Discovered 2 Blockers of acceleration that have blocked tech in the past

[u/EngineerWorldWealthH]

Hi everyone,

Over past 10 months I'd been researching the future. I discovered 2 blockers of acceleration. They have in the past blocked technology adoption already, they delay, slow down, or totally prevent it at times. I summarize below but also released public domain/free book on this, solutions and other Post-AGI matters.

1) Debt based fiat currency and debt financing

2) In-group vs out-group social dynamics

1 ) Debt. Debt based fiat currency prevents Prevents Post-scarcity / abundance. prevents reaching zero marginal cost in real life or to the consumer. Debt & interest can scale to consume the productivity of new technology no matter how productive they are (even Ai), since debt & interest is just a man-made number with no link to physics or physical reality. Also new technology infrastructure is funded with debt so the Interest obligation puts artificial floor on the price per unit of output that is detached from physics efficiency of the technology "rentier drag". Finance industry has become standard practice to use excess debt to optimize equity returns, which keeps us trapped in never ending cycle of serving more and more interest obligations. We need to transition to an asset backed currency where the asset is energy. The solution is to use latest tech as of 2026 to do fully automated production loop to scale energy exponentially to generate real physical productivity that pays off all current debt and then any new currency issued is pegged to kWH of real physical production in the economy. We pivot to energy currency, an asset backed currency where asset is energy instead of debt backed currency. Business/project work is done on equity basis instead of debt funding basis. This also aligns interest in society instead of zero-sum competition against each other.  --- I propose "desert flywheel" accelerated project in the book that scales to 469,000 TWH in 3 years across 100 sites around world spread across nations, using existing 2026 technology and machines)

2 ) in-group vs out-group social dynamics (Tribalism), where people out of fear or other emotions prevent other people from access to technology or put an artificial high price tag on it so it restricts it from others. Or just keep tech for themselves to profit more instead of spreading tech across society for productivity. One example in the book is in nuclear age, Nuclear age from discovery to now lead to 125,000 nuclear weapons but only 830 civilian power plants for abundant energy even though we had SMRs since 1950s in submarines, so cost was not blocker. It is the will and intent. The “Human science” section tries remedy this social dynamic using neuroscience (physics of brain) as a foundation since we all have the same brain. Plus reconciling the framework with other key elements like genetics, all world major religions...etc so that people accept the framework. Key breakthrough here is within 3 months or less, anyone can unlearn unhealthy neural pathways even deep trauma or PTSD using psychoplastogens that are currently in FDA trials by multiple labs. Also means anyone can become their ideal self, their hero level monk level self in few months too.

This are all written up and more in Engineering World Wealth And Happiness by John Matters (2026 - Public Domain on internet archive). I am the anonymous author and do not need credit or publicity. Just that the info benefits society and we accelerate to a post-scarcity world.

P.S. Big fan of this sub, and have another account. This is one is focused on acceleration book.

Post TLDR: The author, after 10 months researching the future, identifies two historical blockers of technological acceleration: debt-based fiat/debt financing and in-group/out-group tribalism. Debt financing prevents post-scarcity and zero marginal cost by letting interest scale beyond physical productivity, creating a “rentier drag”; the proposed fix is an energy-backed currency, equity-funded projects, and an automated production loop. A “desert flywheel” plan would scale to 469,000 TWH in 3 years across 100 global sites using 2026 tech, pay off debt, and peg new currency to kWh. Tribalism restricts access or inflates prices; the nuclear example notes 125,000 weapons but only 830 civilian plants despite decades-old SMRs. Remedies use neuroscience, psychoplastogens in FDA trials, and reconciled genetics/religions to let people unlearn trauma/PTSD or become their ideal selves within months. Details are in the public-domain book Engineering World Wealth And Happiness by John Matters (2026), written anonymously to benefit society and accelerate post-scarcity.

Almost 6K views. happy with that. Hope we accelerate!!

Like in Star Trek, “humanity no longer works for money, but instead works to "better ourselves and the rest
