S2E26 First Principles for Human Systems

THE FOUNDATION CRISIS IS HERE.
Every system we trusted is collapsing into its opposite. America went from "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness" to "You'll own nothing and be happy." Bitcoin went from "peer-to-peer electronic cash" to Wall Street ETFs. AI is racing from human augmentation to human replacement.
The pattern is clear: Without explicit first principles, every system gets captured.
This Monday, we're proposing something unprecedented - a global conversation about the bedrock principles that should govern human systems. Not just governments. Not just protocols. But every structure humans create, from network states to AI governance to personal philosophy.
In This Episode:

Why America 1.0 and Bitcoin both failed the same way
The L0/L1/L2 problem nobody's talking about
Three non-negotiable first principles for human flourishing
How to prevent technocratic capture before it happens
The narrow window we have before AI governance locks in forever

We're Not Building America 2.0 - We're Building Human Systems That Can't Be Corrupted
This isn't about creating one perfect system. It's about giving every community - digital or physical - the tools to build from first principles up. Because when you don't define your foundation explicitly, someone else will redefine it for you.
What We'll Explore:

How to create a platform for debating first principles
Who should participate in these foundational discussions
Methods for tracking how our understanding evolves over time
Ways to apply these principles without waiting for permission

The Choice Is Simple:
Path A: Drift into CBDCs, social credit, and algorithmic control
Path B: Define and defend human-centric first principles NOW
Critical Topics Monday:

Free Will vs. Deterministic "Nudging"
Self-Custody vs. "Trusted" Intermediaries
Voluntary Association vs. Forced Participation
Why first principles must be harder to change than Bitcoin's L1
The parallel economy as testing ground for new principles
How to run multiple experiments without waiting for permission

This is your last chance to be part of defining what humanity stands for before machines decide for us.

LIVE MONDAY @ 6PM ET
"First principles aren't discovered, they're chosen. And that choice determines whether humanity thrives or merely survives."
