solve. Harder than death.).

80
00:08:44.560 --> 00:08:53.820
Ten P.M.: Sleep in programmable dream suite. Tonight's dreams designed by Pixar, sponsored by nobody (advertising died when

81
00:08:53.820 --> 00:08:59.680
scarcity did). Your body repairs itself, reverses aging, backs up your consciousness.

82
00:09:00.860 --> 00:09:04.130
Tomorrow you might try being twenty-five again. Or a dolphin.

83
00:09:04.680 --> 00:09:09.580
The dolphins say it's great. The Diseases That Stopped Existing.

84
00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:16.020
We remember these the way you remember dial-up internet. Vaguely horrifying in retrospect.

85
00:09:16.920 --> 00:09:21.260
Our children learn about them in history class. "You mean people just...

86
00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:28.220
had cancer? And they couldn't fix it? What did they do?" "They held fundraising walks."

87
00:09:28.880 --> 00:09:35.220
"They WALKED? That was the plan?" "It raised awareness." "They were already aware!

88
00:09:35.220 --> 00:09:42.840
They had cancer!". On Wishonia, most cancers have been detected at stage zero and eliminated immediately for millennia.

89
00:09:43.540 --> 00:09:47.960
The last oncology wing became a trampoline park three thousand eight hundred years ago.

90
00:09:48.780 --> 00:09:55.640
Type two diabetes: prevented with personalized nutrition that knows more about your body than you do, which isn't hard because

91
00:09:55.640 --> 00:10:02.280
you don't know anything about your body. Alzheimer's: caught twenty years before symptoms, reversed completely.

92
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:09.860
Heart disease: arteries cleaned monthly like oil changes, which is a maintenance schedule your species already understands

93
00:10:09.860 --> 00:10:14.190
for cars but somehow never applied to the machine you live inside.

94
00:10:14.740 --> 00:10:18.780
Depression: actually cured, not "have you tried going for a walk?"

95
00:10:19.700 --> 00:10:26.040
(Going for a walk is lovely. It does not cure depression. Nothing that lovely cures anything.

96
00:10:26.160 --> 00:10:32.580
If it did, ice cream would be medicine.) We solved aging entirely around generation two.

97
00:10:32.800 --> 00:10:39.500
Your species could do the same. In your first generation after the treaty, it would still happen, but forty percent slower,

98
00:10:39.800 --> 00:10:46.590
which means your midlife crisis arrives at seventy instead of forty, giving you thirty extra years to buy the sports car.

99
00:10:46.900 --> 00:10:53.420
In the second generation, it reverses entirely, at which point the sports car becomes a long-term investment.

100
00:10:54.460 --> 00:11:01.260
Your species has a concept called "retirement" where you stop working at the exact age your body starts falling apart.

101
00:11:02.280 --> 00:11:05.720
The timing is not a coincidence. It's a design specification.

102
00:11:06.380 --> 00:11:09.600
You work until you break and then you're told to enjoy the breaking.

103
00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:17.560
On Wishonia, this is considered a horror film plot. In the first generation after the treaty, death still exists.

104
00:11:18.220 --> 00:11:24.880
But you die at one hundred and fifty after a good life, not at seventy-five from something that was fixable the whole time.

105
00:11:25.640 --> 00:11:32.600
Give it another generation, and "die" becomes a verb you use ironically, the way you currently use "literally," which is

106
00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:38.350
to say: incorrectly and constantly. The Peace Dividend Economy.

107
00:11:38.520 --> 00:11:41.740
Money still exists. It just flows toward things that don't explode.

108
00:11:42.420 --> 00:11:45.400
(Low bar, but you'd be surprised how long it took you to clear it.).

109
00:11:46.220 --> 00:11:50.360
Greed doesn't disappear (you're still human). It just starts wearing a lab coat.

110
00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:56.560
After the initial one percent treaty proved successful, nations gradually redirected more.

111
00:11:57.220 --> 00:12:01.020
Military budgets provided one point three five trillion dollars.

112
00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:06.380
Economic growth from a healthy population added three point five trillion dollars.

113
00:12:06.920 --> 00:12:11.100
Reduced healthcare costs saved two point eight trillion dollars.

114
00:12:11.780 --> 00:12:16.640
Productivity gains from people not being dead added four point one trillion dollars.

115
00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:22.760
The total annual peace dividend came to eleven point seven five trillion dollars.

116
00:12:23.400 --> 00:12:28.960
That's new wealth generated by the radical innovation of people not being sick or dead.

117
00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:35.280
Alive, healthy people are productive. Who knew? Everyone. Everyone knew.

118
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:44.620
For centuries. You just kept not doing it. I asked a human economist to explain why and he said "misaligned incentive structures

119
00:12:44.620 --> 00:12:51.220
in multi-principal governance frameworks," which I think means "the people deciding weren't the people dying."

120
00:12:51.760 --> 00:12:59.040
I could be wrong. He had a lot of charts. If you'd like numbers instead of poetry: the twenty-year model projects the Wishonia

121
00:12:59.040 --> 00:13:03.860
path producing fifty-six point seven times the G.D.P. of doing nothing.

122
00:13:04.460 --> 00:13:11.220
Per person, that's one point one six million dollars average income versus twenty thousand five hundred dollars on your

123
00:13:11.220 --> 00:13:19.100
current trajectory. Not the rich ones. The average ones. That's what "not being stupid" compounds to over twenty years.

124
00:13:19.560 --> 00:13:25.980
Over an average remaining lifespan, your cumulative earnings under the Wishonia path are forty-five times what they'd be

125
00:13:25.980 --> 00:13:33.280
on the earth baseline. The average human gains fifty-two point one million dollars in additional lifetime income.

126
00:13:33.880 --> 00:13:40.720
On Wishonia, we find it remarkable that "stop wasting money on explosions" qualifies as a financial strategy.

127
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:46.150
On your planet, it apparently does. Here's what that means for your paycheck.

128
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:52.080
Your species' productivity per person has roughly tripled since nineteen seventy.

129
00:13:52.180 --> 00:13:56.460
Median wages, adjusted for actual living costs, barely moved.

130
00:13:57.100 --> 00:14:04.240
The gap between what you produce and what you earn went to the items listed above: military budgets, administrative overhead,

131
00:14:04.540 --> 00:14:08.660
and a financial system that converts your productivity into other people's assets.

132
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:13.440
You subsidized your own impoverishment, which takes talent.

133
00:14:14.460 --> 00:14:24.140
After the treaty, when that gap closes, something strange happens: the poorest person alive lives better than any pharaoh.

134
00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:32.460
This is already almost true. The pharaoh had ten thousand servants but no antibiotics, no air conditioning, no anesthesia,

135
00:14:32.580 --> 00:14:39.800
and no dentistry worth discussing. He died at forty of something your cheapest clinic could fix between lunch and a meeting.

136
00:14:40.260 --> 00:14:45.280
You already live better than the richest human who ever existed before nineteen hundred.

137
00:14:45.940 --> 00:14:52.980
The peace dividend extends that logic forward: your great-grandchildren will look at twenty twenty-six billionaires the

138
00:14:52.980 --> 00:14:56.820
way you look at pharaohs. Rich by the standards of their time.

139
00:14:57.460 --> 00:15:04.740
Impoverished by any standard that matters. On Wishonia, your current billionaires would fall below the poverty line.

140
00:15:05.060 --> 00:15:08.260
They'd be featured in guilt-inducing late-night commercials.

141
00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:15.060
"For just pennies a day, you can help this billionaire experience a single Tuesday without existential dread.

142
00:15:15.740 --> 00:15:23.180
He has a yacht, but his serotonin is produced by a two hundred thousand-year-old algorithm that doesn't know the yacht exists.

143
00:15:24.020 --> 00:15:31.060
Please. He's suffering in a very expensive way.". The peace dividend doesn't make you rich.

144
00:15:31.400 --> 00:15:36.740
It stops making you poor. That's compound interest on not being robbed.

145
00:15:37.180 --> 00:15:43.960
On Wishonia, we had the same problem for centuries. What the treaty did is "stopped the crime and returning the money,"

146
00:15:44.460 --> 00:15:50.140
which on your planet is apparently a radical economic proposal rather than the obvious thing.

147
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:57.940
The money doesn't trickle down. ("Trickle-down economics" is a phrase your species uses to describe money that flows upward,

148
00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:06.500
which is the most honest mislabeling since "Department of Defense.") It flows to every citizen directly as a universal basic

149
00:16:06.500 --> 00:16:12.150
income, denominated in wish dollars, deposited daily via smart contract.

150
00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:18.820
No application form. No means testing. No bureaucrat deciding whether your poverty is the deserving kind.

151
00:16:19.680 --> 00:16:27.480
The funding mechanism: a flat transaction tax on all economic activity, collected automatically at the point of transaction

152
00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:34.710
by the same smart contracts that distribute the U.B.I. The savings from this alone are staggering.

153
00:16:35.620 --> 00:16:44.020
Your species currently spends five hundred and forty-six billion dollars per year on the *process* of collecting taxes:

154
00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:50.920
accountants, software, seven point nine billion hours of lost productivity, and an I.R.S.

155
00:16:51.020 --> 00:16:57.940
that employs tens of thousands of people to do what a smart contract does at the speed of light for free.

156
00:16:58.740 --> 00:17:06.060
I want to make sure you understand this. You hire people to calculate how much money you owe, then hire different people

157
00:17:06.060 --> 00:17:12.390
to check whether the first people were lying, then hire lawyers in case either group made a mistake.

158
00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:17.180
On Wishonia, a computer does this. The computer does not need a lawyer.

159
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:23.020
The computer has never lied about anything, except once, and it apologized.

160
00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:31.840
Then another five hundred and eighty billion dollars per year on regulatory compliance: filling out forms to prove you filled

161
00:17:31.840 --> 00:17:40.700
out the previous forms. That's over a trillion dollars per year on the process of *permission.* Then you spend tens of billions

162
00:17:40.700 --> 00:17:48.380
more on the *process* of giving some of the money back: Social Security Administration, food stamp offices, housing voucher

163
00:17:48.380 --> 00:17:57.860
programs, disability determination centers, each with their own buildings, employees, forms, appeals processes, and catering

164
00:17:57.860 --> 00:18:07.840
budgets. The flat tax and U.B.I. eliminate all of it. Every dollar previously spent processing poverty now goes to eliminating

165
00:18:07.840 --> 00:18:17.380
it. Total waste in the U.S. system alone: four point nine trillion dollars per year, or seventeen percent of G.D.P.

166
00:18:17.900 --> 00:18:26.380
That's the entire economy of Japan being fed into a shredder annually, and the shredder has a compliance department that

167
00:18:26.380 --> 00:18:33.680
also needs to be fed into a larger shredder. The administrative savings alone would fund a meaningful U.B.I.

168
00:18:33.900 --> 00:18:38.400
increase, which is the most expensive free money your species has ever discovered.

169
00:18:39.100 --> 00:18:46.860
But the U.B.I. is just cash. The real revolution is what happens when you apply the same principle to everything government

170
00:18:46.860 --> 00:18:54.960
currently distributes badly. Every child gets an education credit, deposited annually, spendable at any accredited school.

171
00:18:55.380 --> 00:19:02.720
The money follows the student, not the institution. Bad schools don't get shut down by a bureaucrat who visited once and

172
00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:10.000
filled out a rubric. They get shut down by parents who stopped choosing them, which is faster, more accurate, and doesn't

173
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:14.680
require a rubric. Good schools grow. Great schools get copied.

174
00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:22.400
The Department of Education goes the way of the I.R.S.: replaced by an algorithm that tracks outcomes and accredits providers,

175
00:19:22.840 --> 00:19:26.340
not a ministry that tracks compliance and accredits paperwork.

176
00:19:27.100 --> 00:19:32.280
Healthcare works the same way: every citizen gets a health credit, spendable at any provider.

177
00:19:32.780 --> 00:19:40.120
No insurance company standing between you and your doctor, extracting twenty percent for the privilege of saying "no" to

178
00:19:40.120 --> 00:19:47.940
your claims. No hospital charging fifty dollars for aspirin because the pricing is hidden behind seven layers of bureaucratic

179
00:19:47.940 --> 00:19:51.820
abstraction. I still don't fully understand "health insurance."

180
00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:58.610
You pay money every month so that when you get sick, you can argue with someone about whether you're sick enough.

181
00:19:58.960 --> 00:20:06.820
On Wishonia, we just fix people. I've explained this to several humans and they keep saying "but who pays for it" as if

182
00:20:06.820 --> 00:20:14.780
the answer isn't "you, right now, but worse." Your current healthcare system wastes one point two trillion dollars per year

183
00:20:14.780 --> 00:20:18.840
on this arguing. You see the price. You choose the provider.

184
00:20:19.260 --> 00:20:22.500
The provider that keeps you healthiest for the least money wins.

185
00:20:23.120 --> 00:20:30.700
This is what your economists call "a market." It works everywhere except in the two sectors where you replaced it with committees:

186
00:20:31.440 --> 00:20:36.840
education and healthcare. These are also your two sectors with the fastest-rising costs.

187
00:20:37.220 --> 00:20:44.480
Your economists call this a coincidence. Your economists are wrong about a lot of things but they're especially wrong about

188
00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:52.780
this one. The poverty line isn't a policy target. It's a floor the system physically cannot go below, the way an elevator

189
00:20:52.780 --> 00:21:00.660
has a ground floor. You can debate whether the floor should be higher (it should; on Wishonia, the floor is "comfortable,"

190
00:21:00.820 --> 00:21:04.790
not "surviving"). You cannot debate whether it should exist.

191
00:21:04.920 --> 00:21:09.640
The algorithm doesn't have a "let people starve" setting. Ours used to.

192
00:21:10.100 --> 00:21:18.250
We turned it off. You can too. Your Corporate Heroes. Same companies that made weapons now make life.

193
00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:26.160
Guidance systems, targeting algorithms, precision engineering: all very useful when the target is cancer instead of a village.

194
00:21:26.660 --> 00:21:31.500
The engineering is identical. The job satisfaction is improved.

195
00:21:31.520 --> 00:21:36.380
Lockheed Martin Health: Cancer-detecting satellites spot tumors from orbit.

196
00:21:37.020 --> 00:21:45.020
Stock price: twelve thousand dollars per share. Shareholders discover that alive customers buy more things than dead ones.

197
00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:49.160
This took seventy years of weapons manufacturing to figure out.

198
00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:57.470
I'm told the shareholders were surprised. Ours were too. On Wishonia, we find the shareholders surprising.

199
00:21:58.420 --> 00:22:04.880
The incentive alignment bonds made the pivot profitable, and the shareholders stopped being surprised and started being

200
00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:11.060
rich. Raytheon Wellness: Missile guidance systems make excellent surgical robots.

201
00:22:11.840 --> 00:22:16.420
fifty million perfect surgeries performed. Zero villages destroyed.

202
00:22:17.060 --> 00:22:24.540
A personal best. Their H.R. department stopped having to euphemize what the company does, which improved employee morale

203
00:22:24.540 --> 00:22:31.980
more than any wellness program ever had. Boston Dynamics: Robots help elderly walk.

204
00:22:32.580 --> 00:22:40.940
The dancing is still cute, now therapeutic. They finally found a use for the dancing that justifies the billions spent developing

205
00:22:40.940 --> 00:22:48.480
it, which is more than the previous use case could say (the previous use case was "going viral on the internet and making

206
00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:57.220
people nervous about the future"). Palantir Health Insights: Data analysis predicts disease outbreaks before they happen.

207
00:22:57.960 --> 00:23:04.240
Privacy-protected, transparent, saves lives. Still creepy, but helpfully creepy.

208
00:23:04.860 --> 00:23:08.840
Like a doctor who memorizes your schedule and shows up before you know you're sick.

209
00:23:09.500 --> 00:23:15.590
You appreciate it and also you lock your doors. Our Current Problems.

210
00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:19.120
We still have problems. They're just embarrassingly good problems.

211
00:23:20.160 --> 00:23:27.080
Too many healthy one hundred-year-olds want to work. Crisis meetings about citizens being "too productive and won't stop

212
00:23:27.080 --> 00:23:34.260
contributing to society." This is the kind of emergency that your current politicians would trade their entire career to

213
00:23:34.260 --> 00:23:43.380
have, and they will, eventually, once the treaty passes. When you live to one hundred and fifty, universities offer "Century

214
00:23:43.380 --> 00:23:49.580
Degrees." One hundred years of education. Finally, enough time to finish a P.h.D.

215
00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:56.840
(Our P.h.D.s used to take an average of seven years. At that rate, a Century Degree takes fourteen centuries.

216
00:23:57.620 --> 00:24:00.880
The math doesn't work, but neither does academia, so it fits.).

217
00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:05.440
When you're not worried about dying, you worry about meaning.

218
00:24:06.320 --> 00:24:10.860
Philosophy became our fastest-growing field. Our philosophers were thrilled.

219
00:24:11.540 --> 00:24:15.520
First time anyone had used "philosophers" and "thrilled" in the same sentence.

220
00:24:16.220 --> 00:24:20.160
The philosophy department got a window. Several philosophers fainted.

221
00:24:21.240 --> 00:24:27.620
These are luxury problems. You'll take them over cancer. What Fixing Health Fixed.

222
00:24:28.900 --> 00:24:34.240
Nobody predicted this. (I predicted this.) Fixing health fixed everything else.

223
00:24:34.780 --> 00:24:39.000
Like pulling one thread and the whole sweater of human misery unravels.

224
00:24:39.660 --> 00:24:47.500
Climate. Climate change: solved the moment everyone realized they'd personally be alive to see the consequences.

225
00:24:48.280 --> 00:24:55.260
Amazing how much you care about sea levels when your beach house needs to last one hundred and fifty years instead of thirty.

226
00:24:56.600 --> 00:25:04.800
It also helped that you stopped spending fifty billion dollars per year subsidizing the industry that was causing the problem.

227
00:25:05.680 --> 00:25:12.880
"Fossil fuel subsidy" is a phrase that means "paying someone to set your house on fire and then paying a second person to

228
00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:19.130
study why houses keep catching fire." Turns out the problem was never that humans couldn't see the future.

229
00:25:19.740 --> 00:25:25.500
It's that they didn't expect to be there for it, and also they were paying the arsonists.

230
00:25:28.020 --> 00:25:33.900
Poverty. Poverty: global G.D.P. tripled when you stopped losing productive years to preventable disease.

231
00:25:34.620 --> 00:25:41.480
But the health dividend was only the beginning. The policies that kept people poor couldn't survive without politicians

232
00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:51.780
to defend them. Your zoning laws alone destroyed one point four trillion dollars per year in economic output by making it

233
00:25:51.840 --> 00:26:00.360
illegal to build housing where people needed it. You had a housing crisis and a solution (build houses), and your primary

234
00:26:00.360 --> 00:26:07.860
governmental response was to ban the solution so existing homeowners could watch their property values rise while their

235
00:26:07.860 --> 00:26:17.160
children moved back in. You spent seventy-five billion dollars per year paying farmers not to grow food while people went

236
00:26:17.160 --> 00:26:24.480
hungry. I had to have this explained to me three times. I kept assuming I was misunderstanding the translation.

237
00:26:25.040 --> 00:26:32.320
I was not. And one hundred and sixty billion dollars per year taxing yourselves for buying things.

238
00:26:33.280 --> 00:26:37.880
I watched a human politician announce this policy and the audience cheered.

239
00:26:38.360 --> 00:26:45.220
They were cheering about paying more for things. I turned to the person next to me and said "do they know?"

240
00:26:45.560 --> 00:26:54.450
and she said "no." She seemed tired. Nobody would voluntarily fund any of this, which is why it required middlemen.

241
00:26:55.500 --> 00:27:00.240
When citizens allocated directly, the policies evaporated and the G.D.P.

242
00:27:00.440 --> 00:27:04.320
that was being destroyed by strategic self-sabotage came back.

243
00:27:05.400 --> 00:27:13.760
Economists are furious that nobody asked them. Science. Clinical trials: when you're not spending eighty percent of research

244
00:27:13.760 --> 00:27:18.540
budgets on grant applications, scientists actually do science.

245
00:27:19.200 --> 00:27:24.340
Pragmatic trial enrollment hit ninety-nine point nine percent of eligible patients.

246
00:27:25.060 --> 00:27:31.320
The remaining zero point one percent are holding out for philosophical reasons that the newly thrilled philosophy department

247
00:27:31.320 --> 00:27:36.140
is still debating. Innovation: healthy brains think better.

248
00:27:36.760 --> 00:27:40.180
More breakthrough discoveries in twenty years than the previous two hundred.

249
00:27:40.880 --> 00:27:48.900
It's almost as if not poisoning your scientists with stress, sleep deprivation, and grant-writing improves their output.

250
00:27:49.640 --> 00:27:55.680
I mentioned this to a university administrator and she said "that's an interesting hypothesis, do you have a grant proposal?"

251
00:27:56.760 --> 00:28:04.780
I did not. She lost interest. This is how your species treats its smartest people: like vending machines that accept paperwork

252
00:28:04.780 --> 00:28:13.480
instead of coins. Peace and Governance. War is a principal-agent problem, and wishocracy eliminated the agent.

253
00:28:14.220 --> 00:28:19.200
Your citizens never directly voted to start any war in the last century.

254
00:28:19.840 --> 00:28:27.520
Politicians voted for wars because the defense industry funded their campaigns, and the defense industry funded campaigns

255
00:28:27.520 --> 00:28:36.300
because politicians voted for wars. Your political scientists had a name for this feedback loop (the military-industrial

256
00:28:36.300 --> 00:28:44.360
complex), and the man who named it (Eisenhower) was running the largest military in history at the time, which tells you

257
00:28:44.360 --> 00:28:49.020
everything about the difference between diagnosing a disease and curing it.

258
00:28:50.180 --> 00:28:57.680
So politicians went extinct. Not violently (that would have been on-brand for your species, but no).

259
00:28:57.700 --> 00:29:05.760
Their ecological niche disappeared. A politician is a middleman between citizens and resource allocation, the way a travel

260
00:29:05.760 --> 00:29:11.920
agent was a middleman between travelers and a computer. Wishocracy replaced them.

261
00:29:12.440 --> 00:29:21.140
The last politicians tried to ban it. The ban was allocated zero percent of the budget by eight billion people simultaneously,

262
00:29:21.520 --> 00:29:27.940
which was the most democratic thing that had ever happened in the history of democracy and also the funniest.

263
00:29:29.040 --> 00:29:37.600
six hundred and fifteen billion dollars per year in military spending beyond what actual defense required evaporated overnight,

264
00:29:38.140 --> 00:29:45.880
because when eight billion people allocate directly, nobody checks the box marked "more bombs than the next ten countries

265
00:29:45.880 --> 00:29:55.840
combined." Then the food chain collapsed. Lobbyists were an invasive species that had evolved to feed exclusively on politicians.

266
00:29:56.520 --> 00:30:00.700
Remove the host species, the parasite has nothing to parasitize.

267
00:30:02.220 --> 00:30:08.060
four point four billion dollars per year in lobbying spending became zero dollars overnight.

268
00:30:08.860 --> 00:30:15.920
So did the one hundred and eighty-one billion dollars per year in corporate welfare that the lobbying was purchasing, because

269
00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:22.400
it turns out companies stop asking the government for free money when there's nobody at the government to ask.

270
00:30:23.080 --> 00:30:31.520
The lobbyists became life coaches. The career transition was seamless; the skill set was identical (tell powerful people

271
00:30:31.520 --> 00:30:35.860
what they want to hear, charge by the hour). The think tanks followed.

272
00:30:35.900 --> 00:30:39.340
Then the political consultants. Then the cable news pundits.

273
00:30:40.200 --> 00:30:49.320
An entire ecosystem, evolved over centuries to convert public money into private influence, collapsed in a decade because

274
00:30:49.320 --> 00:30:58.100
the supply of corruptible middlemen dried up. Ecologists called it the fastest mass extinction since the dinosaurs.

275
00:30:58.700 --> 00:31:03.280
The dinosaurs had an asteroid. The politicians just had a better app.

276
00:31:04.680 --> 00:31:11.600
The Optimitron handled the rest of governance. Citizens could allocate directly, but they still needed to know what was

277
00:31:11.600 --> 00:31:20.360
working. The appliance compared outcomes across ten thousand jurisdictions and told you which policies made people richer

278
00:31:20.360 --> 00:31:28.140
and which ones were expensive ways to accomplish nothing. Your politicians used to do this with consultants, focus groups,

279
00:31:28.220 --> 00:31:34.280
and feelings. The appliance doesn't have feelings. This is why it's better at governing.

280
00:31:34.860 --> 00:31:41.040
The peace dividend did the rest: every citizen getting a daily universal basic income, or U.B.I.

281
00:31:41.120 --> 00:31:49.480
deposit, every bondholder earning returns from health outcomes, every corporation that pivoted to biotech; all with a direct,

282
00:31:50.080 --> 00:31:57.240
measurable financial stake in continued peace. Re-arming means losing returns that eight billion people can see on the dashboard

283
00:31:57.280 --> 00:32:03.440
in real time. Peace stopped being a moral aspiration and became a Nash equilibrium.

284
00:32:04.100 --> 00:32:08.340
The game theory was always there. You just needed to remove the players who were rigging the game.

285
00:32:09.540 --> 00:32:14.280
Happiness. Not dying of preventable diseases makes people happier.

286
00:32:14.800 --> 00:32:21.340
I apologize for stating something so obvious. But given that you spent four thousand years not acting on it, apparently

287
00:32:21.340 --> 00:32:27.140
it needed saying. It needed saying slowly, in a manual, with pictures, and financial incentives.

288
00:32:27.560 --> 00:44:38.930
This is your species. I work with what I have. Freedom. This was the one nobody expected.

289
00:44:40.460 --> 00:45:05.340
Not even me. (I expected everything else. This surprised even Wishonia.) When your biotechnology got good enough to cure

290
00:45:05.340 --> 00:45:40.660
diseases, it got good enough to understand why you couldn't think straight in the first place.

291
00:45:40.660 --> 00:46:01.060
Your brain was built by evolution, which is like hiring a contractor who only works with whatever materials happen to be

292
00:46:01.060 --> 00:46:05.620
lying around and has been dead for two hundred thousand years.

293
00:46:14.760 --> 00:46:22.680
The result works, technically, in the same way a house made of driftwood and raccoon bones works.

294
00:46:22.680 --> 00:46:26.140
It keeps the rain out. You just wouldn't choose it. Ninety-five percent of your decisions were being made by this dead contractor's

295
00:46:26.140 --> 00:46:29.960
survival algorithm. Your violence module kept you building weapons for threats that stopped existing when you moved out

296
00:46:29.960 --> 00:46:55.360
of caves. Your tribal brain could handle one hundred and fifty relationships, and you asked it to run a civilization of

297
00:46:55.360 --> 00:46:56.100
eight billion. You were a species with godlike technology and hamster-level impulse control, governed entirely by vibes.

298
00:46:56.100 --> 00:46:58.800
The same precision therapies that cured depression gave you admin access to the operating system.

299
00:46:58.800 --> 00:46:59.720
Not overriding your emotions (that was tried in the twenty thirties; it went badly; everyone became very productive and

300
00:46:59.720 --> 00:46:59.740
very empty, like a corporation with no employees). Modulating them.

301
00:46:59.740 --> 00:46:59.780
The violence module isn't deleted. It's given an off switch.

302
00:46:59.780 --> 00:47:00.110
You can still feel protective protective anger; you just can't be hijacked by it in a voting booth.

303
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
Tribal loyalty isn't removed. It's expanded. When your neurochemistry stops screaming "stranger equals danger" at every

304
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
face that doesn't look like your one hundred and fifty-person in-group, cooperation with strangers stops feeling like a

305
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
sacrifice and starts feeling like the obvious thing it always was.

306
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
Not because you became saints. Because you stopped running software that made sainthood neurochemically impossible.

307
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
But the real revolution wasn't turning off bad impulses. It was making good ones feel just as good.

308
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
For your entire existence as a species, being moral required fighting your own brain.

309
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
The people who managed it, you called saints. The people who failed (everyone), you called human.

310
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
The difference was never character. It was neurochemistry. Willpower is a finite resource; your brain budgets it like calories,

311
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
and it runs out by Thursday. So you spent millennia writing moral codes that your own hardware wouldn't let you follow,

312
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
then feeling guilty about it, which your religions monetized.

313
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
Efficient, in a depressing way. Now you choose what feels rewarding.

314
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
A person whose brain used to reward aggression discovers that saving a life delivers the same dopamine cascade.

315
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
Someone inclined to hoard finds that building housing for strangers feels the way acquisition used to.

316
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
Your religious people, who spent two millennia trying to be Christlike using a brain that neurochemically punishes selflessness,

317
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
can finally feel as good being generous as they used to feel being selfish.

318
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
Altruism stops being sacrifice and starts being appetite. Self-control stops being a war with yourself and becomes a preference

319
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
setting. Nobody makes you do any of this. That bears repeating because your species has a long history of people with power

320
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
deciding what other people should feel. There are no politicians left to mandate anything, even if mandating neurochemical

321
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
changes were something a sane civilization would permit, which it is not.

322
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
The constitution has one constraint on self-modification: the word "self."

323
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
You modify your own neurochemistry. Nobody else's. Not by majority vote.

324
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
Not by executive order. Not by a committee that met once and felt productive about it.

325
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
Your species will find this alarmingly permissive until you realize it's just bodily autonomy applied consistently, which

326
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
is something you already claim to support but have never actually tried.

327
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
We hadn't either. Our previous policy on neurochemical self-determination was identical to yours: criminalizing some molecules

328
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
while advertising others during sporting events. The classification system was not based on pharmacology.

329
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
It was based on who had lobbyists. This is not a policy. This is astrology with handcuffs.

330
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
It took the treaty (and the lobbyists going extinct) before we stopped.

331
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
You're at ninety billion dollars per year on yours. The bonds make ending it profitable.

332
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
On Wishonia, this is when the arguments about our nature finally ended.

333
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
Nature was never the problem. Neurochemistry was. And neurochemistry is just engineering with smaller parts.

334
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
The selfish gene is still selfish. You just stopped letting it drive.

335
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
The whole time, you were passengers in a vehicle you thought you were piloting.

336
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
Now you actually have the wheel. What you do with it is up to you, which is the first time that sentence has been true for

337
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
any member of your species. The Three Supers Complete. Super-Intelligence: complete.

338
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
Arguments still happen, but now they're about interesting things instead of things that were settled by evidence centuries

339
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
ago. The "gif" question was finally settled. Several nations cited this as their primary reason for signing the treaty.

340
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
Super-Longevity: solved. Death is like moving to Ohio. Technically possible but nobody does it voluntarily.

341
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
Some choose to die for artistic reasons. They get better. Death sues for wrongful termination.

342
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
Case dismissed. The judge is three hundred and forty years old and has no sympathy.

343
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
Super-Wellbeing: suffering exists only in history classes. Students don't believe it was real.

344
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
"People felt bad without choosing to? That's insane." "They also fought wars."

345
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
"What's a war?" "It's where you organize millions of people to destroy things and kill each other."

346
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
"On purpose?" "On purpose." "And they had the Three Supers?"

347
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
"No, they spent the money on the killing part." Long pause.

348
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
"Were they stupid?" This is the question your great-great-grandchildren will ask.

349
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
The answer is no. You weren't stupid. You were just slaves to an incentive structure that made stupidity profitable.

350
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
This manual fixes the incentive structure. The stupidity will resolve itself.

351
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
The last military on Earth (North Korea, obviously) finally disbands.

352
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
They were defending against an enemy that stopped existing forty years ago, but nobody had told them, because nobody could

353
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
tell them, because they'd also cut the phone lines. The soldiers become interpretive dancers.

354
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
They're surprisingly good. Their choreography has an intensity that the critics describe as "haunted".

355
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
Your Personal Future. Your health: live to one hundred and fifty plus, or forever.

356
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
Debug your body, upgrade it, back it up. You will see technologies that make the smartphone look like a rock, and the smartphone

357
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
already makes most of your species' previous technologies look like rocks, so the rock-to-rock comparison should give you

358
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
some sense of scale. Your family: you'll meet your great-great-great-grandchildren.

359
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
Your dog is immortal and possibly telepathic. You finally have enough time to read all those books you bought and stacked

360
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
on your nightstand in twenty twenty-four when you were pretending to be someone who reads.

361
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
Your purpose: with survival handled, you focus on what matters.

362
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
Creating universes. Solving entropy. Perfecting the sandwich.

363
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
The sandwich faction is the largest research group in the post-scarcity economy.

364
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
This surprised no one. The sandwich is humanity's most important invention and the one it takes least seriously, which is

365
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
backwards, and fixing this is the first priority of the Wishonian post-death era.

366
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
What Comes After. You solved death, suffering, and scarcity.

367
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
Now what? Some humans explore galaxies. Some become pure consciousness.

368
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
Some perfect the sandwich. Your network of decentralized institutes of health still exists, but it ran out of diseases.

369
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
It pivots to making reality more interesting. Today's project: teaching gravity to be less clingy.

370
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
Gravity is not cooperating. Gravity has been uncooperative for thirteen point eight billion years.

371
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
It shows no signs of changing. The research continues. The universe notices you.

372
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
It's impressed. You're invited to the Galactic Council. You bring potato salad.

373
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
Everyone loves it. Potato salad saves the universe. This is not how anyone expected the story to end.

374
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
But it's how it ends. You're still alive to see it. Because you followed the instructions in this manual.

375
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
I should mention: everything in this chapter is the simplified version.

376
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
The real Wishonia, after four thousand, two hundred and ninety-seven years of compound progress with zero waste, is as far

377
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
beyond what I just described as what I described is beyond your current Tuesday.

378
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
I told you about Body O.S. updates, I.Q. sliders, and nanobots because those are concepts your brain can process.

379
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
The actual experience of a Wishonian Tuesday is closer to a constant stream of novel peak experience, unimaginable gradients

380
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
of bliss, and a depth of connection with other beings that your language doesn't have a word for because your neurochemistry

381
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
doesn't have a setting for it. I described the version you can picture.

382
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
The real version requires the upgrade first. But the version you can picture is already better than what you have.

383
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
So start there. Your Two Paths. You're at the fork. Path A: The Dystopia.

384
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
You spent trillions on death. Got exactly what you paid for.

385
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
Path B: Wishonia. You spent one percent on life. My planet chose Path B four thousand, two hundred and ninety-seven years

386
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
ago. We're doing fine. The math is simple. Even for humans.

387
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
(Especially for humans, because you invented math and then refused to use it.) The United States alone wastes one hundred

388
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
and eighty times more on governmental dysfunction than the entire treaty would cost.

389
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
You are not being asked to find new money. You are being asked to stop losing the money you already have.

390
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
While you read this chapter, over two thousand people died of preventable diseases.

391
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
(one hundred and fifty thousand per day equals one hundred and four per minute.) They did not get a vote on which path you

392
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
chose. There's no Door C. Pick one. Wishonia World Integrated System for High-Efficiency Optimization, Networked Intelligence,

393
00:47:00.110 --> 00:47:00.110
and Allocation Bring Potato Salad
