In January 2022, my friend Marko Papic and his strategy team published a report that should have changed how institutional investors think about the next fifty years.
Yea, while I love crypto, it’s not the highest on my hierarchy of goods. Nor is human progress or technology. God is. That probably sounds cliche. Decentralization is great to some extent as it pertains to overcoming tyrants, but it fails to provide a meaningful sense of community. Yes we need walls to protect ourselves, but the ultimate vision of reality is one in which we invite our enemies to dine with us at our tables, just as Christ invites us to dine with Him.
As as a spiritual person who honors God/soul/Jesus, I like Jordi’s take because even though he doesn’t say it, it is (in one persons opinion) very spiritual. As spiritual beings who evolve (or at least are supposed to evolve) this is what Jordi’s articles are about. People think AI is not spiritual or ‘God’. I believe it is. We are responsible for how to use this gift. This is just one person’s opinion.

In a crisis of self identity, the question becomes “who am I?”
Paramhansa Yogananda, in talking about these times of upheaval which he foresaw, described small spiritual communities as a solution. Meditation becomes not an option, but a way of answering the question who am I, as well as a meaningful connecting force among people.
We need to get to know ourselves inwardly. This is the next frontier.
… and atlas shrugged. @jordi as always - love your writing. So many good things. Favourite take away (marketing perspective) is authentic connections and what this will mean. Sharks on the loose or true connection. Guess we will have to wait and see. Fun times ahead.
1447 year ago, Islam taught humanity to pray at least 5 times a day together, as a family or as a community, congregate every friday, make pilgrimage, and breakfast together during ramadan, etc.
Would love to read the Marko Papic article as well! Def be following him. Thanks for the work you continue to pump out. How much ai goes into picking these topics? Curious, do you find an article that is/was interesting and then use ai to relate it to the present or do you pull the whole thing out of hat like a true magician?
Great essay! Your views correspond to my essay "The Renaissance of Humanity". Community and the human imperfection are like scarce assets, that AI can't disrupt.
"what happens when the structures that gave people default meaning, the job, the institution, the nation, start to dissolve?" This is a great point Jordi.
I have been asking myself the same question. For me, given what I see already, one answer is that people will want to base their identities on something else beyond work. Something based on grit and overcoming challenges. I think fitness will be one such area with people identifying as "athletes".
Would love anyone's opinion on this. Building athlyst.fun based on this thesis.
Ok - we can see a route to ‘harmonious’ productivity, transactions and some sense of community. But how do manage governance of whatever replaces nationhood - resource allocation, defence, security, access to services?
Futuristic Alpha ❤️ Jordi sees what’s coming. Super Intelligence will educate the people against the folly of materialism and self indulgence. Abundance, health & creativity. #Choice #Freedom
Wow! I’m still shaking with a self awareness of this subconscious blind spot. This was a reckoning that I’m still trying to absorb. More importantly, a road map moving forward!

Jordi - Long time fan. Pls continue to write these letters, there is so much to learn from looking at some of these things through your lens... Thx...
Voluntary association, rather than manufactured institutions.

Great article Jordi!! is there still an active copy of this PDF? If so, can you direct us to where a person can find it.

Pair this article with the book “The Sovereign Individual”.

If you measure success in life as happiness and fulfillment I would advise becoming part of a guild. High trust partnerships are so powerful.
