🤖 The AI Paradigm Shift: Beyond Resource Optimization - Krzysztof takes us on a philosophical journey through history's technological eras, from Greek substance thinking to medieval God-centered worldviews, to our current technological age where everything is seen as a resource to be optimized. What happens when AI makes this optimization obsolete?
🧠 From Human Resources to Human Flourishing - In a world where AI handles efficiency and productivity, how do we transition from viewing people as resources to prioritizing human wellbeing? We explore investment opportunities in this fundamental shift.
🚗 Post-Scarcity Society & Universal Basic Income - what happens when AI eliminates most jobs. Will we become a society of creators, educators, and capital allocators? How do investors prepare for a world where traditional employment models collapse?
📚 Philosophy Meets Investing - Why understanding Heidegger's critique of technological thinking might be crucial for spotting the next big investment opportunities. The best investors go where things are heading, not where they've been.
