Why Do We Live In A Weird World?
- Junk food and content
- W*rs and v**lence across the world, for nothing
- Lowering birth rates and life expectancy
- Dog eat dog society: 14% less trust, 21% more anxiety over the past 20 years
- 5–10 years of work just to afford a down payment on an average US house
Scarcity/Survival Mindset
People are scared to have no money, because a nice house in a safe area costs a fortune, and medical bills make more people homeless than anything else
Chasing quick money, people cut corners and exploit the brain’s weaknesses:
Sugar and D**gs
Lotteries and flashing images
V**lent and **otic content
Those who succeed in exploiting these loopholes focus on power games, instead of making bigger contributions to the prosperity of all humanity. See OpenAI, Meta, etc.
Why Has Progress Slowed Down?
Scientific and industrial progress took us from cold caves to warm homes with light, water, and cozy restrooms (which are still a luxury for billions)
Today, millions of people enjoy more comfort than kings did 200 years ago, and that's fantastic!
But as wealth became concentrated, free markets changed: regulators protect big players, bureaucracy slows innovation, and large companies can buy startups cheaply just to absorb them

Open Source As Path to Prosperity
One of the best examples of scientific and industrial progress that has improved the lives of billions of people in the 21st century is open source technology
Nginx — one of the world’s leading open source web server technologies, powering over one-third of all websites worldwide
Linux — one of the world’s most popular open source operating systems, used by hundreds of millions of people and businesses
Bitcoin — the world’s first open source money protocol, with a market value comparable to major global currencies
Arduino and Raspberry Pi — among the world’s most popular open hardware and software platforms for DIY electronics, robotics, and education, used by millions of people worldwide
Enabled billions of people worldwide to be more productive and create more value

What If We Apply Open Source Principles to the Real World?
What if we create a publicly available library of software, business frameworks, legal blueprints, educational programs, and startup incubation pathways — all focused on making high-quality living 10x more affordable?
- How to generate the most affordable energy in different areas?
- How to build houses at the lowest possible cost?
- How to cure basic health problems with AI-based open source libraries for $1?
- How to organize vibrant communities for much less than it costs to live in big cities?
- How to make preventive healthcare so engaging people can save 10x on medical costs?
On To The Bright Future
Imagine how this productivity boost could change our daily lives. What if an average person could set up a nice home for their family in just 1–2 years of work, instead of 10–20?
What if basic healthcare didn’t cost a fortune?
Imagine billions of people free to focus on what they truly love. Imagine a world with no corporate hamster wheel, where people can trust and help each other, and focus on family, creativity, and science

Will People Become Too Lazy?
The short answer is NO.
Creative people stay productive, even as millionaires. Some will always choose an easy life, and that's normal. But we can use AI-based games to motivate people to create value, leveraging the same brain triggers, but for good

What's The Plan?
- Research current bottlenecks and inefficiencies in providing high-quality housing, healthcare, energy, and food. And research how to fix them
- Publish the research results via the open source model. Engage industry experts and relevant communities into public discussion
- Teach people how to utilize the research and build effective startups that will make in-demand resources more affordable
- Build a public-benefit foundation that will own 5-9% of the nurtured startups. It will create a flywheel to generate more resources to fund deeper research, engage more entrepreneurs, engineers, etc.
The First Steps
- Set up a weekly newsletter with the research results and expert interviews on making housing, healthcare, energy, and food more affordable
- Set up a community of relevant entrepreneurs, engineers, researchers, and media personalities interested in the topics
- Build an engaging AI-based text game to teach people how to launch effective startups from the ground up to the first sales
- Research what discounts and other valuable perks for the community members we can set up fast
