It’s inspiring to imagine a future of abundance, but the bigger question is how we get there. What about stories that explore that journey -- call them Bridges to Abundance? You could offer a companion challenge inviting short trailers about the transition: peaceful economic shifts in an AI world, new democratic systems, universal access to AI productivity, or new forms of global cooperation. It’s valuable to imagine a future of abundance. It’s equally important to imagine the path that gets us there.

Well, that could be your movie submission! you're already brainstorming a cool idea!

"Make it so!" as Captain Picard says

It's not complicated. AI and its robot machines working 24 x 365 is how we get there.

I’m still waiting for flying cars.

Yea, me too, we live 40 minutes from nearest small town and two hours from city. I'd be happy to get to town in 10 minutes and city in 30 minutes.

Why not go to work building that which you desire?

Vic Holtreman's avatar

I actually invested in one 10 years ago. Still waiting for it to get off the ground.

Steven Henderson's avatar

What are you waiting on?

Vic Holtreman's avatar

I just told you. Literally waiting for it to get off the ground. It's the Pal-V.

Several versions have been built and demonstrated to work. They look like flying saucers drone power by fans to give lift. Most likely to operate like taxis rather than privately owned. Peter talks about them in his Moonshots podcasts.

I would settle simply for ensuring my neighbors can thrive at a level at least somewhat comparable to my own. Between all of us, without threat of violence or discontinuity, we will all then be freed up for so much more!

Amazing! I love this. Over the last 5 years United Planet has filmed over 2000 hours of immersive visions of the thriving future featuring over 1000 leaders at the front lines of creating it representing over 100 countries. See www.unitedplan.et

We have hosted 35 UP Games in 26 countries to story positive futures. See www.up.game

I’m excited to see this prize!

Awesome! I follow and practice the teachings of Abraham Hicks, and I believe we give energy to what we focus on. The call for movie trailers is a call for those who want to resonate with high frequencies to hold those frequencies and keep focusing on them, which will help manifest them! I think your project is positive and optimistic and I join you in those high frequencies. I believe in manifesting a happy future by focusing on good things and ignoring the bad things. We cannot get sick enough to help sick people, or poor enough to help poor people. In other words, we have to hold a frequency and let people choose to resonate with it or not. We cannot lower our frequencies in order to save the world. Anyway I am no filmmaker but I am an artist/mathematician and I keep a daily gratitude art journal so I have already been practicing actively creating a happy here and now for myself. This sounds super cool, so I think I will participate in this project!

Dr. Diamandis, I think this is an amazing project, as a psychiatrist (Paul Rashid MD) and creative, I’, looking forward to creating and submitting short film for the benefit of the our future, Cheers!

I LOVE Star Trek, the original series absolutely, next generation, and Voyager are my favorites. Yes, they provide for an optimistic future. Myself, I live on hope though I easily fall into pessimistic thoughts:(

Imaginary Axis's avatar

it's okay, just look up Abraham Hicks or Neville Goddard! Your mind and focus is so powerful! You can decide to change! celebrating your future!

I registered as soon as I saw this! I was planning to pitch you a documentary series in the next week. Interesting timing.

Mr. Diamandis, I used to be inspired by the accounts I read of yours back then - that is, before you associated yourself and your vision with the moguls in Silicon Valley.

Then the bubble burst, and now the garbage and trash is flowing freely, and the cases are in the courts as the Orange Maniac threatens massive surveillance and autonomous weapons systems.

You have not taken a moral stance, since your obsession with the future has blinded you to present realities - upon which NO future of any worth can be built until the rampant corruption has been surgically removed.

There are 'rebels without causes' and visionaries without credibility - I need not repeat where you stand there, plying your view in the very face of national, and international, chaos, betrayal, loss of allies, wars and more wars.

Remove the beam from your own eye, before you ask me to remove the splinter in mine - for the sole purpose of 'seeing' the truth and glory of your vision, one among thousands, and with much better credibility.

Flying cars? MUST be autonomous? Imagine 14.000 high school parking lots each day as school starts and then class lets out and all the teens rush away to their favorite shops and sports?

Greetings Pete;

I have vision issues and am challenged using WhatsApp. May we use Gmail I can listen and reply to? I applied for your XPRIZE SCI-FI contest with my seven InnreAliens.

I totally agree with your concept. Why do we always get provided with a dim view of a future that could with the proper application truly free of many of life's hardships. Collectively, with a healthy view of the future we can manifest this truly freeing future for all.

I love your optimism and substack. What if everything went right!

Robert Koch's avatar

So cool! Will definitely create it. Ever since a young kid, I've been captivated by what if scenarios. In any of those very different ones, there was one constant..

rmcchurch's avatar

I would love to make a suggestion, dunno if Peter is reading this, but I predicted UBI a decade ago, before reading about it. My thought, for every company replacing a human with robots would be taxed a certain amount per month or year. This money would fund the UBI. Very simple idea, but if I was president, I'd make it a law. Companies would still prosper and people losing jobs would still receive money. It's a no Brainer win win.

Jojo's avatar

WHY will we still need money when AI/robots can do all human work and provide everything we might need in unlimited abundance?

rmcchurch's avatar

If or until that happens, companies using robots should be heavily taxed to pay for soon to be chronically high unemployed worker. Freaken no brainer!!

B. Roberts's avatar

lol… Im living it literally. Correct me if I am wrong. 😏 Let’s just say the story should start with one question literal nations and à shady lab and a group of agents that come together to build something people have been trying to destroy for over a year or at least copy!
