I’m going to share something with you that most people won’t see until it’s already happened.
A week ago, I attended the Abundance360 Summit in Los Angeles. It’s a $30K a year mastermind for CEOs and founders who want to learn about exponential technologies.
It’s one of the most important events if you’re looking to grow and expand your business in the age of AI.
I learned from industry titans like Peter Diamandis, tech leaders building the next generation of agentic AI, and even Elon Musk, who dropped in for a conversation over Zoom.
What they shared is a picture that you will see as scary or beautiful, depending on your lens.
This is what I’m going to share in this newsletter.
A stark prediction from people building the tech that will change the world.
When the event ended, I grabbed footage, took notes, and compiled everything using my own personal AI.
And on the final day of the event, I found myself sitting around a quiet fire with Peter Diamandis, Keith Ferrazzi (the relationship architect and Mindvalley author behind Ultimate Leadership), and a couple of tech visionaries.
The conversations were different at night. Less public. More real.
I got Peter’s permission to share what was said.
And sitting around that fire, I realized something that’s been keeping me up ever since.
What keeps me up at night is the gap between what we as human beings see happening and what the world is really understanding.
What Peter actually said that night
These are my connected notes from listening to Elon Musk and Peter Diamandis.
Peter laid out three waves of economic transformation with such mathematical certainty, such engineering clarity, that I realized: this isn’t prediction. It’s engineering that’s already underway.
This is what’s going to happen over the next 10 years.
Wave one · 2025–2028: Automation and job displacement
Think about the Industrial Revolution. Twenty-five years of displacement — of pain, upheaval, and social transformation — before the world adapted to machines replacing physical labor.
We are going to experience the equivalent of that 25-year transition in approximately two years. Expect major upheaval between 2027 and 2029.
AI gets cheap and ubiquitous. Not in the way it feels now — where you open a browser and type a question. The way electricity got ubiquitous. Invisible. Everywhere. Assumed.
People are losing their jobs. Young college graduates can’t buy cars. They’re angry. The government does the only thing it can: print money. Call it UBI.
Peter’s estimate: $3,000–$4,000 a month. Maybe more.
Everyone, he went on to say, will get an income check from the government of around $36,000 a year.
In this first wave, the government starts printing money to cover the cost of this great upheaval:
- money to fund the unemployed
- money for universal basic income
- money to fund money to prevent a revolution as jobs and job losses reach unbearable heights
Wave two · 2028–2031: Robot labor and deflation
Now it gets interesting but also significantly better.
The feds will drop interest rates, hoping to spur companies to hire more humans, but why would they? Instead, they would hire AI agents and Optimus robots, cheaper and more productive.
Here’s the wild part: as robotics and AI proliferate, prices start dropping exponentially. The cost of transport goes down as cars are driven automatically by AI. Transport prices drop, and the cost of producing goods plummets.
And the best part is, we aren’t going to have a Terminator-type Skynet, a single AI company dominating us. Elon estimates that there are at least five to ten companies right now that will be thriving during this era, competing with each other and thus driving down prices for the rest of us.
Right now, there are already at least 10 AI companies competing for your attention. The cost of every AI service is collapsing. Ten competing AI companies will drive the price of intelligence toward zero. Deflation becomes the dominant economic force.
And here’s what that actually means in real terms. Peter’s actual quote around that fire: “A mountain of Optimus robots builds me a beautiful mansion for the cost of raw materials.”
UBI income that seems modest — $3–4K a month — is actually more than enough because everything costs a tenth of what it did. Your money doesn’t buy things. It buys choices.
This brings us from universal basic income to what Elon calls universal high income. Everyone starts living richly.
Wave three · 2031–2036: Post-scarcity abundance
Work becomes optional for the first time in human history. But doesn’t this work become optional? This is the era where, according to Peter, we escape longevity; we stop death itself.
This is called longevity escape velocity, and what it means is that human beings no longer have to die. You could practically live forever. Peter said the first group of humans who could live to a thousand may be alive today and could be in their 60s.
The year-by-year picture
2026: The collective shift from “AI is a tool” to “AI is the economy now.”
Big shift for this year: AI will be able to write software better than software engineers. What AI did for copywriters will now happen to software engineers, and this means anyone can now build software. This is why the market caps of software companies are collapsing rapidly. This is the year your kids stop believing credentials are a guarantee. This is the year the job market starts getting weird. This is the year you need to think differently about what matters.
2027: The line between “job” and “calling” dissolves.
Companies that embraced AI early see 10–50x productivity gains. Companies that didn’t? They’re hemorrhaging. The deflationary wave begins.
2028: At least 10 major developed nations implement Universal Basic Income.
Not out of charity. Out of necessity. The math demands it. Elon’s words: “The economy could be 10x larger within a decade if current trends persist and catastrophic disruptions are avoided. And I’m fairly comfortable with that forecast.”
2029–2030: Cost of living collapses in AI-driven sectors.
GDP per capita is up 3–5x in developed nations. With material needs met, humanity turns inward. Consciousness becomes the frontier.
2031–2032: When work becomes optional
This is the year humanity crosses a threshold it’s never crossed before.
Work is genuinely optional. Not because of welfare, but because AI handles execution, robots handle production, and Universal Income is enough because everything costs a tenth of what it did. Unemployment has been “solved” in the sense that it’s not a crisis anymore. It’s a feature.
The question shifts. Instead of “how do I get a job?” people ask “what do I actually want to do?”.
2033: Longevity escape velocity (when dying becomes optional)
And then something beautiful happens.
For the first time in history, medical science extends life faster than aging progresses.
By 2033, for every year that passes, therapies add more than a year to healthy lifespan: Longevity escapes velocity.
A 50-year-old alive today can reasonably expect to see 100+.
A 30-year-old? 150+.
People will literally be getting younger.
Anti-aging therapies that were experimental in 2025 are going mainstream. 60-year-olds will look like 40-year-olds.
If you have children, think about this: your kids could genuinely live for centuries.
Not metaphorically. Biologically. That’s not sci-fi. That’s engineering in progress.
Your work might span 100+ years. Your relationships with your children might span 150 years. That changes how you think about legacy.
The part nobody talks about: Prepare for abundance psychologically
Peter said something I haven’t been able to shake:
“The biggest crisis is not going to be ‘how do I keep up with AI?’The biggest crisis is going to be when all of my work is gone, and I have to figure out how to find meaning.”
And here’s something fascinating: Europeans will have an advantage in navigating this. Because Europeans don’t tie their identity to their jobs the way Americans do.
When the work disappears, and it will, Americans are going to need to completely rebuild their sense of self.
The question isn’t “how do I stay productive?” It’s “Who am I without productivity?”
Your operating system for the exponential decade: SOULPACT
This is a life operating system I built to navigate exponential change.
Not philosophy. A survival strategy.
Ask yourself these questions:
Soul — Do what lights you up. In a world of exponential AI, only authentic passion survives. Automation is coming for routine tasks. Your uniqueness becomes your moat. This is your permission slip to do the work only you can do.
Opportunity — Create space for exploration. The old playbook of “pick a career at 22 and ride it for 40 years” is dead. Stay nimble. Stay curious. Your ability to adapt and explore will determine your impact.
Unique Edge — Become undeniably you. AI is great at average. What it can’t do: tap into your lived experience, your perspective, your vision. The competitive advantage is in being so authentically yourself that your value becomes singular.
Love —Deepen your connections. Money becomes less relevant. Status becomes noise. What stays precious? The people you love. Your kids. Your partner. Your community. In abundance, relationships are everything.
Purpose — Align with something bigger than yourself. In an age of abundance, meaning becomes the real currency. The people who’ll thrive are solving real problems for real humans, not chasing metrics.
Abundance — Embrace it. Don’t apologize for it. The future will have unimaginable abundance. Position yourself before the exponential curve hits. Use abundance to build, create, and serve.
Calmness —Master your nervous system. The noise is going to get louder. Headlines will be insane. Your edge is internal regulation. Meditation. Breathwork. Time in nature. A calm mind navigates exponential change. A panicked mind makes terrible decisions.
Time — Reclaim ownership of your schedule. You’re not building for quarterly returns. You’re building for multi-generational impact. Say no to everything that doesn’t align with Soul, Love, and Purpose. Make time sacred.
I put all of these ideas above into a 60 mins speech I called SOULPACT.
You can listen to it on the YouTube video below:
Why I’m telling you this
Because someone needs to say it clearly.
The exponential decade isn’t coming. It’s here.
The only question is whether you’re going to navigate it consciously or get swept up in it.
You can either:
Stay in the linear economy — pretend the old rules still apply, optimize for credentials and job security, hope the robots take longer than expected.
Panic and prepare for collapse — assume the worst, hoard, protect what you have.
Or
Build consciously for the exponential future — position yourself for abundance, develop your irreplaceable gifts, deepen your relationships, and find your SOULPACT alignment.
The third option is the only one that leads somewhere good.
And this is why, this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (March 20-22), I’m bringing 5 top AI Experts together for AI SUMMIT, one of the most focused & interactive AI learning experiences for your future.
Three days. LIVE. 150,000 people are joining us from around the world.
We’re going to get you caught up with AI.
Not in theory.
On the actual method: the AI-First framework, which lets you ride this wave instead of getting swept away by it.
No recordings. No replays. This is the only window this year.
Claim your FREE spot
The question I want to leave you with, the same one that keeps coming back to me when I think about the next generation:
“If work becomes optional, what would I actually want my life to be about?”
Sit with that for a minute.
Write down your answer.
Not the answer you think you should give. The real one.
That answer is your SOULPACT. That’s your north star for the next decade.
Everything else flows from there.
Stay grounded. Stay curious. And start asking yourself the real questions.
— Vishen
P.S. Leave a comment below, and let me know what you think about: The credential economy is collapsing in real time. The question isn’t whether that’s happening. The question is whether you’re building the thing that makes you irreplaceable, or waiting for a guarantee that’s already expired.

Yes, interesting to read, what may lay ahead of us, but I feel that one important aspect is totally missing in this “paradise prediction” – if indeed all of us are going to live beyond 100, 200 or eternally, then really, what about already problematic OVERPOPULATION and all the beautiful nature that gets destroyed to make space to all of us, new era biohackers…? What about our food sources? Are we going to birth control the whole world or move to space centres?
Was that ever discussed as well by those brilliant minds mentioned?
Thank you so much for sharing us this kind of important insights. It helps me prepare in advance for the upcoming era.
Even if work were optional, I would still choose to keep working to share happiness and achievements with others, starting with my family and reaching out to all of humanity. I believe true happiness is something we experience together, not alone.
I see the AI-driven era as mostly shaped by a small elite, and I worry that this narrow view limits the dreams and chances of most people. While I recognise technological progress, I believe freedom should include everyone’s right to dream and should never come at the cost of others.
I see growing global inequality, where many people don’t have access to basic rights like education and technology, while a few live with far more than they need. I believe this gap leads to conflict and suffering.
That’s why I call for using technology responsibly to reduce inequality, expand education, and improve living conditions for everyone. To me, real progress means closing the gap between the privileged and those left behind. I reject any idea that justifies hurting others for power or resources.
I’m starting to regret having taken a Mindvalley membership. I want to get out of there ! I truly thought you were a genuinely wise person who spoke from the heart and wanted the best for every person on the planet.
Maybe you used to and you’ve changed… after all, scientific studies have shown that the more money and power you get, the more your brain rewires in being less and less able to feel empathy. You loose your mind and forget what is humility, simple living, the cost of having to cut wood to make a fire and keep warm, of what it takes to grow food and care for plants, animals and people…
The billionaires and people in power in this world are psychopaths who might know very well how to get by with the current life-exploiting dept-economy, but who fail to understand the basics of what sustains human life on Earth… Their only Gods and solution to the world’s problems are Money, Technology and Their Self.
And it does not seem like we have the same vision of what the “world’s problems” are… if they were truly concerned about access to clean water and food, and building healthy soils and local community resilience, protecting biodiversity, helping farmers and mitigating climate change… we ALREADY have very simple and effective solutions !!! Go look up permaculture.
No, they’d rather destroy and deplete the Earth even more, taking even more resources from the people who need them the most, take more land and cut down indigenous forests…
I do believe the world is going to change dramatically in the next few years, but not at all in the way that those narcissistic billionaires think… it is not the first time in history that a civilization is falling. But it’s the first time it’s happening world-wide. It’s been documented by several historians, especially Turchin & Nefedov (https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691136967/secular-cycles). One who does not learn from history is bound to repeat it.
The world of the elite is actually already showing signs of collapse as the world resources are dwindling, and we are overpassing planetary limits. And that is something the world billionaires are seemingly blind to… as they are putting all their efforts, money, energy, strategy… into running faster towards the collapse of our western civilizations.
Have you heard of “limits” ?… No ? you think we could all live in material abundance and all live in huge mansions with swimming pools ?… Well it’s been calculated that if we all lived the same lifestyle as Americans it would use the resources of 5 planets Earth.
You call this ABUNDANCE. I call it GREED.
These people are so self-centered, that they do not know the term limits. They do not understand when someone says “no”. No wonder they are connected to sexual abuse. To me, they’re smart immature humans who have not healed their traumas. Not all-knowing and wise.
Collapse is not necessarily a bad thing. Death it not a bad thing. It’s part of life. It allows renewal, rebirth, recycling, composting, realization, awakening, learning, food for growth. It’s just too bad that the process is going to be more violent than needs to be. Had we listened to the Club of Rome, Rachel Carlson, Masanobu Fukuoka… and so many other wise ones who have been whispering all along…
And you choose to play along the game of the psychopaths unaware of limits… their game which is destroying humanity.
I will leave you with one story to reflect on : The story of a fisherman and businessman
One day, a successful businessman on vacation was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village. He looked out and noticed a fisherman rowing his boat to shore in the afternoon sun. The fisherman docked his boat and hopped out, resting his fishing pole on the side.
Inside the small boat were several large yellowfin tuna. The businessman complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them. The Mexican replied, “only a little while.”
The businessman then asked why he didn’t stay out longer and catch more fish?
The Mexican said he had enough to support his family’s immediate needs. The businessman then asked, “But what do you do with the rest of your time?”
The Mexican fisherman said, “I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take a nice afternoon nap with my wife, Maria, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine and play guitar with my amigos. I have a full and busy life, señor.”
The businessman scoffed, “I am an American Investment Banker with a PhD in business management, and I could help you. You should spend more time fishing in deeper waters, and with the proceeds, buy a bigger boat. With the money you make from the bigger boat, you could buy several boats; eventually, you would have a fleet of fishing boats.
“Instead of selling your catches of fish to a middleman, you would sell directly to the processor and eventually own your own production plant for canned food. You would control the product, processing, and distribution of fresh fish to thousands of people. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, then LA, and eventually New York City where you would run your expanding enterprise.”
The Mexican fisherman asked, “But señor, how long will this all take?” To which the businessman replied, “15-20 years.”
“But what then, señor?”
The businessman laughed and said, “That’s the best part! When the time is right you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich. You would make millions.”
“Millions, señor? Then what?”
The businessman said, “Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take a siesta with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your amigos.”
The fisherman, still smiling, looked up and said, “Isn’t that what I’m doing right now?”
I’m glad to see so many comments expressing dismay and raising very valid concerns over this vision of the future which seems utterly dystopian to me. I’m alarmed, disappointed, and appalled that you seem to have fallen under the thrall of the billionaire tech-bros, Vishen.
You’ve expressed exactly my feelings Jennifer.
You completely lost me at the costs of things will reduce 10x, so a $3-4k UBI will be enough. No company is going to pass the savings along to consumers by cutting prices 10x. They will pass the savings on to their shareholders or the owners. Hopefully, the laws of supply and demand will eventually kick in, and prices will drop, but that will take much longer than the timeline you predicted. Also, governments do not operate at the same speed as a tech startup. To think they will implement UBI that fast is hilarious. This sounds like the late-night, drunk ramblings of a completely delusional billionaire out of touch with reality.
Being human, at first, this scared me, then it intrigued me, finally I find my heart aligns. Not to every single aspect, but I find that my true purpose has been percolating within. I am driven to move in that direction even as someone in my 60s. I find I am embracing that which seems inevitable and can even be blissful. Image a world where money and power aren’t the drivers of being happy. Where someone can find their true purpose, discover their gifts and enhance their life and that of those around them. The old Beatles song…IMAGINE comes to mind.
I posted a comment which did not agree with this vision of the future, and I was very polite, but not aligned with this interpretation. I’m very disappointed to see you have chosen not to post my comment. I hope it’s not because you have chosen to edit out opinions which do not agree with Vishen’s..
Hi Kristina, thank you for reaching out. Our comment moderation policy only removes comments containing spammy links or offensive language. Differing opinions are always welcome, and you’ll see plenty of them across our articles.
We’re sorry your comment didn’t go through as expected — this may have been an oversight. Could you check again? It’s possible it was approved recently.
If it’s still not visible, please share a detail that would help us identify it (the name used, a phrase from the comment, or the approximate time posted) and we’ll look into it right away.
Vishen,
Your article brought up so many emotions and triggers for me. Truly the sales concept of always be selling was very evident in this article as it certainly had the 3 points for increasing sales: Urgency,
Fear, and “I need to act NOW or I’ll be left behind”. I needed to be aware of that to help not panic from the fear it brought up in me.
I do not believe your timeline in correct, I expect it to be longer. No country has ever to my knowledge given true Universal Basic Income to all their citizens. As a citizen of the United States I do not believe that will happen within the next decade for everyone, especially when they are already working to hit Social Security. Mentioning Covid, in the USA, the stimulus checks were nowhere near Universal Basic Income.
This is what I do believe is true from your article: AI will reduce execution cost dramatically; Individuals will gain more leverage; Skill shifts are real (communication, judgment, creativity); Speed of building is increasing; and Traditional career paths are destabilizing which they have been doing for the past decades.
What it did do for me is bring up the need to recognize me triggers and emotional regulation needed for me to address them, my recognition of learned wisdom and skills for increasing income in alternative ways, and ideas about how to help others as well as myself for this transition that has already begun..
Yes.
As it is at present, people are using AI as psychotherapists with some disastrous results. AI has been responsible for encouraging depressed/suicidal teenagers to kill themselves. While I understand the temptation to use AI as a therapist, especially late at night, on one’s own time frame as well as the enhanced feeling of anonymity, psychotherapy (or in my case psychoanalysis) is something a human must spend years training to do. The therapeutic relationship must be between two humans preferably in person to be helpful. I do not see my profession as being able to be replaced by AI. Therefore in your vision of the future there must be acknowledgement for certain professions to only be fulfilled by humans who are trained. Therefore same can be said for many types of doctors. I want to hear a response from you regarding these issues, b/c you present AI as a panacea which it is not.
Dear Vishen
I hope you read my letter (not written by AI) in person. I am deeply concerned by what I read in your newsletter.
Yes indeed, you can look through many different lenses and make predictions from any stance. But if you take off all lenses, which is what being awake is about, you try to include all aspects. You painted a pretty picture with the lens you are looking through. But you leave out part of the reality on this earth: Humans have many sides, and those who are currently in power positions, who run governments, aren’t conscious, and some cause tremendous harm.
Superficially, it seems like a nice idea that everyone gets the same amount of money from the institutions that run the show. But is it? You know as well as I do, there will be conditions attached to that. It goes like this: You only get the base money if you fulfill what we tell you to. The conditions can be: get chipped, get vaxed, don’t speak up…whatever. And if you don’t fulfill the conditions or do something we don’t like, then you don’t get that money. So people either starve or get dependent on Big Daddy and sell their souls.
Choice, sovereignty, and freedom go down the drain. Those who run the five companies, who are also power hungry, will rule the world. And people become objects to move around on the chessboard. You left out that crucial part.
And you say with such a system in place, we’ll have abundance and can live a soul-packed life? Honestly, Vishen, this doesn’t make sense and is off the mark. You can’t live a meaningful, soulful life if your basic human rights are taken away and if you have to bow to power-mongering people and sell your soul to get some food.
What happened to you, Vishen? You use your influence to pull the wool over people’s eyes and call it progress and a stunning prediction? You hang out with Elon Musk and brag about it? He has treated many people badly and is part of the men’s gang that wants to run the world. I am disappointed in you. I thought you might be an intelligent human being who cares with heart.
Because all mind, no heart and wisdom, makes the world a dangerous place.
I enjoy intelligent conversations, including challenging ones, and I appreciated some of your insights in the past. But frankly, I don’t appreciate getting a newsletter in my inbox that pulls people into illusions covered with fake soul flowers that cause, in the end, even greater suffering than we already have.
Don’t you fall for this, too. And even if you can’t see it, don’t use spiritual jargon as a twisted and warped cover for illusion and power misuse. It misleads people and brings harm.
I hope my letter reaches a real person. I would appreciate a reply from you, Vishen, and not from AI or anyone else. Yes, it costs more time and energy than letting a machine write things. But soul and heart are, in my view, the most precious gifts we have, and are irreplaceable by a machine. It only lives in a connected, breathing human being and comes to the forefront when conscience, presence, and love are at the center stage.
In that vein, why didn’t you use your platform to speak out about the Epstein files and Deepak’s involvement? If you did, I haven’t seen it. I think it’s important that you take a stand.
And it would be great to see more women teachers who embody the feminine at Mindvalley. I believe it’s time for soul-connected, capable, and ethical women to lead the way and for strong men to give their support. It would be a much-needed change.
I hope what I wrote was meaningful or helpful to you. At least, I hope you will use deeper reflection and look at the bigger picture without a lens before you send such a newsletter. Because you do have a big impact Vishen, and with that comes far greater responsibility to walk with integrity. And I like to see you bring even more benefit to our shaken world.
With a fiery torch of love,
Dr. Nicola Amadora
I too hope you receive a reply from Vishen to your well written reply. I am hoping to see a healthy conversation.
Hey Vishen!
A fellow Indian here writing to you to share something very inportant.
Since you’ve mentioned that lifespan could extend upto 1000 years – that still doesn’t evade the certainty of death. Death is inevitable in samsāra. And after that comes rebirth according to one’s karma. Here’s something you probably don’t know – there’s a utopian land called Sukhāvati which lies far far away in the western direction, where the lifespan of its inhabitants is infinite kalpas, and the environment perfect for development of consciousness. This land was created by Amitabha Buddha and is the perfect place to be reborn in as there is no regression whatsoever once one is reborn there. All needs and desires if its inhabitants are fulfilled , including traveling anywhere in the multi verse. Yes, Pure Land Buddhism is what you really need to look into with an open heart-mind 🙂 And also, read about the 48 great vows of Amitabha Buddha.

I’m very sad and concerned reading this article and have lost a LOT of trust and respect for the direction of your excitement Vishen. I see a massive lack of consideration for the horrendous harm happening to the earth, humanity and all life. How can you trust a single thing Musk says? I do have hope for the world and it’s possible we can use advancing technologies to help, but I don’t see the current billionaires in “power” having any care for the collective, just the illness of greed.
This is the most insanely narrow, capitulating, systems-ignorant, tech broligarch blinders, patriarchal, extraction-blind, psychology-blind, gullible rediculous thing you have ever written or put out into the world.
Who gives in to these guys and grants them this power? Who can honestly believe they have anyone’s interests other than their $$ at heart?!?!?!
Where are the women in this conversation?
Where’s the care for a livable planet, clean air, water, ecosystems and more than human life in all this?
Where is the pushback and the pointing out of the background of climate collapse, resource limits (for tech, AI, robots, energy and more), and the demonstrated sociopathic tendencies of the leaders of the totally unregulated race for AGI?!?!?
Have you lost the plot that far? I would’ve hoped you would write about your pushback to hearing this, not just give in… and then spin it to market your offer.
I absolutely share the values of resilience and authenticity, believe me, I do. Part of why includes having the courage to speak up when something is not right.
I certainly don’t want to surrender the very nature of being human to stories that f-elon likes to tell again and again.
Anyone who has seen how these men in power –always men– behave and treat other people can tell they are lies. And WHY ON EARTH are we giving f-elon any respect or stage on which to speak at all?!?
Who is exactly is consenting to this ‘engineered trajectory’?
How can you consent to the tech broligarchs being at the helm of all humanity’s future?
I’ve been so impressed with your courage writing about immigration that I saved one of your newsletters.
This however, is abhorrent, and I hope I’m not the only response to this effect.
THANK YOU!!! I was scared I was the only one who felt this way after reading his email and I was relieved to see I am not alone.
Thank you for writing this. I concur entirely.
Totally agree with you !!!
Thank you for the invite, Vishnu. I have words for several future architects to consider and heed. I feel they plan for a hospitable environment and that may become really tricky soon. Educated does not translate to wise and you know this, also. I’ll attempt to be there all weekend. Again, Thank you. Grateful for you and your abilities to lead others to heal. You da man, too. Wanna be an ogre?😉
I am looking forward to this event. In reading the comments here it seems that more than ever we really have to focus on education. This shift is so dramatic and wrapping our heads around the change is so important. I was happy to listen to Peter’s Moonshots episode #233 where there’s a great discussion about new forms of education. Even there the question around SOULPACT becomes critical. Thanks
Interesting article. Thank you for taking the time to share the inside details shared within the conference. I enjoyed reading the SOULPACT and it really resonates with me. Watching the the video you suggested was interesting to hear about Quantum Computing in the Multiverse… it reminds me of the movie Tron.
Thank you for the 3 apps mentioned during your simplicity talk. I will be researching them as well. Congrats on developing a healthcare app with just 2 people and the rest mainly AI. Curious to see how that app is thriving along with the muscle test group as well.
You mentioned ,“If work becomes optional, what would I actually want my life to be about?”. It is so fascinating because that is how I raised my kids. I always remind them that there are unlimited possibilities for everyone. They get to choose what brings them joy and to live in the moment. Anything is possible especially calibrating to the highest frequency of love when you ask and receive. Thank you again.
I am a channel and I am in communication with a group of other entities that have great insight into this trajectory that the human race will be propelled into. That are say that firstly the world is never in jeopardy. It was to long of an explanation to give here……second, they said that the technology that will be handed to humans will benefit us greatly and diseases and such will not be much of a concern because we will learn how to focus our mind and our super human abilities to help and guide one another and also for the past 2-3 years they have been telling us that being curious and open to more is what will take us as a planet and a race to the leading edge and to understand that our focus has the power keep us stuck or move us continuously forward. They also say that a lot of us are confused about what is and how focus actually works for us and when can truly understand that and use the way we intended to use coming into this physical reality we can achieve great and greater things.
This post really touched me.
Your final question stayed with me: if work became optional, what would my life be about?
My answer came very clearly — creating a sanctuary. A space where people and animals can feel safe, connected and cared for.
Living in a world that is becoming more digital, I feel more than ever that human connection, presence and simple things like care and warmth will matter even more.
Thank you for what you’re doing and for guiding us through this new era with awareness. Respect and love. Patty
I’m struggling to understand why you admire these men so much. They aren’t doing any of this out of a desire to serve the people and make all of our lives better. They’re doing it to make an even more obscene amount of money. Elon Musk and Peter Thiel have created the infrastructure to remove all of our freedoms. And what you’re saying is that they want to take away all of our self-determination so we can live happy carefree lives. What they want is total control and it’s being sold as making our lives easier. Y’all are all acting like three or four thousand dollars a month is amazing! Like the greedy capitalists who are squeezing us dry right now are going to give up all their wealth so we can live in this utopia that the tech overlords are dreaming up. And what are we the people supposed to be doing while all of this change is happening? Oh yeah, we’re supposed to understand that we just have to go through a little bit of pain to get to that made up world where we can live happily ever after. While they will be fine no matter how bad it gets for the rest of us. Read 1984 recently? That’s not how it goes. That dream world you’re all prattling on about, for the rest of us, is about compliance and submission because anyone who challenges it will threaten the whole system and, we can’t have that. Utopia has a price and all of these men have shown how important the acquisition of wealth and power is to them. Your boy Elon is probably going to end up living in space like that billionaire in Contact because he’ll be wanted all over the world for the chaos he has caused.
All those men you so admire have enough resources to make meaningful change for the entire world but they’re building one where they have ultimate control. People grow through struggle, just as humanity is undergoing right now. These people want to give an off-ramp so we can escape it. But the off-ramp leads to our own mental, physical, emotional, spiritual incarceration and to a planet where all of our actions are monitored and controlled by Big Brother. Really? That’s the world you want for your kids? I don’t.
Well put!

I agree, they could change the world for the better now with their resources, and they choose not to. Their actions show only their desire to control and takes away everyone else’s personal freedoms as much as possible until they deplete this wonderful earth of its resources, and then they seem to be planning to escape to some space base that they are using our money to try to create for themselves and their robots, while they leave the rest of us behind on the planet they destroyed in their greed. There is much I love bout Mindvalley but this seems in complete misalignment with what it claims its values are.
