Episode notes

Imagine a future where basic living is provided as a service for a fixed cost. Technology can meet all our needs while allowing us to earn and invest. We can finally take a vacation from survival, as Peter Diamandis says. The era of terrible artwork might even begin, thanks to people having the freedom to pursue their passions. This future will bring a world with almost zero marginal cost for many goods.

In this episode, Peter and Andrew discuss the challenges and potential solutions for modern democracy including reinventing voting systems, potential threats from AI in the upcoming presidential elections, and UBI (Universal Basic Income).
