Episode notes

There are dangers and this happy period in human history could come to an end as a result of a political mishap or a war. The expansion of classical liberalism and basic human dignity was accompanied by this tremendous creation of wealth. Those came together for a reason and that is why in super abundance, we say super abundance equals population times freedom and that freedom is not guaranteed.

In this episode, Marian, Gale, and Peter discuss the meaning of SuperAbundance, how the world is the best it’s ever been, and go over a variety of different commodities that have become increasingly cheaper and accessible to the worldwide population.

You will learn about:

10:16 | Everything is becoming abundantly cheaper.
35:16 | Will we be overpopulated, or will we be underpopulated?
53:36 | Screw the good old days!
