Hello
It’s one thing to have the ‘Save the World’ solution; it’s another to get it discussed.
Despite pride in our [as yet, only quasi-] ‘liberal democracies’ & [pseudo-] ‘battle of ideas’ and an inner yearning for full-civilisation, an interstellar observer could perceive it as a case of:
I’ll do anything for my kids & country except mention ‘Coopetysm’.
However, that alien would be mistaken as it’s more likely due to Coopetysm’s novelty – i.e. we’re used to either ‘winner takes all’ polarisation or centrist lowest-common-denominator compromise yet Coopetysm transcends the Left/Right/Centre-paradigm.
Thus, this is a new discussion-catalysing attempt – ‘Save the World Stand-Up’: https://youtu.be/Ry5oyyi8yzk
Thank you.
Best regards

The ‘Save the World’ Formula
For humanity’s benefit, until it’s solved, every economist should start their day asking:
‘265 years since Industrial-Revolution-Manchester’s ‘National-Product-to-subsistence ratio’ was around 1.3, having gone from the shovel to AI, how can (Australia’s) ‘GDP-to-subsistence ratio’ be only 5 – i.e. GDP per capita is $100,000 and the subsistence-income is, at least, $20,000 per year?’
The world has 5 Big [SEE–in–G] Picture exponentiating outcome-problems:
- Socio-disempowerment
- Econo-inefficiency
- Enviro-international-invasiveness
- Enviro-natural-unsustainability
- Government-budget-pressure.
Yet, they’re simultaneously, promptly and blissfully solved via ‘Coopetysm’.
Specifically, the simple singular solution is ‘The USI-4-UMHoW Reform’, which involves substituting ‘The Universal Subsistence Income’ (USI) for both:
- Universal Minimum Hourly Wages (UMHoW)
- Income-Welfare (including, as well as direct-payments, subsidies (such as for childcare) & tax-breaks (such as for superannuation).
Regarding economists’ ‘start their day’ question, given we have 3 tools – i.e. Science, Human-Organisation & Technology (SHOT) – with S&T exponentiating, the efficiency detractor must be ‘Human-Organisation’.
The CDO hypothesis is: the predominant culprit is the social-disorganisation-infrastructure of The USI-absence & UMHoW/income-Welfare-presence with their direct and, particularly, indirect disaffects summing to include stagnant-productivity & ‘The Cost-of-Living Crisis’.
Lastly, this Reform potentially transcends Left/Right polarisation – i.e. it unifies us – because that polarisation is about prioritisation and, in this case, all 5 SEE–in–G priorities are simultaneously and comprehensively addressed such that we achieve ‘maximised universal-sustainable-stability-prosperity’.
