Forty percent of Americans are one paycheck from crisis — and Chris Remboldt says that's shareholder capitalism deliberately optimizing stock price over human welfare. Post-money means real wealth is time, energy, and atoms. He tells Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley that UBI is a dead end, ad-supported free housing and food arrive in 10-15 years, and a self-replicating Von Neumann fleet lands in four years. Dave pushes back on who actually owns the AI making all of this possible.
