We have before us an opportunity to incentivize our collective interests away from unbounded consumerism as a means for shareholder profit, towards a future where virtuous culture and states of mind are empowered to be built as an end in themselves. We must reorient society so the economic machine does not continue to eat the planet and our human values. Vrbs offers a better incentive system, built on the hope that we can economically empower people to “drop out” into a culture that prioritizes human values above capital, and people above systems. A future where prosperity is measured not just in material wealth, but in the richness of our communities and relationships, the depth of our experiences, and the flourishing of our shared humanity. Vrbs is a revolutionary first step towards this future. I have strong conviction we can do this, it’s well within our grasp, we just have to reach out and take action. ▀▄▀
