In This Episode
In this deep and exploratory episode of Redefining Tomorrow, James Arbib joins David Goldsmith for a journey into the roots of civilization, the illusions we’ve inherited, and how they shape the futures we’re building. As co-founder of RethinkX and the Stellar World Initiative, James walks us through thousands of years of societal evolution—from the Neolithic revolution to today’s techno-environmental narratives—and asks us to consider whether we truly understand the systems we’re trying to fix.
They explore why scarcity thinking dominates global policy making, how civilizations have mirrored each other through to modern America, and why rethinking our assumptions—not just our tools—may be the only way forward.
