🔄 The transition from extraction to a stellar economy will require a shift in mindset for individuals to become stellar humans, embracing the most amazing personal and societal journey in history.

⏳ The stellar energy system must be built urgently before the monetary system breaks down to prevent the disappearance and crash of extractive capital.

Economic and Technological Disruption

📊 Stellar economics focuses on finding uses for super-abundance, while extractive economics allocates scarce resources, as the two systems have fundamentally different approaches to production and distribution.

🔄 The journey from extraction to stellar systems will require addressing significant challenges and "dragons along the way," but will ultimately enable a new platform for humanity.

🌐 The interstate highway system and internet are examples of unowned, open platforms that created tens of trillions in wealth, serving as models for the stellar core's potential impact.

🚀 The transition to stellar systems will be challenging due to fundamental differences, but will enable a self-sustaining, regenerative system that generates no toxic outputs.
