Fascinating yet dystopian thought experiment.
If labor and politics cease to be relevant drivers of human survival, what remains is a pure game of sovereignty and resource allocation. But here’s the twist — humans were never purely economic beings.
Even in a hyper-bitcoinized, machine-dominated world, the intangible remains: art, philosophy, relationships, curiosity. These aren’t products of necessity but of existence itself. The premise assumes that efficiency is the ultimate goal — but history shows that meaning outruns efficiency every time.
In the end, perhaps the real flex won’t be how big your stack is, but whether you managed to stay human when everything around you became machine.
Yes, economic incentives are not the only ones and it's going to be interesting to see how the AI thing plays out. Both on the individual and collective level.
AI poses an existential threat, which creates incentives that are above economic.
