Okay, now I see more the angle you were framing it from.

Thanks to holidays, I have time to stretch every morning and it makes all the difference. The ability to have a flexible body relaxes the mind and nervous system, you feel more at ease the rest of the day and everything flows. It's amazing how such a simple thing can impact your experience of life so much. A good 30min morning stretching is more than enough. I had forgotten how good it is. Returning to the good basics I guess.

Note: Due to the complexity of the topic and being English not my main language, AI was used to better articulate my own insights. For years I tried to picture what is the next evolution beyond late-stage capitalism: one that is grounded and doesn't fully rely on the progressive evolution of collective values. My sticking point was structural: even if society’s values shift towards stage green of spiral dynamics (e.g. care, inclusion, sustainability), a profit-maximizing firm would still tend to get the upper hand because it can extract surplus (profits) for owners, raise capital aggressively, and scale faster. In a market engineered around maximization, “being nicer” is not a winning strategy; it’s a competitive disadvantage, unless the rules of the game change. After years of no success, some days ago I had my first important insight: there is no need for a challenging systemic-market disruption. It requires the dominant enterprise structure to evolve. The most plausible evolution of a post-capitalist economy is not the abolition of firms, not communism, not central planning, and not a stage green utopian shift in consumer ethics. It’s the rise of non-distributing enterprises: organizations that can compete in markets and generate surpluses, but cannot legally distribute those surpluses to private owners. Any excess is reinvested into developing their mission, strategic vision and value delivery. This single constraint of 'no private extraction' changes everything and shifts money-centric capitalism to product-value-centric capitalism. It flips the organizing principle of the firm from “maximize profit for owners” to “maximize value delivered to stakeholders while remaining financially self-sustaining.” A non-distributing firm (NDE) can still sell products, pay strong salaries, attract world-class talent, run cutting-edge Research & Development, and become operationally excellent. The difference is what happens to the surplus: instead of leaking upward as dividends and buybacks, it becomes fuel for a compounding reinvestment: higher wages, better tools, better service, lower prices, more R&D, deeper trust, longer horizons. This would give a competitive edge to NDEs over purely profit orange-based companies. So Cocacola would not be a good stock investment but a movement towards making the best beverages. This changes the game because many publicly traded firms are structurally compelled to prioritize shareholder returns, even when doing so conflicts with long-term stakeholder value. In an NDE model, the same cash flows can be redirected into the core activity (e.g. product quality, reliability, innovation, and societal benefit) without requiring a global green value transformation from the collective, as well as bad actors. The main drawback of NDEs is initial capital formation (bootstrapping): as they scale less through equity upside and more through retained earnings, debt, revenue-based financing, procurement, and mission-aligned capital. If those pathways mature, a post-capitalist economy can emerge organically: markets remain, competition remains; but extraction becomes structurally harder, and compounding reinvestment becomes the default. The two greatest risks of non-distributing enterprises are corruption through conversion and decay through complacency. As organizations accumulate value, internal and external pressures push relentlessly towards making that value privately extractable; success itself becomes the danger (e.g. OpenAI). At the same time, removing profit incentives and takeover threats risks dulling ambition, especially at the executive level, replacing excellence with comfort. If unaddressed, these forces ensure that either the most successful organizations betray the model, or the most faithful ones underperform. For post-capitalism to scale, non-distribution must find cases of great success, and performance pressure must be consciously regenerated through culture, reputation, purpose, real accountability, excellence and love for the product rather than profit alone. Post-capitalism, then, is not a rejection of markets, ambition, or competition, but a refinement of what they are optimized for. The shift towards non-distributing enterprises does not depend on a rejection of money, but on whether these organizations can remain attractive places to build, create, and excel while keeping surplus aligned with their purpose. In that sense, post-capitalism would not arrive as a rupture, but as a quiet selection process: where the firms that endure are those designed to compound value for society rather than convert it into private exit. This is my prediction for the next macroscale stage of the global economy, and the structural foundation upon which stage green can realistically take root and endure over the coming centuries.

Every serious product, service or innovation, necessitates a gear of truth seeking, whether it is niche or more holistic. That work is then included in the price and payed.

This man is brilliant, it's very different to watch a few shorts from him to a full interview or book. This is elite 0.1% mentality and it synergizes with personal development and spirituality profoundly.

@aurum How do you see the economical landscape evolving? I'm interested to see how you think it will unfold
-
Why you look at the loses? I look at your gains! You're able to be a fucking full time philosopher and mystic in your own payed house. This is like a dream for so many people; I have a 15 year plan just to reach a similar position adapted to my needs. Don't overlook how precious your position is, nor discourage others from making Truth-seeking their life purpose. This was just a subtle point, I get the value of the blog post.

I mean actualized.org has been able to be financially self-sustaining while publishing the deepest truth seeking videos on the internet. The niche of Truth seekers is absurdly low, but in the global economy and with the internet, it is doable. I find it an irony to advocate for the impossibility of such a career path when Actualized.org is a living proof of it's feasibility. You can make your life purpose about Truth and monetize it. It's just not gonna be a prefabricated path. Besides my regular job, I'm making decent money being a trip facilitator. People pay me hundreds of dollars precisely because nobody is offering them the possibility to contact truth and have an Awakening. We all know how difficult it is to monetize truth. And yet, for anyone who genuinely values truth, a person that can deliver it offers tremendous value and therefore is willing to pay for it. See the twist? If you trip with me and I guide you towards an Awakening and become infinite, they all come back and say it was a bargain.
-
I think you're being too reductionistic here. The reason I was pointing this out is because you can make a career about Truth-seeking, you can create the ecosystem for that to happen.
-
On your last quote: but Leo, we pay you for Truth-seeking!

If you have explored DMT or the metaphysics of space, this video will be very eye opening.

Could it be the case that I'm totally wrong? How am I deceiving myself? What am I? Could it be the case that reality is not a dumb material machine? What is Truth? What is Consciousness? How can I become more conscious? Should I cut my loses and chance paths? How do I take great decisions? What should be my daily routine? What books should I read? What is my plan for today? For this week? For this month? For this year? For the next 5 years? For the next 10 years? For the next 20 years? For the next 50 years? For my whole life? What is a question I'm afraid to ask? What am I missing here? In which ways could I love myself more? In which ways could I love others more? How can I become more mature? How can I evolve to the higher stages of cognitive development? In which country do I wanna live? Do I want to be in a couple? Do I want to marry? Do I wanna have a family? How many kids? Do I wanna have pets? Which type? How can I prepare a relative for the moment of their death? How can I prepare myself for death? What are some bad habits I have in my life? What feels off from life? What is something I love about live but I'm not exploring? If money wasn't a problem, what would I do with my life? What are the people I really trust in my life? Which wants I don't? How to ask great questions?

I see imaginary numbers everywhere -
I have problems with my spine (scoliosis) and this yoga Namaskar has really helped me. I do it every morning:

I haven't found "the perfect one" yet. I just enter into YouTube and put full body stretching. These two are decent:
-
Another important general point: this a prediction/tendency for the next 300 years, don't be short-sighted in this sense, you gotta see very long term how this will play out.
-
@aurum Yes, those are all good points. As I mentioned on the limitations of NDEs, it's all about getting the ball rolling. My assumption is that over the next centuries, some company will get that ball rolling, getting into top positions and making a powerful statement into the global economy.
-
They are technically different a non profit is usually designed for charity and literally does not care about profit but about social service. An NDE can be extremely profit focused and make millions, it's just a system that doesn't allow those benefits to spill out of the company, it must be reinvested. All companies do, it's just a matter that those who grow more are the ones which reinvest and receive fresh money continuously. Indeed. What is the next evolution of a company that survives better than the current ones? Given enough initial capital boost, it may be NDEs.
-
The good thing about NDEs is that actually they have competitive advantage over extraction, because that money is reinvested. If both company A and B have a profit of 10$ but company A is forced to give 5$ to stakeholder and reinvest the rest, but company B is able to reinvest the 10$ that gives them competitive advantage. That was the beauty of the insight, to find a way to solve this fundamental systemic problem. The catch-22 is who will give millions to company B. Investors will give it to company A to rig their starting position and make themselves filthy rich. But again, that's caring about the money which is indirect, instead of caring about the thing itself. That sounds interesting. Thanks for sharing
-
@Sandroew I'm not an economical thinker, I'm an ambitious philosopher. I don't plant to solve capitalism but surely NDEs present a refinement of the system. The problem with capitalism is that it puts money at the centre and not in the service/product, making it less efficient. If you focus on the product/service itself, then capitalism forces the advancement of humanity, instead of the enrichment of a few. Again this is just my first legit insight in this realm, so take it with a grain of salt.

Lots of Love❤️

Thanks for sharing the children soldier video, def thought provoking

One friend of mine recommended me this film and it's surprisingly good. If you have explored consciousness or your psyche very deeply, it will make you think. If you trust me, watch the film directly in Netflix, that's the best way to watch a film, fresh and clean. If you want a teaser or you don't plan to watch it, here's the trailer.

Yes, there are recontextualizations. I like the fact that there are no loose ends, everything weird fits nicely in the end. I also like the filming and colours itself, indeed very trippy. The transitions from scenes are also quite unique.
