• Jim Rutt on the Win Win Podcast - Jim Rutt argues that our current socioeconomic system (“Game A”) is self-terminating due to exponential growth on a finite planet and psychologically manipulative mechanisms like engineered addiction and manufactured consumer demand, and proposes “Game B”—an alternative social operating system based on multi-dimensional tokens, local communities with semi-permeable boundaries, and family/friendship principles—though he acknowledges AGI will likely arrive (98% by 2040) before Game B can scale to meaningful size (only 30% chance of reaching one million people by 2040).
