Bryan Johnson nails this: The ‘invisible hand’ is the elephant in the room. How we tackle offloaded social & environmental pollutants will define the next-gen companies.
My company blueprint is now a species level goal of helping humanity achieve immortality by 2039.
It’s the right moment for all businesses to make species survival their primary objective. Any business seducing people into self destructive behavior is an enemy of humanity.
Our 200 year old economic system is built upon “the invisible hand”, an idea of Adam Smith that billions of us make independent, self-interested decisions daily. Allowing humans to allocate scarce resources effectively. No one person could see the whole market so “the hand” did the work.
That blind system has grown an eye.
I’ll call it the sentient hand. Algorithmic orchestration that knows each of us better than we know ourselves and can shape our behaviors beyond our ability to control.
What has it done with this new found superpower? The most powerful economic engine in this part of the galaxy pointed itself at harnessing people to death; becoming apex predators. The system got smarter and chose violence. An intelligent system literally eating itself alive.
The sentient hand has kept humans in low-level dopamine loops creating devastating addiction, mood disorders, self-hatred, societal acrimony and poisoned the well of hope.
In old capitalism, you could externalize the cost of death. You could addict a generation to fast food, junk food and added sugar and call it growth. The data out and scientific understanding was too slow to point a finger. Now the sentient hand makes data the evidence. You can measure in biomarkers whether a given thing adds vibrancy or decay.
Old capitalism worships symbol collection: money, assets, status. Even if it means killing someone else for your profit. No matter. Individually, sleep debauchery, stacked pizza boxes, alcohol, nicotine, littered junk food wrappers and energy drinks ftw. Distorting judgment and killing clear-headed thinking. Weirdly this has been adopted as the success playbook even though it’s contrary to all scientific evidence on human performance.
Old capitalism sold us the story that life is short, pleasure now is rational and self-destruction is freedom. That’s what the sentient hand has exploited.
The new currency is biological vibrancy.
We humans need to accelerate our evolution. AI will increasingly automate lower level tasks (i.e. autonomous cars, coding, health) inviting us to climb the ladder of abstraction. We can let go and reach up.
Here is the invitation:
0. point your company’s objectives at the human race thriving
1. brainstorm ways your product or service can improve human flourishing
2. quantify the results whether it be in human biology, societal health, politics, nationstates, environmental, civilizational alignment, etc.
3. deploy, observe, improve, repeat
Exactly the problem DUAN/BeautiFi targets. Measure ventilation / offloaded pollutants like a utility, then align incentives to actually fix it. @Beauti_Fi
.@SMahalingaiahMD, a Harvard researcher, investigated the fertility risks women face from air pollution. But her grant was canceled.

dePINs/RWAs next big use case is transforming the two way street of split incentives into a continuous loop around manufacturers, investors and consumers! 🚀🌕
With DePIN projected to $3.5T by 2028, this flywheel is inevitable. #DePIN#RWA#Crypto#BNB
BeautuFi Token is minted only for verified mitigation work and burned when that work is retired through PoC.
No inflation games.
No hidden pools.
Every token is, in principle, retirable.
It’s a credit system that works because it’s narrow.
In an AI driven world, we need to shift from consumer economics by creating new asset classes. Tokenize stewardship of essentials like air, water, data & energy - manufacturers offset impacts, individuals earn passive income. Excited to work on #beautiFi to drive this to reality! #Stewardship #TokenUtility #Refi
@Rainmaker1973 Myst.
Didn’t sleep for days. Got grounded after racking up hundreds of dollars on a 1-800 tip line, and loved every second of it.
If it’s ever remaster it, I’m first in line.
If @GovKathyHochul, @AndreaSCousins, & @CarlHeastie have other solutions for ending wage theft & reproductive health risks in nail salons, they should propose them"

@historigins Is anyone else obsessing over what happened to that ring, or am I the only one scouring Google Earth like a full-time internet detective trying to solve the murder of John O’Keefe?
