The world’s first meta-time-strategy game.

It’s like Starcraft with time travel. And it deals with paradoxes.

After I have a cup of coffee, perhaps I’ll be able to explain why this brings me so much joy. Mostly having to do with prepping our brains to actually deal with such things, and being self-aware enough to understand the impacts of things in the past and therefore potentially how our current actions affect the future. Most of the time we just wing it, and come up with the reasoning later. This… this is good.

More videos and explainations here.

Robonomics: If robots and digital systems can do everything, let them–but let human society skim value from the result. This becomes a technologically-driven version of the Basic Income Guarantee model, where citizens are given a basic above-poverty income guarantee and are free to explore education, entrepreneurship, or even a life of indolence. Or they can get one of the remaining human jobs, jobs that may pay much more than they do now in order to attract people who otherwise wouldn’t want the work.
