When we want to help each other bring an idea into focus, we gather in a beautiful and calm place, for one hour or one week at a time. We build worlds, model their economies, and interrogate the models about what we should do next, right here on Earth. The trick is to generate economies that do not exist, but could. We could theoretically built them, if we so chose. They are the economic equivalent of hard sci-fi: no unobtainium allowed!
These gatherings generate outputs that range from the wildly speculative to the concrete let’s-do-this-tomorrow policy (like this), but are always huge fun.
