Thanksgiving has a way of making people think big, and Shimmy Says Ep. 35 goes all the way there. Alan Shimel breaks down Elon Musk’s latest ideas on AI, robotics, and a future where poverty disappears and work becomes optional. From Star Trek’s Zephyr Cochran to the real-world challenges of a moneyless society, this episode looks at the promise and the problems. It’s a hopeful vision, but human nature, economics, and basic reality still stand in the way. To build anything close to a post-scarcity world, society will need more than robots. It’ll need maturity.
